Why does one sprinkler zone have low water pressure?
When one sprinkler zone has low water pressure, there's usually a leak in the zone's line, a leak at a nozzle or sprinkler head, or the backflow preventer valves are not entirely open. Fixing low water pressure may require increasing the main line size, lowering the sprinkler head operating pressure, increasing the backflow preventer's size, or adding a booster pump.

Sprinker heads won't pop up due to these problems:
The sprinkler head is broken.

The sprinkler head is clogged with dirt, sand, or debris.
There are leaks in the water line.
There's low water pressure.

Jose is very professional and has done a great thorough job with my backyard plant, tree, and shrub installations. He fix my yard drainage issue with a beautiful stone river around my deck. Jose also did a fantastic job filling the gulley with cement and installing a retaining curb.
His work and thoroughness is beyond reproach and affordable.

Portillo and the crew did our front yard recently.
they were very professional , came early and worked hard all day and finishing everyday by washing the driveway and putting everything in place. I am very happy with the job they did at my house, and it wasn't an easy project. Very honest and dependable people.
Thank you

Very professional, showed up when they said they would. Had several other companies that wouldn’t even take time to come meet me, and this company was quick to come out and send me over an estimate!

All we can say is Wow!!
They finished our 1200sq basement for almost 20k under other companies. Not sure how he did it. I guess other contractors are just making a killing. Very happy with the quality. Wouldn't call anybody else.
