🛡️ Patented Sprinkler Head Protection
⏱️ Installs in 30 Seconds — No Tools Required
Protect large residential and commercial sprinkler heads (up to 5″) with a patented, impact-absorbing protector that installs in 30 seconds. Built to take mower, trimmer, snowplows, snow blowers hits as well as vehicles so the sprinkler head does not.
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 8 to 10 inches around your sprinkler head to make room for the guard.

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.

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.

Here’s the quick rule:
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
