Large-acreage irrigation, smart Hydrawise installs, multi-zone estate systems and same-day repair across King City — Kingscross Estates, Mary Lake, Eversley, Springhill, and the surrounding country properties of King Township.
King City is unlike anywhere else in our service area. The lots are bigger — 0.5 to 5+ acres is common. The plantings are more elaborate — formal gardens, specimen trees, hedge mazes, fruit orchards. Many properties run on well water, which changes everything about pressure design and pump selection. And the renovation cycle is faster — King City homeowners renovate landscapes more often than the average GTA property.
This is the work we love. PJL has installed and serviced dozens of estate properties across King City and the broader King Township since 2015. We know the difference between a 4-zone subdivision install and a 22-zone estate that needs hydrozoning across formal beds, lawn sweeps, mature canopy trees, perennial borders, and a vegetable garden — all on different schedules.
For 1+ acre properties we typically use a multi-controller setup (one Hydrawise unit per zone group), separate tree-irrigation zones (RZWS or HDL drip per the Hunter brochure standard), well pump pressure regulation if you're not on municipal water, and a documented zone map you keep on file forever. Most estate installs run $12,000-$40,000+ depending on scope, with 3-year full warranty across the whole system.
Residential, estate and commercial. Booking 7 days a week from April through October.
15-30+ zone systems for 1+ acre properties. Custom hydraulic design, multi-controller setup, separate tree zones, well pump integration where needed.
$12,000–$40,000+Mature canopy trees, ornamental specimens, hedge rows. Hunter RZWS root-zone systems and HDL drip for the irrigation that turf zones can't deliver.
$80–$150 per treeEstate-scale openings take 2-3 hours given zone count. Includes full controller programming, pressure testing, and a written status report.
From $165 (9-15 zones)Tow-behind low-pressure compressor sized for estate properties. Every line empty before the first hard frost.

$4,500–$15,000+We publish pricing because trust starts before you call. Spring openings and fall closings are flat-rate services covering the 10-point system check and standard adjustments (alignment, arc, and rotation — head replacement is a separate repair line). Any repairs needed are flagged on-site, quoted separately, and only carried out after you approve them.

Every spring opening in King City includes a full 10-point system check before we leave your 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 King City, 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. We start booking in late March and prioritize repeat customers first — book early 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 — King City is one of our closest service areas. During the active irrigation season (mid-April to mid-October), we hold same-day repair slots for King City addresses booked before 11 AM, subject to availability. Outside that window, we book within 24–48 hours.
King City sits inside King Township, part of York Region. 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 9 a.m. or 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. For properties without a numbered address, premises on the north or west side use even-day windows. Properties on private wells fall outside the municipal bylaw. We program controllers to comply 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. Estate properties with multi-controller layouts are custom-quoted.
We service every King City neighborhood including King City Village, Kingscross Estates, Kingscross Drive, Mary Lake, Eversley, Springhill, Norfolk, the Patricia Drive area, the King Road corridor, the 15th and 16th Sideroad corridors, Dufferin Street, and Bathurst/Keele/Jane Street corridors out through rural King Township.
