Six services. One certified team.
Across the entire Greater Toronto Area.
Spring start-up, mid-season inspections, winterization, repairs, retrofits, and full installations — performed by CIT-certified technicians on staff, from Toronto to Niagara. The irrigation contractor commercial property managers call when the system has to actually work.
Six services. Everything irrigation, under one team.
From the first spring start-up to the last winterization blow-out, we self-perform every irrigation service a commercial property needs — by our own certified field crews, with documentation after every visit. No subcontractors. No handoffs. No finger-pointing.
Spring Start-Up
Bring your irrigation system back online for the season — safely, methodically, and with documentation. We pressurize the system, walk every zone, replace what didn't survive the winter, and re-program the controller for current conditions.
- Backflow preventer re-commissioning & test
- Zone-by-zone pressure check
- Head & nozzle inspection / replacement
- Controller re-programming for spring conditions
Mid-Season Inspection
The mid-summer tune-up most contractors skip. We catch broken heads, drifted spray patterns, and clock drift before they cost a full season's worth of overwatering. The single highest-ROI service in the calendar.
- Run every zone, observe coverage and uniformity
- Adjust spray patterns & head heights
- Recalibrate controller for peak-season weather
- Flag any issues before they become breakdowns
Winterization
The most important service of the year in Ontario. A missed line costs five figures in spring repairs. We blow out every line with industrial compressed air, drain the backflow, and document the shutdown — site by site, zone by zone.
- Industrial compressor blow-out of every line
- Backflow drain & insulation
- Controller shut-down & documentation
- Written winterization certificate per property
Service + Repairs
Broken heads, mainline leaks, stuck valves, failed solenoids, wiring problems. We diagnose, dig, repair, and restore — all by our own field team. Same-day or next-day response for most issues across the GTA & Golden Horseshoe.
- Mainline & lateral leak repair
- Valve & solenoid replacement
- Controller & wiring troubleshooting
- Sod & landscape restoration after digs
Retrofitting
Bring an aging system up to current standards. We upgrade legacy controllers to Wi-Fi or cellular smart units, swap inefficient spray heads for high-efficiency nozzles, and convert planting beds to sub-surface drip. Typically pays back in one to two seasons.
- Smart controller upgrades (Hunter Hydrawise, Rain Bird IQ)
- MP rotator & high-efficiency nozzle conversion
- Drip irrigation conversion for planting beds
- Zone consolidation & system rebuild
Installation
For new builds, major renovations, or properties without an existing system — full irrigation design and turnkey installation. AutoCAD drawings, hydraulic calculations, fixture specifications, and certified install by our own crew, coordinated with your landscape architect.
- AutoCAD-based design drawings
- Hydraulic calculations & pressure mapping
- Spec packages ready for tender
- Turnkey install, commissioning & warranty
Why property managers pick SMART over other irrigation contractors.
There are hundreds of irrigation contractors across the GTA and Golden Horseshoe. We're not the cheapest, and we don't pretend to be. Here's what we offer that most of the others don't.
750+ commercial properties under active service.
Most regional irrigation contractors operate at 50–150 commercial accounts. We're at 750+. That difference shows up in scheduling reliability, parts inventory, technician coverage, and the institutional knowledge of how Ontario commercial irrigation actually breaks.
CIT-certified technicians, on staff. No subcontractors.
Every technician on a property is on our payroll, CIT (Certified Irrigation Technician) credentialed, and trained internally. We don't sub work out to whoever's available — the same team installs, services, and stands behind the work.
Ontario — one accountable team.
Most regional contractors cover one sub-region. We service the entire Golden Horseshoe under a single operations team. Whether your portfolio is Mississauga, Milton, Hamilton, or St. Catharines, you call one number.
Advanced Control Systems — Specialists.
Most contractors are loyal to one manufacturer because of margin or training.
Service reports, not just invoices.
Every visit produces documentation — zones tested, parts replaced, runtime configured, issues flagged, and our expert recommendations. Photos where it matters. The kind of paper trail your ownership and asset management teams actually want.
Twenty seasons and counting.
SMART Watering Systems was founded in 2007. Through every winter, every drought year, every spring with hundreds of properties demanding start-up the same week. That kind of operational maturity is hard for a newer contractor to match.
