Professional Irrigation Maintenance in Tucson

In Tucson’s arid climate, where we receive less than 12 inches of rainfall annually, a properly functioning irrigation system isn’t just convenient – it’s essential for maintaining a healthy, vibrant landscape while conserving our precious water resources. Whether you have drip irrigation for native plants or sprinkler systems for turf areas, regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and water efficiency.

At Joe’s Yard, Tree + Irrigation, we specialize in maintaining, repairing, and optimizing all types of irrigation systems for the unique challenges of the Sonoran Desert. From fixing simple drip line leaks to completely redesigning inefficient systems, our certified irrigation technicians understand how to keep your landscape properly hydrated while minimizing water waste and reducing your utility bills.

Regular irrigation maintenance is crucial in Southern Arizona’s harsh environment. Our extreme temperature swings, from freezing winter nights to 115-degree summer days, take a toll on irrigation components. Mineral buildup from our hard water clogs emitters and valves, while UV exposure degrades tubing and fittings. Without proper maintenance, these issues lead to water waste, plant stress, and costly emergency repairs.

Mineral Buildup and Clogging: Tucson’s hard water, with high calcium and mineral content, frequently clogs drip emitters and micro-sprayers. Our technicians use specialized cleaning solutions and techniques to restore proper flow without damaging components. We also install filters and flush valves to minimize future buildup.

UV Degradation: Intense Arizona sun breaks down plastic and rubber components rapidly. We identify and replace UV-damaged parts before they fail, and recommend UV-resistant materials for longer life. Strategic placement and protective covers can extend component lifespan significantly.

Pressure Problems: Tucson’s varying water pressure, from different elevations and municipal supply changes, affects irrigation performance. We install pressure regulators, adjust valve settings, and modify system design to ensure consistent, appropriate pressure throughout your property.

Controller Malfunctions: Power surges from monsoon storms frequently damage irrigation controllers. We repair or replace damaged units, install surge protectors, and recommend battery backup systems to maintain programming during power outages.
