Lawn sprinklers and irrigation systems in Vaughan
Our Vaughan work is concentrated in Thornhill, on both sides of Yonge Street, where established streets sit alongside newer infill. Thornhill lots range from mature, heavily planted properties to open, sun-exposed lawns with young trees — and the two need quite different irrigation. Pro Green Irrigation designs and installs inground sprinkler systems across Thornhill and services the systems we install.
What does a lawn sprinkler system cost in Vaughan?
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 Vaughan. 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 Vaughan need a custom design?
The typical Thornhill property runs a 40 to 60 foot frontage with a deep rear yard. On the newer streets the tree canopy is still filling in, so most of that grass sits in full sun and loses moisture far faster than a shaded lawn — head spacing and run times have to account for it or you get the classic result: green edges and a scorched middle. The older streets closer to Yonge bring mature trees and established gardens, where shade and root competition change the design again.
Our Vaughan crews work throughout Thornhill — the established streets either side of Yonge, the newer infill to the east and west, and the larger properties toward the ravines.
What is the water supply and pressure like in Vaughan?
Thornhill is on York Region municipal supply, generally with good pressure. On larger lots the constraint is usually not pressure but flow — there is only so much water available at once, which is what determines how many heads can run per zone. We measure both before designing, then split the property into enough zones that every head gets the pressure it was designed for.
How often should you water a lawn in Vaughan?
Much of Thornhill sits on heavy clay, often compacted by construction. Clay accepts water slowly, so a long single run mostly produces runoff toward the driveway. We generally program shorter cycles with soak time between them, which lets the water actually move into the root zone instead of down the slope.
How is a sprinkler system installed?
Larger Thornhill lots usually mean rotor zones for the open turf and spray zones for tighter areas near the house and along the beds. On bigger properties we often specify a controller with more zone capacity from the start so the system can be extended later without replacing the brain.
- 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.
- Zoned to the property. Lawn, gardens, sun and shade are separated so each area gets the water it actually needs.
- Designed on site. We test how many heads each zone can run before anything is installed, then flag out the layout with you.
- 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 Vaughan?
Newer Thornhill homes have strong architecture and little mature planting, which makes landscape lighting unusually effective — uplighting the stonework and entrance transforms the front elevation. We install low-voltage Vista and other contractor-grade fixtures, designed with you on the property.
When should a system be started up and winterized?
Spring start-ups begin in April and fall blow-outs run from late September. Larger Thornhill properties take longer to winterize, so booking early in the fall matters more here than in the city.
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 winterization is not optional — water left in a line will crack the pipe or the fittings.

Vaughan irrigation questions
The questions homeowners in Vaughan ask us most often before booking a quote.
How much does a sprinkler system cost in Vaughan?
A typical Thornhill lot with a 40 to 60 foot frontage falls in the $3,900 to $4,900 range. Larger properties with extensive beds and many zones cost more. We price only after walking the property.
My lawn burns out every July. Will a system fix that?
That is the most common reason Thornhill homeowners call us. Full-sun turf on an exposed lot needs consistent, even, early-morning watering — which is exactly what hand-watering cannot deliver. A properly zoned system with correct head spacing removes the dry middle that most lawns here develop by mid-summer.
How many zones will my property need?
Most Thornhill lots need four to eight zones. Larger properties commonly run ten or more. Zone count is dictated by available flow, not preference — we measure the water supply and divide the property so every head runs at its designed pressure.
Which parts of Vaughan do you cover?
Thornhill, on both sides of Yonge Street. If your property is elsewhere in Vaughan, give the office a call and we will tell you straight away whether it is somewhere we can take on.
When should I book a fall blow-out?
Late September through November. Water left in the lines freezes and cracks fittings, so winterization is not optional in this climate. Larger Thornhill properties take longer, so book early in the season.
Can the system water my garden beds as well as the lawn?
A system from Pro Green can be designed to water both gardens and grass. So where it makes sense we can try to design a system that can water both. Ask us about options for your property.
