Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone had installed a new sprinkler system recently. How much did it cost you? Our property is about 0.33 acres. How much should I expect to pay for a new system?

Thanks!

Hi Ira -

My neighbors had one put in a few years ago (so keep that in mind) and I want to say it was somewhere around 3K? But this was only in the front of the house, which isn't a whole lot of land......

HTH!

Depends on the shape of the property, and how many zones and heads you'll need to properly cover the yard. For a ballpark though, you're probably looking at somewhere around $0.15-$0.25/SF, or +/- $2,200-$3,500.

Ours cost around $3k about a year ago. Shop around, get estimates and talk to friends and neighbors. One quote was more than double from the others! That guy also tried to talk us into an irrigation well which was even more money. We do not have a huge piece of property. We chose a contractor that friends had used and were please with. We are very happy with the $3k system!

Default Thank You!

Thank you so much for your replies. This was extremely helpful.

We got an estimate today - $7,000!!! I asked the guy if his sprinklers are made of gold. This is crazy. I guess I just have to shop around.
