Irrigation system retrofit and upgrade services

Irrigation System Retrofit & Upgrades

Your existing system can perform like new. We upgrade controllers, nozzles, and valves to cut water waste without full replacement.

Upgrade Components, Not the Entire System

Full system replacement costs $4,000-$8,000 for most properties. Strategic upgrades achieve similar water savings for a fraction of that cost. We assess your current system and recommend specific improvements that deliver the best return.

Smart controllers adjust watering automatically based on weather data—no manual changes needed. High-efficiency nozzles apply water 30% slower than standard heads, reducing runoff on slopes and clay soils. Drip conversion eliminates overspray in garden beds.

Most retrofit projects complete in one day. Your existing pipes, wiring, and valve boxes stay in place—we upgrade the components that matter most.

Typical Return on Investment

A $500-$1,200 smart controller upgrade typically pays for itself in 2-3 years through water savings. Properties with large landscapes see faster payback.
