How irrigation contractors usually price
Irrigation contractors price installs per zone, seasonal visits as flat prices, and repairs per part plus labor.
Start from your own hourly cost with the labor rate calculator, then check each price against the ranges above.
Where the ranges come from
None of these services has a published range we could source well enough to show here, so every line says "Set your own". Price them from your own hours, parts and drive time with the labor rate calculator.
What it takes to deliver this menu
The starter kit behind these services: trenching shovels and a sod spade; pvc cutters and poly pipe cutters; multimeter; valve locator or wire tracker; pipe pullers and funny pipe tools; pressure gauge; marking flags and paint; utility trailer. The full tools list adds the pro kit and van stock, with maker prices where we could check them.
