Turf is the thirstiest thing in your yard. Replace it with a designed xeriscape on drip and the savings start on the next bill — and compound every summer as watering rules tighten. High-efficiency conversion rebates are often available; we'll point you to current programs when you qualify.
Xeriscape lives or dies by its irrigation. As Albuquerque's sprinkler specialists, we build the drip backbone first and design the landscape on top of it — the reverse of how most landscapers work, and the reason our conversions thrive. Part of our full landscaping services.

"I searched for a company to install my drip system for over 20 trees and plants and finally found the Sprinkler Experts. They did an excellent job — and I'm thrilled to control the system from my phone!"
"Mike gave us an estimate for a new drip system, explained exactly what to expect, and afterward went over how to operate it. A great communicator who knew his stuff."
"Highly recommend. Great service and very reasonably priced. I scheduled online the day before; Mike arrived on time, was knowledgeable, and made sure everything worked perfectly."
It depends on yard size and how much hardscape and planting you want — we quote in writing after a free on-site design consultation, and phased conversions are common. The drip irrigation backbone is a fraction of a full sprinkler system.
Yes — turf is the thirstiest part of any yard. Converting to drip-fed, drought-tolerant landscaping shows up on the very next bill, and rebate programs for high-efficiency conversions are often available.
Not the way we design it. Layered plantings, color through the seasons, boulders and structure — a designed landscape, not a gravel lot.
Absolutely — hybrid designs that keep a functional patch of turf for kids or pets and convert the rest are one of our most popular projects.
