Give your lawn, trees, shrubs and xeriscape the water they need—without leaving irrigation problems to damage the landscape or drive unnecessary water use.

LaBarge Landscape installs new sprinkler, drip and combination irrigation systems, expands existing systems, adjusts irrigation timing and repairs residential systems throughout greater Albuquerque.

We service existing irrigation systems even when another contractor performed the original installation.

Water on the Sidewalk Is Not Helping Your Yard

An irrigation system may still turn on every morning and perform poorly.

A damaged or misplaced head may spray the driveway.

A leaking line may keep one area constantly wet.

A clogged emitter may leave a shrub dry.

A timer may continue using the same schedule in April, July and October.

And one malfunctioning zone may remain unnoticed until the landscape turns brown or the water bill changes.

LaBarge Landscape can inspect the system, identify the visible problem and recommend repair, adjustment, expansion or replacement based on the condition of the property.

Complete Residential Irrigation Installation and Service

New Sprinkler-System Installation

Install an automatic sprinkler system for a new lawn, complete yard renovation or property that does not currently have adequate irrigation.

The system should be planned around:

Turf areas
Planting beds
Trees and shrubs
Available water pressure
Property shape
Sun and exposure
Landscape grade
Patios and pathways
Existing utilities and hardscapes
Local watering requirements

LaBarge installs new residential sprinkler systems and provides free project estimates.

Drip-Irrigation Installation

Deliver water directly to selected trees, shrubs and planted areas with drip irrigation.

Drip systems are especially relevant for:

Xeriscapes
Foundation planting
Raised beds
Trees
Shrubs
Courtyards
Narrow planting areas
Properties transitioning away from spray-irrigated turf

LaBarge installs new drip systems as well as combination sprinkler-and-drip systems. (La Barge Landscaping)

Combination Irrigation Systems

Use different watering methods for different parts of the yard.

A property may need conventional sprinkler coverage for natural turf and drip irrigation for trees, shrubs and xeriscaped beds.

LaBarge specifically lists combination systems among its residential installation options.

Irrigation-System Additions

Expand an existing system when the landscape changes.

New irrigation coverage may be needed when homeowners add:

Sod
Planting beds
Trees
Shrubs
A garden
A landscape addition
A remodeled front or backyard

LaBarge installs new systems and additions to existing residential irrigation.

Sprinkler-System Repair

Repair residential irrigation systems that no longer operate or water as intended.

Potential concerns may involve heads, emitters, valves, lines, zones, controllers or other components. The exact repair depends on the results of the on-site inspection.

Irrigation Timing and Controller Adjustment

Adjust watering times and schedules to better reflect the plants, season and applicable local watering rules.

LaBarge lists irrigation-system timing as a core residential service.

Irrigation-System Maintenance

Maintain an existing system and address visible wear, misalignment or performance concerns before they affect larger portions of the landscape.

Irrigation for Xeriscape Conversions

Modify spray-irrigated lawn areas as part of a transition to xeriscaping.

ABCWUA’s current turf-conversion rebate rules require spray irrigation in an approved conversion area to be replaced with drip, bubbler or hand watering

We Service Irrigation Systems Installed by Other Companies

You do not need to know who originally installed your system. LaBarge Landscape services existing residential sprinkler and drip systems, regardless of the installer.

This is ideal if you recently purchased the home, inherited an unfamiliar system or have a system that has been modified over time.

Our team will assess what is working, identify any problems and recommend whether repair or replacement is the most practical solution.

Plan Irrigation Before the Yard Is Finished

Planning irrigation before patios, pathways, walls, and plants are installed makes it easier to create a system that supports the complete landscape.

LaBarge installs drip irrigation for trees, shrubs, garden areas, and xeriscapes. We can also modify existing systems when converting turf into a water-efficient landscape.
