New campus houses already have dry corners. Adjustment is cheap. Waiting until the St. Augustine dies is not.
Rotor & Spray Adjustment in Springwoods Village is a local job: the grass, the clay, and the houses on those streets decide the repair. Springwoods Village is Spring’s corporate campus neighborhood. New houses still have builder nozzles. Campus rotors are a commercial clock. We punch-list the house system and we quote the office lawn as commercial — not one invoice for both.

Rotor & Spray Adjustment in Springwoods Village
Adjustment is the cheapest irrigation repair in Spring and the one nobody does. We raise buried heads, set arcs off the glass, and match throw so the corners go green without watering Beltway 8.
A rotor that was set to 180 in 2014 is now a 90 because a kid twisted the turret. A spray that was a 15-foot 90 is now a 12-foot because St. Augustine climbed the can. We cut the grass out of the body, raise the head, and set the arc.
Pressure makes mist. Mist blows onto the neighbor and never reaches the soil. A regulator or a larger nozzle fixes that. Longer run times do not.
This visit often turns into two head replacements. We price those before we install them.
Grass, soil, and housing on this side of town
Grass. St. Augustine, office-campus turf, HOA parkways 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. reworked campus soils; new irrigation next to Exxon campus 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. 2010s campus-adjacent housing and corporate lawns, 77389 / 77373 Typical irrigation failures here: new-construction punch lists, commercial rotors on campus, HOA clocks, mixed sun

Questions we get on this job
Can I adjust heads myself?
Yes, until the stem is sanded stuck. Then call.
Why do I still have dry corners after adjusting?
The original layout never covered them. That is a head-add, not a twist.
Will this cut my water bill?
If you were watering the street, yes.

- Montgomery: wind across open water — Lake wind moves the pattern onto the neighbor’s dock. Night watering and a tighter arc beat a longer run time.
- St. Augustine in 77373 wants a soak, not a mist — Daily six-minute sprays waste water and still leave brown corners. Night watering with rest between cycles.
- Kleinwood heads disappeared into the St. Augustine — Forty years of thatch swallowed the pop-ups. Raise them or keep buying stems the mower takes off.
- Pinehurst two-acre wells are not HOA sprays — City-pressure sprays on a well mist. Size for the run. Keep duff out of the screens.
- 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.
