Sprinkler Services / Sprinkler Installation
Sprinkler Installation Designed From the Yard Out
A new irrigation system should be planned around lawn, planting beds, pressure, available flow, sun exposure, slopes, and how the landscape will mature over time.

Built by Zone
Different parts of the yard receive different valves, runtimes, and watering methods.
Start Fresh When the Existing System Cannot Support the Yard
New Construction
The property is unfinished and irrigation needs to be coordinated with grading, sod, and planting.
Complete Yard Renovation
The landscape footprint is changing enough that the old zones no longer make sense.
No Reliable Existing System
The property lacks usable irrigation or the remaining components are too limited to build around.
Every Zone Should Have One Clear Job
The system is divided by plant type, exposure, coverage method, and available water flow. This makes seasonal scheduling more practical and reduces the need to overwater one area to compensate for another.
Lawn Zones
Sprinkler heads arranged for overlapping coverage across functional turf areas.
Planting-Bed Zones
Drip irrigation organized around trees, shrubs, grasses, and perennials.
High-Exposure Zones
Sunny, windy, narrow, or reflected-heat areas separated where practical.
Special-Use Zones
Park strips, slopes, new planting, or other areas grouped around distinct watering needs.
Pressure and Flow Determine What Can Run Together
Adding too many heads or emitters to one zone can produce weak coverage even when the layout looks correct on paper. The system should be organized around the water available at the property.
- Available pressure and flow
- Zone demand and component selection
- Head spacing and spray pattern
- Valve placement and future access
- Controller capacity
- Potential future landscape expansion
Pressure
Affects how heads rise, how far water travels, and how evenly a zone performs.
Flow
Limits the number and type of components that can operate together on one zone.
Zone Demand
Keeps each valve within a realistic operating range for the property.
The Complete Installation Scope
The exact system depends on the property, but a complete residential installation may involve the following components and planning work.
Mainline and Lateral Piping
Routes water through the property to the valves, sprinkler heads, and drip zones.
Valves and Valve Boxes
Separate the landscape into controllable watering zones with accessible service points.
Sprinkler Heads and Nozzles
Selected and spaced around lawn shape, dimensions, obstacles, and coverage needs.
Drip Irrigation
Supplies planting beds, trees, shrubs, and water-wise areas independently from lawn.
Controller Setup
Programs each zone around plant type, exposure, and the early establishment period.
Final Coverage Review
Checks zone operation, visible dry areas, overspray, leaks, and basic homeowner controls.
A New System Is Installed in a Specific Order
The irrigation layout should be coordinated before finished sod, rock, mulch, and planting hide the lines and components below the surface.
Property and Landscape Review
Confirm the yard layout, grades, lawn areas, planting beds, access, water source, and future plans.
Zone and Coverage Plan
Organize valves, lawn heads, drip zones, controller needs, and the anticipated water demand.
Trenching and Main Components
Install the approved piping, valves, boxes, sleeves, and connections in the planned sequence.
Heads, Drip, and Controller
Set the delivery components around the finished landscape layout and configure the controller.
Testing and Final Adjustments
Operate each zone, correct coverage, check for leaks, and review basic system use with the homeowner.

Install the System Before the Yard Hides the Work
New irrigation should be planned with grading, retaining walls, concrete, curbing, fencing, sod, planting, and decorative materials. Installing components in the wrong order can create avoidable rework or leave important areas difficult to reach.
- Sleeves installed before concrete where needed
- Valve boxes kept accessible
- Heads positioned around curbing and final lawn edges
- Drip lines coordinated with the planting layout
- Zones separated around walls, slopes, and park strips
- Controller location planned for practical access

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers about new system design, zones, pressure, installation order, controllers, and landscape coordination.
What is included in a new sprinkler system installation?
A complete system may include piping, valves, valve boxes, sprinkler heads, drip irrigation, a controller, zone programming, testing, and final adjustments. The exact scope depends on the property and landscape plan.
How are sprinkler zones designed?
Zones are organized around available pressure and flow, lawn shape, plant type, sun exposure, slopes, watering method, and the amount of water each group of components requires.
Can lawn sprinklers and planting beds use the same zone?
They generally perform better when separated. Lawn sprinklers and drip-irrigated planting beds use different delivery methods, runtimes, and watering frequencies.
Should irrigation be installed before sod and planting?
Most underground components should be installed and tested before sod, rock, mulch, and planting make the lines harder to access. Final head and drip placement should still match the finished landscape.
Can you install irrigation during a complete yard project?
Yes. New sprinkler installation can be coordinated with grading, concrete, retaining walls, curbing, fencing, sod, planting, and decorative materials.
How long does sprinkler installation take?
Timing depends on yard size, access, soil, number of zones, landscape scope, and whether the system is part of a larger project. A project-specific timeline should be established after the property is reviewed.
Will the controller be programmed after installation?
Yes. Initial zone settings can be configured around the new landscape and establishment period. Homeowners should continue making seasonal adjustments as weather and plant needs change.
Which areas do you serve?
Coonhound Landscape Specialties is based in Bluffdale and serves Herriman, Riverton, Draper, Sandy, South Jordan, and surrounding communities.
