Sprinklers & Irrigation for Bedford Homes
A large share of Bedford homes have in-ground sprinkler systems installed years ago, and many show their age: broken or tilted heads, zones that spray the sidewalk, leaking valves and controllers no one has reset in years. Repairs and a tune-up often fix most problems. Where pipes are brittle or the layout no longer fits the yard after new patios and beds, a new system may make more sense.
Watering rules matter here. Bedford follows a Drought Contingency Plan with stages set by the city and the Tarrant Regional Water District. Under Stage 1, sprinkler watering is limited to twice per week and not from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and later stages tighten limits further. Leaks such as broken sprinkler heads must be repaired. Check the city for the current drought stage before setting a schedule.
Clay soil takes in water slowly, so long run times cause runoff. City irrigation tips call for watering from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. in short 5 to 10 minute cycles, aiming heads at grass instead of pavement, using drip for beds and adding a rain or soil moisture sensor. Smart controllers can handle much of this. Homeowners may also qualify for a TRWD Save Tarrant Water sprinkler evaluation, and Water is Awesome posts weekly watering advice for the region. Call to have your system checked.
