About This Service

New Sprinkler System Installation in Olathe & Johnson County KS

A sprinkler system is the one landscape investment that touches your entire property and the one where the gap between a good install and a cheap one doesn’t show up for years. Zones laid out wrong leave dry corners and soaked beds. Undersized pipe and loose connections become leaks you’re digging up in year three. And the wrong backflow device simply won’t pass, because your city decides which type is legal not your contractor, and not you.

 We design your system around how your yard actually waters sun and shade, slope, plant types, and your real water pressure install it to code with the right backflow device and the permit pulled by our licensed plumber, and then, because we’re your lawn company, we put the turf back so you can’t tell we trenched it. After that, the same team turns it on each spring, blows it out each fall, and tests your backflow when it’s due.

Designed Around Your Yard

We zone your system by sun, shade, slope, and plant type, and size it to the water pressure you actually have so the whole lawn gets what it needs instead of half of it drowning while the corners burn.

Code-Right Backflow, Permit Handled

The backflow device is required by law and your city dictates the type Olathe won’t accept a Double Check. Our licensed plumber installs the right one and pulls the cross-connection permit, and our certified testers handle it from there.

We Put Your Lawn Back

Backed, and Serviced for Life

How much does it cost to install an irrigation system in Olathe?

It comes down to how much ground you’re watering and how many zones that takes. Lot size drives it most a modest yard is a very different job from an acre and beyond that it’s your water pressure and supply, how many zones the layout needs, the backflow device your city requires, and how much of the yard is easy to trench versus tight around beds, trees, and hardscape. We design and quote your property in writing before any work starts, so you know the number up front. Call (913) 829-4949.

That’s not up to you or your contractor your water provider decides. A backflow preventer is required by law on any irrigation system, since it’s what stops lawn water from siphoning back into your drinking supply. There are three common types: Double Check, Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB), and Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ). WaterOne permits any of the three, but City of Olathe service and the City of Shawnee do not allow a Double Check so which one goes in depends on who supplies your water. We install the right device for your address, and our licensed plumber pulls the cross-connection permit. After that, our certified testers handle testing and file the report with your district.

Installing a system means trenching across your whole yard there’s no way around that part. The difference is what happens next. Most irrigation contractors backfill and hand you back a yard laced with scars, and that’s your problem to fix. We’re a lawn and landscape company first: we grade the lines back level, seed or sod them, and repair any beds we worked through. Within a season, you shouldn’t be able to tell where we dug.

Yes and that’s a big part of why people hire us for the install. Your new system is covered by a two-year warranty, and the same team is back every spring to start it up, every fall to blow it out, and whenever your backflow is due for testing. You’re not chasing down whoever installed it three years ago we’re already your lawn company.

For most Johnson County lawns, yes. Our summers turn hot and dry fast, and cool-season fescue and bluegrass go backward without consistent water which in practice means dragging hoses and sprinklers around on a schedule you won’t keep. A properly zoned system waters the right amount, at the right time of day, whether or not you’re home, and it protects everything else you’ve invested in your yard. It also feeds directly into how well your fertilization and overseeding actually perform.
