Hi, I'm Landon.
I'll Be the Person
Fixing Your System.

Growing up around the work.

I grew up in southwest Georgia in a family that did outdoor service for a living. My grandfather did it. My father did it. I was the kid who got handed a shovel at twelve and told to go dig where the line was. That's how you learned — by watching, by doing it wrong, and by having someone older than you explain why the way you just did it was going to leak in six months.

It was a slow, serious apprenticeship. Nobody handed me a certification and called me a professional. I had to earn trust one job at a time, starting with the easy stuff and working my way up to the jobs where getting it wrong meant tearing up a lawn twice.

Texas, and learning the hard way what clay soil does.

I moved to Texas years ago and brought the Georgia trade with me — and then learned that almost none of it applied the same way. North Texas clay soil doesn't drain. North Texas summers don't forgive mistakes. North Texas freezes split anything not properly blown out. I had to learn the Texas version of the craft the way I learned the Georgia version — by doing it, watching experienced irrigators, and making every mistake once so I wouldn't make it twice on somebody's lawn.

By the time I earned my Texas Irrigator License from the TCEQ, I'd already been doing the work for years. The license was a formalization of what I already knew how to do — not the start of learning it.

Why I started Spray Irrigation Co.

I worked for other companies for years. Good companies, bad companies, and some in between. The thing I kept running into — the thing that eventually pushed me to start my own — was the gap between what I could do for a customer and what a company structure would let me do for them.

At every company I worked for, there was a trip fee. There were upsells I didn't think the customer needed. There was a dispatcher who didn't know what was actually wrong before I got there. There was a crew rotation that meant the person who installed a system wasn't the person who came back to fix it. None of that is how the trade was taught to me.

I started Spray Irrigation Co. because I wanted to do the work the way my family did the work: one person, one job, one promise, one phone number that rings to the person who's actually going to show up.

What I'm trying to build here.

This is a small business and I mean to keep it that way. The goal isn't a fleet. The goal is to do honest work for a manageable number of customers in North Richland Hills and the cities around it — and to do that work well enough that the customers I earn refer the next ones.

I'm licensed. I'm insured. I charge $0 for the service call and $75 per hour for labor, and I quote every part before I install it. When I can't fix something, I say so. When a repair doesn't need to be done, I say so. When the job is finished, I text the customer before I leave so we're on the same page about what got done and what it cost.

If that sounds like the kind of person you want showing up to work on your irrigation system, that's who I'm trying to be.
