Drip Irrigation Repair in North Dallas

Drip irrigation keeps Addison foundation beds and Quorum planters alive without soaking the sidewalk. When emitters clog or tubing is cut by edging, we repair the drip — we do not convert everything back to wasteful spray.

Addison foundation plantings and hotel beds often run drip under mulch. Grit from city water and fertilizer injectors clogs emitters. Landscape edging slices 1/2-inch tubing. The fix is flush, filter, and replace — not cranking the spray zone longer.

We separate drip from spray when they share a valve and fight each other. A pressure regulator and filter are cheap insurance on Mid-Cities north Dallas drip.

Commercial planters along Quorum get mapped so the next crew does not bury the manifold again.
