Raleigh Pro Landscape provides professional irrigation system installation, repair, and maintenance for homes and businesses throughout Raleigh, SC. Every system we install is fully City of Raleigh-compliant and designed to maximize plant health within current drought restrictions.
Raleigh homeowners face a unique irrigation challenge. City of Raleigh Stage 3 drought restrictions limit sprinkler watering to once per week on your designated day between 5am to 10am and 9pm to midnight. That means your irrigation system must deliver the right amount of water to every zone in a single watering window. An inefficient system with poor coverage, broken heads, or outdated programming wastes your one weekly opportunity and leaves your landscape stressed.
Important 2026 City of Raleigh Change
Starting January 2026, City of Raleigh requires all newly installed irrigation systems to pass an operational inspection by a City of Raleigh-licensed inspector before the water account hold is released. This inspection includes soil depth verification requiring a minimum of 4 inches of topsoil with 6 percent organic material under new sod, and full system operational testing. Many irrigation installers in Raleigh are not yet prepared for these new requirements.
Raleigh Pro Landscape handles the entire process — plan submission to City of Raleigh, professional installation by licensed irrigators, and inspection coordination — so you do not have to navigate the new requirements yourself. We have been building to these standards since the requirements were announced and have not had a failed inspection.
Our Irrigation Services
We design and install new irrigation systems with complete City of Raleigh plan review included. Our systems use matched precipitation rate heads for even coverage, dedicated drip zones for garden beds and xeriscaping, smart controllers that automatically adjust to current City of Raleigh stage restrictions and weather conditions, rain and soil moisture sensors that prevent watering when it is not needed, and backflow preventers that meet current code requirements.
For existing systems, we provide complete repair and troubleshooting for all brands and ages, sprinkler head replacement and adjustment for proper coverage, smart controller upgrades to replace outdated timers, conversion of traditional spray zones to drip irrigation for beds, seasonal system adjustments when City of Raleigh changes drought stages, and annual system audits to identify leaks, coverage gaps, and efficiency improvements.
