Stop Paying for Water Your Property Never Uses

Outdated controllers, leaking valves, and scheduling mistakes can waste thousands of gallons of water on your property every month and result in a higher utility bill. Meanwhile, patchy turf and browning beds create an unpleasant sight.

Brilliant Borders ends that cycle. We plan your system around your site, zone by zone, making sure nothing is wasted.

Year Round Irrigation Services

From spring startups to fall maintenance, your irrigation system gets full attention under a year-round contract. One organized team handles maintenance, audits, compliance, and upgrades across your site, whether you manage a retail center, medical facility, school district, warehouse campus, or multifamily community.

Irrigation Maintenance

Routine inspections catch broken heads, misaligned spray patterns, and leaking valves before they show up as dead turf or inflated bills. On a 12 month contract, your system is checked, adjusted, and documented on a set schedule, so coverage stays consistent across every zone of your property.

Irrigation Audits

A full audit measures exactly where your water goes: precipitation rates, pressure, coverage gaps, and runtime efficiency. You receive a clear report with fixes ranked by savings, so budget decisions for your senior living community, office park, or campus rest on data instead of guesswork.

Irrigation Backflows

Annual backflow testing keeps your property compliant with Des Moines requirements and protects the potable water supply serving your tenants, residents, or patients. Certified technicians handle the testing, repairs, and paperwork, filing results on time so compliance never lands on your desk as a problem.

Irrigation Startups

Each spring, every zone is pressurized slowly, inspected head by head, and programmed for the season ahead. Cracked fittings and winter damage get repaired on the spot, so your grounds green up on schedule without a surprise repair bill arriving in May.

Winterization

Before the first hard freeze, compressed air clears every line, valve, and head so trapped water cannot crack pipes underground. A proper blowout prevents the spring repair costs that unprotected systems rack up, keeping your maintenance budget stable through Iowa winters.

Smart Controllers

Weather based smart controllers adjust runtimes automatically using local rainfall, temperature, and soil data. Skipped cycles after storms and shortened runs in cool weather routinely cut water use by 20 to 40 percent, and you see the difference on your very next utility statement.

Drip Irrigation

Drip lines deliver water directly to the root zones in planting beds, medians, and foundation plantings, eliminating overspray on sidewalks, windows, and parking areas. Your plants stay healthier, your hardscapes stay clean, and your water bill reflects only what the landscape actually needs.

Drainage

Standing water damages turf, undermines pavement, and creates slip hazards for residents and visitors. French drains, catch basins, and regrading move water away from buildings and walkways, protecting your property and reducing your liability with every storm that rolls through.

Professional, Flexible, and Reliable Team

I contracted with Brilliant Borders for a new backyard patio. It wasn’t a huge project, but the whole team, Christian, Armando, Alex, and Alvaro, were great to work with. They were very responsive to questions and check-ins, and were easy to work with on adjusting the design and the scope and worked quickly, even with unexpected rain delays. I was very happy with the final result and would definitely recommend them.
