For most Maryland lawns, we recommend a combination of rotary heads for large open areas and spray heads for smaller zones and garden beds. Rotary heads distribute water slowly and evenly, reducing runoff on clay soils common in Southern Maryland. For flower beds and shrubs, drip irrigation or bubblers provide targeted watering.

Broken sprinkler heads are one of the most common repairs and are quick and affordable to fix — usually $50–$100 per head including labor. We keep common replacement heads in stock for fast service. We're always available for fast repair service throughout Calvert County and Southern Maryland.
