Your local sprinkler & irrigation team in Cary
Cary is home base for us — our shop sits on Canon Gate Drive, and more of our work happens here than anywhere else in the Triangle. That means when a zone dies in Lochmere or a backyard in Preston will not drain, we are usually minutes away, and we already know the water rules, the soil, and half the irrigation systems in town because we have worked on the neighbors’.
This page collects everything we do in Cary in one place — every repair, install, and drainage service, plus the local water facts that shape how systems here should run.

What Cary homeowners deal with
Water in Cary comes with its own playbook, and it shapes how every system in town should run.
What to know about water in Cary
Cary runs one of the more distinctive water setups in North Carolina: it was the first municipality in the state to deliver reclaimed water to homes, back in 2001, and the purple-pipe districts near the North and South Cary Water Reclamation Facilities still irrigate on it today. Reclaimed users are exempt from the town’s alternate-day watering schedule; potable systems follow it year-round, with a 45-day exemption for new turf.
On the compliance side, every irrigation system in Cary needs a backflow preventer, tested on a three-year residential cycle — annually if you have a booster pump or chemical feed — and an RPZ goes in on replacement. We handle the testing, the fix, and the paperwork.
Common calls we get in Cary
- A zone that quit in an established yard. Mature neighborhoods mean mature systems — decades-old poly lines, shifted heads, and valves at the end of their life.
- Reclaimed-water nozzles clogging. Purple-pipe systems clog nozzles faster than potable ones; we clean, re-nozzle, and keep the lines properly separated.
- Backflow due for its three-year test. We test, repair if it fails, and file so your account stays clear.
- A soggy side yard that never dries. Cary clay plus tight lot grading sends water where it should not go — French drain territory.
Cary neighborhoods we serve
A lot of our Cary work happens in Preston, MacGregor Downs, and Lochmere, where mature landscaping hides aging lines, and in newer west Cary communities toward Green Level where builder systems need their first real tune-ups. Wherever you are in town, you are close to us.

Cary sprinkler & irrigation FAQ
Do you know Cary’s alternate-day watering schedule?
Yes — we program every controller we touch to the town’s schedule, and reclaimed and well users are exempt, which we account for.
Can you service reclaimed-water (purple pipe) systems?
Absolutely. We work on reclaimed systems regularly — they need more frequent nozzle cleaning and strict line separation, and we handle both.

Every three years for most homes, annually if you have a booster pump or chemical feed. We test and file the results.
