Burnet, TX • Burnet County
TCEQ-licensed irrigator (#LI0037154). Sprinkler installation, irrigation repair, drip systems, and smart controllers built for Burnet soil and water conditions.
Burnet is a mix of in-town homes, lake-area properties around Inks Lake and Lake Buchanan, and ranchette acreage out toward Park Road 4 — and irrigation has to be designed differently for each. Highland Lakes Irrigation has installed and repaired systems across all of zip 78611, which means we know which neighborhoods have pressure issues, which have rocky trenching, and which need careful drip planning for native Hill Country plantings.
Whether you’re keeping a small town lot looking sharp or running irrigation on a few acres outside town, we design systems that hold up to Burnet County conditions: hot summers, cold-snap freezes, mineral-heavy water in some areas, and the LCRA restrictions that affect everyone.
Every property is unique — and we’ve learned that what works on the coast or in DFW often falls apart in the Hill Country.
Burnet soils are a limestone-and-granite mix — rocky to moderately rocky depending on which side of town. Many ranchettes off Park Road 4 sit on shallow caliche over rock, which means trenching plans matter more than they would in deeper soils.
City of Burnet water serves the town center; properties out toward Inks Lake, Long Mountain, and Council Creek typically run on private wells or LCRA service. Pressure varies a lot by neighborhood — we always pressure-test before designing zones so you don’t end up with under-pressured heads or blown drip lines.
Including Burnet town center, Inks Lake area, Council Creek, Long Mountain, and Park Road 4 corridor — plus the surrounding Burnet County communities. Zip 78611 and adjacent areas.
Every system is custom-designed for Burnet soil, water source, and the way you actually use your property.

The questions we get most often from Burnet homeowners. If yours isn’t here, just give us a call.
Yes — the Inks Lake area, Council Creek, Long Mountain, and properties along Park Road 4 are part of our regular Burnet service area. Lake-area properties often run lake-pump systems or wells, both of which we handle, including freeze-protection and seasonal start-up/shutdown service.
For acreage properties, we typically design hybrid systems: pop-up sprinklers for turf areas around the house, drip irrigation for ornamental beds, and dedicated zones for tree wells and orchard or garden areas. Smart controllers tied to weather data are essential — trying to manage 6-12 zones manually through a Texas summer almost never works.
Yes. Mineral-heavy well water clogs drip emitters and can damage spray heads over time. We install appropriate filtration on the supply side, design with mineral-tolerant components, and offer flush-schedule maintenance to keep drip systems running for years instead of seasons.
