Irrigation FAQ

Straight answers to the questions we hear most from Western Mass homeowners.

How much does a new irrigation system cost in Western MA?

A standard residential install for a quarter-acre to half-acre lawn typically runs $3,000-$6,500 depending on zones, head selection, controller, and any drip or garden-bed extensions. Custom jobs or larger properties scale from there. We give firm written quotes with zone diagrams before any dig.

When should I start up my irrigation system in spring?

Mid-April to early May in Western Mass, once overnight temperatures stay consistently above freezing. Too early and you risk freeze damage; too late and your lawn struggles through the first dry spell. Book start-ups now — we run route-based scheduling to keep costs down.

When do I need a fall blowout?

Before the first hard freeze — typically mid-October through early November. If water is left in the pipes it can freeze, expand, and crack fittings. One missed blowout can turn into thousands in spring repairs. We book a week ahead of forecasted freezes.

How much does a sprinkler head repair cost?

Single head replacement typically $45-$95. Broken line repairs $125-$250. Leaking valves $150-$300. Most repairs are same-visit. We charge hourly after the first half-hour for complex jobs — no surprise bills.

What is a smart irrigation controller and is it worth it?

Smart controllers (like Rachio or Hunter Hydrawise) watch local weather and skip watering when it's rained or is about to. They cut water bills 30-50% versus timer-only controllers. The hardware pays for itself in 1-2 seasons on most properties. We install and program them.

Will installing irrigation damage my lawn?

Minimal. We use vibratory plows that slice the sod and tuck the pipe underneath — the lawn heals in 2-3 weeks. Much less damaging than trenching. We fill, roll, and clean up as we go.

Do you service existing systems we didn't install?

Yes. We work on Rain Bird, Hunter, Toro, Irritrol and most major brands. If your original installer is no longer around, we can pick up service without complaint.
