Precision Watering for Texas Landscapes
Looking for drip irrigation installation in The Woodlands or Spring TX? Boone’s Landscaping designs and installs precision drip systems that deliver water directly to plant roots — achieving 90% efficiency compared to just 50-60% for traditional sprinklers. No evaporation, no runoff, no wasted water on sidewalks and driveways.
Texas summers are brutal on landscape beds. Sprinklers lose 30-50% of water to evaporation before it even reaches the soil. Drip irrigation eliminates this waste entirely by placing water exactly where plants need it — at the root zone. Slow, deep watering encourages stronger root systems that better survive drought and heat stress.
Drip is ideal for landscape beds, foundation plantings, trees, shrubs, vegetable gardens, and container plants. We can also convert existing sprinkler zones to drip while keeping lawn zones as traditional sprinklers. Contact us for a free design with water audit and savings estimate — many systems qualify for Texas water utility rebates.

Applications
Drip Irrigation Applications
Precision watering solutions for every landscape need.
Landscape Beds
Perennials, annuals, and ornamental plantings with adjustable emitters for varying water needs.
Trees & Shrubs
Deep-root bubblers and multi-outlet emitters for established trees and foundation plantings.
Vegetable Gardens
Row-by-row drip tubing with precise spacing for tomatoes, peppers, squash, and more.
Sprinkler Conversions
Transform water-wasting spray zones to efficient drip using existing valves and wiring.
How It Works
System Components
Commercial-grade components for reliable, long-lasting performance.
Drip Emitters
Pressure-compensating emitters deliver consistent flow regardless of elevation changes.
Drip Tubing
UV-resistant polyethylene tubing with inline emitters or blank for custom spacing.
Pressure Regulators
Reduce household pressure to optimal drip range (15-30 PSI) to prevent blowouts.
Filters
Screen or disc filters prevent clogging from sediment and debris in your water supply.
Bubblers
High-flow emitters for trees and large shrubs that need more water volume.
Manifolds
Multi-outlet fittings that distribute water to multiple plants from a single connection.
Smart Controllers
WiFi timers with weather adjustment for automated, efficient watering schedules.
Flush Valves
End-of-line caps that allow periodic flushing to clear sediment buildup.
Why Drip?
Benefits for Texas Landscapes
Why drip irrigation is ideal for our hot, dry climate with clay soils.
Beats Texas Heat
Sprinklers lose 30-50% to evaporation on hot, windy days. Drip delivers water below the surface where evaporation can’t reach, ensuring every drop counts during brutal Texas summers.
Perfect for Clay Soil
Texas clay absorbs water slowly. Sprinklers apply water faster than clay can absorb, causing runoff. Drip’s slow application rate gives clay soil time to absorb every drop.
Healthier Plants
Dry foliage means less fungal disease. Consistent root-zone moisture promotes deeper, stronger roots. Plants experience less stress and require less fertilizer.
Fewer Weeds
Sprinklers water everything — including weed seeds. Drip only waters your plants, leaving areas between plants dry and inhospitable to weeds.

Investment & Savings
Drip irrigation systems typically pay for themselves in 2-3 seasons through water bill savings. Most homeowners see 50-70% reduction in irrigation water usage — often $60-$120+ per month during peak summer.
Many Texas water utilities offer rebates for drip irrigation installation, smart controllers, and rain sensors. We’ll help you apply for available rebates to reduce your out-of-pocket cost.
Typical Investment Ranges
FAQ
Drip Irrigation — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about drip irrigation systems.
How much does drip irrigation cost in The Woodlands?
Drip irrigation costs in The Woodlands typically range from $300-$600 per zone installed. Most residential systems with 2-4 drip zones cost $1,200-$3,500 total. Cost per square foot is approximately $1.50-$2.50 depending on plant density and emitter spacing. Sprinkler-to-drip conversions cost $250-$500 per zone. We provide detailed quotes after evaluating your landscape.
How much water does drip irrigation save?
Drip irrigation saves 50-70% compared to traditional sprinklers. This is because water is delivered directly to plant roots with minimal evaporation, zero runoff, and no overspray onto hardscapes. In Texas summers, evaporation can waste 50% or more of sprinkler water before it reaches roots. Drip eliminates this waste entirely.
Can I convert my sprinklers to drip irrigation?
Yes! Sprinkler-to-drip conversion is one of our most popular services. We retrofit existing sprinkler valves with drip components, keeping your controller and main lines while replacing inefficient spray heads with precision drip emitters. Most conversions are completed in 1-2 hours per zone. This is ideal for landscape beds while keeping lawn zones as sprinklers.
How long do drip irrigation systems last?
Properly installed drip systems last 15-20 years for main components (valves, filters, mainlines). Drip tubing and emitters typically last 10-15 years before needing replacement. UV-resistant tubing lasts longer. Regular maintenance including filter cleaning and flushing extends system life. We offer maintenance plans to keep systems performing optimally.
What about winter freezing?
We install freeze-proof drains that automatically empty lines when temperatures drop. For extended freezes, we recommend winterizing by turning off water and opening flush valves. Drip systems are actually more freeze-resistant than sprinklers because they operate at lower pressure. We can include winterization in your annual maintenance plan.
Is drip irrigation good for lawns?
Drip is not ideal for lawns — it’s designed for beds, trees, shrubs, and gardens. Lawns need the broad coverage that sprinkler systems provide. The best approach is a hybrid system: keep lawn zones as rotary sprinklers while converting bed zones to drip. This gives you the benefits of both technologies.
