Sprinkler System FAQ: Your Questions Answered

Sprinkler systems in Bend's high desert climate require special consideration. Here are the questions we hear most often from Central Oregon homeowners, answered by our certified irrigation team.

How much does a sprinkler system cost in Bend?

A new sprinkler system in Bend typically costs $2,500–$6,000 for a standard residential property with 5–10 zones. Per-zone pricing runs $500–$700 for spray zones and $400–$650 for drip zones.

Larger properties, complex terrain, or premium smart controllers will increase costs. We provide free, itemized estimates after a site assessment.

When should I winterize my sprinklers in Bend?

We recommend scheduling your sprinkler blowout before October 15th — the average first hard freeze date in Bend. Don't wait until a freeze is forecast; we fill up fast and can't always accommodate last-minute requests.

Our Priority Irrigation Membership includes both spring activation and fall winterization for one annual fee, with priority scheduling so you're always protected.

How do I know if my sprinkler system needs repair?

Common signs include: wet spots or puddles between zones, dry patches that don't respond to watering, unusually high water bills, visible broken heads, or a controller that won't run certain zones.

We offer diagnostic service calls throughout Bend and Central Oregon. Our technicians can typically diagnose and repair most issues in a single visit.
