The Sprinkler-Guard 5″ brings the original patented protection to big heads: large rotors, commercial pop-ups, and oversized spray heads up to 5 inches across. The flexible ABS is designed to absorb bumps from mowers, trimmers, and even snow equipment, where concrete donuts crack, break, and sink. The disc inhibits grass and weed growth so the head stays visible and sprays the way it should. Installs in about 30 seconds per head, no tools needed. Built for high-traffic lawns, HOAs, parks, and sports fields. Running standard pop-ups too? The original 3-Inch Sprinkler-Guard handles those.

Clear the grass

Clear the grass 8 to 10 inches around your sprinkler head to make room for the guard.

Slide In

Insert the Sprinkler-Guard tube alongside the head and press the disc flush with the ground. For maximum protection, the sprinkler head should be 1"-2" below the top of the tube section.

Done. You're protected.

Pack the soil firmly around the Sprinkler-Guard. For backfill, use sand. For best results, we recommend fish gravel which locks the sprinkler head in place and creates a clean, finished look.

Common Questions

Will it fit my sprinkler heads?

Here’s the quick rule:

  • Measure your sprinkler head across the widest part (straight across the top).
  • If it’s up to 5 inches across, the 5-inch Sprinkler-Guard fits: this is ideal for large residential rotary heads, commercial-style heads, and oversized pop-ups.
  • If your head is 3 inches or smaller, choose the original Sprinkler-Guard.
How long does it take to install?

About 30 seconds per head once you’ve cleared the grass. Clear about 8 to 10 inches around your sprinkler head, slide the Sprinkler-Guard in alongside it, and pack the soil around it. A 20-pack takes most homeowners an afternoon for a full yard.

Does grass grow through it?

No, grass typically does not grow through it.The sprinkler head guard is designed to inhibit grass and weed growth around the sprinkler head. That keeps the area clear so:

  • You can always find the heads quickly
  • The head stays unblocked for proper spray pattern and coverage
  • You spend less time trimming and digging out overgrown heads

One caveat: if soil and thatch build up over time (or the guard is installed too deep), you can still get some growth creeping over the top, but the guard’s purpose is to prevent growth around and into the head area.

What happens when the sprinkler runs?

The sprinkler pops up right through the center opening and sprays normally. When it retracts, the guard keeps protecting it. Doesn’t interfere with spray pattern or coverage at all.

How many do I need?

Count your large heads and rotors on the property, then buy the pack that covers that number with a small buffer.Most residential yards have fewer big heads than small ones, so a 10-pack or 20-pack is usually enough. If it’s a bigger property, the 30-pack tends to be the best value.
