Sandy has highly variable soils due to its position between the Salt Lake Valley floor and the Wasatch foothills. Lower, flatter areas commonly have silty clay soils formed from ancient lakebeds. These soils are very deep, poorly drained, and prone to puddling if watered too quickly. Higher bench and hillside areas tend to have sandier, rockier soils that drain very fast and hold little moisture. Many properties benefit from soil amendments (compost, organic matter) to improve both drainage in clay soils and water retention in sandy soils.
We are licensed with Utah's Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL) to perform landscape irrigation services in Sandy. 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.
Looking for a second opinion? 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.

Sandy City provides culinary (treated drinking) water for homes and businesses, sourced from local creeks, Deer Creek Reservoir, and groundwater wells. This water may be used for irrigation where no secondary system exists. Rates are tiered by usage. A typical ¾-inch residential meter has a base charge of about $28.15/month, with the first 6,000 gallons costing roughly $1.79 per 1,000 gallons, increasing to over $5.50 per 1,000 gallons at higher usage levels. Sandy does not operate a citywide secondary irrigation system for private yards, though some subdivisions may receive pressurized irrigation from separate irrigation districts. City parks do use non-potable irrigation water, but those rates are not billed to residents.
Without a municipal secondary system, irrigation timing in Sandy follows climate conditions. The average first fall freeze occurs around late September, and the last spring freeze around mid-May. Sandy City typically begins winterizing park irrigation systems in mid-October. Homeowners should plan to shut down sprinklers once nighttime temperatures regularly reach freezing in fall and resume watering after mid-May, depending on weather.
Sandy City enforces a mandatory time-of-day watering restriction: no outdoor irrigation between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., every day. This rule applies to both residential and commercial properties. Sandy does not currently enforce an odd/even address schedule. Additional restrictions may be imposed during extreme drought conditions, but under normal circumstances the primary regulation is the 10–6 watering ban.
Sandy does not run its own standalone irrigation rebate program. Instead, residents are directed to statewide and regional programs such as Utah Water Savers / Slow the Flow, which offer rebates for smart irrigation controllers, turf replacement, and water-efficient landscaping. Sandy has participated in pilot programs in the past (such as Localscapes or park-strip conversions), but current incentives are primarily administered through state and water-district programs.
Sandy City requires approved backflow prevention assemblies on all irrigation connections to protect the drinking water supply. Engineering standards require a separate irrigation meter and a code-approved backflow device (commonly a reduced-pressure [RP] assembly or approved vacuum breaker) installed per Utah plumbing code. These devices must meet ASSE standards and are subject to testing and inspection as required by state law.
