Why Choose Us for Irrigation Installation
We are an irrigation-only company with a singular mission: water conservation through proper irrigation. Since Conserva Irrigation was founded in 2010 on that principle, every service, product choice, and design standard we use is geared toward maximizing system efficiency and minimizing waste.
Every newly installed system comes with a smart controller as the standard not the upsell. Your smart irrigation controller adjusts daily to real-time conditions at your exact address and is operable from your phone, tablet, or connected device, so you are never locked into a static schedule.
We install Weather Sensors, including a rain sensor, with every new system so watering pauses automatically during rain and adjusts for temperature swings. Combined with Toro Precision Spray Nozzles, which save on average 35% of the water used when compared to traditional nozzles, your system is engineered for system efficiency from day one.
Our sprinkler system design standards include Matched Precipitation and full head-to-head coverage across every zone. That means each sprinkler in a zone applies water at the same rate and overlaps correctly, so your turf receives even coverage instead of dry spots and puddles.
We use minimally invasive techniques and specialized equipment to install lines and heads with minimal disruption to your existing lawn and landscaping. Most properties see quick visual recovery, without the long-term scars that come from heavy trenching.
We back new systems with an industry-leading 5 year warranty, provided Conserva Irrigation is servicing the system annually, and we stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee.
Custom Irrigation System Design & Products
Effective irrigation system installation in Northern Virginia starts with a design that fits your property, not a template. We evaluate your soil conditions, sun exposure, plant types, slopes, and drainage patterns to lay out zones that water each area according to its actual needs.
Our designs account for proper drainage to help minimize water runoff and pooling. Each zone is planned with the correct heads, nozzles, and spacing so your system delivers water where it is needed, when it is needed, and only in the amount required.
We install a WIFI-Enabled Controller so you can manage your watering schedule remotely, adjust for seasonal changes, and monitor your system from virtually anywhere. After installation, our technicians walk you through the controller setup, including how to use your smartphone to fine-tune run times and start or stop zones.
For targeted areas such as garden beds, trees, and ornamental plantings, we offer Drip Irrigation. Drip Irrigation delivers water directly to the root zone, which is ideal where overhead spray would waste water on hardscapes or foliage or increase the risk of plant disease.
Once your system is installed, we perform a comprehensive wet check. During this wet check, we confirm every head provides full head-to-head coverage, verify that each zone is pressure-optimized, and ensure your weather sensor and smart irrigation controller are communicating properly.
To support safe operation and local compliance requirements throughout Northern Virginia, we also provide Backflow Testing. This helps prevent contamination of the public water supply and keeps your system aligned with applicable codes and utility standards.
Our Irrigation Installation Process
Our process is structured, transparent, and designed to keep you informed at every stage, from first visit through final fine-tuning.
Step 1: Evaluate & Estimate
We start with an on-site evaluation of your property to understand the specific needs and nuances of your lawn and landscape. We review water access, pressure, existing plant material, and future plans, then design a custom layout and provide a clear installation estimate for your system.
Step 2: Install
Once you approve the plan, we handle the details. With permits finalized where required and utility lines marked, our crew arrives to Install your new system using minimally invasive techniques. We place heads, run lines, set the smart irrigation controller, and then restore disturbed areas before conducting thorough performance checks.
Step 3: Fine Tune
A few weeks after installation, we return to Fine Tune your system. During this visit we run an in-depth test, dial in run times and spray patterns based on how your landscape is responding, and confirm optimal performance across all zones. We activate your 5 year warranty at this point, provided Conserva Irrigation is servicing the system annually.
Before we close out the appointment, you receive a full walkthrough and training on the system. We show you how to use the WIFI-Enabled Controller, adjust schedules, and understand how weather adjustments work so you feel confident managing your irrigation day to day.
Commercial Irrigation Installation in Northern Virginia
Conserva Irrigation of Northern Virginia designs and installs irrigation systems for a wide variety of commercial and business properties throughout Northern Virginia, including sites such as apartment complexes, grocery stores, and restaurants. We understand the demands of multi-zone layouts and commercial-grade components required to keep high-visibility landscapes healthy.
Our commercial irrigation installations are built to minimize water waste while maintaining a lush, professional landscape that supports curb appeal and reflects well on your business. We apply the same conservation-focused design principles, smart irrigation controller technology, and Toro / Hunter product choices that we use on residential systems.
Commercial clients begin with a Commercial Site Assessment and receive a custom quote tailored to the size, zoning, and complexity of the property. We review controller locations, plant groupings, traffic patterns, and maintenance access to ensure the system supports both day-to-day operations and long-term water conservation goals.
New Irrigation System FAQs
Will installing a new sprinkler system tear up my lawn?
We use minimally invasive techniques and specialized equipment to install piping and heads, which significantly reduces disruption. Most lawns recover quickly, and once the grass knits back together, it is difficult to tell where our crew worked.
How much does irrigation system installation cost in Northern Virginia?
Cost depends on several factors, including property size, number of zones, landscape complexity, and system features. We provide a detailed, no-obligation estimate after evaluating your property so you know exactly what your project will require before work begins.
Do I need a permit for a new irrigation system?
Many jurisdictions in Northern Virginia, including county-level authorities such as Fairfax County, Loudoun County, and Prince William County, require permits and a certified backflow prevention device for irrigation systems. We handle the permitting process and coordinate required inspections related to our work.
Can my existing system be upgraded to a smart system?
In many cases, we can upgrade an existing irrigation system with a smart irrigation controller and other water-saving components rather than replacing the entire system. During your evaluation, we will assess your current setup and recommend whether upgrades, partial retrofits, or full replacement will best meet your goals.
What kind of water savings can I expect?
With a well-designed system that includes a smart controller, Weather Sensors, and Toro Precision Spray Nozzles, typical savings is between 40% and 60% on outdoor water use, although results are not guaranteed. Actual savings depend on previous usage, local weather, and how your landscape is maintained.
How does the 5 year warranty work?
Our 5 year warranty applies to new irrigation systems we install, provided Conserva Irrigation is servicing the system annually. During your consultation, we will review what is covered and how our ongoing service visits help keep your system performing at its best.
