Orion’s Rain installs fertigation systems in Baytown (ZIP 77520 and 77521). Every time a zone runs, the system injects a micro-dose into the water going to that zone. It is hands-off — the homeowner refills the tank about once a quarter — and everything that goes through the system is organic, pet-friendly, and earth-friendly. Our preferred system is EZ-FLO; we can also install Mosquito Magic, though we are not a licensed dealer for it, and other systems depending on the yard.
What we do
- Micro-injection every time a zone runs — a little bit, often, instead of a big dose once in a while.
- Fertilization — liquid fertilizer delivered evenly, zone by zone, instead of granules that wash off in the first rain.
- Pest control — organic pest control through the irrigation water, into the soil and turf where pests live.
- Mosquito control — organic mosquito control through the same system, evenly across the yard every time the sprinklers run.
- EZ-FLO (our preferred system) — simple, reliable, easy to refill. Some systems use the venturi effect, some use pressure differential; we recommend the one that fits your system and water pressure.
Fertigation on Baytown ground
In Baytown, a mix of older housing stock in places and newer subdivisions elsewhere, in the Highlands–Crosby–Baytown triangle. The Houston Ship Channel and Galveston Bay side of the Lake Houston area, east of Crosby. Baytown is bigger and more urban than Kingwood or Crosby, and its housing tells two stories at once: older homes with older systems, and newer subdivisions with new systems that still need to be set up right. We work on both, and we do commercial work here too. That ground is hard on grass — flooding drowns it, wet clay starves the roots, and a lawn that is already stressed is the lawn mosquitoes and pests find first. Fertigation does not fix drainage, and we will say so plainly: if the yard holds water, drainage comes first. But once the water is handled, fertigation is how a Baytown lawn gets fed steadily and protected evenly, a little bit every time the sprinklers run, instead of a one-time treatment that wears off.
How we work
We install the system, tie it into your irrigation system, set the injection rate, and show you how to refill the tank. We check it when we are out for a sprinkler check. What we do not do is spray chemicals — we do not spray, and we do not hold a Texas pest license. If a job needs a licensed spray applicator, we will tell you that and we will not take the job.
We serve Baytown (77520 and 77521) and the Lake Houston area. Call or text (281) 504-9998 — 24 hours a day.
Questions, answered in plain language: – Why do mosquitoes seem worse around one part of my yard? – Should I repair my sprinkler system before installing new sod? – Why does my lawn have dry spots even though the sprinkler system runs?

Backflow protection: an RPZ is required
Because a fertigation system adds product to the water, Texas treats it as a health hazard for backflow purposes. Before any chemical is added to an irrigation system connected to a potable water supply, the system must be connected through a reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assembly (RPZ) or an air gap — that is 30 TAC §344.51(a). A standard pressure vacuum breaker or double check valve is not enough once an injection system is on the line. We install the right RPZ assembly as part of the fertigation job, and it gets tested annually like any health-hazard backflow assembly. (30 TAC Chapter 344, §344.51)

Frequently asked questions
Do you spray for mosquitoes in Baytown?
No. We do not spray chemicals and we do not hold a Texas pest license. What we do is install a fertigation system that delivers organic mosquito control through your sprinkler system, a little bit every time a zone runs.
Is fertigation safe for pets and kids?
The products we run through the system are organic, pet-friendly, and earth-friendly. That is the whole point of doing it this way instead of spraying.
How often do I refill the tank?
About once a quarter. That is the whole job for the homeowner — no mixing, no spraying, no appointments to keep.
Will fertigation fix a lawn that floods in Baytown?
No — and we will not pretend it will. Older systems that have been patched for years and now need a real overhaul, not one more repair Fertigation feeds and protects a lawn; drainage is what keeps it from drowning. If the yard floods, we talk about drainage first.
