Turf swallows a pop-up. We raise the body to grade so it can throw.
Sprinkler Head Repair in Highlands is a local job: the grass, the clay, and the houses on those streets decide the repair. Highlands is downstream of Crosby. Humidity and older valves, not a master-planned parkway.
South on the way toward Baytown. In-town streets. Nearby landmarks: Highlands.
Sprinkler Head Repair in Highlands
Crosby heads fill with silt and get swallowed by St. Augustine under live oaks. A buried head is not a pressure problem until we dig it up and prove it.
After high water, screens clog with silt that looks like a bad pump. We pull the head, flush until the water runs clear, and raise the body so the next mowing does not take the stem.
Newport parkways and older Crosby lots need different nozzles. Shade under live oaks does not want the same precipitation as the open front. We do not leave them on one happy medium.
Grass, soil, and housing on this side of town
Grass. St. Augustine 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. Coastal-prairie clay toward the ship channel Crosby’s high water table hides leaks and fills valve boxes. We use the meter before we dig a hole that fills itself.
Housing. Highlands in-town Typical irrigation failures here: humidity, older valves, wet boxes, runoff to the ditch

How a visit works
- Walk the yard We run every zone in Crosby. A dry strip, a mist, and a head that never comes up are three different repairs.
- Find the fault Heads, valves, underground pipe, and the low-voltage wire. Crosby gumbo stays wet. A soft yard is not a broken pipe until the meter says so.
- Repair We replace the part that failed. Spray heads stay with spray heads. Rotors stay with rotors.
- Set the timer Night watering, rest between cycles, rain sensor on. Noon misting is not a program.

- Atascocita edges toward Crosby — Southeast Atascocita is a lake-terrace yard. We do not treat it like a west-side parkway.
