Local sprinkler service across the Bathurst–Yonge–Bayview–Leslie corridor above Eglinton. Smart Hydrawise installs, same-day repair, spring openings from $90, fall winterization across every North York neighborhood from Willowdale to the Bridle Path.
PJL Land Services covers North York across the Bathurst–Yonge–Bayview–Leslie corridor above Eglinton, with concentrated work in Willowdale, Bayview Village, Don Mills, Bedford Park, Lawrence Park North, York Mills, Hoggs Hollow, the Bridle Path, St. Andrews–Windfields, Banbury and the Cricket Club area. We're founder-led (not a franchise route), Hunter Hydrawise certified, fully licensed and insured. The contractor who quotes the work is the one overseeing the install.
North York sits inside the City of Toronto's water-use framework but has its own operating realities — large mature-tree canopies in established neighborhoods, postwar bungalows being torn down and replaced with new builds that bring fresh irrigation needs, and a heavy mix of estate-scale properties (the Bridle Path corridor) right next to denser postwar subdivisions (Willowdale, Don Mills). One template doesn't fit all of it.
Most North York systems we service are retrofits onto properties built between the 1950s and 1990s — original controllers are pre-WiFi, original heads are crumbling under decades of freeze-thaw cycles, and zone layouts no longer match the landscaping (which has been changed at least once). On the estate-property side, we frequently see oversized systems running on undersized pressure, where a smart redesign cuts water use by 30%+ without losing coverage. We do that math on a free site visit before quoting.
Every service below is available 7 days a week from April through October across the corridor.
Slow re-pressurization, leak inspection, zone-by-zone test, nozzle adjustment, Hydrawise programming for the season. ~35-50 min on a typical North York residential lot.
From $90 (4 zones)Pro low-pressure compressor blow-out — every line emptied so nothing freezes and cracks over winter. Book by mid-October before the first hard frost.
From $90 (4 zones)Stuck valves, broken heads, mystery wet spots, pressure problems, controller faults. Same-day across North York during season.
$45–$420 typicalCustom design with Hunter Hydrawise smart controller as standard. North York builds range from 4-zone postwar lots in Willowdale to 15+ zone estates in the Bridle Path corridor.
Calculator pricing by zone count*Upgrade old timer-based controllers to Hydrawise. Especially common across North York's older subdivisions with mature systems from the 90s and 2000s.
From $595Custom LED design, marine-grade fixtures, smart app control. Path, accent, downlighting for any North York property.
$1,400–$8,000+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 North York 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 North York, the safe window for spring opening is typically mid-April through mid-May, after the last hard frost. The urban heat island warms the city corridor a touch faster than the surrounding GTA, but it's still smart to wait for hardened soil to avoid 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 — during the active irrigation season (mid-April to mid-October), we hold same-day repair slots for North York addresses booked before 11 AM, subject to availability. North York is 30-45 minutes from our Newmarket base via Highway 404 / Yonge Street; most calls land within 3-5 hours of dispatch.
North York falls under the City of Toronto's Water Supply By-law (Municipal Code Chapter 851). Unlike York Region just to the north, the City does NOT enforce a permanent mandatory odd/even watering schedule — Toronto Water draws from Lake Ontario and applies voluntary conservation guidance. The City's recommendation is to water deeply once per week (about 2.5 cm / 1 inch), in the morning to prevent evaporation, and never at night. The City retains authority to issue mandatory restriction orders during supply emergencies — fines start at $250. We program your controller to the voluntary guidance by default.
The Ontario frost line in the GTA is approximately 1.2 metres (4 feet), 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 southern Ontario. 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. Many North York properties run controllers from the 90s and 2000s that benefit dramatically from a retrofit.
