At SPRAY IT FORWARD, we’re not just another irrigation company — we’re the rebellion against overpriced, underdelivered lawn care in Des Moines.
Founded by Taylor Makohounik, a young but battle-tested irrigation specialist, Spray It Forward exists to raise the bar in an industry dominated by mega-firms that cut corners, overcharge, and cycle through crews like fast food. We’ve seen firsthand how A+ Lawn & Landscape operates — high prices, bad service, and a workforce that’s more about turnover than talent. We’re not here to play by their rules. We’re here to outwork, outserve, and outclass them.
Taylor brings years of experience, an unmatched eye for detail, and a no-BS approach to every yard we touch. He’s the kind of guy who shows up early, dressed for the job, ready to get his hands dirty, and actually cares about the results. Our crew is small, sharp, and honest — real people delivering real results.
We specialize in irrigation only — installations, repairs, seasonal upkeep, and especially backflow prevention testing, our #1 priority to keep your water safe and your system legal. No fluff. No upsells. Just clean, efficient work at a fair price.
You deserve better. Your lawn deserves better. And Des Moines deserves a company that respects the community it serves.
That’s why we Spray It Forward.

Key features to enhance your journey
Irrigation Design & Install
When we design a custom irrigation system, we take into account all areas of your yard, including landscape beds. Our licensed professionals will assess how much shade or sun each zone receives and plan accordingly. We can set each zone to water at different times and at different amounts.

Irrigation Maintenance & Repairs
A broken sprinkler system means that your lawn and landscape is not receiving the proper amount of water, which means it can suffer and will not be as healthy as possible. We work to maintain and repair all brands and types of irrigation and sprinkler systems. No matter what is wrong with your irrigation, we will diagnose and assess what happened and come up with a plan to fix it. We often repair broken sprinkler heads, busted pipes, or issues with low water pressure.

Irrigitaion Winterization
To prepare your sprinklers and irrigation for winter, we will turn off the water going to the system, blow out the pipes with compressed air, and drain the pumps. Removing the water prevents damage from frozen water expanding and breaking the pipes.

"I thought my sprinklers were broken — turns out they were just depressed from being installed by the other guys. Taylor pulled up in style, fixed it in 20 minutes, and now my lawn’s out here glowing like it’s on a skincare routine."

What makes Spray It Forward different from other irrigation companies?
We're local, honest, and laser-focused on irrigation only. No fluff, no overpriced extras. Just real people who show up, do clean work, and care about your lawn like it's our own.
How is it cheaper and better than the big guys?
Because we keep it real. You’re not paying for layers of management, flashy trucks, or overpriced markups. We pay the same for parts that you would — sometimes even less thanks to our wholesale connections — and we pass that savings directly to you. No hidden fees, no upcharges, no nonsense. We run lean with almost zero overhead (besides our expensive and sexy uniforms) and put all our energy into doing the job right the first time. We’re not a faceless company — we’re just a tight crew of highly skilled handymen who know irrigation better than anyone and actually care about doing clean, efficient work. Big companies do volume. We do quality. And that’s the difference.
Do you offer free estimates?
Absolutely. We’ll come check out your system or project and give you a no-pressure, no-BS quote. Straightforward and honest — always.
What areas do you service?
We proudly serve all of Des Moines and the surrounding metro. If you’re nearby and need help, just reach out — we’ll make it work.
How often should backflow prevention testing be done?
At least once a year — and it’s required by Iowa law. We make it simple, fast, and certified, with proper paperwork for your city.
Can you repair systems you didn’t install?
100%. Whether your system is old, broken, or badly installed by another company, we can fix it up and get it running right.
What should I do to prepare for winter?
Book a winterization service! We blow out your system to prevent freeze damage, which can save you hundreds in repairs come spring.
