Irrigation Installation & Repair in Kelowna, BC
Central City Landscapes installs, repairs and services irrigation systems for lawns, garden beds and complete landscapes throughout Kelowna and the Okanagan. From new sprinkler and drip systems to seasonal startups and blowouts, we keep water going where your landscape actually needs it.
Your Landscape Should Get the Right Water in the Right Places
A lawn doesn't need to be watered the same way as a garden bed, and different areas of the same property can have very different needs. A well-planned irrigation system considers what is growing, where it's planted and how the landscape is laid out so water can be delivered where it actually belongs.
Irrigation Services for New and Existing Landscapes
From complete new systems to repairs and seasonal service, Central City provides irrigation solutions around the needs of your property. Systems can be installed alongside landscape construction, upgraded as an existing landscape changes or serviced when something isn't working properly.
Irrigation Installation
Complete irrigation system installation for lawns, garden beds, trees and planting areas, planned around the layout and watering requirements of your landscape. For new properties, irrigation can be installed as part of a complete landscape construction project before sod and planting are finished.
Irrigation Repair
Troubleshooting and repair for existing irrigation systems experiencing leaks, damaged components, uneven coverage or other performance issues.
Irrigation Startups
Seasonal irrigation startups to get your system running again, check its operation and identify issues before regular watering begins.
Irrigation Blowouts & Winterization
Seasonal irrigation blowouts help prepare your system for freezing Okanagan temperatures by clearing water from irrigation lines before winter.
Irrigation Upgrades
Existing irrigation systems can be adjusted or upgraded as landscapes change, components age or more efficient watering is needed.
Different Parts of Your Landscape Need Different Irrigation
Lawns, garden beds, trees and drought-tolerant planting don't necessarily need water delivered in the same way. The right irrigation system can combine different watering methods and zones around what is actually growing in each part of your property.
Lawn Sprinkler Systems
Sprinkler systems provide coverage across lawn areas and can be planned around the shape, size and layout of the turf. When a new lawn is being installed, irrigation can be coordinated with sod installation before the finished turf goes down.
Drip Irrigation
Drip irrigation delivers water directly into targeted planting areas and can be well suited to garden beds, shrubs, trees and lower-water landscapes. It can also be incorporated into drought-tolerant landscaping where different areas of the property have different watering requirements.
Irrigation Zones
Separating an irrigation system into zones allows different areas of the landscape to be watered independently based on what is growing there and how much water it requires.
Smart Irrigation Controllers
Smart irrigation controllers provide greater control over watering schedules and can help manage when and how different areas of the landscape are watered.
Sprinkler Heads & Components
Sprinkler heads, valves and other irrigation components can be installed, replaced or adjusted to maintain appropriate coverage throughout the landscape.
Backflow Prevention
Backflow prevention is incorporated where required to help prevent irrigation-system water from flowing back into the potable water supply.
Efficient Irrigation Starts With Watering What Actually Needs It
Efficient irrigation isn't simply about watering everything less. It's about delivering water according to what different parts of your landscape actually require.
Lawns, garden beds, trees and drought-tolerant planting don't necessarily need to be treated the same way. Irrigation zones, appropriate watering methods and smart controls can give you greater control over where and when water is being used.
For properties where reducing overall water demand is a priority, irrigation can also be planned alongside drought tolerant landscaping.
Irrigation Should Be Planned Before the Landscape Is Finished
Installing irrigation becomes more disruptive once sod is down, garden beds are planted and the surrounding landscape is complete. When irrigation is considered during landscape design or a new landscape construction project, the system can be planned around where lawns, trees and planting will actually go.
Below-ground irrigation work can then be completed before the final softscaping is installed, allowing the system and finished landscape to work together from the beginning.
New Sod and Irrigation Work Better When They're Planned Together
New sod needs consistent watering while its roots begin establishing. If your property needs a new irrigation system, completing the below-ground work before laying the lawn avoids disturbing freshly installed sod later.
Central City can coordinate irrigation with sod installation so ground preparation, watering and the finished lawn are considered as parts of the same project.
Signs Your Irrigation System May Need Repair
An irrigation problem doesn't always mean the entire system stops working. Changes in coverage, unusually wet or dry areas, leaks and damaged components can all indicate that part of the system needs attention.
Broken or Damaged Sprinkler Heads
Damaged sprinkler heads can create poor coverage, unwanted spray patterns or excessive watering in one area.
Leaks & Wet Areas
Unexpected wet spots or water appearing while the irrigation system operates can indicate a leak or damaged component.
Dry or Uneven Areas
Sections of lawn or planting that consistently receive less water than surrounding areas may indicate a coverage or system issue.
Low Water Pressure
Changes in pressure can affect how sprinkler heads perform and how evenly water is distributed across the landscape.
Zone Problems
A zone that doesn't turn on, won't shut off or operates differently from the rest of the system may need troubleshooting.
Controller Issues
Problems with schedules, zones or system operation can sometimes originate with the irrigation controller or its settings.
Get Your Irrigation Ready for Every Season
Okanagan irrigation systems need to transition between the watering season and freezing winter temperatures. Seasonal service helps get the system running when you need it and properly prepared when you don't.
Irrigation Still Matters in a Drought-Tolerant Landscape
Drought-tolerant plants still need water, especially while becoming established. The difference is that their watering requirements may be very different from a traditional lawn.
By coordinating irrigation with drought tolerant landscaping, lawn areas, garden beds and lower-water planting can be treated differently rather than watering the entire property the same way.
This is also where drip irrigation and separate watering zones can become especially useful.
