Sprinkler & Irrigation Systems FAQ for New York City Homeowners

How often should New York City homeowners get sprinkler & irrigation systems?
Given New York City's harsh winters with freeze-thaw cycles damaging masonry, most homeowners benefit from sprinkler & irrigation systems at least once a year. Winter ice dam formation on flat roofs often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in New York City most need sprinkler & irrigation systems?
Brownstones and townhouses and Pre-war apartment buildings are the most common home types in New York City and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How much does a sprinkler system cost?
A typical residential system runs $2,500–$6,000 installed depending on yard size, number of zones, and local labor rates. Smart controllers add $100–$300 but pay for themselves in water savings.
Do I need to winterize my sprinkler system?
In climates that freeze, yes. Winterization (blow-out) removes water from the lines and heads to prevent freeze damage. This should be done before the first hard freeze each year.
Can an irrigation system be added to an existing landscape?
Yes, retrofit systems can be installed in established landscapes with minimal disruption using directional boring equipment to avoid trenching through planted areas.
What's a smart irrigation controller?
Smart controllers connect to local weather data and adjust watering schedules automatically — skipping irrigation when rain is expected and adjusting for temperature and season. They typically reduce water use by 20–50%.
