Longmont water context. Longmont's senior water rights mean residents are less likely to face severe mandatory restrictions compared to other Front Range cities. The city's backflow program is well-established and actively enforced.
What a smart controller actually does. A Rachio 3 replaces your existing sprinkler timer with a Wi-Fi-connected controller that pulls live local weather and skips watering before rain, freeze, or high winds. It also adjusts run times across the season — so you're not watering a July schedule in May. On a typical home, that's 8,000–15,000 gallons saved every year.
Longmont soil note. Heavy clay-loam soil consistent with the Northern Front Range. Alkaline pH with poor natural drainage. Cycle-and-soak irrigation recommended to prevent runoff on clay.
How Trailhead handles it. We bring the right Rachio 3 model for your zone count, mount it, swap the wiring from your old controller (no rerunning sprinkler valve wires), set up the app on your phone, and program your zones together with you before we leave. Most installs take 60–90 minutes.
