Brian was extremely thorough, honest, and communicated exactly what needed to be done... I'd highly recommend him for sprinkler service!

In 20 minutes Kyle offered 2 permanent solutions to 2 long term problems that the other company had not thought of
Keni R.
Their Expertise is worth paying for. In 20 minutes Kyle offered 2 permanent solutions to 2 long term problems that the other company had not thought of. Sprinkler work is expensive (but so are groceries) but Kyle offered a very fair price for the work described, lower than I expected for the combination of physical labor and technical expertise required.
Komal D.
Sprinkler Guru Brian is very generous man. He gave me his very honest and right advice for the job that I was looking for. I know I was keep asking him and every time without any fail he responded me. Thank you so much Brian. I really appreciate it.
Robyn G.
Brian was great to work with! He responded right away when I initially informed about his services. It was easy to set up an appointment and he kept his appointment as scheduled. He discussed the cost up front and did a great job inspecting our irrigation system. He left recommendations with me and the cost was reasonable. We will use this company again in the future and also recommend to family and friends!
Kyle V.
They came out today and actually did more work than required to find a valve before giving me an estimate on the job. They also offered to fix an unresolved issue I have when I needed it done quickly. I will definitely use them in the future for any irrigation repairs.

Sprinkler Guru provides specialized, high-end landscape water management across the entirety of West Lake Hills and the 78746 zip code. We understand that properties winding along Bee Cave Road, Redbud Trail, and Toro Canyon demand a much higher caliber of hydraulic engineering than standard Austin neighborhoods.
The defining characteristic of Westlake real estate is the dramatic elevation change. We excel at retrofitting these sloped properties with sophisticated check-valve systems that prevent the lowest sprinkler heads from draining the entire line when the system shuts off. From the heavily wooded, hidden estates to the striking modern builds overlooking the Colorado River, we deliver the precision necessary to maintain pristine lawns and vibrant native gardens while adhering strictly to local water conservation goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Westlake Irrigation
How do you prevent water from running down my steep, sloped lawn?
Runoff is the biggest challenge in West Lake Hills. Standard sprinklers spray too much water, too fast, for sloped soil to absorb. We solve this using two methods: First, we install pressure-regulating sprinkler bodies with heavy-duty check valves (SAM heads) that stop water from draining out of the lowest heads. Second, we program your smart controller with "cycle and soak" scheduling—applying water in very short 3-to-4 minute bursts, giving the hillside time to absorb the moisture before applying more.
My property is basically solid limestone. How do you install a system?
Trenching through Westlake limestone requires specialized expertise and equipment. We utilize low-impact rock-saws and trenchers designed specifically for the Hill Country to avoid property damage. Furthermore, where soil is incredibly shallow, we rely heavily on premium subsurface drip irrigation. This bypasses the rock entirely, delivering water directly to the root zones of your plants and turf without the need for deep trenching.
Will a new smart system help me avoid fines from Austin Water/LCRA?
Absolutely. Compliance with watering restrictions in West Lake Hills is strictly enforced. We install EPA WaterSense-certified smart controllers that connect to local Wi-Fi weather stations. These can be programmed to strictly adhere to your designated watering days and times. They will also automatically pause irrigation during rain events or high winds, ensuring your landscape stays healthy while completely eliminating the risk of accidental watering violations.
How do you handle drainage behind retaining walls?
Many Westlake properties rely on expensive retaining walls to create usable flat space. Poor irrigation and drainage can cause hydrostatic pressure to build up behind these walls, leading to structural failure. We carefully design our irrigation zones to keep water away from the immediate backside of the walls, and we can integrate French drains or weep-hole clearing to ensure excess water is safely routed down the hillside without compromising your hardscaping.
