Sprinkler system design and installation

A good sprinkler system is where a green yard and a lower water bill both come from. We design and install systems zoned for what each area actually needs — lawn separate from beds, sun separate from shade — with head-to-head coverage and conservation products from Hunter and Rain Bird.

We've been designing and repairing sprinklers in this valley since 2007.

Trenching for sprinklers

Trenching for sprinklers — one of our own jobs.

Is this right for you?

A good fit if…

  • You're landscaping a new build.
  • Your old system has dry spots, soggy spots and sprays the sidewalk.
  • You're converting part of the lawn and need drip for the new beds.

How we do it

Step by step.

  1. 1

    Design the zones

    Lawn, beds and trees each on their own zones, sized for your water pressure and source (culinary or secondary).

  2. 2

    Trench and lay lines

    Mains and laterals trenched in before sod or rock, with sleeves under any walks or drives.

  3. 3

    Heads and drip

    Head-to-head coverage on lawn; drip to the roots in beds.

  4. 4

    Controller and walk-through

    The controller is set for early-morning watering, and we show you how to adjust it by season.

Water rules and water sources here

Many Salt Lake Valley homes have both culinary water and secondary (pressurized irrigation) water. In Riverton, secondary water typically runs from about May 1 to October 15, and residents are asked to shut their secondary valve off by March 15. A system has to be designed for the water you actually have.

Conservation products from Hunter and Rain Bird can qualify for local water-district rebates — often worth a meaningful share of product and labor. We'll point you to the current ones.

What it costs

What moves the price.

We don’t give prices over the phone, because a number for a yard we haven’t seen is a guess. Jason walks it with you and you get a written estimate — free, with no obligation.

    “Our full front yard redo, sprinkler system overhaul, and backyard design came to life in one week only!”

    “I have worked with numerous contractors over 30 years and they are the best.”

    MP Lawn Care & Lighting did outstanding work! They installed railing on my exterior steps and porch, xeriscaped my yard and park strips, and redid my sprinkler system. I have worked with numerous contractors over 30 years and they are the best. They are friendly, easy to work with, helpful with design, and honest. Their work is of the highest…

Questions

What people ask us.

Should sprinklers go in before sod?

Always. Lines are trenched in first so nothing finished gets dug up.

Do smart controllers help?

Yes — scheduling by weather and season is one of the easiest ways to cut water use, and some qualify for rebates.

We work across Riverton, Herriman, South Jordan, Draper, Bluffdale, West Jordan and the rest of the Salt Lake Valley. Something else on your mind? Call 801-608-7207.
