Now Is the Time for Fort Worth Lawn Sprinkler Co.

It’s spring! Warm weather has arrived, and that means your lawn is waking up. That also means it’s a good idea to get your sprinkler system ready before the mercury soars.

Fort Worth Lawn Sprinkler Co. has been ensuring Fort Worth’s sprinkler systems are in tip-top shape for 50 years. Founded in 1975, the company has the reputation of being Fort Worth’s finest. The technicians are the best in the business; they have years of experience with almost every type of system and product on the market.

“We put our guys through the wringer to make sure that they’re up to our standard of professionalism before we send them to your house,” Alan Garcia, president and owner of Fort Worth Lawn Sprinkler Co., said. Every technician is knowledgeable, courteous, and ready to make sure your system not only works but works efficiently, saving you water and money.

The company knows that to keep the best technicians, they have to treat their employees like family. And they do. Did you know Fort Worth Lawn Sprinkler Co. has never laid off an employee? It’s true! They keep their technicians on throughout the winter, unlike some companies that hire only seasonal help.

Until 2024, this loyalty to their employees was a mixed blessing for the company. While the service was the gold standard in town, getting an appointment was next to impossible, especially in the warm months. (And let’s face it, most months are warm in North Texas.)

From the mid-’80s to 2023, if you called in the summer, you would be told, “I’m sorry, but we can’t accept another service customer.” Because the company was focusing on existing customers, new customers could wait for 10 to 12 weeks before the first appointment. 

It was clear that the company needed to hire more technicians. So they did, and now wait times are normally just a week or two in the height of summer.

The goal of Fort Worth Sprinkler Co. is to make sure that you have a maintenance-free, water-efficient sprinkler system. With new wireless, app-based sprinkler controllers that can be accessed remotely, the company can troubleshoot your controller or the whole system from their office, possibly saving you a service call. 

And if there is a need for something that doesn’t exist, the company will make it. Alan modeled and 3D-printed a new type of waterer for flower pots. “For flowerpots, we had two options,” Alan said. “We had micro sprinkler heads that sprayed water everywhere, or we could use drip tubing that could clog and that was difficult to remove and reinstall when changing plants. Now we have these 3D-printed heads that lay flat to the soil that don’t spray everywhere and are easy to move when you need to change plants.”

And while sprinkler technology keeps evolving, Alan wants you to know that the company only uses products proven to last. “We try to build a system that will be as close to maintenance-free as possible.” 

While other sprinkler companies may focus on big irrigation projects, for Fort Worth Lawn Sprinkler Co., no job is too big and no job is too small. When I moved into a new house, the sprinkler system didn’t work. The previous owners had not left any information about the system, so I called Fort Worth Lawn Sprinkler Co. It turns out one solenoid had failed. The technician happily replaced it, and I used the system without problems until I moved again. 

Remember what I said at the beginning? That this is the time to make sure your system is working smoothly? Alan agrees. “There’s not a better time to make sure that your system is up to date. Don’t wait until early June. Don’t wait until you have a brown spot on your lawn that might not go away until it cools down in October or November. Beat the spring rush.”

Fifty years is a long time for a service company to be in business. It’s even longer to keep a reputation for quality service, but Fort Worth Sprinkler Co. has managed to do just that.
