Landscaping
Irrigation & Sprinklers
A green lawn without dragging a hose around. Zoned sprinklers and drip lines that water the right amount, at the right time, automatically.
Hand watering is either too much or too little, at the wrong time of day. A properly designed irrigation system waters each part of the yard on its own schedule: lawn zones with rotors and spray heads, garden beds with drip lines, all controlled from a timer that adjusts for rain. Groundwork Landscaping designs, installs and services systems for lawns and gardens.
What's included
- System design by zone, matching heads to sun, shade, lawn and beds.
- Rotors and spray heads for even coverage without soaking the house or driveway.
- Drip irrigation for beds, shrubs and trees, delivering water at the roots.
- A smart or rain-sensing controller so the system skips rainy days.
- Backflow prevention, to protect your drinking water, where the local utility requires it.
- Clean installation, with lines pulled in and the lawn put back neatly.
Service through the year
- Spring start-up. Turn on, check every zone, adjust heads and set the schedule.
- Repairs. Broken heads, leaks, valve problems and coverage gaps.
- Mid-season tune-up. Adjust timing for summer heat and restrictions.
- Fall blowout. Lines cleared with compressed air before the first hard freeze.
Water less, grow more
Water early in the morning, deeply and less often, so roots grow deep. Follow any watering restrictions in your area. Pair irrigation with new sod or garden beds, and we'll mark every head before aeration.
What affects the cost of irrigation & sprinklers
Irrigation systems are priced mostly by the number of zones, which depends on the size of the property and how many separate lawn and bed areas it has. Drip lines, the type of controller, backflow requirements and boring under walkways or driveways affect the total. Start-ups, repairs and blowouts are priced as separate service visits.
Irrigation & Sprinklers questions
How long does it take to install a sprinkler system?
Most residential systems are installed in one to two days, depending on the number of zones and the size of the property.
Will installation wreck my lawn?
No. Lines are pulled in with narrow trenching equipment, and the small slits close up within a few weeks.
Why does my system need a fall blowout?
Water left in the lines can freeze, crack pipes and damage valves and heads. Blowing them out with air prevents that.
Can you repair a system you didn't install?
Yes. We service most common residential systems, including leaks, broken heads, controllers and zone problems.
Do I need a backflow preventer?
Many water utilities require one on irrigation systems to protect the drinking water supply. We check what your utility requires.
Can I control the system from my phone?
Yes, with a smart controller. It adjusts watering to the weather, lets you run zones from your phone and helps you follow watering restrictions.
How much water will a sprinkler system use?
A well-designed, zoned system with a rain sensor often uses less water than hand watering, because it waters early, evenly and only when needed.
Can drip lines water my vegetable garden?
Yes. Drip lines are ideal for vegetable gardens and raised beds, delivering water to the roots without wetting the leaves.
