Frequently Asked Questios
What types of irrigation systems do you install?
At Green Touch Irrigation Ltd., we install a variety of irrigation systems tailored to your property’s needs. Our services include sprinkler systems for large lawns and gardens, and drip irrigation systems for more targeted watering of flower beds, shrubs, and gardens. Each system is designed to maximize efficiency and conserve water, helping you achieve a lush lawn while reducing your water usage.
How do I know if I need an irrigation system?
If you’re noticing dry spots, wilting plants, or inconsistent watering, an irrigation system could be the solution. Green Touch Irrigation Ltd. offers free consultations to assess your property’s needs. Our experts will evaluate your lawn and garden’s requirements, determine if an irrigation system is right for you, and recommend the best solution, whether it’s a sprinkler or drip irrigation system.
How often should I water my lawn in Oakville, Milton, or Burlington?
In the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), your lawn typically needs about 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week, whether from rainfall or irrigation. During dry spells, you may need to water more often. With a smart irrigation system, Green Touch Irrigation Ltd. can automatically adjust watering schedules based on weather conditions to ensure your lawn gets the right amount of moisture without wasting water.
How do I maintain my sprinkler system during the off-season?
Maintaining your sprinkler system during the off-season is crucial to ensure it works properly when the warmer months return. Green Touch Irrigation Ltd. offers winterization services that include draining your system, blowing out the lines with compressed air, and shutting off water flow to prevent freezing. Regular checks and maintenance ensure that your system stays efficient year-round.
How long will it take to install an irrigation system at my home or business?
The installation of a new irrigation system typically takes 1 to 3 days, depending on the size of your property and the complexity of the system. Green Touch Irrigation Ltd. ensures a smooth, quick installation, minimizing disruption to your property while providing a fully functional, customized irrigation system tailored to your needs.
Can you help me with sod installation along with my irrigation system?
Yes! Green Touch Irrigation Ltd. offers sod installation services to complement our irrigation systems. We’ll properly prepare the soil, install fresh sod, and ensure your irrigation system is set up to efficiently water the new grass. Our combined services ensure a lush, healthy lawn that is properly watered from day one.
How does smart irrigation technology work, and can it help reduce water waste?
Smart irrigation technology uses real-time weather data, soil moisture levels, and smart controllers to automatically adjust watering schedules, ensuring your lawn gets the right amount of water based on current conditions. Green Touch Irrigation Ltd. installs these systems to minimize water waste, save on your water bills, and maintain a healthy landscape. This is especially important in dry seasons or drought-prone areas like the GTA.
What are the benefits of using smart irrigation controllers?
Smart irrigation controllers help conserve water by adjusting watering times based on real-time weather conditions. They prevent overwatering, reduce water waste, and can be controlled remotely from your smartphone or tablet. By using a smart irrigation system from Green Touch Irrigation Ltd., you can ensure your lawn remains healthy while saving money and reducing your environmental footprint.
Can smart irrigation help me save money on my water bill?
Yes, smart irrigation systems can save you up to 30-50% on your water bill. By using weather data and moisture sensors, the system adjusts watering schedules to ensure your lawn gets the right amount of water—no more, no less. Green Touch Irrigation Ltd. helps homeowners in Oakville, Milton, and Mississauga switch to water-efficient systems, significantly lowering utility costs.
How do rain sensors work, and are they included in my system?
Rain sensors detect rainfall and automatically shut off your irrigation system when it’s raining. This prevents overwatering, saving water and reducing unnecessary watering cycles. At Green Touch Irrigation Ltd., we offer rain sensors as part of our smart irrigation systems to help homeowners in Burlington and the GTA maintain efficient, water-saving landscapes.
Are there eco-friendly irrigation solutions available?
Yes! At Green Touch Irrigation Ltd., we specialize in eco-friendly irrigation solutions designed to conserve water and reduce environmental impact. From drip irrigation systems that deliver water directly to plant roots, to smart controllers that optimize watering schedules, we focus on using the latest technology to keep your landscape green without wasting water.
What’s the difference between a drip irrigation system and a sprinkler system in terms of water conservation?
Drip irrigation systems are highly water-efficient because they deliver water directly to the roots of plants, minimizing evaporation and runoff. In contrast, sprinkler systems distribute water more broadly, which can lead to wasteful runoff if not used properly. Green Touch Irrigation Ltd. can recommend and install the right system for your landscape to conserve water and promote healthy growth.
How much does it cost to install an irrigation system in Oakville, Milton, or Burlington?
The cost of installing an irrigation system depends on your property’s size, the type of system, and the complexity of the installation. On average, residential irrigation systems in Oakville, Milton, and Burlington range from $2,000 to $5,000. Green Touch Irrigation Ltd. offers free consultations and customized quotes based on your specific needs, ensuring you get the best value for your investment.

How do you price your irrigation systems, and what factors affect the cost?
The cost of an irrigation system depends on several factors including the size of your lawn, the type of system you need (e.g., sprinkler vs. drip irrigation), the complexity of the installation, and any additional features like smart controllers or rain sensors. Green Touch Irrigation Ltd. provides a free assessment and custom quote to ensure you get a cost-effective solution that meets your needs.

Green Touch Irrigation Ltd. offers free consultations to assess your property’s unique needs and recommend the most efficient irrigation system for your lawn, ensuring you get the best value for your investment.
