Irrigation Systems That Save Water and Save You Time
Hand-watering and dragging hoses around your property isn’t just time-consuming — it’s genuinely inefficient. Plants get too much water one day and not enough the next, lawns develop dry and dead patches, and gardens struggle to reach their potential. A properly designed irrigation system changes all of that: it delivers the right amount of water to the right place at the right time, every day, automatically. Wildscape installs drip irrigation for gardens, flower beds, and shrubs, sprinkler systems for lawns, and smart controllers that adjust watering schedules based on real-time weather data so you’re never watering before a rainstorm. We also repair and upgrade existing systems — whether it’s a broken head, a failing controller, or a system that simply wasn’t designed well to begin with.
01
System Design & Planning
We assess your property — lawn areas, garden beds, trees, slopes, and water pressure — then design a system that delivers precise coverage with no dry spots and no wasted water. Every zone is planned for efficiency.
02
Installation
Our crew handles the full installation: trenching, pipe laying, head and emitter placement, backflow prevention, and controller wiring. We work cleanly and restore your yard when the job is done.
03
Programming & Handover
We program your controller, set zone schedules optimized for your plant types and soil, test the full system, and walk you through how to operate and adjust it. You leave with a system you understand and can manage confidently.
Why a Proper Irrigation System Pays for Itself
Reclaim Hours Every Week
Automated irrigation eliminates the daily chore of hand-watering entirely. Set it and forget it — your yard gets watered whether you’re home, at work, or away on vacation.
Use Up to 40% Less Water
Precision drip and sprinkler delivery means water goes exactly where it’s needed, not on sidewalks, driveways, or into runoff. Smart controllers reduce waste even further by responding to rainfall and temperature.
Healthier Plants
Consistent, appropriate watering is one of the single biggest factors in plant health. Irrigation eliminates the feast-and-famine cycle of hand-watering, leading to stronger roots, lusher lawns, and better-producing gardens.
Our Irrigation Work
⭐ What Okanagan Homeowners Say
★★★★★
“We had Wildscape put in drip irrigation for our new garden and it’s been a game changer. I used to spend 30–40 minutes every evening watering by hand. Now the system handles it and I haven’t touched the hose in months. Plants have never looked better.”
★★★★★
“Wildscape installed a full irrigation system across our entire property — lawn zones, garden beds, and orchard rows — with a smart controller I can manage from my phone. The crew was professional, the work was clean, and the system has worked flawlessly. Worth every penny.”
★★★★★
“We had an old irrigation system that was leaking, had dead zones, and was a nightmare to program. Wildscape came out, assessed everything, replaced what needed replacing, and upgraded us to a proper controller. It now works exactly as it should. Wish we’d called them years ago.”
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between drip irrigation and a sprinkler system? ▼
Drip irrigation delivers water slowly and directly to the root zone of individual plants through emitters and tubing. It’s ideal for garden beds, shrubs, trees, and vegetable gardens — very efficient, minimal evaporation, and keeps foliage dry which reduces disease. Sprinkler systems broadcast water over an area using rotating or fixed heads, making them better suited to lawns and larger open spaces. Many properties benefit from both: drip irrigation in the garden areas and sprinklers for the lawn. We’ll recommend the right approach for each zone in your yard.
Can I control my irrigation system from my phone? ▼
Yes — we install smart controllers that connect to your home WiFi and come with an app for your phone or tablet. You can adjust schedules, run zones manually, check system status, and receive alerts, all from anywhere. Smart controllers also connect to local weather data and automatically skip or reduce watering when rain is forecast or temperatures drop.
Do I need to winterize or blow out my system each fall? ▼
Yes — in the Okanagan, irrigation systems need to be properly blown out with compressed air each fall before freezing temperatures arrive. Water left in pipes and heads can freeze, expand, and cause cracks or breaks that are expensive to repair in spring. We offer fall winterization as a standalone service, and many of our customers book spring startup and fall blowout as a package each year.
My existing system has problems — is it worth repairing or should I replace it? ▼
It depends on the age of the system, the extent of the issues, and how well it was originally designed. Many older systems can be repaired and significantly improved with component upgrades — a new controller, replacement heads, better emitters — without a full replacement. Other systems were poorly laid out from the start and a redesign makes more sense. We’ll give you an honest assessment after seeing the system and let you know what makes financial sense.
What does a typical residential irrigation system cost? ▼
Costs vary based on property size, the number of zones, system type, and whether trenching is required. A modest residential system for a smaller property with a few zones might start in the low thousands, while a full-property system with multiple zones, smart controls, and drip coverage across garden areas is a larger investment.
