The best way to a beautiful lawn is to have Traut Companies install an underground irrigation system. Consider an irrigation system from Traut Companies an insurance policy, one that returns a beautiful, maintenance-free lawn year after year due to efficient and uniform water application. We can install and repair commercial or residential lawn irrigation systems. Our custom-designed and installed irrigation systems come with many options to meet your needs and budget.

The Traut Irrigation Difference
Free Estimates
The cost of a lawn irrigation system will depend on several things, including the size and complexity of your lawn, the water source you’ll use, available water pressure, and water quality. We will set up a time to see what your specific wants and needs are.
No Yard Mess
We have good news for you. We use a trenchless pipe installation method that slices through the sod and lays the pipe - all at the same time - which greatly reduces the impact on your existing lawn.
Smaller Water Bills
Today’s irrigation techniques can significantly reduce your water bills, saving you money in the long run. We can calculate your payback for each available option and what the payback time-frame would be. Then you decide what works best for you and your family.
Head-to-Head Coverage
We call this process “matched precipitation.” It means each head hits all other heads within its throw. In areas where only single coverage is received, the grass will likely turn brown in hot weather. We can fix that problem with a properly designed system to maximize range and coverage.
Water Runoff
A number of things can cause water runoff, such as improperly set run times, compacted or sloped soil, windy conditions, or poorly adjusted sprinkler heads. We can troubleshoot the problem and make suggestions for improvement, such as running the system in the early morning, regularly adjusting the heads, and proper watering for the soil conditions using a timer with cycle and soak features.

- Backflow Preventer Testing
Traut Companies is a licensed backflow device tester. The city of St. Cloud, MN is now requiring all backflow devices for lawn irrigation systems installed on or after January 23, 2016 to be tested every year within 15 days of the start-up of the system by a licensed backflow tester to ensure they are working properly. If the testing is not completed within 15 days, a $75.00 service fee will be applied to your utility bill. It is the homeowner's responsibility to ensure the backflow preventer gets tested properly.
The Convenience & Benefit of an Automatic Sprinkler System
- Save Money: Automatic sprinklers are more efficient, using less water than if you watered your lawn by hose. Not only will it save you time, but less water means saving you money.
- Disperse Water at an Even Rate: You can water shady and sunny areas at different times and for different periods of time. You’re in control and your watering task is done when it’s most convenient for you.
- Convenience: Automatic systems allow you to water your lawn even while you’re traveling or at work. That time savings add up to more free time for you and your family to do the things you enjoy.
