Cinco Ranch, Firethorne, Cane Island, and the older Katy proper grid do not fail the same way. Master-planned HOAs want even color and no sidewalk stain. Older Katy lots have 1990s Rain Bird that was never matched-precipitation. We start with grade and pressure, not a nozzle pack.
West of Katy Fort Bend ISD campuses you are often on a MUD with its own drought stage. East toward Energy Corridor you may still be Houston Water. We check the bill. Clay heave here is violent — we reset heads on swing joints so the next dry August does not snap the riser. Large lots need rotors with matched rates; mixing sprays and rotors on one zone is the #1 reason Cinco Ranch backyards look striped.
Katy communities on our route
Cinco Ranch, Firethorne, Cane Island, Cross Creek Ranch (overflow), Katy proper, Nottingham Country, and the I-10 / Grand Parkway grid. No surcharge inside those.
What we fix in Katy that generic techs miss
- Builder mixed spray/rotor zones — we re-nozzle or split the zone.
- HOA letters about sidewalk overspray — radius and arc, not a lecture.
- Clay-tilted heads that “still pop up” but water the thatch.
- Controllers never set for Fort Bend odd/even days after a Stage 2 notice.
Services we run in this city
- Sprinkler head repair
- Zone valve repair
- Underground leak detection

Questions we get here
Do you cover Cinco Ranch and Firethorne the same day?
Those are daily west-side stops. Call before noon for same-day when we have a truck in the 77494 / 77450 grid.
Why is half my yard a swamp after rain and half dead?
Clay plus mixed nozzles. We audit precipitation with catch cups and re-match the zone instead of adding more heads to the wet side.
Harris or Fort Bend watering rules?
Depends on the meter. We look it up from your address before programming. Katy straddles both.
