About Controlled Rain

Controlled Rain was founded by Ken Wells, a hardworking irrigation professional with a deep respect for quality, relationships, and doing things the right way.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship. A Future of Smart Solutions.

With over 50 years of hands-on experience in the field, Ken built Controlled Rain into a trusted name in Arizona irrigation, one satisfied customer at a time.

Today, Controlled Rain is led by Ken’s son, Josh Wells, who grew up in the industry and carries the same commitment to honest service, high standards, and long-term customer care. While the tools and technology have evolved, the values haven’t changed.

“My dad taught me that irrigation isn’t just about pipes and valves. It’s about showing up, solving problems, and standing behind your work.”
— Josh Wells, Owner

What began as a family-run operation focusing on reliable repairs and efficient installs is now growing into a smarter water management company. One that helps homeowners thrive in the Arizona climate while using less water, not more.

While we still fix leaks, replace timers, and build drip systems. We are also helping clients upgrade to smart controllers, hydrozoned layouts, and water-saving plans designed for long-term plant health and efficiency.

Controlled Rain is where experience meets innovation.
And we’re just getting started.
