Install, upgrade, repair, and seasonal irrigation services for commercial properties, with water-efficiency audits and zone-by-zone documentation to keep your system running efficiently.
Mid-season audits run through August — lock in fall blowout before the schedule fills.
Every commercial irrigation program starts with a clear look at your property, existing system, and watering needs. From audit and design through installation, tuning, and seasonal service, each step is planned to keep your system efficient, reliable, and easier to manage year-round.
We inspect existing zones, pressure, coverage, and system performance, then identify repair or upgrade needs before defining the scope.
Free
We map zones, controller settings, rain and soil sensors, and watering schedules around your property’s layout and needs.
1 week
Our crew installs trenching, heads, valves, wiring, and controllers while coordinating work to minimize disruption around the property.
1–2 weeks
We calibrate each zone, adjust schedules by plant type, and integrate weather-based controls before the system is ready for operation.
Final day
Spring activation, mid-season adjustments, and fall winterization keep your irrigation system maintained throughout the season.
Annual
Your irrigation scope is documented before work begins, with the system components, controls, calibration, and seasonal service clearly defined. You’ll know what’s included for your property before the crew gets started.
Depends on acreage, zone count, and smart-controller features. Smart systems typically cut water use around 30%, often recouping costs within 2–4 seasons. Every quote starts with a free audit.
Your irrigation system needs different adjustments as Minnesota moves from spring through fall. Seasonal activation, mid-season tuning, and winterization help keep watering schedules aligned with actual conditions while catching system issues before they waste water.
Avg. water use reduction
Best for: getting the smart controller calibrated before peak season hits.
Avg. annual savings documented
Best for: catching drift before it shows up on the August water bill.
Plant health vs. over-watered turf
Best for: protecting the system, and this year’s plantings, through a Minnesota winter.
All three visits run under one seasonal contract — one schedule, one invoice, no surprise calls when an early freeze hits in October.
Smart controllers, soil sensors, and zone-by-zone auditing adjust watering around actual property conditions instead of relying on a fixed schedule. Each season, we document system performance and compare water use against prior readings so your property team can see where water is being used and where savings are showing up.
Wi-Fi controllers use weather forecasts and soil moisture data to skip watering when conditions don’t require it. The average commercial property we retrofit sees a 30% water bill drop in the first season, measured against the prior year’s meter readings.
“They pulled our water bills, ran the math, and showed me how the system would pay for itself in 18 months. Hit that target in 14.” — Property manager · Twin Cities office park
Hunter Hydrawise and Rain Bird Wi-Fi controllers use live weather data to skip watering before storms and adjust schedules during heat waves. Each zone can be programmed and monitored individually.
Hunter / Rain Bird certified
Every zone is pressure-tested, coverage is mapped, and flow rates are documented. Inefficiencies are flagged with cost details, giving your property team a written report for ownership.
Every zone measured & logged
From repairs and upgrades to zone additions and full system overhauls, we service all major commercial irrigation brands, including systems we didn’t install.
Any brand · any system · one crew
See irrigation systems installed, upgraded, and serviced across commercial properties in the Twin Cities. From smart controllers and drip irrigation to turf and planting-bed coverage, each system is configured around the property’s specific watering needs.
Every commercial irrigation program comes with documented system details your property team can reference. Zone performance, water use, and controller information are recorded so you have a clear picture of how your system is performing.
Pressure, coverage, and flow rate are tested and logged by zone before we recommend a single upgrade. You get the written report, not just our word.
We pull your prior-year meter readings and show the actual before-and-after results, giving your property team a clear record of water use.
Hunter Hydrawise, Rain Bird, and Rachio systems can be installed, programmed, and serviced by technicians certified on the platforms you already use.
Ask for your zone audit report and prior-year water bill comparison — we hand over both in writing, no exceptions.
Get quick answers about commercial irrigation winterization, water savings, smart controllers, system service, and installation timelines. These are the details property managers commonly want clarified before scheduling irrigation work.
In Minnesota, systems should be blown out by mid-October, before the first hard freeze. We recommend scheduling winterization in September to guarantee a slot — lines are cleared with compressed air to prevent freeze damage.
A properly designed system with smart controllers typically cuts water use 30-40% compared to manual watering. Weather-based adjustments alone can save thousands of gallons a season by skipping cycles ahead of rain.
Yes. We service all major irrigation brands and system types — repairs, upgrades, zone additions, or a full overhaul — regardless of who installed it originally.
They use local weather data, soil moisture sensors, and plant-type programming to adjust watering automatically. We install and configure Hunter Hydrawise, Rachio, and Rain Bird ESP-TM2 for commercial sites.
Timelines depend on property size and system complexity — a typical commercial install runs 3-7 business days. We schedule around your business hours to minimize disruption to tenants and traffic.

The entire team was amazing! They were on time every day, very professional. Nick and Brandon are very knowledgeable, easy to work with and extremely customer-oriented.”
