Irrigation Systems

What's included

  • System design & install
  • Smart controllers
  • Drip irrigation
  • Seasonal maintenance

Even with plenty of rain most years, Chicago summers bring hot, dry stretches that stress lawns and gardens. A well-designed irrigation system delivers the right amount of water where it's needed, without wasting it on sidewalks and driveways or leaving you to drag hoses around the yard.

Designed around your landscape

Lawns, planting beds, and containers all need different amounts of water. We divide the system into zones by plant type, sun exposure, and soil, and choose the right sprinkler heads or drip lines for each zone so every area gets what it needs.

Smart controllers

Smart controllers adjust watering schedules based on local weather, skipping cycles after rain and adding water during heat waves. They save water, protect plants from overwatering, and can usually be managed from your phone.

Drip irrigation for beds and containers

Drip irrigation delivers water slowly at the base of each plant, which reduces evaporation and keeps foliage dry to help prevent disease. It's ideal for perennial beds, shrubs, vegetable gardens, and container plantings.

Seasonal maintenance

In spring the system is started up, checked for winter damage, and adjusted for the season. Before the first hard freeze, typically in October or early November, the lines need to be blown out so water left inside doesn't freeze and crack pipes and fittings.

Common Questions

Have a question we didn't cover? Call us at (773) 456-1537.

When should I winterize my irrigation system?

Before the first hard freeze, which in the Chicago area is typically in October or early November.

Can drip irrigation be added to an existing system?

Often, yes. Drip zones can frequently be added for beds and containers. We'll check your current setup during a consultation.

Will an irrigation system increase my water use?

Not necessarily. A well-designed system with a smart controller often uses less water than hand watering or hose-end sprinklers, because it waters at the right time and only where it's needed.
