Lawn sprinklers and irrigation systems in Aurora
Aurora mixes century properties around the old village core with newer subdivisions east and west, and the two need quite different irrigation. Pro Green Irrigation is based just north in Newmarket, so Aurora is effectively our home service area — our crews are on these streets constantly, which shows up in how quickly we can get to a service call.
What does a lawn sprinkler system cost in Aurora?
A typical subdivision lot with a 40 to 60 foot frontage and 100 to 150 foot depth is generally in the range of $3,900 to $4,900 in Aurora. That figure moves with the property — the landscaping, garden detail, water supply and actual layout all change the design. For larger properties a site visit is needed to price accurately, and we give you a written quote after walking the property with you rather than a number over the phone.
Why do properties in Aurora need a custom design?
Older Aurora properties near Yonge and Wellington tend to be deep, irregular and heavily planted, often with mature trees and established gardens that have grown up around the house over decades. The newer subdivisions through Bayview Northeast and Stonehaven are more uniform — 40 to 60 foot frontages with open, sun-exposed turf that dries out quickly in July.
We work across Aurora — the older streets around Aurora Village and Regency Acres, the larger properties in Aurora Highlands and Hills of St Andrew, and the newer developments through Bayview Northeast and Stonehaven.
What is the water supply and pressure like in Aurora?
Aurora runs on York Region supply with good pressure in most areas. As everywhere, available flow determines how many heads can operate per zone, so we measure before designing rather than assuming a standard layout will fit.
How often should you water a lawn in Aurora?
Aurora sits on the transition between the Oak Ridges Moraine and the clay plain to the north, so soil varies noticeably from one part of town to another — sandier and faster-draining toward the moraine, heavier and slower to the north and east. Run times are set to the property, not the postcode.
Do you need a backflow preventer in Aurora?
Backflow prevention is required on connection to the municipal supply and is included in every installation. York Region encourages efficient outdoor water use, and a rain sensor or weather-based controller is a simple way to avoid watering through a rainy week.
How is a sprinkler system installed?
On established Aurora properties the design work is mostly about mature planting: shaded turf, root competition and deep beds all need separating. On newer subdivision lots it is about even coverage across open sun, where head spacing does most of the work.
- Trenchless installation. Pipe is pulled beneath the turf rather than dug in, so an established lawn is walkable the same day.
- Contractor-grade components. Hunter and Rain Bird heads, valves and controllers — the same parts we have to come back and service.
- Separate zones for lawn and beds. Turf gets a shorter, heavier cycle; garden beds get slow drip at the roots.
- Backflow prevention included. Required for connection to the municipal supply, fitted as part of the installation.
- Our own crews. We never sub-contract — the people on your property are on our payroll.
- Five-year parts and labour warranty* on every system we install.
Do you install landscape lighting in Aurora?
Aurora's older streets and larger lots suit low-voltage landscape lighting particularly well — mature trees uplit, long front walks lit at path level. We design on site and install with Vista and other contractor-grade fixtures.
When should a system be started up and winterised?
Spring start-ups from April, fall blow-outs from late September through November. Being based in Newmarket, we can usually schedule Aurora work quickly at both ends of the season.
A spring start-up means charging the system, checking every head, adjusting spray patterns and programming the controller for the season. A fall blow-out means clearing the water out of the lines with compressed air so nothing freezes and splits over winter. In this climate winterisation is not optional — water left in a line will crack the pipe or the fittings.

Aurora irrigation questions
The questions homeowners in Aurora ask us most often before booking a quote.
How much does a lawn sprinkler system cost in Aurora?
A typical Aurora subdivision lot with a 40 to 60 foot frontage runs $3,900 to $4,900. Larger or heavily planted properties, particularly older lots near the village core, cost more because they need additional zones. We quote in writing after walking the property.
Are you local to Aurora?
Yes. We operate out of Newmarket, immediately north of Aurora, and our crews work these streets constantly. That proximity matters most for service calls and seasonal work, where response time is the difference between a small repair and a damaged lawn.
Can you work around established gardens?
Yes. On mature Aurora properties we pull pipe beneath the turf and hand-work around established root systems and beds. Drip line is run through the beds themselves so planting is watered properly without spraying foliage.
How many zones does an Aurora property usually need?
Most subdivision lots need four to eight. Older, deeper, heavily planted properties often need more because shade, sun and beds all have to be separated rather than averaged into one schedule.
When do you do spring start-ups?
From April onward, as soon as the risk of hard frost passes. A start-up includes charging the system, checking every head, adjusting spray patterns and setting the controller for the season.
What does winterisation involve?
We blow the water out of the lines with compressed air so nothing is left to freeze and split the pipework or fittings over winter. It runs from late September through November and is essential in this climate.
