Whether you’re tired of dragging hoses around or watching your plants and trees struggle through Oklahoma’s long, hot, and dry summers, professional irrigation system installation can make your life easier. Custom irrigation systems not only allow you to stop manually watering your lawn, plants, and trees but also allow you to deliver the precise amount of water needed, exactly where it is most beneficial. The end result is more consistent coverage, healthier plants, and better long-term water efficiency.
No matter what kinds of plants and trees make up your landscape, it’s vital that they receive enough water to remain healthy and thrive. Many of the most popular landscaping plants require supplemental water to thrive in our periodic dry spells. Even drought-tolerant selections can struggle after installation or during especially severe droughts.
You can try to keep your property looking lush by manually providing water, but this requires a lot of your time and labor. And even forgetting to water some grasses and plants for a single day can cause them to start wilting. That’s why more and more homeowners in Oklahoma City are having Elion Landscaping & Tree Service install a custom irrigation system, so they can enjoy the peace of mind that comes from automated, hands-off water delivery.
Irrigation systems are certainly becoming more common in the Oklahoma City area, and this rising popularity can be attributed, in part, to the following benefits:
An irrigation system provides even water across your entire lawn, eliminating both dry spots and overwatered areas.
Proper watering encourages stronger root system development, promotes faster growth, and supports plant health during droughts.
When properly installed, irrigation systems reduce waste by delivering the right amount of water exactly where it’s needed.
When connected to smart controllers, irrigation systems operate automatically, freeing up your time and simplifying your lawn care routine.
Efficient systems help reduce unnecessary water usage, which can lead to noticeable savings on your monthly water bills.
A properly watered landscape stays greener, fuller, and more visually appealing, making your home more attractive to prospective buyers.
Plants and trees often have different water requirements, and expert irrigation system design makes it easy to meet the needs of every landscape component.
Controlled water delivery minimizes runoff, which helps protect your landscape as well as our local rivers, lakes, and wetlands.
While some homeowners and property managers try to install irrigation systems on their own, most find that the process is far more complex than they’d initially believed. Simply digging the necessary trenches requires a lot of labor — especially when carried out manually using shovels and hand tools. But connecting the entire system and calibrating it so that it performs correctly requires considerable experience and expertise to achieve. In fact, many of the irrigation systems we install are for homeowners who’d initially tried to complete the work themselves, only to find that they needed expert help. That’s exactly what you get when you rely on the Elion Landscaping & Tree Service team — professional results and a dependable irrigation system you can rely on.
We treat every irrigation system as a unique project. That’s the only way to deliver the kind of results homeowners and property managers across the Oklahoma City area deserve. With that said, the most popular services and options we offer include the following.
Every system we install starts with a custom design that perfectly suits your property’s layout, plant species, sun exposure, and soil conditions to ensure proper coverage.
We install complete sprinkler systems designed to deliver consistent moisture for your lawn while minimizing runoff and needlessly wasting water.

We can install or replace your system’s valves and manifolds (the “control center” of your irrigation system) to ensure each zone operates efficiently and reliably.
Backflow preventers protect your home’s drinking water supply by stopping contaminated irrigation water from flowing back into your plumbing system.
