New Year Drip Upgrade: Head-to-Drip Changeouts for Utah Gardens

January 7, 2026

As the new year begins, many Utah homeowners are resolving to make smarter, more sustainable choices for their homes and landscapes. If you’re looking to save water, improve your garden’s health, and reduce maintenance, there’s one powerful upgrade you should consider: converting your traditional sprinkler heads to drip irrigation. At Oberg Irrigation, we specialize in head-to-drip changeouts for Bountiful, Salt Lake City, and surrounding Utah areas—helping you kick off the year with a garden that’s greener for you and the environment.


Why Upgrade to Drip Irrigation?


Utah’s climate presents unique challenges for maintaining vibrant lawns and gardens. With water conservation becoming increasingly important and restrictions more common, homeowners need irrigation solutions that maximize every drop. Drip irrigation directly delivers water to the plant’s root zone, minimizing evaporation and runoff that are common with standard spray sprinkler heads.


Switching from traditional sprinkler heads to drip irrigation offers several key benefits:


  • Water Savings: Drip systems typically use up to 50% less water than conventional sprinklers.
  • Healthier Plants: Consistent, slow watering at the roots leads to stronger, deeper root systems and less risk of disease.
  • Reduced Weeds and Runoff: By targeting water only where plants need it, you reduce water waste and help suppress weed growth.
  • Lower Utility Bills: Efficient water usage means real savings on your monthly bills.


How a Head-to-Drip Changeout Works


A head-to-drip changeout is the process of retrofitting your existing irrigation zones by removing conventional spray heads and installing drip lines or emitters in their place. Here’s how Oberg Irrigation handles this upgrade for Utah gardens:


  • System Assessment: Our team evaluates your existing irrigation layout and plant needs to design a customized drip solution tailored to your yard’s unique requirements.
  • Careful Conversion: We replace sprinkler heads with professional-grade drip components, ensuring precise water delivery for flower beds, veggie patches, shrubs, or other landscape features.
  • Testing and Optimization: After installation, we test the system for consistent pressure and coverage, making any necessary adjustments for peak efficiency.
  • Education and Support: We show you how to monitor and maintain your new drip system, ensuring lasting performance.


Who Benefits Most from Head-to-Drip Changeouts?


If you have established planting beds, vegetable gardens, or shrubbery, a head-to-drip changeout can revolutionize your landscape maintenance. These systems are ideal for areas with dense plantings or where water conservation is a top priority. They’re also a great solution for sloped yards or locations that see frequent water run-off with traditional sprinklers.


Oberg Irrigation has helped hundreds of Utah homeowners—just like you—make the switch to smarter watering. Many find that their gardens not only look better but are easier to care for and cost less to maintain.
