Irrigation Services
Spring Activation
Spring irrigation activations start at $125.
During this service, we will turn your irrigation system back on for the season and perform a complete system inspection to ensure everything is operating properly and efficiently. This includes checking the performance of all valves, sprinkler heads, and drip irrigation zones, as well as evaluating overall coverage to help eliminate dry spots and overwatering.
We will make any necessary adjustments to heads and nozzles, clean around rotary heads to help prevent debris from damaging seals and causing leaks, and inspect the system for any visible issues or needed repairs. If repairs or improvements are recommended, we will review our findings with you before proceeding.
To finish the visit, we will program your irrigation controller with seasonally appropriate spring watering settings to help promote healthy lawn and plant growth while maximizing water efficiency.
Service Call/Repairs
Do you notice dry brown spots, weak coverage, or overly saturated areas in your lawn during the summer months? If so, give Barefoot a call.
Our irrigation service visits start at $125 and include up to one hour of on-site diagnostics to properly identify the source of your irrigation issues. Whether the problem is related to coverage, pressure, valves, wiring, leaks, or controller settings, we take the time to diagnose the system correctly instead of applying temporary fixes.
As an owner-operated company with a background in horticulture and irrigation, we focus on long-term solutions that improve system performance, water efficiency, and overall lawn health.
For larger repair projects, the diagnostic fee may be credited toward the final repair cost.
Sprinkler System Winterization
Irrigation winterizations are essential on Long Island due to freezing winter temperatures that can cause significant damage to irrigation systems if not properly prepared for the season.
Our winterization services start at $125 for systems up to 10 zones, with additional zones priced at $10 per zone thereafter. Customers located within a 5-mile radius may qualify for a $50 route discount based on scheduling and availability.
During this service, we will fully winterize your irrigation system by introducing compressed air throughout the system to clear water from irrigation lines, manifolds, valves, sprinkler heads, and drip irrigation components. We will also winterize the backflow prevention device if applicable and shut down your irrigation controller for the winter season.
Proper winterization helps protect your system from freeze damage, broken pipes, cracked valves, and costly spring repairs.
Free Sprinkler System Installation Estimates
All irrigation system installation estimates are provided free of charge.
During the consultation, we will evaluate your available water pressure and flow rate to properly determine sprinkler head capacity, zone sizing, and overall system performance. We will then take detailed measurements of the property and design a custom irrigation system tailored to the specific conditions and needs of your landscape.
Our system designs are carefully planned to provide adequate pressure, proper head spacing, efficient coverage, and consistent watering rates throughout the property. When designing your system, we take important site variables into consideration including sun and shade exposure, soil conditions, slope, drainage, microclimates, and the specific watering requirements of your lawn, trees, shrubs, and planting beds.
Our goal is to install an irrigation system that promotes healthier plant growth, maximizes water efficiency, and delivers long-term reliability.
Wi-Fi Controller Upgrades
Traditional irrigation controllers are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Upgrade your existing sprinkler timer to a modern Hunter Hydrawise® Wi-Fi smart controller and take full control of your irrigation system from anywhere using your smartphone.
Hydrawise smart controllers use highly accurate local weather data, rainfall totals, forecasts, and historical weather patterns to automatically adjust watering schedules based on your landscape’s actual needs. This helps reduce unnecessary water usage while promoting healthier lawns, trees, and planting beds by preventing overwatering, runoff, fungal disease, and excess insect pressure.
At Barefoot Lighting & Irrigation, we go far beyond a basic controller swap. Every smart controller upgrade is professionally installed and fully configured to ensure optimal system performance and ease of use for the homeowner. Our installations include:
• Clean, level controller installation
• Complete Wi-Fi and app setup
• Zone labeling and custom naming
• Full zone testing and system checks
• Seasonal programming and scheduling
• System photos and documentation
• Customer walkthrough and operational guidance
As an owner-operated company with a background in horticulture, irrigation, and plant health sciences, we take pride in providing a higher level of service, attention to detail, and system knowledge than many standard irrigation companies.
Hunter Hydrawise® smart controller upgrades start at $499.99 for systems up to 7 zones with existing compatible wiring. Contact Barefoot today to modernize your irrigation system and improve your property’s water efficiency.
Free Zone Add-On and Zone Conversion Estimates
Recently clear land for a new lawn, landscape, or outdoor living area? Contact Barefoot Lighting & Irrigation for a free estimate on irrigation zone additions and system expansions.
Most irrigation zone add-ons start at $1,200 depending on the size of the area, water source availability, pipe routing, and overall system requirements.
If you are tired of traditional mist heads over-spraying onto your home, walkways, or pavers, we can also evaluate your existing garden zones and convert them into more efficient drip irrigation systems. Drip irrigation significantly reduces runoff, overspray, and water waste while allowing us to deliver more precise watering directly to the root zones of individual plants.
Traditional spray irrigation works well when all plants within a zone have similar watering requirements, however this is rarely the case in most landscape beds. Many ornamental trees and shrubs perform poorly with excessive overhead irrigation, particularly in areas with limited airflow. Boxwoods, for example, are especially susceptible to fungal issues such as boxwood blight when exposed to prolonged leaf moisture from overhead watering.
Drip irrigation systems provide a cleaner, more efficient solution by applying water slowly and directly into the soil where plants can absorb and utilize it more effectively. This helps promote healthier root development, improved plant health, and greater overall water efficiency throughout the landscape.
Satisfaction Guarantee
All repairs and installs come with a 2-year warranty. Warranty does not cover products damaged by freezing temperatures, lawn mowers, animals, people, vehicles, falling trees and other types of machinery.
