A system designed for your exact yard
A professionally installed sprinkler system takes the guesswork out of watering. Automatic Rain designs and installs custom in-ground irrigation for homes across Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, and the surrounding Shelby County suburbs, engineered zone by zone for full, even coverage with no dry spots and no wasted water. Every install includes a smart WiFi controller and a code-compliant backflow preventer, and finishes with a walkthrough so you know exactly how your system runs. We build to EPA WaterSense efficiency guidance. Curious about the process? See how a sprinkler system is designed.
Coverage that’s engineered, not guessed
A great sprinkler system starts long before anyone picks up a shovel. We measure your home’s water pressure and flow, map your yard into zones by sun and plant type, and lay out every head for complete, even coverage, so your lawn stays green corner to corner without wasting water.
The key is head-to-head coverage. We space each sprinkler so its spray reaches all the way to the next head. That full overlap is what erases the dry edges and brown patches you get from a system that was eyeballed instead of engineered.
A real irrigation design: the zone and head layout (top), the parts schedule, and the pressure and flow analysis that proves every zone will run before we dig. Tap any image to view it full size.
Everything a lasting system needs
Custom zone-by-zone design
We map your yard by sun, slope, soil, and plant type, then design zones sized to your home’s water pressure for even coverage.
Professional-grade parts
Commercial-quality heads, nozzles, and valves built to last through Memphis summers, not the big-box parts that fail in a season.
Smart WiFi controller
Included with every install: it skips watering before rain and adjusts to local weather, saving up to 30% versus a standard timer.
Code-compliant backflow
A backflow preventer installed to local utility code protects your drinking water, and we’re certified to test it every year after.
Clean, tidy installation
We trench carefully and restore your turf, so seams settle and heal within a few weeks. Most yards look untouched by the next mow.
Full walkthrough & support
Before we leave, we walk you through your zones and app so you’re in control, and we’re a local call away if you ever need us. Keep your new system tuned with seasonal maintenance packages.

Sprinkler Installation in Memphis: Common Questions
How much does a sprinkler system cost to install in Memphis?
The cost depends on your yard size, the number of zones, and your plant types, so we provide a free, no-obligation quote after measuring your property. Every install includes a smart WiFi controller and a code-compliant backflow preventer, and the written quote spells out exactly what’s covered, no surprises.
How long does a sprinkler system installation take?
Most residential systems in the Memphis area are installed within one to two days, depending on yard size and the number of zones. We prep the utility line locate before we start and clean up tidily each day.
Will installing a system tear up my lawn?
No, we use careful trenching and restore your turf as we go. The narrow seams settle and heal within a few weeks, and most yards look untouched by the next couple of mows.
Do I need a backflow preventer on my irrigation system?
Yes. Memphis-area water utilities require a backflow preventer on any irrigation system connected to the public water supply, to keep lawn water from flowing back into your drinking water. We install one to code with every system and are certified to perform the required annual test.
How many zones will my yard need?
It depends on your yard’s size and your home’s available water pressure. Each zone can only run so many heads at once. We calculate the right number of zones when we quote your system so every area gets full, even coverage.
