Rachio Installation
in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Better Earth Solutions handles Rachio 3 installation across the DFW Metroplex. Upgrade your sprinkler controller and save up to 50% on water — with full WiFi control from anywhere.
Why Go Smart?
Traditional timers water on a fixed schedule regardless of weather. Smart controllers adapt to real conditions, saving water and money.
Up to 50% Water Savings
Smart controllers adjust watering based on real-time weather, soil type, and plant needs — eliminating waste automatically.
Control From Anywhere
Start, stop, or adjust your sprinklers from your phone whether you're at home, at work, or on vacation.
Weather Intelligence
Automatically skips watering when rain is forecast, during freezes, or when conditions don't call for it.
Healthier Lawn
Precise watering means no more overwatered or underwatered zones — just the right amount for a thriving landscape.
The Brands We Install
Two industry-leading smart controllers, installed and configured by a licensed professional.
Rachio 3 Pro
The most popular residential smart sprinkler controller on the market. We've completed hundreds of Rachio 3 installations across North Texas — it's our top recommendation for DFW homeowners.
Hunter Hydrawise
Commercial-grade reliability with smart features. A solid choice for larger properties, commercial applications, or customers already in the Hunter ecosystem. The app isn't as polished as Rachio's, but the hardware is built to last and supports up to 36 zones.

Swapping a controller is one of the few irrigation jobs a careful homeowner can handle, and we wrote up exactly how: our guide to replacing an irrigation controller without losing your zones covers labeling wires, the common terminal, and what to photograph before you disconnect anything. Once the new unit is on the wall, the controller programming guide walks through run times and start times that actually fit DFW clay soil.
Already have a smart controller that's acting up? The Rachio, Hunter & Rain Bird troubleshooting guide covers the failure modes we see most, and if it's a Rachio specifically, our Rachio repair service sorts real failures from wiring and power problems. And if you're still deciding whether an upgrade is worth it, start with what a smart controller actually does before you spend anything.
