Melanie MoralesIf your lawn or garden is in bad shape, you may need to upgrade your sprinkler system. Don’t worry, we’ve made a list of companies that install the best sprinkler systems in Edmonton to give your lawn the care that it needs!
These companies have the best offerings and installation services for automated sprinkler systems. We answer some FAQs you may have about sprinkler systems as well.
How much are sprinkler system installations in Edmonton?
There are a bunch of factors that affect the cost of sprinkler system installations. Because different lawns and gardens have specific watering needs, it is hard to come up with an estimate without having an irrigation specialist take a look at the yard.
The coverage for lawns or gardens are broken up into zones, in which sprinkler systems are installed. Ultimately, the number of zones needed on a property determine a large chunk of the cost of the entire service, on top of labor costs.
On average, zone costs begin at $500. The number of zones to be installed depends on the size and watering needs of your lawn or garden.
With this in mind, having a larger lawn does not necessarily mean using up more zones (and in turn, racking up a higher bill) than smaller, more cramped areas. Other factors come into play such as obstacles, different landscapes, and types of equipment used.
There are also other options that may add to the cost. Some of these are different types of sprinkler heads from different manufacturers, lines and valves, timers and controllers, and different irrigation options such as drip lines.
And as expected, cost of water, electricity, and repairs also determine long-term costs. Regular maintenance can help keep the system running smoothly and minimize additional repair services.

Since 2015, In-Depth Irrigation has been installing sprinklers using the most advanced methods. They also offer smart automated systems to help clients cut down on water usage.
We think it’s good that they use a vibratory plow to install their systems, ensuring minimal ground disturbance so that your lawn will look as good as it was in just 10 days. This technology gives more precise and faster installations.
We also like that customers have the option to choose their advanced smart system. This system is connected to the Weather Network and can easily be controlled through an app.
Because it is connected to a weather service, the system automatically determines the optimal watering times based on the conditions wherever you may be.
Finally, it’s worth noting that they provide a three-year warranty on Rainbird materials, two-year in their timers, and one-year on labor. They also offer free online estimates.
Pros
- Uses vibratory plows to reduce lawn damage
- Offers automatic smart system
- Offers warranties on materials, timers, and labor
- Open all week
- Offers free online estimates
Cons
- Offers installations for residential clients only
- Warranty lasts only one year for labor
Customer Reviews
Functioning once again
“We had an issue with our controller on our existing system that was installed by another company. I was going through Google reaching out to various companies looking for help. In Depth stepped up even though it wasn’t their system. By the next day I had a functioning system once again. Thanks for the help.”––Shawn Kosowan, Google Reviews
Could not be happier
“We were very impressed with In-Depth irrigation. We contacted Dane on the long weekend and had email conversations that same day. We needed some rather routine maintenance on our sprinkler and drip system and they did this the next day after agreeing on cost which was very reasonable. The work was done quickly and efficiently with a team of three people. Could not be happier.”––Brian Rothwell, Google Reviews

Friendly and prompt service
“Excellent service. I have dealt with Irrigation Imperium three times and each time have been impressed with the friendly and prompt service. They performed a fall shut-off of our sprinkler system and then in the spring came back to help us with two separate repairs that were needed to get the system fully functional. I highly recommend the Irrigation Imperium team.”––Derek Whitehouse-Strong, Google Reviews
Ensured everything was running smoothly
“Just had them come and test my underground sprinkler system…we bought a house in the winter with one already installed. Argun was highly professional and helped show me how to program the system, fixed a leaky connector and replaced some broken tips and ensured everything was running smoothly. I highly recommend them. Thank you.”––S Hogan, Google Reviews
