If your sprinkler system still gets the job done but wastes water, misses spots, or runs up the bill, you usually don’t need a whole new system you need the right upgrades. MW Lawn & Landscape retrofits existing systems across Olathe and Johnson County with high-efficiency heads, pressure regulation, added zones, and drip conversion, so you water better and waste less.
We’ll respond within 24 hours
Most systems we’re asked to “replace” don’t need replacing the lines and valves are fine, but the heads are outdated, the pressure is off, or the layout no longer matches the yard. An upgrade keeps the parts that still work and modernizes the parts that waste water, so you get even coverage and a lower bill without the cost of a full new install.
We start with an on-site evaluation, run each zone, and tell you honestly what’s worth upgrading and what isn’t. If the whole system is past saving we’ll say so and point you to a new system installation instead and if a part is simply broken, that’s a repair , not an upgrade.
We upgrade the heads, nozzles, valves, and coverage not the whole system so you pay for improvement, not replacement.
High-efficiency heads and pressure regulation put water where it belongs, which can meaningfully cut a summer bill in this climate.
New beds, trees, or a changed layout? We add and split zones so every area gets what it needs no more dry corners or soaked sidewalks.
We tell you when an upgrade is the smart call and when a full replacement actually makes more sense no overselling.
We mix and match based on what your system actually needs here’s the full menu.
We replace old spray heads with modern high-efficiency heads and rotating nozzles that apply water more evenly and waste far less to wind and runoff.
Too much pressure mists water into the air; too little leaves dry spots. We add pressure-regulating heads so every zone runs in its ideal range.
New landscaping or poor coverage often means a zone is overloaded. We add new zones or split existing ones so each area waters correctly.
We convert beds, hedges, and tree rings from spray to drip water goes straight to the roots, with far less lost to evaporation.
Aging or leaking valves waste water and cause weak zones. We replace individual valves or rebuild the manifold so zones open and close cleanly.
Before anything else, we run every zone, check coverage and pressure, and give you a clear, prioritized upgrade plan not a guess.
The real decision most Olathe homeowners face. Here’s the honest comparison natural stone and flagstone sit alongside pavers as the premium, longest-lasting option on the left.
25+ years on Johnson County systems and the honesty to upgrade only what’s worth upgrading.
A dry spot can be a head, a pressure problem, or a zone that’s overloaded. We diagnose which it is so the upgrade actually solves it.
We’d rather save you money with a targeted retrofit than sell a full system you don’t need and we’ll tell you when you do need one.
The crew that evaluates your system does the work and stands behind it no handoffs, no runaround.
We know how hot, dry Kansas summers and heavy clay affect watering and which upgrades make the biggest difference on a local bill.
Three steps to a walkway that holds.
We run every zone, check coverage and pressure, and find what’s wasting water. You get a clear, prioritized list of what’s worth upgrading and what isn’t.
Head and nozzle swaps, pressure regulation, added or split zones, drip conversion, valve work whatever your plan calls for, done by one crew in as few visits as possible.
We run the upgraded system zone by zone, fine-tune the coverage, and show you what changed and how it saves water.

It depends on what your system needs, but the common upgrades are high-efficiency heads and nozzles, pressure regulation, adding or splitting zones, converting beds to drip, and replacing worn valves or the manifold. We evaluate your system first and only recommend the upgrades that actually improve coverage or cut water use.
In most cases upgrading is the smart call if your lines and valves are sound, swapping heads, fixing pressure, and adding zones costs far less than a new system and solves the real problems. If the system is old throughout or failing in multiple places, we’ll tell you honestly that a full replacement makes more sense, and we won’t upsell you into a retrofit that won’t last.
Yes. When new beds, trees, or a bigger lawn have outgrown the original design, we add new zones or split overloaded ones so every area gets proper coverage. We check your water supply and pressure first to make sure the added zones will perform.
Yes beds, hedges, and tree rings are ideal candidates. We convert those areas from overhead spray to drip so water goes straight to the roots with far less lost to evaporation and overspray. It’s one of the better water-saving upgrades for planted areas.
It can, and often noticeably. High-efficiency heads, correct pressure, and drip conversion all cut the water wasted to misting, runoff, and evaporation industry sources cite meaningful reductions from an optimized system. We won’t promise an exact number because every yard is different, but reducing waste is exactly what these upgrades are built to do.
We can, but a smart Wi-Fi controller is its own upgrade we cover that on our dedicated controller page so each topic gets a full answer. This page focuses on the system hardware: heads, pressure, zones, drip, and valves. See our smart irrigation controller page
