What We Install & Upgrade

Most existing irrigation systems can be upgraded without replacing the whole system. We assess what you have, recommend the right upgrades, and install everything in one visit.

📡

Smart Controllers

Replace your old timer with a Wi-Fi connected smart controller like Rachio or Hunter Hydrawise. Adjusts automatically based on local weather. Control it from your phone, anywhere.

🌧️

Rain & Freeze Sensors

Simple sensors that shut your system off when it's raining or when temps drop below freezing. Inexpensive and they pay for themselves quickly.

💧

Drip Irrigation

For garden beds, shrubs, and foundation plantings. Delivers water directly to the root zone, far more efficient than spray heads and better for plants.

🎯

High-Efficiency Nozzles

Swap out old spray heads for precision rotary nozzles like Hunter MP Rotators. Less runoff, better absorption, lower water usage, no pipe changes required.

🔍

Water Efficiency Audit

We walk every zone, check coverage, pressure, and timing, and give you a straight assessment of where you're wasting water and what upgrades give the best return.

📱

Remote Monitoring Setup

App-based control so you can adjust zones, check run times, and get leak alerts from your phone. Great for homeowners who travel or want more visibility.

Common Questions About Smart Irrigation Upgrades

Will a smart controller work with my existing system?

In almost all cases, yes. Smart controllers like Rachio and Hunter Hydrawise are designed to replace standard timers and work with existing valve wiring. We check compatibility during the site visit.

How much does a smart irrigation upgrade cost?

A smart controller swap typically runs $250–$450 installed. Rain sensors are less. Drip zone additions and nozzle replacements vary by zone count. We quote everything upfront.

Which smart controller brand do you recommend?

We primarily install Rachio and Hunter Hydrawise, both reliable, strong app support, and integrate well with weather data. We'll recommend based on your specific system.

Is a smart upgrade worth it if my system is older?

Usually yes, as long as the pipes and valves are in reasonable shape. A smart controller doesn't care how old the rest of the system is. If there are underlying issues, we'll tell you honestly before recommending an upgrade.

What towns do you serve?

We cover 20+ towns across Metro West and Greater Boston, Natick, Framingham, Sudbury, Wellesley, Needham, Wayland, Marlborough, Ashland, Westborough, Newton, Waltham, and more.
