In an effort to conserve water and improve public safety the State of Texas along with your Local Municipalities have implemented changes to their irrigation ordinances for both commercial and residential properties. Consult your local department of building inspections for details on the rules and restrictions governing your area.
Water Is Our Most Valuable Resource. Unfortunately irrigation and drainage is often overlooked when installing your landscaping. On average, landscape water usage accounts for over 30% of your total usage. The Right Design and Equipment can Conserve Water and Save you Money. Call today and find out how we can help you save Up To 50% on your next water bill.
One of the easiest ways to conserve water and make your plants look their best is to add drip irrigation. Some of the reasons people shy away from drip is because they think that a soaker hose is the equivalent or that drip needs to be on top, or inside the mulch, making it difficult to hide. Those theories are both wrong. A soaker hose is not a substitute for a drip system nor is it efficient in it’s water delivery system.
We install drip line at 6″ in the ground. You want your water delivered at this height to encourage roots to grow deep into the sub surface. The emitters (holes) in the drip line are spaced according to the application, in 12″ -18″ increments. A soaker hose secretes water throughout it’s entire length making it’s water distribution uneven.
A correctly installed system requires the use of a filter and clean outs to insure that it does not get clogged, and that the water is not compromised by large particles. Drip systems have been used for years and are replacing traditional irrigation systems in the agriculture, greenhouses and nurseries sectors. Drip irrigation is not a system for the future, it’s for the here and now and will help to ensure that our children and their children will have the water that they need.
New legislature concerning irrigation is in effect 1/1/ 09. Some of the new standards include the mandatory use of evapotransporational controllers (smart Controllers), drip zones for sections of grass narrower then 4 feet and individual drip zones for flowers and foundations, to name a few.
Don’t trust your installation to just anyone. In Texas all irrigation repairs and installations are to be done by a Licensed professional. This is to protect the consumer from individuals who are not up to date on code compliance, water conservation methods and proper installation techniques.
I know a good deal can be hard to pass up but with fines staring at $500 in most cities, in the end that “Great Deal” can cost hundreds more when you factor in fines, water waste and repairs. Have your system installed by a licensed and reputable company.
If you’re like most people, you’ve seen the unsightly puddles around the yard and never gave it too much thought. You say to yourself, “I’ll deal with later”, or “it doesn’t rain that much here”. Then the ground dries, the soil cracks and you start to notice the cracks in the wall from the foundation moving.
Drainage correction is an inexpensive way to make sure that a small fix today doesn’t stop a major headache in the future.
Most drainage issues present themselves in water logged flower beds, bogged low spots in the lawn, water damage to garages, and downspouts that erode soil away from the house.
Each problem has a different remedy. We can use one or a combination of applications to pull the water away from your homes foundation and save you from unnecessary repairs in the future.
The most expensive option to rectify your drainage issues would be to re-grade the ground to correct the slope. This is also the most intrusive remedy, often leaving many visual signs of the past problem.
Caps also come in a variety of colors and metal finishes that can be used in almost all applications.

If you require paper estimates and invoices please notify us.
Pricing: Pricing for “One Time Only Mowing” is determined by the square footage of the property before improvements, and by any obstructions on the lawn that have to be moved, such as furniture. Yearly maintenance is determined by the total amount of all services divided into 12 monthly payments.
Contracts: Vary in length according to the type of project, and are simply and agreement between Dallas Curb Appeal and our clients to perform services and receive payment.

Calendars: Calendars are sent In January and are to be used as a reference throughout the year as to when and what type of services will be performed. Of course weather plays a big role in the scheduling process. For this reason dates are subject to change.
Pets: We truly love the furry guys. But unfortunately they can be some of the best escape artist around. The best way to avoid a bad situation is to keep them inside on maintenance day. In addition we do not offer a poop n scoop service. We ask that your lawn be poo free by maintenance day.
Gates: Gates must to be unlocked on maintenance day, allowing us access to all areas of the yard. We recommend using combo locks. In the event that the gate is closed, the service will not be performed in that area.
Weather Days: As much as I try I cannot convince mother nature to do what I want when I want. Every effort is made to stick to you schedule. In most cases the properties are done the very next day. With multiple rainy days you can expect to be delayed one day for every day of rain. If you have any questions please call 214-257-8155.
Alleys: Access to the alley is needed in order to insure those areas are code compliant. We recommend using combo locks so that you can’t forget to leave it open. Locks are available to you at any time. If we can not gain access from within the property, the service will not be done. Our goal is to give you affordable service, and unfortunately if it takes 3 men 5-10 minutes each to load up, drive around back and unload again the cost of your service would increase to cover the 15-30 minutes of extra time.
