Sprinkler System Installation
A lawn sprinkler system has one job: put the right amount of water evenly across your grass without soaking the sidewalk. Most brown spots, soggy patches and high water bills trace back to heads that are spaced poorly, mismatched, or fighting water pressure they weren’t designed for.
We start by measuring the lawn areas, checking slopes and shade, and testing your water pressure. That tells us how many heads each zone can run and whether spray heads or rotors fit each area better.
Heads are laid out for head-to-head coverage — each head’s spray reaching the next — which is what eliminates dry rings. We position them to keep water on the grass and off patios, driveways and siding.
Lawn areas with different sun exposure or slopes get their own zones, so the shady side isn’t overwatered to keep the sunny side green. A controller (standard or smart) runs each zone on its own schedule.
Installation quality matters long after the trenches are filled: proper pipe depth, sensible valve placement, and heads set at the right height so mowers don’t clip them.
For planting beds, shrubs and trees we use drip instead of spray; see Drip Irrigation Installation. For planning a whole-yard system, see Irrigation System Installation.
How it works
Our Sprinkler System Installation Process
Here’s how we install a lawn sprinkler system.
Site visit and system design
We measure the lawn, check slope, soil and water pressure, and lay out heads and zones. You’ll get an estimate and plan, typically within 1–3 days.
Installation and zone setup
We trench, set valves and heads, and build zones by sun and lawn area. A typical lawn install takes 1–3 days, and we protect existing landscaping as we work.
Testing and programming
We pressure-test, adjust spray patterns, confirm head-to-head coverage, program the controller and walk you through using it.
FAQ
Sprinkler System Installation FAQs
Common sprinkler system questions.
Should I install a new system or repair my old one?
If your valves and main lines are in good shape, replacing heads and adjusting zones may solve the problem. If coverage is bad across the lawn or parts keep failing, a new layout is usually the better long-term investment.
Will a new sprinkler system lower my water bill?
A well-designed system often uses less water because coverage is even and runoff is reduced, and a smart controller can skip unnecessary cycles. Actual savings depend on your current setup and habits.
How long does installation take?
Most lawn systems take 1–3 days depending on size and number of zones.
Will it damage my lawn or landscaping?
Installation leaves narrow trench lines, which we backfill and tidy. Within a few weeks they’re hard to spot.
Can you install it during new construction or a remodel?
Yes — that’s the ideal time. Installing sprinklers before sod or hardscape means clean pipe routes and heads placed for the final layout.
What happens after installation?
We program the controller with you and explain seasonal adjustments, including the fall blow-out before freezing weather.
