At Legacy Irrigation And Landscapes LLC, we design systems with balanced pressure and zone timing to match Oklahoma City's clay-heavy conditions and prevent pooling or wasted water.

Fall and spring offer cooler temperatures and better moisture conditions for root establishment. Summer installs are possible but require more frequent watering and careful monitoring. Legacy Irrigation recommends pairing sod with irrigation setup to ensure consistent hydration during Oklahoma's hot, dry seasons.

Posts should be set at least 2 to 3 feet deep to handle Oklahoma's wind exposure and varying soil conditions. Proper depth and reinforcement prevent leaning and extend fence lifespan. At Legacy Irrigation And Landscapes LLC, we prioritize solid post setting and straight lines for long-term durability.

Heavy storms, clay soil with poor absorption, and inadequate yard slope commonly cause pooling around homes and foundations. French drains, surface drains, and proper grading redirect water safely away from structures.
