Sprinkler & Irrigation Services in Highlands Ranch, CO
All services available throughout Highlands Ranch and surrounding Douglas County communities.
Sprinkler Repair
Highlands Ranch was developed in phases from the 1980s through the 2000s — meaning your system's age, brand, and wiring type vary significantly by neighborhood. Trent identifies Rainbird, Hunter, and Toro systems across Backcountry, Firelight, Westridge, and beyond, fixing the actual fault without upselling unnecessary parts.
Leak Detection & Repair
Highlands Ranch's large, well-landscaped lots mean a slow mainline leak can go unnoticed for months — until the South Suburban Water bill spikes. Trent uses pressure testing to find the break precisely, protecting your turf and avoiding excavation guesswork.
Smart Controller Setup
Highlands Ranch Water is under Stage 1 Drought (Severe Drought as of Oct. 8, 2026 — reservoirs at 44%): 2 days/week watering only, with drought pricing for over-budget use. A Rachio smart controller auto-schedules to your assigned days, skips rain, and keeps you within your water budget — avoiding surcharges and HRCA violations. Rebates available.
Spring Start-Up
Highlands Ranch homeowners often share backflow preventers and manifolds with adjacent HOA common-area systems. Trent activates residential systems carefully, testing each zone for pressure, coverage, and head alignment — then flags any issues with HOA-managed laterals before they become your problem.
Winterization Blowout
At Highlands Ranch's elevation, the first hard freeze typically arrives in early October — well before most homeowners expect it. Trent schedules blowouts to match the forecast, clearing every zone, valve, and backflow before the temperature drops and pipes crack.
Landscaping
Highlands Ranch's expansive bluegrass and fescue lawns need consistent, expert care to meet HRCA landscape standards. Irrivive's programs — core aeration timed to break Highlands Ranch's clay hardpan, overseeding for thick fall coverage, weed control, and seasonal fertilizer — keep your lawn looking like the neighborhood's best.

Lawn Aeration in Highlands Ranch, CO
Highlands Ranch's expansive bluegrass lawns sit on heavy clay that compacts over years of mowing and foot traffic, and the HRCA expects a tidy, healthy lawn. Core aeration relieves that compaction so water penetrates instead of running off — which also helps you stay within your water budget and avoid drought surcharges.
Why Aerate
- Relieves compacted clay soil so roots can breathe
- Breaks up thatch that blocks water and nutrients
- Reduces runoff so watering actually reaches the roots
- Encourages deeper roots for a more drought-tolerant lawn
When to Aerate in Colorado
Fall (September–October): the best window for cool-season lawns in the Denver metro — grass is actively growing and recovers before winter.
Spring (March–May): a solid second option, especially when paired with overseeding.
Pricing Factors
Aeration is priced by lawn size, and bundling aeration with overseeding or fertilizer lowers the per-service cost versus booking each separately. See aeration starting prices — then call for a quote specific to your Highlands Ranch yard.
