Good morning all!

So i'm thinking of putting in a sprinkler system at my house in Fairfax. It's a standard size lot if that helps. I was hoping someone might be able to give me a rough idea/estimate on how much they've spent on a sprinkler system. What are good brands/equipment? Any particular type of set-up i should look into? Also recommendations on who to use would be great as well!

Thanks in advance for the help!

The cost depends on the shape of your lot, how many zones they have to divide the sprinkler system up into, how many sprinkler heads you need, and how far they have to run lines to your sprinkler control panel (which they usually place in a garage). My lot is about 9000sf but a bit odd-shaped so we have 5 zones and about 30 or more sprinkler heads (Rain Bird I believe). The cost was about 3k to have it installed. The company also showed me how to adjust sprinkler heads and how to replace them myself. It's been a good investment so far!

My lot size is a little over 0.5 acres. I used Affordable in Vienna for sprinkler installation after getting rates from three other companies. Affordable was actually the highest, but they beat the lowest rate I had gotten. Check them out; they are recommended on Angie's List as well.

We have an 8 zone irrigation system with rain sensor - the whole 9 for our half acre lot. We used/use BioTurf out of Chantilly. They are the best company I have used here in NOVA (painters, flooring, landscapers, etc). I think I paid $2500 total, which was well below other quotes and since the price was lower than competition I had them put in landscape lighting. This is a family owned and operated business. I found out about them because a friend of mine at work is good friends with the owner.

We are so happy with them that they do all of our lawn treatments too. The lawn technicians know their stuff, inside and out. Very honest and straight forward, and for once I never worry about who a company send out to do work on our house while no one is home.

Bio Turf Chantilly VA, 20151

PM me if you want them to give you a quote; and I'll give my name as a reference as I send them a lot of business from friends, family and colleagues.
