A professionally designed sprinkler system keeps your lawn and beds perfectly watered — automatically — while saving up to 50% on water versus manual watering.
Manual watering is inefficient — you either overwater (causing fungus and runoff) or underwater (stressing your lawn). A properly designed irrigation system delivers the right amount of water to each zone at the right time, keeping your lawn and landscape healthy with minimal waste.
Green Leaves designs, installs, and maintains irrigation systems for Northern Virginia homeowners. We also service and repair all major sprinkler brands, perform spring startups, and handle fall winterizations (blowouts) to protect your investment through NOVA's freeze cycles.
Modern smart irrigation controllers connect to local weather data and automatically skip watering cycles when rain is forecast or soil moisture is adequate. Clients who upgrade to smart controllers typically see 20–40% reductions in water bills compared to timer-only systems.
We're certified to install and program Rachio, Orbit B-hyve, and Hunter Pro-HC smart controllers. These systems can be monitored and adjusted from your smartphone.
Zone count depends on your property size and the mix of turf vs. bed areas. A typical Northern Virginia home requires 4–8 zones. We calculate exact coverage during our free site assessment.
We recommend blowouts before the first hard freeze, typically mid-October through November in Northern Virginia. Don't wait — burst pipes are costly.
Yes — we service and repair all major brands including Rain Bird, Hunter, Toro, and Orbit regardless of who installed the original system.
Most residential installations (4–6 zones) are completed in one day. Larger properties may require 2 days.
