It would be cool if buying a sprinkler system was like buying shoes, a phone or a pizza, with the price tag right in front of you.

That’ll be $7,346.15. Or $6,234.87.

If you’re lucky, buy one get one free! Which neighbor is your favorite?

But lawn sprinkler costs don’t work that way.

Ask “How much does a lawn irrigation system cost” and you’ll get a big “It depends.”




Sometimes it’s clear something’s not right out there with your sprinkler system.

Maybe you notice leaking, puddling, or bubbling. Or weird patches of lawn that are mysteriously way greener than the rest of your lawn. Or worse — dead grass.

How to fix a sprinkler system? It depends on the problem. It could be as simple as cleaning out a valve stuck open by dirt or gravel. Tackle that yourself and feel like you really accomplished something. Heck, take the rest of the day off!  Or you might have a full-blown line leak. Cue the irrigation pros. 

Some sprinkler system problems pop up more often than others.
