RESIDENTIAL IRRIGATION
NJlawn Lawn & Irrigation started in 1986 as an installer of residential irrigation
equipment and we have never lost sight of our primary customer, you the homeowner.
All of our installers and service technicians are thoroughly trained on all
aspects of the residential sprinkler system. We currently service over 4,000
residential properties throughout Ontario.
BRANDS
OF EQUIPMENT
The primary brands of equipment are:
Our Manufacturer offers a complete line of timers, valves and
sprinkler heads.
There are differences between the brands and it is important that the consumer
do the research to find the right match for both quality and price. A NJlawns
representative would be more than happy to show you the differences between
the brands and the recommended products which we use. It is important to spend
more money at the time of installation to ensure the highest quality products
are installed with a long term warranty. A system of lesser quality products
will fail in time and cost more money later to replace heads, which stop rotating,
or valves which stop opening.
WARRANTY
NJlawn offers a warranty package unmatched in the industry:
A "5 year unconditional " warranty as long as NJlawn provides
the annual maintenance for opening and closings.

CUSTOM
DESIGN
During the estimation period, we begin by meeting at your home to evaluate
the property to design a system tailored to your landscape needs. We take
a pressure reading to determine your water pressure and we inspect the interior
plumbing to determine your water flow rate "gallons per minute".
A comprehensive layout of the property is completed on design paper, showing
the exact location of all sprinkler heads, valves and piping. Areas of the
lawn and garden are then sectioned into zones for customized watering.
SPRINKLER

The sprinkler heads are the most important product since they are the only moving parts. Rotor Heads are often used to cover large turf areas spraying between 25 and 30 feet. Spray Heads are more often used to cover small garden and lawn areas. The spray distance for a fixed pattern Spray Head is a maximum of 15 feet and can be adjusted to spray 5 feet if necessary. Spray Heads are more often used to cover gardens and small turf areas.
THE CONTROLLER
![]() |
The Controller is the "computer" which operates the watering schedule for the irrigation system. It can be programmed to run odd or even days, by days of the week, or by interval days. The Controller can be installed in your basement or preferably in the garage for easy access. Hand held remote controls are a new product now available for the controller. |
CONTROL
VALVES
![]() |
The Control Valve or Solenoid Valve is merely
an on-off switch for each sprinkler circuit. The Control Valves are located
in the lawn usually inside a green box. The Controller is connected to
the Control valve via direct burial wire. |
PUMP
SYSTEMS
Water for the irrigation system can also be supplied by submersible pump (below
groundl) or by centrifugal pump (above ground suction pump ). For wells, it
is important that the "replenishment rate" for the well be determined
before the system in designed. The irrigation system must not exceed the replenishment
rate for the well. The recommended pump size for an irrigation system would
be at least ½ horse for a small lot. A three-quarter or one horse pump
would be most desirable for a residential application for up to ½ Acre
in size. Properties larger than an acre may require a larger pump and in some
cases up to 5 horse power. NJlawn will work in conjunction with the pump
supplier to ensure adequate pressure and flow.
SUMMARY
It is in our best interest to install only the highest quality irrigation
products for our customers. Our time is valuable and we cannot afford to be
doing constant repairs for warranty claims, fixing equipment failures, nor
do we want a customer to be unsatisfied with our workmanship. We value your
business and we will do whatever it takes to keep you satisfied with our services.
We look forward to doing business with you, your friends and neighbors.
