The company you choose does the work and sets its own price. Wolfforth, just southwest of Lubbock, has the newest housing in the metro, which means many yards here are still being established rather than maintained.

The wider 79382 ZIP, which reaches beyond city limits, has about 10,512 residents, a median build year of 2001 and about 77% owner-occupied. In 2021, local news reported a developer building 2,500 new homes just outside city limits as Frenship ISD grew.
Wolfforth watering rules are different
Wolfforth doesn't use Lubbock's address-digit schedule. Its own Drought Contingency Plan (2023) set even addresses on Monday and Thursday and odd addresses on Tuesday and Friday, between 8 p.m. and 10 a.m., up to about 1.5 inches per zone per week. Hand watering is unrestricted, and new plantings may get extra water for 30 days. The plan was revised to closely mirror Lubbock's after the city began buying Lubbock water under a 25-year contract effective June 1, 2023. The current stage wasn't confirmed, so check with the City of Wolfforth before you program a controller.
Sod and sprinkler set-up for new yards
A new-build lot often needs sod installation and a sprinkler system set up for it, ideally in one plan. Texas A&M AgriLife calls buffalograss “best adapted for areas with annual rainfall of 25 inches or less” and rates bermudagrass's drought tolerance “very good to excellent.” Nearby Lubbock averages 18.33 inches of rain a year (NOAA). Spring is the windiest season, so fresh sod needs steady watering. The 30-day new-planting allowance in Wolfforth's plan is worth asking about.
New automatic systems in Lubbock County must include rain or moisture shut-off technology (30 TAC §344.62(j)). The sprinkler repair guide explains what to ask before you hire.
In Texas, sprinkler and irrigation installation, repair and maintenance for hire must be done by, or under the supervision of, a TCEQ-licensed Landscape Irrigator, whose LI license number must appear on their advertising. Homeowners may work on their own home's system. Ask for the LI number and verify it with TCEQ. Backflow testing requires a TCEQ-licensed backflow prevention assembly tester. This is general information, not legal advice.
Keeping a new lawn on track
- Lawn mowing: AgriLife recommends common bermuda at 1–2 inches and buffalograss at 2.5–3 inches
- Fertilization after spring green-up, once late frost is unlikely, starting with a soil test
- Weed control while new turf fills in; dense turf helps crowd out weeds such as goatheads
- Water-wise landscaping for beds and side yards the builder left as dirt
- Lawn maintenance plans once the yard is established

Wolfforth buys water from the City of Lubbock under a 25-year contract that took effect June 1, 2023, according to local news coverage. Before that, the city relied on its own wells and an electrodialysis reversal treatment plant. Your watering rules still come from Wolfforth's own plan, not Lubbock's schedule.
