We recommend scheduling your spring start-up in April or May, depending on weather conditions, and fall winterization in October or early November, before the first hard frost. Booking early ensures you get your preferred time slot — especially during peak seasonal demand.
Yes. Axis Irrigation services and repairs all types of irrigation systems, regardless of who installed them. We’re happy to inspect your existing setup and make sure it’s running safely and efficiently.
Most residential irrigation installations are completed in 2–3 days on average, depending on property size and site conditions. Larger commercial or multi-zone systems may take longer, but we always provide an estimated timeline before starting any work.
Our spring activation includes a full inspection, gradual system pressurization, testing of all valves and rotors, adjustment of sprinkler heads, and controller programming to ensure balanced watering.
We also check for leaks, wear, or damage that may have occurred over winter.
We shut down and isolate your water supply, blow out all lines using commercial-grade air compressors, inspect all visible fittings, and power down controllers to prevent electrical drain or freeze damage. This process protects your system from costly winter damage.
Not at all — in fact, a properly designed system actually saves water. Axis Irrigation systems use smart controllers, rain sensors, and efficient nozzles that deliver the right amount of water only where it’s needed. We schedule watering for the early morning when evaporation is lowest, and each zone is tuned for even coverage — no runoff or overwatering. Most properties end up using 30–50% less water compared to manual watering with hoses or sprinklers.
At a minimum, we recommend two professional visits per year — one for spring activation and one for fall shutdown. Clients enrolled in our Annual Maintenance Program receive priority scheduling, ongoing support, and additional mid-season checks if needed.
Absolutely. We specialize in smart controller conversions that automatically adjust watering schedules based on real-time weather conditions. Smart systems save water, reduce waste, and give you full remote control via your smartphone.
We proudly serve the Halifax Regional Municipality, as well as select projects through Nova Scotia and the Greater Moncton area in New Brunswick. Please contact if unsure.

No problem — your system can adapt. Axis Irrigation designs every system with flexibility in mind. If you add new gardens, trees, or hardscaping, we can easily re-route, expand, or cap off zones without tearing everything up. Most adjustments are quick and inexpensive. Your controller already has extra capacity built in, so your irrigation can grow right along with your landscape.
