Working in Carson City
What's different here
The city has old established neighborhoods with mature trees and tired irrigation, and newer development on the edges with bare lots and blank slates. Those need close to opposite approaches — one is renovation and repair, the other is starting from grade.
We do both. A lot of our Carson City work is replacing irrigation that's been patched for twenty years, or taking a west-facing lawn that never survives August and turning most of it into something that does.
See our work-
Aging irrigation
Older neighborhoods have systems installed decades ago and repaired piecemeal since. Often the honest advice is to replace a zone rather than chase another leak.
-
Mature trees, thirsty lawns
Established canopy means shade, root competition and turf that struggles underneath. Frequently the right answer is converting those areas to planting rather than fighting for grass.
-
West-facing exposure
Afternoon sun against the Sierra side of town is punishing. Plant selection and irrigation zoning matter more on those lots than anywhere else in the area.

Common questions
Carson City questions
Do you travel to Carson City for small jobs?
For irrigation repairs and maintenance, yes — we're up there regularly. For a very small one-off we may suggest bundling it with other work to keep it worthwhile for both of us.
Can you replace an old irrigation system?
Yes. On a system that's been patched repeatedly, replacing a zone properly usually costs less over a couple of seasons than continuing to repair it.
Do you do weekly lawn maintenance here?
Yes, we run Carson City routes. Same crew and the same day each week.
