What Do Commercial Irrigation Services Include?

Commercial irrigation is the design, installation, and maintenance of watering systems built for businesses, municipalities, sports fields, developments, and other large-scale properties. Pacific Lawn Sprinklers provides complete commercial irrigation services, from initial consultation and system design through installation, repairs, and ongoing maintenance.

This is for property owners, developers, municipalities, and facility managers responsible for landscapes too large or complex for a standard residential system, from new construction and athletic fields to golf courses and public parks. It’s also common for properties with an aging system that’s driving up water bills or no longer covering the property as it’s grown.

An inefficient or poorly maintained commercial system doesn’t just create dry or oversaturated patches, it can waste thousands of dollars a year in water costs that go unnoticed until an audit catches them. On properties this size, a small design flaw or an unaddressed leak compounds fast, both in water waste and in landscape damage across an entire site.

How Pacific Lawn Sprinklers Designs & Installs Commercial Irrigation Systems

Pacific Lawn Sprinklers provides complete commercial lawn irrigation installation, from initial layout through warranty, system demonstration, and personnel training. Our certified technicians handle large-scale piping projects ranging from 1-inch to 14-inch lines, including PVC and high-density polyethylene tubing that requires specialized butt fusion.

We own our installation equipment and maintain a large inventory of materials, so commercial projects move forward with minimal unnecessary lead time. For information about our residential capabilities, explore our sprinkler installation, service, and maintenance solutions.

Whether you’re planning new construction or need to fix a system that’s costing you more than it should, let’s talk about what your property actually needs.

How Our Commercial Irrigation Projects Work

Consultation & Site Evaluation

Every commercial property has unique irrigation requirements. Pacific Lawn Sprinklers follows a structured process that keeps projects organized while delivering reliable, long-term performance.

We review your property’s layout, irrigation goals, water source, infrastructure, and budget requirements, working closely with owners, developers, architects, engineers, and project managers to understand the full scope.

System Design & Documentation

Our certified designers develop a system tailored to your property, providing CAD drawings, shop drawings, construction documents, as-built drawings, and specifications as needed.

Professional Installation

Experienced technicians install the system using commercial-grade equipment, coordinating with other trades and project schedules when necessary.

System Testing & Training

Before project completion, we test the system to verify proper operation and provide demonstrations so your team understands how to operate and maintain it.

Ongoing Maintenance & Support

After installation, we offer inspections, repairs, seasonal services, water audits, and emergency response to help protect your investment.

Design & Installation

A well-designed system starts with the right plan, before a single pipe goes into the ground. Getting the design wrong upfront usually means more repairs and lower efficiency for the life of the system.

  • Consultation and budget planning
  • Certified irrigation design, including CAD, shop, construction, and as-built drawings
  • New system installation, including plumbing tap services, booster pumps, and holding tanks
  • Specialized equipment: backhoes, trenchers, vibratory plows, two-wire decoders, satellite central control systems, and ET systems
  • Union affiliations and prevailing wage staffing, with certified payroll reporting, for projects that require it

Commercial Irrigation Maintenance

Installing the system is only the beginning. As seasons, landscapes, and usage change, ongoing maintenance keeps equipment operating efficiently instead of quietly wasting water.

Common Commercial Repairs

Our technicians evaluate the whole system to find the actual source of a problem, not just treat the symptom that’s easiest to see.

  • Leaking irrigation lines
  • Broken, clogged, or misaligned sprinkler heads
  • Low water pressure or uneven zone coverage
  • Valve, manifold, controller, and wiring issues
  • Booster pump problems
  • Drip irrigation failures
  • Backflow preventer issues

For issues affecting a single zone or smaller system, our sprinkler system repairs team can also help.

Specialized Commercial Capabilities

Our technicians evaluate the whole system to find the actual source of a problem, not just treat the symptom that’s easiest to see.

  • Commercial drip irrigation using Netafim products, for planter boxes, medians, rooftop terraces, flower beds, rose gardens, and vegetable gardens. Newly planted trees get drip rings on their own separate zone until established. Learn more about drip irrigation →
  • Sleeving, using Schedule 40/80 PVC or steel piping, to protect piping and wiring under parking areas, driveways, walkways, and other hardscapes, and keep them accessible for future repairs without re-excavating
  • Water retention and reclaimed water systems, collecting rain or reclaimed water in cisterns for reuse
  • Booster pumps, sized, installed, and maintained to meet the flow and pressure large systems require, using equipment from manufacturers like Rain Bird and Goulds

What Affects the Cost of Commercial Irrigation?

Every commercial project is priced individually, a small rooftop terrace and an 18-hole golf course don’t share a range. Factors that typically affect cost include:

  • Property size and piping requirements, from standard PVC to specialized fusion-welded tubing
  • Number of zones and system complexity
  • Specialized equipment needs, like booster pumps, sleeving, or water retention systems
  • Union or prevailing-wage labor requirements, where applicable
  • Scope of design documentation and drawings required

We Get Involved Before You Break Ground

Our team works alongside architects, engineers, and project managers during early planning to value-engineer a system that’s cost-efficient from day one, not redesigned after the fact.

Commercial irrigation water audit

Water Audits That Pay for Themselves

Our certified auditors evaluate older systems for waste, and retrofitting an inefficient system has saved some property owners thousands of dollars a year in water costs.

Commercial irrigation emergency response

24-Hour Emergency Response

A failed irrigation system on a public space or commercial property can’t wait for a routine appointment. Our team provides 24-hour emergency response for commercial clients.
