Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.

To calculate the square footage for a bid, measure the dimensions of the area requiring irrigation. For irregular shapes, break them down into smaller, measurable sections (rectangles, squares, circles) and sum their areas. This will give you the total square footage to apply the per-square-foot pricing.

Installations are typically on the higher end due to larger property sizes, complex landscape designs requiring more zones, advanced features like smart controllers or drip irrigation, difficult soil conditions (e.g., rocky terrain), and the use of premium, durable materials or specialized components.

While some companies may charge per zone, with reported prices up to $2,200 per zone for premium installations, the more common and recommended approach for comprehensive bidding is to charge per square foot, with a range of $0.88–$2.45 per square foot. This method often provides a more consistent pricing structure for varying property sizes.

While direct costs for repairs are usually covered under warranty for new installations, it's wise to build a small buffer into your overall pricing to account for minor call-backs or unexpected adjustments during the initial operational period. Labor for sprinkler system repairs typically ranges from $60 to $115 per hour.

Irrigation professionals usually charge between $45 to $100 per hour. For specific repair work, labor costs can range from $60 to $115 per hour, depending on the complexity of the repair and the company's pricing structure.
