Irrigation installation & repair in Missoula and Ravalli County

We start with a property and water-pressure assessment, then design a custom zone layout matching your lawn's sun, shade, and plant zones. Different areas get different heads and run times — think of it like wiring a house, but for water instead of electricity.

Your lawn's water pressure can only push a limited number of heads at once, and a sunny front yard needs different watering than a shaded flowerbed. Zones are like separate circuits — each one gets exactly the water its plants need.

Yard size, number of zones, soil type (rocky Bitterroot soil takes longer to trench), water source, and whether it's new construction or a retrofit all matter. HJ Property Care provides a detailed breakdown after assessing your property firsthand.

Schedule a spring startup inspection before heavy watering season and a fall blowout before freezing temperatures. Mid-season warning signs — dry patches, geysers, low pressure, or a spiking water bill — mean something's cracked, clogged, or misaligned underground.

In Montana, an untouched system can crack when water freezes and expands inside the lines. The fix is a fall "blowout" — we push compressed air through each zone to clear every line, valve, and head before the first hard freeze. Schedule it in early fall, and a spring startup the following season, to protect your investment year after year.
