Local insight: Colorado River historic town requires cedar fence replacement and deep root tree watering systems for pecan groves.
The river bottomland here supports the pecan groves and large shade trees that the town is known for, and those trees need water delivered where it counts. We install deep-root watering systems and drip loops sized to the canopy that get moisture down to the feeder roots of pecans and mature shade trees, which is especially important through drought and for the productivity of a working pecan grove.
The soil is the sandy loam and river-influenced ground of the Colorado bottomlands, draining faster than the clay to the north but still needing drainage attention in low spots near the river. We grade and install French drains where water collects, and design irrigation on shorter cycles suited to the sandier soil so water reaches roots before it drains away.
For lawns and beds, we condition the soil, install drought-tolerant sod, and plant hardy natives suited to the setting. About fifty-four miles from our shop, Smithville is within our service area for cedar fence replacement, deep-root tree watering, drainage, and backflow testing.
