SERVING ALL OF VANCOUVER
Irrigation Done Right for Vancouver Yards
Vancouver lots are tight, the gardens are mature, and a lot of irrigation systems here were installed decades ago and patched ever since. We work on everything from small front-yard spray zones to full Westside garden systems, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a repair or an upgrade makes more sense.
Many of our Vancouver customers are switching planted beds and boulevard gardens from spray heads to drip. It uses far less water, keeps the foliage dry, and keeps watering possible during summer restrictions.
Fall blowouts from $145
Every zone cleared with a commercial compressor before the first freeze.
Spray-to-drip conversions for mature gardens
Drip feeds roots directly, uses far less water, and stays usable during summer restrictions.
Annual backflow testing and reporting
We test your backflow preventer and file the report with the City for you.
Vancouver Watering Days, Restrictions and Backflow Testing
When can you water in Vancouver? Vancouver follows Metro Vancouver’s regional lawn watering rules, which apply every year from May 1 to October 15. Under the normal Stage 1 rules:
- Homes, even-numbered addresses: water lawns on Saturdays.
- Homes, odd-numbered addresses: water lawns on Sundays.
- Times for homes: sprinklers and automatic systems 5 am to 7 am; hand watering 6 am to 9 am.
- Businesses, strata and other non-residential properties: even addresses on Mondays and odd addresses on Tuesdays, with automatic systems 4 am to 6 am and hand watering 6 am to 9 am.
- Trees, shrubs and flowers: drip irrigation, soaker hoses and hand watering any day, any time; sprinklers any day from 5 am to 9 am (4 am to 9 am for non-residential).
- Vegetable gardens: any time.
- New lawns: need a watering permit from the city to water outside these times.
In dry summers the rules tighten in stages. Check the current stage on Metro Vancouver’s website before you change your schedule, or let us set your controller to the right days and times for you.
In 2026, Metro Vancouver moved to Stage 2 water restrictions on May 1 and Stage 3 on June 8. Lawn watering was banned, and trees, shrubs and flowers could only be watered by hand or with drip irrigation. If you’re in Vancouver, a properly set-up drip system is the easiest way to keep gardens alive through a dry summer while staying within the rules. We convert spray zones to drip and set controllers so they only run when and where they’re allowed.
The City of Vancouver requires backflow preventers to be tested when they’re installed and every year after that, by a certified tester. Test reports are filed online through BSI Online within 15 days of the test. We’re backflow licensed, so we can test your irrigation backflow preventer and file the report for you.
Neighbourhoods we often work in: Kitsilano, Point Grey, Dunbar, Kerrisdale, Shaughnessy, Fairview, Mount Pleasant, East Vancouver and the UEL. We cover the whole city, not just these.
