Sprinkler Repair in the M Streets

The M Streets, also called Greenland Hills, are known for their 1920s and 1930s cottages and small, close-together lots. Small yards need precise sprinkler systems, or most of the water ends up on the sidewalk, the house or the neighbor.

Small yards, close neighbors

With a short front yard, a parkway and a narrow side yard, there is little room for error. A standard spray head set the wrong way hits the brick, the windows, the car in the drive or the house next door. We use smaller-radius nozzles, adjustable arcs and pressure-regulating heads so water lands on the grass and beds only.

Parkway strips

The parkway strip between the sidewalk and the street is narrow and gets constant wear from parked cars and foot traffic. Heads here break often. We set them low, use sturdy heads, and aim them so the street stays dry. Watering the street wastes water and can bring a notice from the city.

Beds, borders and drip

Many M Streets yards have more beds than lawn. Spray heads in small beds waste water on leaves and walls. Drip is often the better fit and keeps old brick and stucco from staining.

Remodels and second stories

Additions, second stories and new back porches are common. Construction tends to damage heads near the foundation and lines in the side yard. We find and repair the damage and rework coverage for the new layout.

Dallas watering rules

The M Streets area is inside the City of Dallas, so Dallas rules apply. Sprinklers can run no more than twice a week: Sunday and Thursday for even-numbered addresses, Wednesday and Saturday for odd. Nothing on Monday, Tuesday or Friday. And no sprinkler watering from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on any day of the year; Dallas made that daytime ban year-round in 2026. Hand watering, soaker hoses and drip are allowed any day and any time. Read the City of Dallas ordinance summary.

Questions people ask us

My heads spray the house. Can you fix that?

Yes. Usually it is the wrong nozzle or a turned head. We adjust or replace them so the spray stays on the yard.

Is my yard too small for a sprinkler system?

No. Small yards just need the right parts. A couple of well-designed zones, plus drip for beds, works well.

Can you add drip to my existing system?

Yes. A bed-only zone can usually be converted to drip without new trenching.
