Irrigation Services We Offer in Ann Arbor

We handle the full lifecycle of residential and commercial irrigation systems, including systems originally installed by other companies. Whether you need a new system designed from scratch or a single broken head replaced, our technicians can help.

Our services include:

Irrigation Installation – New system design and installation sized to your property’s water pressure, layout, and lawn zones
Irrigation Repair – Diagnosis and repair of broken heads, zone valves, pipes, and controllers
Drip Irrigation – Targeted low-flow delivery for gardens, shrubs, and plant beds
Backflow Testing – Required by many Michigan municipalities to protect the public water supply
Drainage Solutions – Addressing pooling and runoff that damages turf and hardscaping
Summerization & Winterization – Seasonal startup and shutdown to protect system components from freeze damage
Mid-Season Inspection – System check and adjustment during peak watering season

New customers can start with a Free Sprinkler System Inspection (system must be fully operational at the time of inspection). Commercial properties are served through dedicated commercial irrigation services, beginning with a Commercial Site Assessment.

Seasonal Maintenance Packages

Spring startup and fall winterization demand surges fast in Ann Arbor, and a system that goes into a Michigan winter without proper shutdown is vulnerable to burst pipes and cracked heads. A maintenance package locks in priority scheduling and keeps your system in shape year-round.

We offer two annual plans:

Nice N Easy – Starting at $150/Year
Includes Summerization, Winterization, Spring Inspection, and Priority Scheduling. A straightforward plan for homeowners who want the essentials covered without surprises.

Full Season – Starting at $190/Year
Includes everything in Nice N Easy plus one Mid-Season Inspection and 10% off all repairs and upgrades for the duration of the plan. The better fit for properties with complex systems or owners who want maximum protection against mid-season failures.

How We Measure & Improve Your System’s Efficiency

Most irrigation problems aren’t obvious until they show up on a water bill or as dead patches in a lawn. Our process starts with measurement, not guesswork.

We use a proprietary System Efficiency Score to evaluate your existing system and identify exactly what’s working and what’s wasting water. From there, our 5-step process moves from inspection to results:

Free Inspection and System Efficiency Score baseline
Address any urgent repairs identified during inspection
Optimize sprinkler head placement and nozzle distribution for even coverage
Upgrade to smart controllers and sensors where appropriate
Enroll in a seasonal maintenance plan to protect ongoing performance

Smart controller upgrades, including the Hunter Hydrawise Controller, use weather monitoring and real-time data to adjust watering schedules automatically. Systems upgraded with smart controllers can reduce water usage by 40 to 60 percent while keeping turf healthy.

What a Sprinkler System Actually Includes

Most property owners interact with an irrigation system only at the sprinkler head level. The visible heads, though, are the endpoint of a much larger infrastructure that determines how well the whole system performs.

A complete system includes controllers and timers that automate watering schedules, zone valves that route water to distinct lawn areas, rotor and spray sprinkler heads calibrated for different coverage distances, pipes and fittings that distribute pressure evenly across zones, and moisture and weather sensors that prevent unnecessary watering cycles. Every component affects the others. A controller programmed with multiple start times, for example, can cause a system to run far more often than intended. It’s one of the most common and costly sources of water waste, and it’s something a professional inspection catches quickly.

System Design & Installation

Proper installation accounts for water pressure at the source, pipe sizing through each zone, sprinkler spacing, and coverage overlap to eliminate dry patches without creating runoff. Skipping any of these variables during design typically produces a system that wastes water trying to compensate for uneven distribution.

Michigan’s Freeze-Thaw Impact on Irrigation Systems

Ann Arbor’s seasonal temperature swings create specific challenges for irrigation infrastructure. The freeze-thaw cycle shifts rotor and spray heads over time, changing coverage angles and creating dry spots that weren’t there the previous season. Winterization, typically completed in October, removes water from the system before ground temperatures drop. Spring startup, generally in April or May, restores operation and surfaces any damage that occurred over winter before the peak watering season begins.

Drainage & Zone Valve Health

Drainage management prevents pooling that damages turf and hardscaping over time. Zone valves with worn seals or debris buildup can allow water to run continuously through a zone, driving up water bills and causing overwatering damage to root systems. These failures are often slow to surface without a trained eye on the system.

Credentials That Verify Our Standards

We hold BBB accreditation, EPA WaterSense recognition, Irrigation Association membership, and NDS Drainage Certification, and we carry Top Rated and Angie’s List recognition from verified customer reviews. Our Toro and Hunter product partnerships give us access to current professional-grade irrigation components, not whatever happens to be locally available.

Conserva Irrigation of Ann Arbor was founded in 2010 with water conservation as the core mission, and every service we offer reflects that focus. We back all of our work with a satisfaction guarantee.

Schedule Your Free Sprinkler System Inspection

If your irrigation system hasn’t been professionally evaluated, you likely don’t know what it’s costing you. We offer a Free Sprinkler System Inspection for new customers throughout Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Belleville, Canton, Northville, and the surrounding Washtenaw County area. The inspection requires the system to be fully operational at the time of the visit. If repairs are needed first, we can complete them at standard rates before the inspection takes place.

Call (734) 349-1551 or request service online. We’re ready to help Ann Arbor residential and commercial property owners get more from every drop.

Signs Your Ann Arbor Irrigation System Needs Professional Service

Sprinkler systems fail gradually. By the time a problem is obvious, it has often been wasting water or stressing turf for weeks. Knowing what to look for helps you catch issues before they become expensive repairs.

Uneven Coverage & Dry Patches

Brown spots or dry patches on an otherwise watered lawn typically point to clogged sprinkler heads, misaligned rotors, broken supply lines, or faulty zone valves. Each of these prevents water from reaching the zone evenly, and the lawn shows the pattern of what’s missing.

Low Water Pressure

Reduced pressure across a zone or the whole system may result from blockages, leaks in ground lines, or pressure loss at the backflow preventer. Low pressure causes spray heads to underperform and rotors to fall short of their intended radius, leaving dry areas at the edges of each zone.

Heads That Leak Between Cycles

Sprinkler heads that seep or drip when the system isn’t running typically have damaged internal diaphragms or seals. This water loss adds up across a full season and often goes unnoticed until a water bill arrives.

Puddles or Wet Areas Without a Recent Watering Cycle

Standing water in a yard when the system hasn’t run recently suggests a pipe leak or a stuck-open zone valve. Both require prompt attention to prevent turf damage and root saturation.

Controller Programming Problems

Controllers set with multiple start times, incorrect zone durations, or outdated seasonal schedules can cause a system to run far more than the lawn needs. It’s one of the most common and easiest-to-correct sources of inflated water bills, and it’s a standard part of any professional inspection.
