Sprinkler Installation on Whidbey Island

People move to western Washington assuming they will never need irrigation. Then July arrives on Whidbey Island and the lawn goes brown. We sit in the Olympic rain shadow , which makes our summers genuinely dry.

We design and install sprinkler systems that keep your landscape alive through that stretch without wasting water or running your well hard.

Our Sprinkler and Irrigation Services

Custom Sprinkler System Design

Every property gets its own plan. We zone based on sun exposure, slope, soil type, and plant needs, so the shady side of the house is not getting the same run time as the south-facing lawn. Good zoning is the difference between a system that works and one that floods half the yard while the other half browns out.

Sprinkler System Installation

Full installation with proper head spacing for even coverage and no dry spots. On island properties we also plan trenching around the hardpan and rock that tends to show up eighteen inches down, which is a large part of why irrigation installs here take longer than mainland quotes suggest.

Drip Irrigation for Beds and Borders

Overhead spray is wasteful for planting beds and encourages foliar disease. Drip lines put water directly at the root zone, use dramatically less of it, and keep leaves dry. For new plantings especially, drip is what gets them established through their first summer.

Sprinkler Repair and Adjustment

Broken heads, leaking valves, poor coverage, controllers nobody understands anymore. We repair and tune existing systems, including ones we did not install, and we will tell you honestly when a system is worth repairing versus replacing.

System Winterization

Island winters bring hard freezes often enough to split a line. Blowing out the system in fall is inexpensive insurance against a spring repair bill.

Irrigation Designed for Whidbey Island Water

Water sources here vary more than most places. Some properties are on city water with a meter and a rate that makes efficiency worth real money. Many are on wells with limited recovery rates, where an oversized system can genuinely outrun the supply.

We design around your actual source. That means checking available flow and pressure before drawing zones, sizing the system to what your property can deliver, and building in efficiency so you are not choosing between a green lawn and a healthy well.

Why Timing and Coverage Matter Here

Our summers are short and intense. Most island landscapes need consistent water from roughly late June through September, and almost none the rest of the year. A controller set and forgotten in April will overwater for two months and then underwater when it counts.

We set up seasonal programs, show you how to adjust them, and come back to service the system if you would rather not think about it at all.

Why Whidbey Island Property Owners Choose Evergreen

We opened in 2004, but our family has been part of this island for generations. That local knowledge is the difference between a landscape that looks good on install day and one that still looks good in year five.

• No year-round contracts. Start when you need us, stop when you don't. All we ask is a two-week notice.
• Woman-owned and operated for over 20 years, with the same owner walking properties and writing bids.
• Licensed, bonded, and insured, and members of the Concrete Masonry Hardscape Association.
• Honest estimates. If a project would make your problem worse, we will tell you instead of writing the bid.

Serving Communities Across Whidbey Island

We work the full length of the island and beyond, including Oak Harbor, Coupeville, Freeland, Greenbank, Langley, and Clinton, plus Fidalgo Island and the Skagit Valley.

Conditions change quickly here. A property in Greenbank does not drain like a property near Cornet Bay, and a bluff lot in Coupeville faces salt wind that an inland Oak Harbor yard never sees. We plan around what your specific site is doing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need a sprinkler system on Whidbey Island?

For an established lawn or new plantings, yes. The Olympic rain shadow makes our summers much drier than the rest of western Washington, and most landscapes here need supplemental water from late June through September.

Can you install a system if I am on a well?

Yes. We check your well's available flow and pressure first, then size and zone the system to match. Designing an irrigation system without knowing your well's recovery rate is how people end up running the well dry.

Do you repair systems you did not install?

We do. Repairs, adjustments, coverage problems, and controller troubleshooting on any existing system.

Should I winterize my sprinkler system?

Yes. We get hard freezes often enough that unblown lines are a real risk. A fall blowout costs far less than repairing a split line in the spring.
