Fog cuts water needs
Daly City's summer fog keeps evaporation low, especially near the coast in Westlake. A weather-based controller skips cycles on cool, gray days instead of running a fixed schedule.

Irrigation in Daly City
What Daly City homeowners should know
Slopes need drip
Spray heads on steep banks send water downhill before it soaks in. Drip line on slopes and in raised planters puts water at the roots with almost no runoff.
Front-yard makeovers
Many Daly City owners are swapping front lawns for gravel, drought-tolerant plants and planter beds. That means converting old sprinkler zones to drip on separate valves.

Irrigation in Daly City: FAQ
Should I use drip or sprinklers in Daly City?
Drip for beds, planters and slopes; spray or rotors only for lawn. Separate valves for each keep the lawn from overwatering the beds.
Can you convert my old sprinklers to drip?
Yes. We cap or convert the old heads, add a pressure regulator and filter, and run drip line to each plant group.
Do you repair existing sprinkler systems in Daly City?
Yes: leaks, broken heads, stuck valves and old timers. We also reset schedules for the season.
