A smart controller is the single easiest upgrade to your sprinkler system it waters on the weather instead of a fixed timer, skips the rain on its own, and puts your whole system on your phone. MW Lawn & Landscape supplies, installs, and fully programs smart WiFi controllers for homes across Olathe and Johnson County, so your lawn gets exactly what it needs and not a drop more.
An old dial or basic digital timer does exactly one thing it runs each zone for a set time on set days, whether it rained last night or it’s 100 degrees and bone dry. A smart controller watches the weather for your address and adjusts automatically, so your lawn is watered on conditions, not a calendar. That’s better for the grass and easier on the water bill.
We supply the controller, install it, connect it to your WiFi, and program every zone for your yard you’re not left with an app and a manual. If your system also needs better coverage or efficiency at the head, that’s a sprinkler system upgrade the two pair perfectly, and we can do both in one visit.

The controller pulls local weather and skips or shortens cycles automatically no more sprinklers running in the rain.

Start, stop, or tweak any zone from the app whether you’re home, at work, or on vacation.

We bring the right controller, wire it in, connect the WiFi, and set up every zone for your yard done, not DIY.

Weather-based scheduling targets what your lawn actually needs, which can meaningfully cut summer water use in this climate.
We handle the whole thing the unit, the wiring, the app, and the programming.

We recommend and provide a smart WiFi controller sized to your number of zones and your system no guessing at the store.

We remove the old timer, wire the new controller correctly zone-by-zone, and mount it cleanly indoor or outdoor rated as needed.

We connect the controller to your home WiFi, set up the app on your phone, and make sure it’s talking to the system before we leave.

Every zone is named and programmed for its plants, sun, and soil lawn, beds, and slopes don’t all get the same schedule.

We enable weather-based skipping and, where it helps, add a rain sensor so the system responds to real conditions.

We show you how to run a zone, pause the system, and read the app so you’re comfortable using it from day one.
Same sprinkler system very different results. Here’s what changes when the brain gets smarter.

It’s a WiFi-connected replacement for your old sprinkler timer. Instead of running a fixed schedule, it pulls local weather data and adjusts watering automatically skipping or shortening cycles when it rains or cools off and lets you control every zone from an app on your phone. We supply, install, and program it so it’s set up correctly for your yard from the start.
For most Johnson County lawns, yes. Because they water on actual weather instead of a set calendar, they cut the water wasted on rainy days and over-watering EPA WaterSense and local utilities both point to real savings from weather-based controllers. You also get the convenience of adjusting the system from your phone. We won’t promise an exact number because every yard is different, but reducing waste is exactly what they’re built to do.
Almost always. A smart controller replaces the timer, not the sprinklers it connects to the same zone wiring your current controller uses. We confirm your zone count and wiring during the evaluation so the unit we bring is a clean fit.
Yes the “smart” features (weather skipping, app control, alerts) rely on your home WiFi reaching the controller. During the evaluation we check the signal where your controller lives; if it’s weak, we’ll let you know the simple fix before install day.
Yes. If your existing controller is still good, we can reprogram and fine-tune it seasonal schedules, run times, and zones without replacing anything. We’ll tell you honestly whether a reprogram solves it or whether a smart controller is the better long-term move. If the controller is dead or faulty, that’s a replacement; if the problem is a wire or valve, that’s a repair https://mwlawn.com/irrigation-repair-olathe-ks/.
Sometimes a number of Kansas water providers run conservation rebates on weather-based smart controllers, though they vary by provider and year. Ask us and we’ll point you to what’s currently offered in your area, and the paperwork is usually simple.

The work the lawnmaintenance workers did for us was exceptional. I have many shrubs and bushes and they trimmed everything beautifully. And just as important, they cleaned up all the trimmings _ and there was a lot _ as well as some other yard waste. We so appreciate such good work. Thank you.![]()
