Conserva Irrigation of North Oklahoma City: Smart Watering Systems for OKC Yards
Conserva Irrigation of North Oklahoma City installs and maintains weather-based irrigation controllers and drip systems across the metro, focusing on reducing water use while keeping yards functional. The company operates as a franchise of the national Conserva network but manages its own scheduling and service territory in north OKC and surrounding areas, serving residential and small commercial properties where water efficiency matters and yard size justifies system investment.
What Conserva Irrigation actually does
Conserva Irrigation specializes in two core offerings: retrofitting existing irrigation systems with smart controllers that adjust watering based on local weather and soil conditions, and designing new drip-irrigation or micro-sprinkler systems for gardens, landscaping, and outdoor spaces. Unlike generic irrigation repair shops that maintain whatever system is already in ground, Conserva's model centers on system replacement or upgrade to reduce waste. The company does not typically handle traditional in-ground sprinkler installation from scratch on large turf areas, which is why it suits property owners who already have some irrigation infrastructure or who want to replace high-water systems with targeted, low-volume alternatives.
Services and pricing
Conserva's primary service is controller replacement, which costs between $800 and $1,500 depending on the existing system complexity and whether rewiring is needed. This converts a standard timer to a WiFi-enabled weather-intelligent controller that skips watering after rain and adjusts cycle length based on OKC's seasonal ET (evapotranspiration) rates. A second major offering is drip-system design and installation, priced by square footage of garden or landscaping zone; typical residential projects range from $2,000 to $5,000 for converting turf-adjacent planting beds or vegetable gardens to drip. Annual maintenance plans, which include seasonal adjustments and filter or emitter cleaning, run $150 to $300 per year depending on system size. Verify current pricing by contacting the company directly, as controller costs and labor rates shift seasonally and by project scope.
How it compares to other OKC irrigation options
North OKC residents can choose between three service types: traditional irrigation repair shops (such as those advertising in the yellow pages under "Irrigation Contractors"), national big-box landscape suppliers offering in-ground installation, and Conserva's efficiency-focused model. Traditional repair shops focus on fixing leaks and replacing broken valves at lower hourly rates (typically $75 to $100 per hour) but do not specialize in system redesign. National suppliers and large local landscaping firms handle full in-ground sprinkler systems and are the right choice for new construction or major lawn overhauls; they rarely retrofit smart controllers onto existing systems. Conserva's advantage is narrower: it is the fastest path to water-smart irrigation for existing systems or for property owners who want high-precision watering in planting beds without the cost and complexity of traditional underground work. Choose Conserva if your current system is sound but outdated, or if you want drip zones in specific areas. Choose a traditional repair contractor if you have an emergency leak. Choose a full-service landscape firm if you are redesigning your entire outdoor space from the ground up.
Who it suits and who it does not
Conserva works best for OKC homeowners in north suburbs with established yards, existing irrigation, and a monthly water bill they want to shrink. The smart controller appeals to owners who travel or do not want to manually adjust watering through Oklahoma's three-season climate swings. Drip systems attract vegetable gardeners, raised-bed enthusiasts, and property managers of small commercial landscapes (office parks, rental communities) where targeted watering reduces labor and water cost. It does not suit renters without landlord approval, owners of small yards relying on hand-watering, or properties where in-ground sprinkler work is the actual need. It also does not address aesthetic complaints about existing sprinkler placement or design; it optimizes what is already there.
What the first visit involves
An initial consultation is typically free and conducted by phone or on-site. A technician assesses the existing system (or describes the space for new drip installation), identifies zones and their watering needs, and provides a written proposal including materials, labor, and timeline. If you choose to proceed, installation is usually scheduled within two to three weeks. Controller retrofits take a few hours; drip-system builds may require a full day or two depending on zone size and soil conditions. The company provides WiFi setup support so you can monitor watering from a phone app.
Hours, location, and logistics
Conserva Irrigation of North Oklahoma City serves the metro from a service area covering Edmond, Bethany, The Villages, and surrounding north-side areas. The company does not operate a walk-in showroom; all work is appointment-based. Business hours and availability should be confirmed directly with the company. Parking is not a concern since visits occur at your property.
Conserva Irrigation has carved a specific niche in OKC's irrigation market by treating smart watering as a retrofit business rather than a full-system installation firm, making it a practical option for water-conscious homeowners with systems already in place.
