Dry patches, soggy beds and high water bills usually mean the system wasn’t designed for the yard. Ridgewell provides sprinkler system installation in Denver, plus drip irrigation and smart controllers, planned around your lawn, plants and local watering rules.
A better result starts with
the right questions.
Design zones and heads for even coverage.
Use drip, efficient nozzles and a smart controller.
Upgrade or replace it with a system matched to the landscape.

Lawn, shrubs, perennials and trees all need different amounts of water. We design separate zones, choose sprays, rotors or drip for each and set the controller to match.
Explore the design options, materials,
installation process and common questions.

Irrigation installation in Denver has to balance healthy plants with water conservation. As an irrigation contractor in Denver, Ridgewell designs and installs sprinkler systems for lawns, drip irrigation for beds and smart controllers that adjust to the weather.
Because we also design and install landscapes, your irrigation is planned with the planting, not added as an afterthought. Irrigation systems carry a 1-year warranty.
Sprinkler installation in Denver, CO starts with water pressure, lawn shape and sun exposure. We lay out heads for head-to-head coverage, separate sunny and shady zones and choose efficient nozzles so water soaks in instead of running onto the sidewalk.
Drip irrigation installation in Denver puts water at the roots of shrubs, perennials and trees, with far less evaporation than spray heads. It’s the standard for planting beds and for irrigation for xeriscape projects. See our xeriscape landscaping.
Irrigation system design in Denver groups plants by water needs into separate zones, sizes pipe for your pressure and flow and includes the required backflow prevention. Colorado requires an approved backflow preventer on irrigation systems connected to drinking water, and many providers require annual testing.
Smart irrigation controller installation lets the system adjust watering to weather and season, which saves water and helps you follow Denver Water’s summer rules (no more than three watering days a week and no daytime watering during the hottest hours). Rules can change, so check your provider’s current schedule.
An older system can often be improved with a sprinkler system upgrade: new heads and nozzles, drip conversion for beds, a smart controller and repaired leaks. When the layout no longer matches the landscape, a redesigned system is the better investment. Systems also need to be winterized before hard freezes to prevent burst pipes.
We meet in person, walk the space and listen. Whether you come in with a full vision or just a few ideas, we help shape the direction by asking about what matters most in your outdoor space.
Francisco and his team create a design based on your input, your property and the surrounding environment. Every design is unique.
We present the design, walk you through the options and provide a detailed quote within five days, often with “good, better, best” pricing tiers.
When you’re ready, we finalize the contract and lock in your timeline. Payments: 50% on the first day of work, 25% at about 75% completion and 25% at completion and your full satisfaction.
Our crews build with precision and care, then walk the finished project with you. We don’t collect the final payment until you’re completely satisfied.
We install sprinkler and drip irrigation systems in Denver and across the Greater Denver Metro, including Centennial, Aurora, Littleton, Parker, Lakewood, Arvada, Broomfield and Brighton.

It depends on yard size, number of zones, lawn versus drip and the controller. We price each system from a design.
For planting beds, yes; drip wastes far less water. Lawns still need spray or rotor heads.
Yes. Colorado requires approved backflow prevention on irrigation systems connected to drinking water, and many providers require annual testing.
Denver Water’s summer rules limit watering to no more than three days a week and prohibit daytime watering during the hottest hours. Check your provider for current rules.
Yes. We can add drip zones, efficient nozzles and a smart controller or redesign the system.
Irrigation systems are covered by a 1-year warranty.

Design, communication and the finished result.
Here’s what mattered to them.
“They are the best. We have a small backyard and needed it to reflect a relaxing and enjoyable space. Chris used our ideas and came up with the perfect design. Then Francisco came with the cost projections and worked to accommodate our budget. He and his team then used their considerable construction expertise to create a space that’s an extension of our home where we spend a lot of time. Thank you for creating such a welcoming space.”
“I am new to Colorado and hired Chris and Francisco to design and implement a plan for my new build house. From design to finish and followup they were beyond my expectations. They are in constant contact throughout the project and their crew is very hardworking. They followup when the project is finished and are always available for whatever questions you may have. I would highly recommend them, and I get many complements on the work they have done for me.”
“We were thrilled with the end result of our brick paver patio refurbishment. We hired Chris, Francisco and their team to fix our sinking brick paver patio. It had been installed by a different landscaper, and after only 2 years it was collapsing. Boo hiss! Ridgewell Landscape and Design came in and saved the day! They discovered the original installation was done incorrectly, and that’s why it was collapsing. Their team worked hard and got the project done quickly and professionally. We are thrilled with the look and finish of the job! Bravo!!”
