Irrigation & Sprinkler Systems in Austin, TX
Thrive Landscape and Design is a veteran-owned, locally based team installing and repairing irrigation systems across the greater Austin area. For more than 20 years, we’ve built sprinkler, drip, and smart watering systems that work with our clay, caliche, and limestone soils — not against them — and that keep a yard healthy on Austin’s once-a-week conservation schedule. Our work is handled by TCEQ-licensed irrigators, and we are a design-build and repair shop, not a recurring lawn-mowing service.

Every Irrigation Service We Offer
From a brand-new sprinkler system on a Round Rock build to a leaking valve in a Westlake bed, every job starts with a walk of the property, a read on the soil, and an honest plan for watering the yard efficiently. Pair a new system with fresh landscaping, route runoff with the right drainage, or start from a full landscape design. Browse the irrigation services below, or check the City of Austin watering schedule before you call.
Sprinkler Installation
A full in-ground system designed and installed by TCEQ-licensed irrigators. We zone by hydrozone, match heads to coverage, and add a backflow preventer and freeze protection so it runs clean for years.

Irrigation Repair
Broken heads, leaking valves, cut wires, dead zones, and failed controllers, fixed fast. We troubleshoot any system, no matter who installed it, and give you a clear estimate before we touch a thing.

Drip Irrigation
The most water-wise way to keep beds, natives, and trees alive on one watering day a week. Drip puts water at the root, cuts evaporation and runoff, and keeps foliage dry to fight disease.

Smart Irrigation
A weather-based controller that adjusts run times to rain, heat, and your hydrozones, and skips a cycle when it rains. Less water, lower bills, and a system that follows Austin’s schedule on its own.

Irrigation Questions, Answered
Yes. Texas requires anyone who installs, repairs, or maintains an irrigation system to be a TCEQ-licensed irrigator or to work directly under one. We pull the permits, follow the state irrigation rules, and leave you a system that meets code. If a quote you got comes in suspiciously cheap, ask whether the installer is actually licensed before you sign.
Texas requires a backflow prevention assembly on every in-ground irrigation system tied to a potable water supply, and many Austin-area systems use a reduced pressure zone (RPZ) device that has to be tested by a licensed tester. We install the correct assembly for your setup and make sure freeze protection is in place so a hard January freeze doesn't crack the device or split the pipe.
We zone the system by hydrozone, grouping plants with similar water needs onto separate valves so the lawn, the beds, and the shade garden each get only what they need. Turf goes on rotary or matched-precipitation heads, beds and natives go on drip, and a smart controller adjusts run times to the weather. That layout is what keeps a yard healthy on a once-a-week watering schedule.
Austin soil is brutal on irrigation work. Blackland clay east of MoPac shifts and holds water, while caliche and limestone in west Austin can stop a trencher cold. We bring the right equipment for the ground we hit, set lines at a depth that survives soil movement, and protect tree roots when we route around live oaks. We tell you up front when rock is going to add time to the job.
Yes. We build every system to deliver a deep, efficient soak on a single watering day, which is how Austin's year-round conservation schedule is structured. Drip on the beds, properly matched heads on the lawn, and a smart controller that skips a cycle after rain all stack up to a healthy yard that follows the rules. Check the City of Austin watering schedule for your address's assigned day and any current stage rules.
Absolutely. We troubleshoot and repair broken heads, leaking valves, cut wires, failed controllers, and zones that won't fire, no matter who put the system in. We'll walk every zone with you, give you a clear written estimate, and fix what's actually wrong instead of selling you a system you don't need. Call us at (512) 503-1935 to get on the schedule.
