East Gwillimbury is 5–15 minutes from our base — our fastest response anywhere. Sharon, Holland Landing, Queensville, Mount Albert and the rural concessions. New-build installs, repair, seasonal service and Hydrawise smart upgrades, published pricing, 3-year warranty.
Time to wake the system up. We slow-pressurize the mainline, test every zone, check heads and nozzles, and program the controller for the season — a full system start-up before we leave.
Spring openings from $90 (1–4 zones)
Stuck valves, broken heads, mystery wet spots, pressure drops, a controller that's lost the plot — this is prime time to fix it before the summer heat exposes it. East Gwillimbury gets same-day repair slots in season for addresses booked before 11 AM, subject to availability.
$95 service call + parts & labour
One hard frost on a system full of water cracks fittings, valves and backflow devices. We run a pro low-pressure compressor blow-out — every lateral and the mainline emptied — before the freeze hits. Book by mid-October.
Fall closings from $90 (1–4 zones)
East Gwillimbury borders Newmarket, so an EG address gets our fastest routing of anywhere we serve — often 5 to 15 minutes door to door. For a broken head spraying sideways or a zone that won't shut off, that response time is the whole ballgame.
EG is one of the fastest-growing municipalities in York Region. The Queensville, Sharon and Holland Landing new-build communities are going in fast, and a lot of those brand-new lawns are getting their first irrigation system — while the older properties in Mount Albert and out on the concessions are on well-water and want a design that respects the pump.
If you've just taken possession in one of the Queensville or Sharon Hills communities, the ideal time to put irrigation in is before or right after the sod establishes — trenching a finished, mature lawn is more disruptive and more expensive. We're happy to walk a new lot and design a system sized for the finished landscape plan, not just the bare dirt you're standing on today.

Custom quote by run length
Most East Gwillimbury systems we service run controllers that pre-date WiFi. Swap the old timer for a Hunter HPC-400 Hydrawise and the system starts thinking for itself — typical install runs under 90 minutes, and generic-timer households typically cut seasonal watering 30–40%.
We publish pricing because trust starts before the call. Spring openings and fall closings are flat-rate services covering the system check and standard adjustments (alignment, arc, rotation — head replacement is a separate repair line). Any repairs needed are flagged on-site, quoted separately, and only carried out after your approval.

Every spring opening across East Gwillimbury includes a full system check before we leave the property:
Backflow testing is a separately-licensed trade in Ontario. PJL does not service backflow assemblies but can refer you to a certified tester if yours needs annual recertification.
In East Gwillimbury, the safe window for spring opening is typically the second week of April through mid-May, after the last hard frost. Opening too early risks freeze damage to backflow assemblies and exposed risers. EG is directly north of our Newmarket base — book early in March to lock in your preferred week.
Our service call (mobilization + on-site assessment) is $95. Repair labour is billed at $95 from there. Common parts costs: sprinkler head replacement $68, pipe break repair from $120, full 3-valve manifold rebuild starting at $135 plus valves. If our AI-Smart-Intake diagnostic tool correctly predicts the fix, you get one hour of repair labour free on the diagnosed work — our only standing discount.
Yes — East Gwillimbury is our fastest-response service area. Sharon and Holland Landing are 5-10 minutes from our Newmarket base, Mount Albert and Queensville about 15. In-season we hold same-day repair slots for bookings made before 11 AM, typically 1-3 hours from your call to on-site arrival.
East Gwillimbury falls under York Region's Outdoor Water-Use Bylaw. From May 15 to September 30, lawn watering is permitted on odd-numbered calendar days for odd-numbered house addresses and even-numbered days for even addresses, between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. or 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. New sod and seed get a one-month grace period. Properties on private wells fall outside the municipal bylaw, but we still program controllers to a sensible schedule. We set this automatically during spring opening.
The Ontario frost line is approximately 1.2 metres (4 feet) in the York Region, but irrigation lines don't need to be buried that deep — they're drained and pressurized only during the warm months. PJL buries mainlines 8–12 inches deep and laterals 6–8 inches deep, which is standard for the GTA. Fall winterization (compressor blowout) is what protects them from freeze damage, not depth.
Yes — Hydrawise retrofits are one of our specialties. Patrick is Hunter-certified through Hunter University, and we install Hunter HPC-400 Hydrawise WiFi controllers on existing systems regularly. Pricing: $595 for 1–4 zones, $750 for 5–7 zones, $1,195 for 8–16 zones, all-in. Typical install takes under 90 minutes.
We service every East Gwillimbury community including Sharon, Holland Landing, Mount Albert, Queensville, Brown Hill, Ravenshoe, Sharon Hills, Anchor Woods, Holland Landing Estates, and the rural concessions along Mount Albert Road, Holborn Road, and the Highway 48 corridor. Many EG rural properties run on private wells — we handle pump-aware design as part of every rural quote.
Five to fifteen minutes from base. Same-day repair in season, free install quotes.
