Irrigation & Sprinkler project guide

Scope sprinkler repairs, drip systems, new irrigation, and smart controller upgrades before comparing nearby C-27 records. Describe the symptoms, affected zones, water source, and controller so contractors can prepare for the first visit.

Define the work

Build a clearer irrigation request

Start with the outcome, affected area, approximate size, existing conditions, timing, and budget range. Photos and measurements can make the first contractor conversation more useful.

How the C-27 directory fits

Landscape Genie uses the project ZIP to rank public C-27 records. A classification is not a specialty claim, so ask each business whether it performs this exact scope, serves your property, and has availability.

Use these answers to prepare—not as a substitute for a site visit, written proposal, or current license verification.

Who can work on landscape irrigation in California?+

C-27 contractors can install and work on landscape irrigation systems within their classification. Confirm the license status and scope before hiring.

What are signs my irrigation system needs repair?+

Pooling water, dry patches, misting heads, pressure changes, valves that will not close, unusually high water use, or a controller that loses its program can indicate a problem.

How are contractor records matched to my project?+

Your exact project ZIP is prioritized first. The list then expands by approximate straight-line distance between California ZIP centers until it reaches 22 searchable records.
