What Is Included in a Sprinkler System Installation?
A professional irrigation system installation from Wetroot covers every stage of the project — from the initial on-site consultation through to your first fully automated watering cycle. We serve homeowners across Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington, and the rest of the GTA.
Every residential sprinkler system we install is custom-designed to your property's specific layout, soil type, plant types, and water pressure. There is no one-size-fits-all template. What works for a corner lot in Brampton with clay soil is different from a narrow yard in Toronto with sandy loam.
On-Site Consultation
We walk your property, assess water pressure, sun exposure, soil, and plant types before designing your system.
Custom Zone Design
Each zone is calibrated for a specific area — lawn, beds, shrubs — so every part of your yard gets exactly what it needs.
Trenching & Pipe
We trench minimal-disruption runs, lay pressure-rated poly pipe, and restore your lawn as if we were never there.
Head Placement
Rotary heads, fixed sprays, and drip emitters placed for full coverage with zero dry spots and no runoff.
Smart Controller Setup
We install, wire, and configure your smart controller — Wi-Fi connected, weather-aware, and ready on your phone.
Full Walkthrough
Before we leave, we walk you through every zone, the controller app, and your seasonal schedule.
Why Choose Professional Irrigation System Installation?
DIY sprinkler kits exist, but they rarely account for water pressure variability across a property, proper head spacing to eliminate dry spots, or the zoning requirements that keep different plant types on different schedules. A poorly designed system can overwater some areas while starving others, damage foundations, and increase your water bill significantly.
Professional installation from Wetroot means your automatic watering system is engineered, not assembled. We pull permits where required, install pressure regulators on each zone, and set up weather-based scheduling so your system shuts off automatically during rain. Our customers typically see a 30–50% reduction in outdoor water use compared to manual hose watering.
How Much Does Sprinkler System Installation Cost in the GTA?
Most residential sprinkler system installations in the GTA fall between $1,500 and $3,000, depending on yard size, number of zones, soil conditions, and the complexity of your layout. We provide a fixed written quote after the on-site walkthrough — the number we quote is the number you pay. No estimate creep, no day-of surprises.
Factors that affect pricing include:
- Total square footage of irrigated area
- Number of distinct planting zones required
- Soil type (clay-heavy soils require additional work)
- Distance from the water main connection point
- Smart controller selection (basic vs. weather-integrated models)

Automatic Sprinkler System Installation FAQ
How long does sprinkler system installation take?
We prioritise completing every install within a single day. For more complex properties — larger lots, multiple zones, or challenging soil — it may extend to a second day, but we'll always let you know upfront.
Do I need to be home during the installation?
We ask that someone be present at the start and end of the installation day — for initial access and the final walkthrough. You don't need to supervise the work in between.
Will the installation damage my lawn?
Minimal disruption. We use narrow-trench equipment and restore the disturbed areas before we leave. Within a few weeks of watering, you won't be able to tell we were there.
What warranty do you provide?
Five years on all pipe, fittings, valves, and labour. Smart controllers and heads carry their own manufacturer warranties on top. Anything fails inside that window, we make it right.
Do you install drip irrigation as part of the system?
Yes — drip emitters can be added to garden beds, shrub zones, or any area where overhead spray isn't ideal. We design each zone to match the plants in it. See our drip irrigation installation page for more.
