Irrigation System Installation · Delmar, MD
A new sprinkler system, sized correctly for your actual water source, not guessed at. Elzey designs every system around your property's actual water source and layout.
If you're tired of hand-watering or dealing with dry patches your grass never fully recovers from, a new sprinkler system solves it for good.
Elzey designs and installs systems based on your actual water source, whether that's a well or town water, so the system is sized correctly instead of guessed at.
New sod or plantings dying within weeks is almost always a sign the irrigation wasn't planned before the landscaping went in, not a problem with the plants themselves. Elzey designs the irrigation system around your yard's actual layout and water needs from the start, so new landscaping has what it needs to survive instead of being an afterthought.
Calling multiple contractors and getting no response back is one of the most common frustrations homeowners run into with irrigation work. When you call Elzey, you're reaching Otis directly, not leaving a message that goes nowhere. That's true whether you're getting a quote or already mid-project.
Whether your home runs on well water or town water changes how a system needs to be sized and designed, and skipping that step leads to systems that underperform or strain your water source. Elzey checks your water source, pump size, and pressure before designing your system, so it's built around what your property can actually support.
Sprinklers that miss entire sections of the yard usually mean the system wasn't planned around the property's actual shape and coverage needs. Elzey designs zone layouts based on a real walkthrough of your yard, not a generic template, so water reaches every area it's supposed to instead of leaving dry patches behind.
Installing an irrigation system does require some digging, but how much depends on how the job is planned and executed. Elzey lays out trenching to minimize disruption to established landscaping and restores the yard once work is complete, so you're not left with more torn-up ground than the job actually requires.
New sod and plantings need consistent, adequate watering to establish roots, and if the irrigation system isn't sized or planned around that need from the start, dry patches show up fast, sometimes within just a couple of weeks. Planning irrigation alongside landscaping, rather than adding it in after the fact, is what keeps new plantings alive long enough to take root.
Cost depends on the size of your yard, the number of zones needed, your water source, and the complexity of the layout, so it varies property to property. Elzey walks your yard and checks your water source and pressure before providing a written quote based on your specific setup, not a flat estimate that doesn't reflect what your property actually needs.
Yes. Well systems and town water have different pressure and flow characteristics, and a system designed without accounting for that can underperform or put unnecessary strain on a well. Elzey checks your water source, pump size, pressure switch, and flow rate before designing your system, so it's built around what your specific water source can support.
Some trenching is necessary to run irrigation lines, but a well-planned installation keeps that disruption limited and restores the yard once the work is finished. Elzey plans trenching routes around existing landscaping wherever possible, so you're not left with more disturbed ground than the project actually calls for.
It depends on your yard's size, sun exposure, plant types, and water pressure, since different areas often need different watering schedules. Elzey walks your property and designs zones around those specific factors, rather than a standard number applied to every yard regardless of layout.

"We live in a community where many of us got together to hire one irrigation company to winterize our irrigation for most of our neighborhood. We contacted five or six to inquire about a group rate and Elzey Services provided the lowest price for a high-quality service. We were also pleased to discover that it's a family run local business. Always good to support these types of businesses."
