Mission Elite Sod & Turf provides professional drip irrigation & water saving in Mission, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Upper Rio Grande Valley. Drip irrigation is the cheapest water you will ever buy, because almost none of it is thrown away to wind drift, evaporation or the sidewalk. We install pressure-compensating inline emitter tubing in beds, hedges, tree rings and narrow strips across Mission and Palmhurst, and convert existing spray zones to drip at the valve for less than most people assume. The physics are not complicated. A spray head atomises water and throws it through moving air, and on a windy Upper Valley afternoon a meaningful share of it never lands where you wanted it. Drip tubing releases water at the soil surface at a rate low enough that even heavy clay loam can absorb it rather than shedding it toward the street. Under mulch, nearly all of it ends up in the root zone. In a three-foot strip between a driveway and a fence, drip is not the efficient option, it is the only sane one, because no spray nozzle can water that strip without also watering the concrete. A proper drip zone is a good deal more than tubing. It needs a filter, because unfiltered water plugs emitters within a season and everybody then blames the concept rather than the missing filter — and if you are on canal or well water the filter is not optional, it is the whole ballgame. It needs a pressure regulator, because standard line pressure blows fittings off inline tubing. It needs an air-relief valve at the high point and a flush valve at the end of the run so the line can be cleared. We use pressure-compensating tubing so emitters at the far end of a long run deliver the same rate as those at the valve, which matters on any run over about fifty feet. For turf, subsurface drip laid on a grid under the sod works well where a strip is too narrow to spray or where a commercial property wants irrigation completely out of the mower's path. It costs more to install than spray and it is not right for every lawn, but on medians, parkways and small commercial panels it eliminates overspray onto pavement entirely and stops the argument about wet sidewalks. Beyond installation we do water-saving retrofits: converting bed zones from spray to drip, adding a smart controller that adjusts run times against local weather instead of running the same twelve minutes in February and July, installing rain and soil moisture sensors, swapping tired nozzles for high-efficiency rotary nozzles on turf zones that stay spray, and running a full landscape water audit with catch cups. Most systems we audit are applying more water than the plants can use, at the wrong hour, on a schedule somebody set years ago and never revisited. Fixing that is usually cheaper than any equipment we could sell you.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — Raleigh St. Augustine sod, Palmetto St. Augustine, Floratam, TifTuf Bermuda, Tifway 419 Bermuda, Celebration Bermuda — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Mission and nearby communities including McAllen, Edinburg, Pharr, San Juan.

Materials, equipment and how we do drip irrigation & water saving
The difference between drip irrigation & water saving that lasts and drip irrigation & water saving that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with Raleigh St. Augustine sod, Palmetto St. Augustine, Floratam, TifTuf Bermuda, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Mission job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of sod installation work in the Upper Rio Grande Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
