How to price irrigation work
New sprinkler installs are priced per zone — roughly $700–$1,200 a zone, so a typical 5–6 zone residential system lands around $3,500–$6,000 depending on heads, controller, and trenching. Repairs are billed per zone or by the hour plus parts.
Seasonal service is your recurring-revenue engine: spring startups and fall blow-outs are quick flat-rate visits ($50–$130 each) that keep you in front of the customer twice a year. Bundle them and sell the season.
