Irrigation Systems in Innisfil, ON
Custom sprinkler and drip irrigation designed to keep your lawn green without the guesswork.
Why Install an Irrigation System?
You're tired of dragging hoses around every evening. You forget to water for a few days and suddenly half the lawn's brown. An irrigation system takes that whole routine off your plate. Set it once, and your yard gets exactly what it needs - no more, no less.
We install systems across Innisfil and into Barrie and Stroud. Sprinkler zones for turf, drip lines for garden beds, rain sensors so you're not watering in a storm. It's not just convenience. You'll use less water overall because the system delivers it right where roots need it, not all over your driveway.
If you're planning a new Landscape Installation, now's the time to think irrigation. Running lines before sod or plantings go in saves you from tearing things up later.
Sprinkler Systems vs. Drip Irrigation
Sprinklers work great for lawns. Pop-up heads cover big areas fast, and you can zone them so the sunny front yard gets more water than the shaded side. We use adjustable nozzles so every corner gets even coverage without overspray onto walkways.
Drip irrigation is different. It's a network of tubing with emitters that drip water slowly right at the root zone. Perfect for flower beds, vegetable gardens, or shrub borders. You waste almost nothing to evaporation, and plants grow healthier because the foliage stays dry. We often combine both systems in one property - sprinklers for grass, drip lines for everything else.
Smart Controllers and Seasonal Adjustments
A timer's fine, but a smart controller actually thinks. It checks the weather forecast, skips a cycle if rain's coming, and adjusts run times based on temperature. You can control it from your phone, so if you're away for the weekend and see a heatwave rolling in, you bump up the schedule in two taps.
We also handle seasonal service. Spring startup means turning the water back on, checking for leaks, adjusting heads. Fall winterization blows all the lines clear so nothing cracks over winter. Most clients in Innisfil book both as a package. If you've got ongoing Landscape Maintenance with us, we fold irrigation checks right into those visits.
What to Expect During Installation
We start with a site walk. Measure your property, note sun exposure, check water pressure at the hose bib. Then we map out zones - typically one zone covers 1,500 to 2,500 square feet depending on your pressure. Each zone runs independently so you're not trying to water the whole yard at once and ending up with weak spray.
Installation means trenching shallow lines (usually 6 to 10 inches deep), laying pipe, installing valves and heads, then connecting everything to a controller mounted in your garage or basement. We test every zone before we backfill, so you know it works. Most residential jobs in Alcona or Cookstown take one to three days depending on lot size.
If you're doing Hardscaping like a patio or walkway, let us know. We'll route lines around those areas or stub out a connection for a future garden bed. Coordination up front saves you from jackhammering later.
Serving Innisfil and Surrounding Areas
We're based in Innisfil and we know the soil here. Sandy spots drain fast and need shorter, more frequent cycles. Clay holds moisture longer, so we space things out. We've installed systems in Lefroy, Belle Ewart, and all through the lakeshore properties where wind and sun can dry things out quick.
Whether you need a simple four-zone sprinkler setup or a full property system with drip lines and a weather-based controller, we'll design it to fit your yard and your budget. Call TGD Construction for a free estimate. We'll walk your property, answer your questions, and give you a clear quote with no surprises.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to install an irrigation system in Innisfil?
Most residential systems run between $2,500 and $6,000 depending on lot size and how many zones you need. A small front yard with two or three zones might be closer to $2,000, while a larger property with separate drip lines for gardens can push $8,000 or more. We give free estimates, so you'll know the exact number before we start.
Can I add drip irrigation to my existing sprinkler system?
Yes. We tap into your existing valve manifold and run a dedicated zone for drip lines. You'll need a pressure regulator and filter on that zone because drip emitters work at lower pressure than spray heads. It's a straightforward add-on, usually takes half a day to a full day depending on how much garden bed you're covering.
Do I need to winterize my irrigation system every fall?
In Innisfil, yes. Freezing temps will crack pipes and fittings if there's water left inside. We blow out all the lines with compressed air in late October or early November. It takes about an hour and costs a fraction of what you'd pay to dig up and replace burst pipes in spring. Most clients book it as an annual service.
