Sprinkler installation, repair, smart-controller retrofits, and seasonal service for condo corporations, churches, retail plazas, professional buildings, and funeral homes across Newmarket and the broader GTA. Founder-led design, written quotes, scheduled maintenance contracts, 3-year warranty.
PJL is founder-led, so the realistic project size is small-to-medium commercial — properties measured in zones, not acres. Below is the typical mix.
Townhouse and condo complex common areas. Property-manager-friendly reporting, written drawings on file for the board, smart controllers managed remotely.
Lawn, garden beds, and memorial-area irrigation. Scheduled around services and events. Volunteer-board-friendly fixed-price quoting.
Office buildings, medical / dental plazas, professional services. Curb appeal matters — clean turf and beds without the in-house maintenance burden.
Small retail plazas, strip-mall landscape strips, parking-island irrigation. Tight scheduling around tenant operating hours.
Properties where appearance matters every single day. Reliable, low-failure systems with redundancy where the visit cadence demands it.
Independent businesses, light-industrial offices, mixed-use buildings. Custom-quoted to scale.
PJL doesn't take on sports fields, golf courses, agricultural / farm irrigation, or large industrial sites. Those need specialized equipment and crew sizes outside our scope. If your property fits one of those categories, we'd rather refer you to someone better-suited than over-promise.
Active service season runs April through October across the GTA. Through the winter we're available for site consultations, project planning, and next-season quotes — but live installs, seasonal openings, and most repairs happen during the active season. Indoor shut-off valve emergencies are the rare winter exception. Pricing scales with property size — fixed-price written quote after a site visit, no estimating-by-phone.
Custom design with site visit, drawings, and fixed quote. Hunter Hydrawise smart controller standard. Every install includes commissioning, walk-through, and a 3-year parts-and-labour warranty.
Custom-quotedSlow re-pressurization, full leak inspection, zone-by-zone test, nozzle adjustment, controller programming for the season. Reporting deliverable provided to property manager. Tiered by zone count: 1-4z $145, 5-8z $255, 9+z custom-quoted.
From $145Pro low-pressure compressor blow-out, sized to property zone count and pipe diameter. Critical for clay-heavy GTA soils — frozen mainlines are expensive. Tiered by zone count: 1-4z $145, 5-8z $255, 9+z custom-quoted.
From $145Stuck valves, broken heads, mainline leaks, controller faults. Same-day or next-day across the core service area; scheduled into route days for extended-coverage properties.
Parts + labour, 1-yr guaranteeReplace old time-clock controllers. Property manager gets remote dashboards: water usage by zone, failure alerts, pause-on-demand for paving / landscaping work. Pays for itself in 1-3 seasons via water-bill reduction.
From $595 — scales by zone countBundled spring + mid-season + fall annual visits at one flat rate, plus priority scheduling for in-season repair calls. Predictable budgeting for property managers and condo boards.
Annual or multi-yearA parking-lot planter island in a GTA retail plaza. Drip line laid before the plants go in — once the daylilies and ornamental grasses are planted, the irrigation is already running. The right sequence keeps things growing without dragging hoses or hand-watering during establishment.
The same things that work for residential customers translate cleanly to small-to-medium commercial — sometimes better, because property managers are even more sensitive to the things commercial irrigation contractors get wrong.
No franchise routing. No sales rep handing the project to a crew you've never met. Patrick Lalande oversees every project end-to-end — quote, design, install day, commissioning, walk-through, and warranty calls in year three. The person who quoted the work is the same point of contact you call when something goes wrong.
Fixed-price written quotes after the site visit — no "starting at" pricing, no surprise upcharges on install day. Written design drawings the board can keep on file. Written commissioning report after install. Property managers love a paper trail; we work the way they do.
Every commercial install includes a Hunter Hydrawise smart controller. The property manager (or board) gets a remote dashboard with water-usage tracking, failure alerts, and the ability to pause zones during paving / landscaping work without a service call. Reduces emergency-call costs by ~30-40% over old time-clock systems in our experience.
3-year parts-and-labour warranty on every install — well above the industry-standard 1-year. PJL has been operating since 2015, and we're not going anywhere. The warranty matters because we'll still be here to honour it.
