### Irrigation & Sprinkler Services

To ensure you compare the right scope of work, keep repairs or seasonal services separate from new watering system installations.

#### Choose the right scope

When requesting repair estimates, note the controller brand and specify which zones are affected. For new installations, ask how the design manages separate needs for lawn and garden beds, handles your specific water supply, and complies with local watering restrictions. It is also worth asking if the scope includes a handover demonstration of your new controls.

- System design and installation where listed.
- Repairs for leaks, valves, heads, controllers, or coverage issues.
- System start-ups, winterization, and seasonal programming.

#### What changes the quote?

- The number of zones, ease of trenching access, and costs to restore surfaces after digging.
- Controllers, valves, heads, and any necessary supply or backflow-related components included in the quote.
- Diagnostic fees, replacement parts, and charges for seasonal service visits.

#### Questions to ask

- Does the visit cover the diagnosis only, or does it include a set amount of repair work?
- Who is responsible for required testing or specialist plumbing work?
- Will the technician demonstrate the controller settings and provide a zone plan?

#### Common questions

### Is winterization the same as an irrigation repair?

No. Seasonal service is for preparing or checking a system. Replacing a failed component or fixing poor coverage is typically quoted as separate work.

### Can I use one watering schedule across the Lower Mainland?

Water suppliers and restriction stages vary by location. You should check the specific rules for your address and ensure your installer sets the controller to comply with those local regulations.
