Irrigation Retrofits

Water With Intention

Designed to Conserve, Adapted to Thrive, Built to Belong

Landscapes evolve. Plants mature, seasons shift, and what once worked well may no longer serve the garden, or the environment. Retrofitting your irrigation system is an opportunity to align beauty with stewardship, efficiency with care.

At Heritage Landscapes, we upgrade and refine irrigation systems only as part of broader landscape overhauls. This allows us to consider the full picture—grade, exposure, plant health, and seasonal rhythms—so water goes where it’s needed, when it’s needed, without waste or worry.

Precision Beneath the Surface

An effective irrigation system supports the long-term health of your landscape. We evaluate each zone with a fresh perspective, then redesign around current plantings, patterns of use, and what the garden needs next. Retrofitting reduces runoff, protects your investment, and offers quiet assurance—especially in dry seasons—by ensuring your system supports the land rather than straining it.

Common retrofit upgrades include:

  • High-efficiency spray nozzles and low-flow drip systems

  • Smart controllers with weather-based programming

  • Zoned adjustments to match hydrozones and sun exposure

  • Pressure regulation for even distribution and system longevityn

  • Updated valves, filters, and backflow components for compliance and reliabilit

These upgrades aren’t just about conservation—they’re about responsiveness. A good system knows when to slow down, when to pause, and how to adapt to the conditions at hand.
