For property owners & managers

What managed irrigation actually does for the person who owns the problem.


You don't want an irrigation system. You want a landscape that looks right, a water bill you can defend, and a phone that doesn't ring at 6pm. Here's how we get you there.

The problem · Water is your fastest-rising controllable cost

Water usage reduction

Most commercial sites are watering on a fixed schedule set years ago. We replace it with ET-based scheduling that responds to actual weather, convert wasteful spray zones to drip, and control at the zone level — so you stop paying $3.4530/m³ to water in the rain.

200M+ litres saved annually across our portfolio

The problem · You find out when the bill arrives

Irrigation leak detection

A broken head or stuck valve doesn't announce itself — it runs overnight, for weeks, until it shows up on an invoice. We watch flow data for anomalies and catch failures in days, not billing cycles.

A 25 L/min leak costs $124/day in Mississauga

The problem · Break-fix means you're always reacting

Managed irrigation, not call-outs

Managed sites are monitored remotely. We see the fault, diagnose it, and in many cases correct the schedule or the controller without a truck ever leaving the yard. You hear about it in the report, not from a tenant.

Most issues resolved before a site visit

The problem · Chasing a subcontractor who won't call back

Fast response, in-house

Every crew is ours — certified, badged, and dispatched from our Milton facility. No subcontractors, no finger-pointing, no waiting on someone else's schedule. One number, one company, one accountable party.

The problem · Ownership asks and you have nothing to show

Reporting you can hand upward

Water Intelligence Reporting: consumption, savings, system health, and every event with its resolution.

The problem · Compliance is your name on the line

Compliance handled

Backflow prevention requirements, water conservation reporting, and bylaw obligations don't manage themselves. We build and maintain systems with those requirements in mind and coordinate with your compliance schedule.

Records kept, deadlines tracked

And when something does go wrong, one company owns it.

We manage both sides of the meter — the irrigation outside and the water inside. So a failure doesn't become a conversation about whose responsibility it was.

Property types

Commercial irrigation for every Mississauga property type.

Industrial

401 / 407 / 410 · Meadowvale · Airport lands

One of the densest industrial concentrations in Canada — large sites, long irrigation runs, and a broken line that can run for days before anyone walks past it. At $3.4530/m³ with wastewater on 100%, that gets expensive fast.

Office

City Centre · Airport Corporate Centre · Meadowvale

Campus grounds and podium plantings on restricted access, with no tolerance for daytime disruption. We schedule around building operations and monitor remotely, so most issues resolve without a truck on site.

Retail

Square One · Heartland · Erin Mills

Frontage and parking-island plantings carry the property's first impression. Watered overnight so nothing interferes with trading hours — and monitored, because vacant units are where losses hide.

Multi-Residential & Condo

City Centre

Note the billing difference: multi-unit residential is billed wastewater on 85%, not 100% — a combined $3.2561/m³. Shared amenity landscapes still pass waste to residents and the reserve fund.

Mississauga FAQ

Commercial irrigation in Mississauga — your questions.

What does commercial water cost in Mississauga?

As of April 1, 2026, Region of Peel charges businesses $1.9992 per cubic metre for water and $1.4538 per cubic metre for wastewater — a combined $3.4530/m³. Peel also charges a fixed quarterly service delivery charge based on meter size, from $433 per quarter on a 2-inch meter to over $2,700 on a 6-inch. Peel's rates are roughly 29% below the City of Toronto's, but the wastewater billing rule makes irrigation waste disproportionately expensive.

Why am I paying a sewer charge on irrigation water?

Under Peel's Wastewater By-law, industrial, commercial and institutional properties are billed wastewater on 100% of metered water. Residential customers are billed on only 85% — an allowance recognizing that some water goes outdoors and never returns to the sewer. Commercial properties get no such allowance, so irrigation water that soaks into your landscape is still billed the full wastewater rate. In practice, about 42% of what you spend on irrigation water in Mississauga is a wastewater charge on water that never reached a sewer.

How much can an undetected irrigation leak cost in Mississauga?

At Peel's 2026 commercial rate of $3.4530/m³, a continuous 25 L/min leak — roughly a broken head or stuck valve — costs about $124 a day, or $3,729 a month. A slower 10 L/min weep runs about $1,492 a month. Because irrigation often runs overnight and unattended, these failures routinely continue for weeks before anyone notices them on a bill.

Is your team certified for Peel Region?

Yes. We hold the Water Smart Irrigation Professional (WSIP) certification, a program run by Landscape Ontario in partnership with the Region of Peel, York Region, and the City of Hamilton. Our technicians also hold Irrigation Association certifications including CIT, CIC, CID and CLIA.

How quickly can you respond to a Mississauga site?

Our crews are in-house — not subcontracted — and dispatched from our facility in Milton, roughly 20 minutes from most Mississauga commercial districts. Managed sites are monitored remotely, so many issues are diagnosed and often resolved before a truck is needed.

Do you work with industrial properties along the 401 and 407?

Yes. Large industrial sites are among the most expensive places for irrigation waste to hide — long runs, few people walking the perimeter, and a fixed service delivery charge that can exceed $5,000 a year on a 4-inch meter alone. These are exactly the sites where continuous monitoring pays for itself fastest.
