City-pressure sprays on a well mist. Size for the run. Keep duff out of the screens.
Sprinkler Zone Repair in Pinehurst is a local job: the grass, the clay, and the houses on those streets decide the repair. Pinehurst acreage is pine, sand, and a well. A Spring HOA spray body will mist at the last head. We size for the run, flush grit, and keep duff out of the screens.

Sprinkler Zone Repair in Pinehurst
A failed Spring sprinkler zone is a rectangle of crunchy grass with a green neighbor. We treat it as a circuit: valve, wire, pipe, heads, and pressure — not a lucky head swap.
When one zone dies, the rest of the system is a control group. That is useful. We run the good zones, then the bad one, and the difference tells us whether we are looking at a valve, a cut common, a lateral break, or a controller station.
Gleannloch and Imperial Oaks lots often have too many heads on one valve. The last three heads mist. People add a pump in their head. The real fix is a split zone or smaller nozzles, not a longer run time that floods the first head.
We will split a overloaded zone when the pipe layout allows it. That is a design conversation, priced as such.
Grass, soil, and housing on this side of town
Grass. St. Augustine, acreage Bermuda under pines St. Augustine wants a deep soak. Bermuda forgives a miss for a day. Mixing them on one valve is how one strip stays swampy and the other crunches.
Soil. sandy pine-belt loam west of Tomball / Magnolia Spring-area clay breaks shallow pipe and keeps valve boxes wet. We pack repairs so the next dry-then-wet cycle does not pull the fitting apart.
Housing. acreage tracts, older pine lots, wells Typical irrigation failures here: long laterals, well grit, pine duff, low pressure
City-pressure sprays on a well mist. Size for the run. Keep duff out of the screens.

Questions we get on this job
Why is only the back yard dead?
It is almost always one zone — one valve, one lateral. We start there.
Can you add a zone?
Yes, if the main and controller have capacity. That is installation, not a ten-minute repair.
Is a dry zone ever the grass?
Chinch bugs mimic irrigation failure on St. Augustine. We will tell you if the system is actually watering.

- A stuck valve watering the street at 2 a.m. — The box is full. The rubber inside the valve is shredded. Rebuild it. Do not add six minutes to the clock.
- The Woodlands: sun and shade on the same station — A pine lot is not a Gleannloch parkway. One valve watering both drowns the shade and starves the sun.
- Splendora rural laterals and a growing 59 edge — Original pipe on acreage and a new 59 pocket are two systems. We say which one you actually have.
- Emergency geyser on an I-45 feeder — Shut the two valves on the backflow. Then call. A fountain in the parkway is not a wait-until-Monday job.
- Creekside Park pine duff is why the screens clog — Low pressure that is actually packed screens. Flush before you buy a pump.
