How much does a website cost for an irrigation company?

The short answer: A custom website for an irrigation or sprinkler company runs $3,500 to $12,000+ as a one-time build. Where you land in that range depends on how much of the trade the site has to carry: a repair-focused shop in one metro sits near the bottom, while a company that also sells installs, files backflow tests in several water districts, and wants customers enrolling in startup and winterization plans online sits near the top. There is no honest industry average to quote, because two irrigation sites with the same page count can do very different amounts of work. Ongoing search work is priced separately, month to month, with no long contract.

The repair call and the install quote are two different websites

Two people use an irrigation site, and they have nothing in common. That is the first thing that moves the price.

One is standing in the yard with water going somewhere it should not, deciding on the spot whether to call you or the next listing. That visitor needs a phone number a thumb can reach without scrolling, a text option, a form that accepts a picture of the broken head, and a straight yes or no on systems your crew did not put in.

The other is planning an install and is in no hurry. That reader wants zone layout, head selection, how you work out coverage, what happens to the lawn and beds already there, permits and water taps, and where a smart controller fits.

Build both paths and you already have most of a mid-range site. Build one and you get the cheap brochure that reads fine and books almost nobody.

Then there is the part a brochure never touches. Startup and winterization are not one-off sales, they are a schedule: the customer whose valve you fix in June is the one you blow out in October. A plan page that lays the season out visit by visit, spring startup through the fall blowout with the mid-season check in between, plus a way to enroll online, turns that schedule into revenue you sell once instead of reselling every year. The generic version of this argument sits in our guide on how much a website costs.

What each end of the range buys a sprinkler company

Near $3,500 you are buying a clean, fast, plainly written site with the pages this trade needs kept apart: repair, installation and design, backflow testing, startup and winterization, the maintenance plan, and a short set of service area pages matching where you actually want to send a truck. That sounds basic. It is also where the money quietly leaks out, when all six get crammed onto one page.

In the middle of the range you are buying depth and self-service. More service area pages, written by someone who knows a twenty-minute call twenty-five miles out is not a job you want to win. A current local page on watering rules, which homeowners look up constantly and which is one of the few places a sprinkler company can show local knowledge rather than claim it. Booking with real dates instead of a request that sits in a voicemail box.

Past $12,000 you are usually buying scale or software: multi-district or multi-location coverage, a commercial and HOA side that has to speak differently than the residential side, or a customer area where existing customers book next season, update a gate code, and enroll in a plan without calling in. Custom tools are quoted separately: from $600 for a calculator, $1,500 to $4,000 for most workhorse tools, Tool Care at $75/month per tool.

At every tier, the site, the content, and the accounts belong to you.

When an irrigation build costs more, and when it costs less

More, in this trade, almost always comes from one of four places.

Less comes from the mirror image. One town, one dominant service, no online enrollment, photos you own, and quick answers to intake questions all pull toward the bottom of the range. The cheapest builds are the ones where our questions get answered the same week.

One cost lands later, not up front. A watering restrictions page has to be kept current, because allowed days, hours, and drought stages change by county and season, and a stale page can walk a homeowner into a fine. Publish one and somebody has to be responsible for rechecking it on a set schedule, which is what website maintenance covers.

What to do next, before startup season lands

The worst time to start a website is three weeks before the spring rush. Pages take time to gain any traction, and the weeks you are hiring crews are the weeks nobody can answer questions. The quiet stretch is when this gets built.

  1. Write down the two numbers only you have: what an average repair ticket brings in, and what an average install brings in. How much site to buy follows from those, not from a benchmark.
  2. List what the site has to do besides describe you: booking, plan enrollment, photo upload on repair forms, backflow explained district by district. Each is a line item, and each one you cut moves the number down.
  3. Sanity-check what you pay now. Our free what should you pay tool takes a couple of minutes and does not ask for your email.
  4. Decide how you will know it worked. We run first-party lead dashboards on more than 20 of the sites we manage, so an owner can see which calls came from search instead of guessing at the end of the season.

Monthly search work is a separate question with its own answer: see how much SEO costs for an irrigation company. The fastest way to a real number is to look at a real design.

Related questions

We mostly do repairs. Can we get away with a cheaper site?

Often yes, and a repair-heavy shop is the clearest case for the low end of the range. What you cannot cut is speed, a phone number a thumb can reach without scrolling, and a form that accepts a picture. Think twice before cutting the plan and winterization pages, since those are how one repair turns into a customer you see twice a year.

Is a template site good enough for an irrigation company?

Templates struggle exactly where this trade needs room: separate repair, install, and backflow paths, service area pages you can defend, and anything that lets a customer book or enroll on their own. The tradeoffs are written up in <a href="/blog/custom-website-vs-template">custom website versus template</a>.

How much does online booking for startups and winterization add?

It depends whether you want a booking form or a real scheduling tool. Most workhorse tools run $1,500 to $4,000, with Tool Care at $75/month per tool. The test is volume: if the office answers the same scheduling question all through a blowout rush, the tool earns its keep in labor before it does anything for marketing.
