King City is estate-and-acreage country, and that's exactly the kind of property a designed irrigation system is built for. Multi-zone installs, well-water systems, repair, seasonal service and Hydrawise smart control — 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. King City 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)
King City properties don't look like subdivision lots and they shouldn't be watered like them. Big frontages, mature landscaping, long hedge lines, and — on the rural concessions — well-water supply that changes how a system has to be pressured and scheduled. This is estate work, and it's some of our favourite.
From Kingscross Estates and Patricia Drive through Mary Lake, Eversley and the King Township concessions, we design and service systems that often run 10+ zones with drip overlay on the gardens. On well-water properties we pay close attention to pump capacity and cycle timing so a big system doesn't outrun the supply.
A lot of King City acreage runs on a well rather than municipal supply. That means the system has to be designed around the pump's flow rate — over-zone it and the pressure collapses mid-cycle. We size zones to the available flow, stagger start times, and set the Hydrawise controller so the pump is never asked for more than it can give. Municipal-supply lots in King City Village are more conventional 4–8 zone builds.

Custom quote by run length
Most King City 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 King City 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 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.
