Smart Controller Upgrades

Smart Controller Upgrades

Wi-Fi enabled irrigation control that responds to Sacramento's weather patterns.

Modern smart controllers automatically adjust watering based on Sacramento's microclimates - from the Delta breezes in Pocket to the intense heat in Arden-Arcade. We replace outdated timers with weather-responsive systems that sync with local evapotranspiration data.

Our preferred controllers integrate with Sacramento Municipal Utility District's Water Insight program, qualifying you for rebates. For vacation homes in Granite Bay or Folsom Lake properties, remote control lets you manage irrigation from anywhere. We program zone-specific adjustments recognizing that a shaded Midtown yard needs different watering than a sun-baked Roseville slope.
