Eight Services, One Healthy System
Everything on this page is a piece of the same machine. A residential irrigation system has a water source, a backflow device, valves, buried lines, heads, and a controller telling it all what to do. Our services cover that machine across its whole life: designing and installing it properly, redesigning the layout when the yard changes, repairing it when a component fails, waking it up correctly each spring, keeping it in tune through the middle of the season, testing the backflow device the City requires every year, upgrading the controller when a smarter one earns its keep, and shutting the whole thing down safely before Alberta freeze-up.
Below is what each service actually involves, and how to tell which one your yard is asking for.

Installation: the Decision You Make Once
Lawn sprinkler installation is the big one. We measure your water pressure and flow at the tap, zone the yard by what's growing where, space the heads for head-to-head coverage, plumb in backflow protection, and finish with a controller programmed for the season. Poly pipe goes in with a vibratory plow, so the lawn heals in a couple of weeks instead of looking like a trench ran through it. You need this service if you're hand-watering to keep grass alive, if you've got fresh sod or a new build that needs establishment watering, or if your water bill says the hose method isn't working. Most installs take one to two days.

Repair: When Something Already Broke
Sprinkler repair is for the system you already own, whoever installed it. Dead zones, heads that mist or geyser, a valve that won't shut off, a soggy patch that hints at a cracked lateral, a controller throwing faults. We diagnose in sequence rather than swapping parts on a hunch, quote the fix in writing, and verify it under real running pressure before we leave. Call for this one the moment a symptom shows up. Irrigation faults never heal on their own, and a leak that runs all summer costs far more than the visit that would have caught it.

The Seasonal Pair: Spring Start-Up and Fall Blowout
These two bracket every Calgary season, and they matter more here than almost anywhere. Spring start-up brings the system online gently: we pressurize slowly so trapped air doesn't hammer the valves, run every zone hunting for winter damage, straighten and raise heads, and program the controller for the months ahead. We open the season in April and run start-ups through into May, once hard overnight frost is out of the picture, so book early and we'll take the first safe window.
The fall blowout is the non-negotiable one. Regulated compressed air pushes every drop of water out of the lines, zone by zone, and the backflow assembly gets drained and protected. Anything left wet will freeze, expand, and split pipe underground over an Alberta winter. Book it for late September or October, before the first hard freeze, and book early, because cold snaps don't wait for the schedule to clear. If your system got shut off but never blown out, it is not winterized, no matter what the previous owner said.

Redesign: When the Yard Outgrew the System
A redesign is for a system that works but no longer fits the yard around it. A new deck, a fence, mature trees, a re-sodded lawn, or grown-in garden beds all send water where it is no longer needed and starve the spots that need it, leaving you with dry rings and soggy patches at the same time that no schedule change ever fixes. Instead of tearing everything out, we rework the zones, heads, and schedule you already own so coverage is even again, keeping the buried mainline and sound valves. You want this one when landscaping changed the yard, or when a zone runs weak because it now feeds more heads than the pressure can carry.

The Efficiency Upgrade: Smart Controllers
A smart controller replaces the old dial timer with one that reads the weather: it skips watering after rain, scales back on cool days, and hands you the whole system in a phone app. It retrofits onto nearly any existing setup in under an hour. Worth it if your current timer waters in a downpour, if your summer bills run high, or if you just want to stop crouching in the garage to change a schedule.

Maintenance: Keeping It in Tune Between the Bookends
Seasonal maintenance is the visit in the middle. Start-up opens the system and blowout closes it, but the months in between are when a system quietly drifts out of alignment: heads sink or get clipped, nozzles clog, spray patterns creep off target, and the April schedule stops matching July weather. A maintenance visit covers head adjustments, nozzle cleaning, system inspection, leak detection, controller programming, and zone performance testing, so the drift gets corrected while each item is still an adjustment rather than a repair. Book it when the lawn has shown you a dry ring or an overspray line, or on a schedule if the property is a rental or an acreage nobody is watching day to day. Maintenance is quoted after we see the system.

Backflow Testing: the Yearly Compliance Check
Backflow testing is the one service the City of Calgary requires by bylaw. Every irrigation system ties into the same line that feeds your drinking water, and the device that stops lawn water from flowing back into that supply has to be tested each year when the system comes online. We run the test at spring start-up for a flat $130, confirm the device is holding, and file the result with the City so your address stays in good standing. You need it every season, and pairing it with your start-up means one booking instead of two.

Not Sure Which One You Need?
Match the symptom. No system at all, or hoses running constantly: installation. The yard changed and now waters unevenly no matter the schedule: redesign. A specific broken thing, like a dead zone or a geysering head: repair. It's spring and the system is off: start-up. It's fall and there's water in the lines: blowout. It's midsummer and coverage has gone patchy or the bill is creeping: maintenance. The City sent a backflow notice, or the system is coming online for the season: backflow testing. The timer is dumb and the bill is high: smart controller. And if it's genuinely ambiguous, call us and describe what you're seeing. Diagnosing over the phone costs you nothing, and if a visit is needed the assessment is free and the price to fix it arrives in writing before any work starts.

Getting To You
Where We Take Irrigation Calls
- Calgary, AB, all four quadrants, worked out of our own Calgary base
- Airdrie, AB, north, a straight run up the QE2
- Cochrane, AB, northwest in the Bow Valley, where Highway 1A meets Highway 22
- Chestermere, AB, east against the city limits, along the Trans-Canada
- Okotoks, AB, south past the city edge on Highway 2A, along the Sheep River
Between and around those sit the acreage belts of Rocky View County and Foothills County, and we take those calls too. Distance matters less than you would think: a crew already running a route through the north end is in Airdrie in minutes, and a job in Okotoks books the same way one in southeast Calgary does. Tell us where you are and we will tell you when we can be there.

Irrigation Services: Frequently Asked Questions
What irrigation services do you offer?
We install new lawn sprinkler systems, repair and redesign existing ones, run spring start-ups, handle fall winterization blowouts, test backflow devices, and do smart controller and WiFi upgrades. It's full-season residential irrigation, from the first install to the last blowout before freeze-up.
How much does irrigation work cost?
A typical installation averages $4,000. Fall blowouts run $60 for systems up to three zones, stepping up to $95 at thirteen zones and $5 per zone beyond that. Repairs and spring start-ups are $60 for arrival and the first hour, then $30 per half hour. Backflow testing is a flat $130. Redesigns, maintenance, and smart-controller work are quoted after we see the system, and every price is written and itemized before any work begins.
Do you service systems you didn't install?
Yes. We repair, maintain, and winterize existing residential irrigation systems of any make, not only the ones we put in the ground.
Do you cover Rocky View County and Foothills County, or only the City of Calgary?
Calgary and all four quadrants of the city, plus Airdrie to the north, Cochrane to the northwest, Chestermere to the east, and Okotoks to the south. The acreage belts of Rocky View County and Foothills County sit between and around those, and we take those calls too.
Are estimates free?
Yes. On-site estimates are free, written, and itemized. The price you approve is the price you pay, with no change mid-job.
