Sprinkler System Installation and Irrigation Services
Smitty's Landscaping and Irrigation designs, installs, and maintains custom sprinkler systems for homes and businesses across Passaic, Essex, and Morris Counties, NJ. Our certified irrigation technicians have kept New Jersey lawns and landscapes healthy since 1981, using water-efficient designs tailored to your soil, sun exposure, and plant material.
Whether you need a new sprinkler system installed, repairs on an existing setup, or seasonal maintenance to protect your investment, our team delivers reliable service backed by 40+ years of local experience.
Custom Sprinkler System Installation
Every property is different, and your sprinkler system should be too. When we design and install a new irrigation system, we start by evaluating your landscape from the ground up: soil type, sun and shade patterns, slope, plant material, and how each zone of your yard actually uses water.
That evaluation shapes every design decision, from head placement and spray pattern to zone division and controller programming. The result is a system that waters what needs watering, skips what doesn't, and keeps your lawn and plants healthy without wasting a drop.
What our lawn irrigation system installation includes
- On-site design consultation and water audit
- Custom zone mapping based on plant and soil needs
- Underground line trenching and piping
- Backflow prevention and shut-off valve installation
- Pop-up spray heads, rotors, or drip lines matched to each zone
- Smart controller setup with weather-based scheduling
- System pressure testing and full walkthrough
- Careful restoration of lawn and beds around the work area
We install systems from trusted manufacturers including Hunter, Rain Bird, and Toro, and our technicians are certified to service every component we put in the ground.
Sprinkler System Repair and Maintenance
Even well-built irrigation systems need occasional attention. Heads get damaged by mowers, valves wear out, controllers lose their settings, and underground lines can develop leaks that quietly waste water for weeks before you notice.
Our irrigation technicians repair every make and model of sprinkler system, whether we installed it or not. Most common repairs include:
- Broken or misaligned sprinkler heads
- Leaking mainlines, lateral lines, and fittings
- Valve failures and stuck zones
Faulty controllers and wiring issues - Backflow preventer testing and repair
- Rain sensor calibration and replacement
- Pressure and coverage adjustments
We also offer annual maintenance plans that catch small issues before they become expensive ones. A single overlooked leak can waste thousands of gallons a year and drive up your water bill long before it shows up on your lawn.
Sprinkler System Winterization and Spring Turn-On Services
New Jersey winters are hard on irrigation systems. Water left in the lines can freeze, expand, and crack pipes, valves, and backflow preventers, leading to spring repairs that cost far more than the winterization would have.
Fall winterization: clears every drop of water from your system using compressed air, protecting your investment through the cold months.
Spring start-ups: bring your system back online safely, checking pressure at every zone, testing sensors, adjusting heads, and confirming your controller is programmed for the season ahead.
Both services are quick, affordable, and essential if you want your sprinkler system to last.
Smart Water-Efficient Irrigation Systems
The best irrigation system is the one that uses the least water to do the job. We install Wi-Fi and weather-based smart controllers that adjust automatically to rainfall, humidity, and temperature, so you're not watering your lawn during a thunderstorm or a cool morning that doesn't need it.
Homeowners who upgrade to a smart controller typically cut their outdoor water use by 20 to 30 percent, which shows up quickly on both water and sewer bills. We can add a smart controller to a system we design from scratch or retrofit one to your existing setup.
