They placed the grass back exactly where it was dug up and it has quickly grown back except in areas that are highly shaded. We're working to get this area addressed. Michael also worked with us on price honoring the Angie's List coupon to bring his price in line with the competition. Michael is always reachable which was a huge relief compare to many of the other irrigation companies I looked into where you're stuck going through their corporate office only to leave a voicemail and wait a few days to hear back. Irrigation Design Services' warranty is one of the better ones at 3 years as well. We do have one issue with a sprinkler head but I'm working with Michael to get it resolved. If the repair / warranty follows through as well as the initial service and installation I would have almost zero complaints. Highly recommend Michael and team at Irrigation Design Services.

Lawn Irrigation reviews from real Angi homeowners in Alief, TX
I knew nothing about artificial grass and they were very patient with my questions. The timing was so fast! A day and a half and I have a beautiful lawn!
Kyle McLaughlin met with us and listened to both of our hopes and concerns for the landscaping. Kyle's suggestions were perfect! We love the new shape of the flower beds, the stone edging, the plants he suggested and how he layed them out. We also really like the flagstone / granite gravel...
Team drew up a schematic of my yard with their suggested irrigation outlets throughout the yard. Work was performed quickly and professionally.

I have used Waterwise Irrigation several times, including having them install a sprinkler system in my large side yard. I can always count on them to do the job right. I usually have them out once a year to check my system and do any fine tuning it might need.

I'd love to actually write a real review stating how well they treated our lawn but I unfortunately can't really say anything other than I'm now forced to find someone else to perform the work after wasting time waiting for Green Up to contact me.

"We wanted to decrease the amount of grass and improve the curb appeal of our front yard. Our goal was to increase the size of the driveway, add a walking path, and add decorative rock beds. Cedric came up with the perfect design and brought it to life. He and his crew, including sub contractors, did an excellent job right down to the smallest detail and everything was guaranteed. The work was completed in fall 2024. Spring and summer brought beautiful color that we continue to enjoy in the heat of August. We couldn't be happier with the finished project and have received many compliments. Thank you Design Exteriors for a job well done!"

"I scheduled an appointment with Joey to give me an estimate for some landscaping work. He forgot about the appointment until I called him, resulting in him being 1 1/2 hours late. Following our meeting, he was supposed to provide me with a quote for the work we discussed, but I haven’t heard from him. I’ve since read reviews on Backyards Plus. He either is a 5 star, or a 1 or 2 star based on the reasons I’ve cited above. Not sure if he treats all potential customers this way, or maybe my project wasn’t enough $$$ for him. I was ready to have him do my landscaping project and take over my lawn service. Doesn’t seem to want the business."

FAQs for lawn irrigation projects in Alief, TX
While watering your lawn by hand might save you money upfront, installing and using a lawn irrigation system does save you money over time. You are less likely to overwater your lawn with a professional irrigation system, which will cause a reduction in water usage. These systems use the right amount of water without waste. In addition, watering your lawn the correct amount will also help prevent different fungi from growing, saving you money in fungi removal costs.
Lawn irrigation is the process of getting water to your lawn, grass and all, for it to grow. There are five main types of lawn irrigation methods:
Manual irrigation puts you in charge of the flow of water. Using a sprinkler head on your hose is best to evenly distribute the water across your entire lawn. This doesn’t take much time but requires you to be physically outside holding the hose.
Above-ground sprinklers attach to your hose and rotate or oscillate around your lawn. Since these are above-ground, they’ll need to be moved when it’s time to mow, and depending on the size of your property, you might need to move it around your yard for full coverage.
In-ground sprinklers are flush with the ground when not in use but pop up above the ground level when it's time to water the lawn. Piping for these sprinklers is all found underground, and there are different types of sprinkler heads for different uses and lawn sizes.
Drip irrigation involves drip lines that are more efficient than sprinklers for more extensive lawns. This involves a lot of digging since they are installed underground, but it makes it easy for you to mow.
Rainwater collection and irrigation uses nature’s precipitation to water your lawn. This option might not be available in every area since semi-reliable rainfall is needed, though the barrels for this system can range from 15 gallons to 10,000 gallons or more.
Even though having a lawn irrigation system to water your lawn is efficient, you do not want to run it daily. It’s best to run your system two to three times a week. The length of time to run your system varies on factors like wind, temperature, and the variety of your grass, but 10 to 20 minutes each time is generally preferred. If you water too frequently, you’ll drown your grass and plants.
The cost of a lawn sprinkler system is $2,550 for the average homeowner. However, this price can range from $350 to $5,000 or more, depending on the type of sprinkler system you install, the size of your yard, and the type of sprinkler heads you choose. For example, rotating or oscillating sprinkler heads are more expensive than stationary ones, making the cost for one sprinkler head $2.50 to $30 each. Likewise, a yard that is 1/4 of an acre in size averages a total average price of $2,460; however, a one-acre yard averages a cost of $9,840.
The total time it takes to install a lawn irrigation system is roughly one to two days. This includes digging trenches for any necessary underground piping, placing the piping, wiring, sprinkler heads, and valves, and connecting your sprinkler system to your water supply. If you have a lawn larger than one acre, or if there are any municipality regulations that extend the project, you can expect the timeline to be closer to two days.
