Irrigation
Smart Water Management for the High-Altitude Climate.
Precision Hydration for Every Property
Water-Wise Systems Built for the White Mountains
Does your current watering routine consist of dragging hoses across the yard every evening? Keeping a landscape healthy in the high-country is a challenge, especially with our thin air and rapid evaporation rates. Professional irrigation in Show Low, Pinetop, and Lakeside, AZ from Mountains Best Landscape takes the guesswork out of yard care by delivering the exact amount of water your plants need, exactly when they need it.
Our team doesn’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach to watering. We design systems that account for the different needs of your lawn, flower beds, and deep-rooted trees. By using high-efficiency components and smart controllers, we help you maintain a lush environment without wasting a drop of our precious local water. Every install is focused on reliability, ensuring your greenery stays vibrant even during the driest summer months when the mountain sun is at its peak.

Custom Drip and Sprinkler Design
A poorly designed system can lead to massive water bills and dying plants due to uneven coverage. We specialize in installing advanced irrigation in Show Low, Pinetop, and Lakeside, AZ that utilizes both drip lines and precision sprinklers. Drip irrigation is the gold standard for our region, delivering water directly to the root zones of your shrubs and trees, which nearly eliminates evaporation.
Mountains Best Landscape focuses on zoning your property correctly. This means your thirsty grass gets the spray it needs, while your drought-tolerant native plants receive a separate, lighter schedule. We use professional-grade valves, pipes, and heads that are built to withstand the high water pressure and rocky soil conditions common in Northern Arizona. Our goal is to provide a “set it and forget it” solution that keeps your property looking pristine year-round while significantly lowering your monthly utility costs.

Protecting Your Pipes from the Mountain Freeze
One of the biggest threats to your landscaping investment is the brutal winter freeze that hits the White Mountains every year. If water is left in your lines when the temperature drops, expanding ice will shatter your pipes and valves. We provide essential seasonal support to ensure your system survives the winter and is ready to perform the moment spring arrives.
Our winterization process involves more than just turning off a tap; we use high-volume air compressors to “blow out” every drop of moisture from your lines. This preventative maintenance is the only way to avoid expensive repairs and flooded yards when the ground thaws. We also offer spring startup services to check for leaks, adjust head alignments, and reprogram your timers for the new growing season. We make sure your irrigation setup is as tough as the mountains themselves.
Don’t let the first freeze ruin your system—schedule your winter blowout now!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much water can I save with a drip system?
On average, a well-designed drip system uses 30% to 50% less water than traditional sprinklers by delivering moisture directly to the soil and reducing runoff.
Can you repair a system installed by another company?
Absolutely. We handle repairs for all major brands and can often upgrade old, inefficient systems with modern, water-saving technology.
Why is my sprinkler head "weeping" water?
This is usually caused by a faulty valve or a piece of debris trapped in the seal. We can quickly diagnose the issue and replace the necessary parts to stop the waste.
Do you offer commercial irrigation services?
Yes! We manage large-scale systems for HOAs, shopping centers, and office complexes throughout the Show Low and Pinetop areas.
Will my system still work during a power outage?
Most modern controllers have a battery backup that saves your programming, though the pump or valves may not trigger until power is restored.
How often should I change my watering schedule?
You should adjust your timer at least four times a year to account for the changing temperatures and rainfall patterns of our mountain seasons.
