Irrigation in Campo, CA.
Irrigation for Campo homes, done by experienced San Diego County landscapers. Most SD water waste happens underground, leaking valves, broken heads mowed over, cracked lateral lines. We diagnose the whole system, fix what is broken, and tune run times to current MWD restrictions.
Why is irrigation different in Mountain San Diego?
Mountain well-fed systems often need sediment filtration upstream of drip zones. We add filter + pressure regulator during any drip repair on well systems.

How does Campo's climate affect this service?
Campo sits at ~2,600 ft along the southeastern border with high-desert-transition climate, hot summers, freeze nights in winter, and extreme fire risk throughout. Rural border community with very large parcels, well-water and septic infrastructure, and native chaparral landscape. Fire-zone fuel management and native plantings lead the scope.. Mountain well-fed systems often need sediment filtration upstream of drip zones.
How do I know if my sprinkler system is leaking?
Three signs: a water bill that keeps climbing, a wet spot on the lawn that does not dry out between cycles, or lower pressure on one zone vs. the others. A valve-by-valve pressure test finds it fast. Hidden mainline leaks run 24/7 and can waste 50+ gallons per hour.
Are smart controllers worth the cost?
Yes for most SD homes. A Rachio 3 or Hunter Hydrawise costs $230-$300 installed, runs off the local ET (evapotranspiration) forecast, and skips watering when it rains. Typical payback is 8-14 months on SD water rates. They also keep you compliant with MWD watering-day limits automatically.
