What Irrigation Installation Covers

Every project starts with a detailed site evaluation covering property layout, soil conditions, and any existing irrigation setups. From there, our irrigation installation technicians design a system set to drain properly and minimize water runoff, maximize the lifespan of your lawn, and automatically adjust watering through smart controllers and moisture or weather sensors.

A complete lawn irrigation system includes controllers and timers, sprinkler heads and nozzles, valves, pipes, and rain sensors. Each component affects overall performance, which is why proper placement and pressure calibration matter as much as the hardware itself.

Before any work begins, we go over all solution options with you so you can make an informed decision. Sometimes a full sprinkler installation is the most cost-effective path forward, avoiding the cycle of repeated irrigation repair on an aging system. After installation, our technicians walk you through system operation and share seasonal tips tailored to local conditions.

Cary Irrigation Regulations Every Property Owner Should Know

Cary has several standing ordinances and state requirements that apply to any new irrigation installation. Understanding them upfront can help prevent compliance issues after your system is in the ground.

Permit & Contractor Requirements

An irrigation permit is required before installing an automatic irrigation system in Cary. Under North Carolina law, any irrigation system costing at least $2,500 must be installed by a licensed irrigation contractor. Our team ensures every system we install meets local requirements from day one.

Backflow Prevention

Every irrigation system in Cary must include a backflow prevention device to protect the municipal water supply. Per the Town of Cary’s cross-connection control program, residential irrigation backflow assemblies are tested every three years, while commercial systems require annual testing. This is a built-in component of every system we design, not an add-on.

Rain Sensor Ordinance

All irrigation systems in Cary must be equipped with a functioning rain sensor that automatically shuts the system off while rain is falling. Smart controllers with integrated weather sensing satisfy this requirement and can deliver additional efficiency gains beyond basic compliance.

Alternate-Day Watering Ordinance

Cary restricts automated outdoor watering to three days per week based on street address. Odd-numbered addresses may water on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday; even-numbered addresses on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. Automated outdoor watering is prohibited on Mondays for all properties, and controller programming must reflect this schedule.

Water Waste Ordinance

Cary prohibits water from running across hard surfaces such as driveways, sidewalks, and streets. This directly influences sprinkler head placement and zone boundaries during system design. Getting coverage right at installation helps reduce both waste and ordinance risk.

Tiered Water Rates

Cary uses a tiered rate structure where discretionary water use, including irrigation, can push consumption into higher pricing tiers. A well-zoned, efficiently scheduled system can help keep usage in lower tiers, which is where the financial case for a conservation-designed installation becomes concrete.

The Irrigation Installation Process

Here’s what Cary property owners can expect when working with Conserva Irrigation of the Triangle:

Free inspection: We assess the property, existing irrigation setups, and your goals before recommending any work
Address urgent issues: Any immediate problems with water delivery or system condition are identified and resolved first
Optimize performance: System design accounts for water pressure, pipe sizing, and head placement for even coverage across all zones
Upgrade to smart technology: Hunter and Toro controllers and sensors replace or complement existing components to meet Cary’s rain sensor requirement and improve scheduling accuracy
Ongoing maintenance: Seasonal service plans prevent problems before they occur and extend the life of the system

Residential projects are typically completed within a few days depending on property size and complexity. After installation, your technician programs the controller to align with Cary’s watering schedule restrictions and walks you through daily operation and seasonal adjustments.
