Irrigation & Sprinkler Systems in Lincoln, CA
Smart Irrigation Built for Lincoln's New Yards and City Water RulesNew Lincoln landscapes need a real irrigation plan, not just the builder's front lawn strip. We design zones for the whole yard and controllers that adjust to the City of Lincoln's water rules.
Based in Orangevale, about 17 miles from Lincoln. Same crew, every project.
What Builder-Grade Irrigation Misses
Most new Lincoln homes come with a single irrigation zone covering the front lawn strip and nothing else. Backyards, planting beds, and anything added after move-in are left without water at all, which means homeowners end up dragging hoses or watering by hand.
We design full irrigation systems that cover the entire yard in zones based on plant type, drip lines for shrub beds, rotors for turf, and separate zones for anything shaded differently. Lincoln buys its water from Placer County Water Agency, but it is the City of Lincoln that bills residents and runs its own water conservation program , including rebates, for residents upgrading an older or incomplete system.
Controllers That Handle Lincoln Heat Without Wasting Water
Lincoln summers regularly clear 100 degrees, and a system that waters on a fixed schedule either underwaters during heat waves or overwaters during cooler stretches. Smart controllers that adjust to actual weather solve both problems at once.
We install weather-based smart controllers with rain sensors across Sun City Lincoln Hills and homes near Coyote Pond Park, so the system waters based on what the yard actually needs that week instead of a schedule set once and forgotten. See our page as a landscaper in Lincoln, CA for the rest of what we build across the city.

Questions About Irrigation & Sprinkler Systems in Lincoln, CA
Does Lincoln have outdoor watering restrictions?+
Lincoln sets its own outdoor watering restrictions through the City's water conservation ordinance, adopted under state drought mandates. The City buys its treated water from Placer County Water Agency, but the watering-day rules themselves come from the City of Lincoln. Rules can change by season, so we design systems with smart controllers that can adjust automatically instead of needing a manual reset every time watering days change. This keeps homeowners in compliance without having to track local rule updates themselves throughout the year.
Can you add irrigation to a backyard the builder never covered?+
Yes. Most new Lincoln homes only come with a single zone for the front lawn strip, leaving the backyard and side yards with no coverage at all. We design and install irrigation for the whole property, tying new zones into the existing system or replacing it entirely if the original setup cannot support the additional coverage. This is one of the most common requests we get from Lincoln homeowners in their first year.
How often should sprinklers run during a Lincoln summer?+
There is no single answer because it depends on plant type, soil, and sun exposure, which is exactly why a fixed schedule wastes water. We set up cycle and soak programs that run shorter watering periods with breaks in between, so water soaks into Lincoln's clay soil instead of running off. Smart controllers then adjust the whole schedule automatically as temperatures rise and fall through the season.
