How much does sprinkler repair cost in DFW?

Most sprinkler repairs in Dallas-Fort Worth cost between $150 and $450 depending on the issue. Simple head replacements are on the lower end, while underground pipe repairs or valve replacements run higher. We give you an honest estimate before starting any work.

Do I need a licensed irrigator to repair my sprinkler system in Texas?

Yes. Texas law requires a TCEQ Licensed Irrigator to install, maintain, alter, repair, or service an irrigation system. Brandon Surratt holds TCEQ License LI0023963 and is also an EPA WaterSense Certified Irrigation Auditor through Texas A&M AgriLife.

What cities do you serve in the DFW area?

We serve 15+ cities within a 30-mile radius of Garland, TX, including Plano, Richardson, Wylie, Murphy, Allen, Frisco, Rowlett, Dallas, Rockwall, Heath, Lucas, Lake Highlands, Casa View, Preston Hollow, and Willow Bend.

How quickly can you come out for a sprinkler repair?

Most appointments are scheduled within 1-3 business days. Same-day service is sometimes available for an additional charge. Call us as early as possible to check availability — emergency leaks get priority.

What is an irrigation audit and do I need one?

An irrigation audit is a data-driven evaluation of your sprinkler system using the Irrigation Association catch-can method to measure distribution uniformity and precipitation rate. Residential audits are optional but recommended for water savings. Commercial properties in Allen, TX are required by city ordinance to have one every three years.

Do you warranty your sprinkler repairs?

Yes. Every repair comes with a 3-year warranty on parts and labor. If anything we fixed fails within that period, we come back and make it right at no extra charge.

Full-Service Irrigation & Sprinkler Repair in DFW

Whether it's a single broken head or a system that hasn't worked right in years, we handle it all — from valve repair and replacement to sprinkler head swaps, electrical and wiring troubleshooting, and buried valve locating when nobody knows where your valves are.

We install drip irrigation systems for flower beds, trees, and gardens — they use 20 to 50% less water than traditional spray heads. Foundation drip systems protect your home's slab from the expansive clay soil across North Texas. Need a rain sensor repaired or a full smart controller upgrade? We're a certified Rachio Pro installer and handle Hunter Hydrawise setups too.

For commercial properties, our commercial irrigation services cover everything from multi-zone office parks to HOA common areas. Irrigation audits are mandatory every three years for non-residential properties in Allen — and recommended everywhere else if you want to cut your water bill. We also handle drainage problems including French drains, dry wells, and surface drain installations.

We serve Plano, Richardson, Garland, Frisco, Wylie, Murphy, Allen, Rockwall, and 10+ other cities across DFW. Every job is done by a TCEQ licensed irrigator — not a subcontractor, not a handyman. Browse all services or book online to get on the schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

From the Owner

Hi, I'm Brandon

I started Better Earth because I believe every yard deserves someone who actually cares about getting it right — not just getting it done. A broken sprinkler head, a valve you can't find, a yard that floods every time it rains — these are puzzles, and I genuinely enjoy figuring them out.
We're not a big corporate outfit. We're a small, local team based in Garland that shows up, listens, and treats every system like it's our own. If something's not working, let's figure it out together.
Every job is flat rate. You get the exact price before I start anything — no watching the clock, no surprises on the invoice.
One thing I hear all the time is “I had no idea my system was wasting that much water.” Most DFW homeowners are overpaying by 30–45% without realizing it. That's why we built a water savings calculator — plug in your lawn size, tell us what kind of system you have, and see what a smart upgrade could actually save you.
And if you're curious about what grows best in North Texas, we put together a plant and grass guide that covers the grasses, native perennials, and seasonal rhythms that actually work out here. Knowing your yard is the first step to watering it right.
That's why we call ourselves Water Stewards. Every system we touch, we're thinking about how to get your lawn what it needs without wasting a drop. It's not just good business — it's the right thing to do for North Texas. We follow the water conservation guidelines set by the North Texas Municipal Water District.
