ATASCOCITA, TEXAS — FERTIGATION SYSTEMS
Fertigation Systems in Atascocita, TX
fertigation feeds your lawn through your sprinkler system — a micro-injection of liquid fertilizer every time a zone runs, so the grass gets fed a little at a time, automatically. The same system can deliver organic pest and mosquito control. All organic, pet- and earth-friendly — and we install the system; we do not spray chemicals.

Say it plainly, because it matters: Tony does not spray chemicals, and Orion’s Rain holds no Texas pest license. Fertigation is not spraying. It is a tank and an injector tied into the irrigation system — every time a zone runs, a measured micro-dose of liquid fertilizer (and, if you choose it, organic pest and mosquito control) goes out with the water, right to the roots. Hands-off for you except refilling the tank about once a quarter.
What we do
- EZ-FLO fertigation systems — our preferred system, installed and set up on your existing sprinkler system. Some systems work by the venturi effect, some by pressure differential; we install the one that fits your system.
- Mosquito Magic and other systems — we can install Mosquito Magic and other fertigation systems as well. We are not a licensed dealer for Mosquito Magic.
- Fertilization through the sprinklers — liquid fertilizer delivered a little at a time, every time a zone runs, instead of a heavy granular application a few times a year.
- Organic pest and mosquito control through the system — the same micro-injection can carry organic pest and mosquito control to the lawn. No spraying, no fogging, no chemicals on the patio furniture.
- Setup and refills — we set the feed rate, show you how the tank works, and tell you when it needs refilling — about once a quarter for most homes.
Atascocita fertigation: lakefront mosquitoes and clay lawns
Atascocita is where fertigation earns its keep twice. First, the mosquitoes: lakefront lots in Walden on Lake Houston and Atascocita Shores, and lots next to Bear Branch in Atascocita Forest and Forest Cove, sit next to standing and slow-moving water — and mosquitoes are worse around the wet parts of a yard. A fertigation system treats the lawn itself, every time the sprinklers run, instead of waiting for a spray appointment. Second, the lawns: Houston Black Clay swells 8–12 inches seasonally, and a lawn on clay that gets fed in heavy bursts and then nothing for months does not grow evenly. Micro-dosing feeds the grass steadily, a little every time it waters.
That is also why fertigation pairs with a sprinkler check. A fertigation tank on a system with a dead zone feeds the working zones and starves the dead one — so we make sure the system waters evenly first. See Sprinkler Repair Atascocita and Smart Controllers Atascocita.
There is no separate mosquito page on this site, on purpose. Everything about mosquito control through the sprinkler system lives here, on the fertigation page — because that is what it is.
How we work
We come out, look at your sprinkler system, your lawn, and your water — then we tell you whether fertigation fits your system and what it will do for your yard, and we give you a clear plan before any work starts. Every job is different, so we do not quote a price sight unseen.
We serve Atascocita, Kingwood, Porter, Humble, New Caney, Summerwood, Fall Creek, Huffman, Eagle Springs, Crosby, Baytown, and the Lake Houston area.
Questions, answered in plain language: Why do mosquitoes seem worse around one part of my yard? · Why does one part of my lawn stay wet while another stays dry? · Why does Houston clay affect sprinkler runtimes?

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
What is fertigation?
Fertigation is fertilizing through the sprinkler system. A tank and an injector add a measured micro-dose of liquid fertilizer to the water every time a zone runs, so the lawn gets fed a little at a time, automatically.
Is fertigation safe for pets?
Yes. The systems we install are all organic, pet- and earth-friendly. The fertilizer and the pest and mosquito control go out with the irrigation water, at a micro-dose, right to the roots.
Do you spray for mosquitoes?
No. We do not spray chemicals, and we hold no Texas pest license. Mosquito control through fertigation is delivered through the sprinkler system, not sprayed.
How often do I refill the fertigation tank?
About once a quarter for most homes. We set the feed rate and show you how to check the tank.
Can fertigation be added to my existing sprinkler system?
Usually yes. We check the system first — it has to water evenly before the tank goes on — and then install the injector and tank to fit it.
