New lawn sprinklers, drip lines and smart controllers for Edmonds homes, from Five Corners and Westgate to Perrinville and the Highway 99 area. Installed by our own crew from neighboring Lynnwood.

Before we dig, we measure your water pressure and plan each zone around your lawn and beds. On the City of Edmonds water system, a residential backflow assembly must be a Washington State approved model, tested after it's installed and every year after that by a state-certified tester, with each report sent to the City of Edmonds Water Division. Some Edmonds addresses are served by Olympic View Water & Sewer District instead, so we confirm your water provider first.
On every system
Front lawn only or the whole lot, every Edmonds system goes in the same way.
We measure pressure and flow at your house before choosing a single head.
Lawn, beds and planters each get their own zone, with matching heads so the water lands evenly.
On City of Edmonds water, a new backflow assembly must be tested after installation by a state-certified tester. We plan for it from the first visit.
Every zone runs while you watch, and we show you how to use the controller.
System options
Zones laid out around your lawn, beds and water pressure, so no part of the yard gets too much or too little water.
→ Pressure and flow measured → Lawn and beds on separate zones → Lines routed around future projects
Pop-up spray heads and rotors, spaced so the whole lawn gets even coverage, front yard to back.
→ Pop-up sprays for narrow strips → Rotors for open lawn → One head type per zone
Drip line waters the roots of beds, shrubs and planters instead of the leaves, paths and patio.
→ Flower and vegetable beds → Hedges and foundation shrubs → Pots and patio planters
Wi-Fi controllers you run from your phone, set to skip watering after rain.
→ Schedules from your phone → Watering adjusted to the weather → Easy changes each season
Sensors pause the system when it rains and ahead of freezing nights.
→ Skips cycles when it rains → Stops before freezing nights → Saves water
Every system connects to your water through a backflow assembly. On City of Edmonds water, it must be a Washington State approved model, tested after installation and then every year.
→ WA State approved model → Tested after install, then yearly → Water provider confirmed first
Good fit?
A new system pays off most in these situations.
What it means: hand-watering eats your evenings. A system waters every zone on a schedule, even while you're away.
What it means: Puget Sound summers are dry enough that a lawn can go brown without water. Even, scheduled watering keeps it green through the dry months.
What it means: the water isn't landing evenly. Matched heads on planned zones fix the coverage.
What it means: drip line on its own zone puts the water right at the roots.
What it means: the water needs time to soak in. We set zones and run times for your slope and soil, so it stays in the yard instead of running down the hill.
What it means: plan the system now so the lines stay clear of future work. Our crew builds patios too, so irrigation and hardscape runs are laid out together and trenches are dug once.
Planning
Most sprinkler trouble starts with a poor layout. Soil matters too. The USDA lists Alderwood soils as extensive in western Washington: gravelly sandy loam over dense glacial till. Water soaks into the top layer quickly, then sits on the till. Where a yard has that soil or a slope, we set zones and run times around it.
1. Dig without measuring water pressure 2. Lawn and beds share one zone 3. Mixed head types in a zone 4. Backflow testing left as an afterthought
Result: dry spots, soggy spots, and a backflow assembly that still needs its test.
1. Measure pressure and flow before choosing heads 2. Give lawn, beds and planters their own zones 3. Match heads in each zone, and plan the controller and backflow assembly up front 4. Install, restore the lawn, and run every zone with you
Result: even watering in every zone, and a system you know how to run.
Timing
Paine Field in Everett is the closest NOAA climate station to Edmonds. Its median first 32°F night is November 17, and one year in ten it comes by October 31. A new system should be tested and blown out before then, so plan the install with the frost in mind.
April – September
Get the system running before the driest stretch of summer.
October
New lines are cleared with compressed air so they're empty before the first frost.
November – March
Lines stay drained while the ground is wet. In Alderwood soils, a perched water table can sit 1 to 3 feet down at times from December through April. A good time to plan spring zones.
Late March – April
After the last frost (median March 9 at Paine Field), systems come back on and every zone gets tested.
Oct 31
First frost in 1 year out of 10
Nov 17
First frost in a typical year
Mar 9
Last spring frost in a typical year

"Danny worked on our broken irrigation pipe and a underground connector. He was efficient, on time, and got the job done cleanly. I would hire him again."

"… Weeks after installation, I had an issue with one garden area getting oversaturated along with water build up so I called Danny and he came right over that same day and found that there was a faulty valve and he took care of it right away. Grizzly is competitively priced and Danny is very knowledgeable. …"

Questions
For most lawns, yes. Puget Sound summers are dry enough that a lawn can go brown without water, and hand-watering takes hours. A smart controller waters only when needed, which saves water and keeps the lawn green.
Yes. A lawn sprinkler system is a cross-connection to your drinking water, so it needs one. On the City of Edmonds water system, a residential assembly must be a Washington State approved model, tested after it's installed and every year after that by a Washington State certified Backflow Assembly Tester. The test report goes to the City of Edmonds Water Division. If Olympic View Water & Sewer District or another provider serves your address, we check what it requires.
It depends on yard size and number of zones. The system is tested zone by zone before the job is complete.
No. Pipe goes in through narrow trenches, and the lawn is restored when the job is done.
Yes. We plan the zones and set run times for the slope and the soil, so the water soaks in instead of running down the hill.
Zone valves, underground pipe, spray heads, rotors or drip line for each area, a controller, and the connection to your water supply through a backflow assembly. We route the lines so they stay clear of future projects.
It depends on your yard, your water pressure and how many zones you need. We walk your yard, check your pressure and give you a clear price before any work starts.
Yes. Grizzly Landscape & Construction LLC is registered with Washington L&I as contractor GRIZZLC755LL, and is bonded and insured. You can look the number up on L&I's Verify a Contractor tool.
Yes. Every install comes with the Grizzly 18-month warranty. If something we installed fails in that time, we come back and fix it.
Spring through early fall, so the system is ready for the dry months. At Paine Field, the closest NOAA weather station to Edmonds, the first frost comes around November 17 in a typical year, and every new system should be blown out before then.
