Draper has mixed soils due to its valley and foothill geography. Many neighborhoods have loam or clay loam over rocky subsoil, which holds water but drains slowly. Lower areas with more clay can puddle if watered too fast, while bench and hillside soils drain quicker. Effective sprinkler systems in Draper use cycle-and-soak scheduling on clay and slightly longer runtimes on sandy or rocky zones.
We are licensed with Utah's Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL) to perform landscape irrigation services in Draper. We are also fully insured in case anything ever goes wrong.
We guarantee arrival within 48 hours (during business days) or you get $25 off the cost of your visit. During the hot summer months, Utah's cool-season grass gets hit hard by the heat. We understand that when the sprinklers break or when new plants are put into your landscape, you need service as soon as possible.

Don't wait days for someone to show up: we have an online estimate calculator and we also offer online video call and phone estimates for new system installations on properties listed on Google Maps. For sprinkler repairs, just give us a call or go to our pricing page for clearly outlined prices for every type of sprinkler repair.
When you sign up for a Storm Shield plan to professionally maintain your system, we warranty every component for 5 years. Most companies have warranties that expire after a few months, if they have them at all! We use only the highest quality parts installed by highly trained, background-checked crews.
Your safety and peace of mind is important to us. We don't hire anyone who doesn't pass a background check and drug test. Beyond that, we train our staff specifically on providing top-tier service, and we take complaints very seriously.

Draper has mixed soils due to its valley and foothill geography. Many neighborhoods have loam or clay loam over rocky subsoil, which holds water but drains slowly.

Draper homes receive water from either Draper City Water or WaterPro (Draper Irrigation Company). Many properties have secondary pressurized irrigation from WaterPro, which is far cheaper for lawns. Secondary water typically costs about $1.12–$1.49 per 1,000 gallons plus a small base fee (~$3.82/month for small lots). Culinary water is more expensive, with city rates starting around $2.22 per 1,000 gallons and rising sharply at higher usage.
Draper’s secondary irrigation system typically runs from about April 15 to October 15 each year. WaterPro pressurizes lines in mid-April and shuts them down in mid-October to prevent freeze damage. Homeowners must winterize sprinklers before the shut-off. Average freeze dates show last spring frost around April 28 and first fall frost around October 16–17, guiding safe start-up and shut-down timing.
Draper City ordinance requires all automatic sprinklers to operate only between 6:00 PM and 10:00 AM. Midday watering is prohibited due to evaporation and waste. There is no permanent odd/even day rule in normal conditions, but during drought the city may request watering no more than two days per week. Residents are also expected to avoid watering during wind or rain and prevent runoff onto sidewalks or streets.
Draper participates in Utah Water Savers and Slow the Flow programs through Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District. Available incentives commonly include smart irrigation controller rebates (around $75-100), Flip Your Strip park-strip turf removal rebates, and Localscapes® lawn-replacement rewards. Rebates for efficient toilets and occasional rain-barrel programs are also available. Draper City does not offer separate city-funded rebates beyond these programs.
Sprinkler systems connected to culinary water in Draper must have an approved PVB or RPZ backflow preventer, installed and tested annually by a certified tester. Systems using secondary irrigation only do not require a backflow device. If a property can switch between culinary and secondary water, Draper and WaterPro require an RPZ assembly and a setup that prevents both sources from being used at the same time.
