Dunwoody’s established family neighborhoods and generous lawns reward systems built right. We design irrigation for true head-to-head coverage and light homes to make them a landmark on the street after dark.
Dunwoody grew up in the 1970s and 80s, and its landscapes show that maturity in the best way — established lawns, tall hardwoods, and swim-and-tennis neighborhoods like Dunwoody Club Forest and Redfield where the yards have had decades to fill in. It also means much of Dunwoody's irrigation infrastructure is decades old. Many homes around Dunwoody Village and Georgetown have systems installed in another era, patched along the way, and run by controllers with sun-faded dials. The opportunity in Dunwoody is rarely starting from scratch; it is making a mature landscape and an aging system work like new — and knowing honestly when a repair is enough and when it is not.
The most common call we get from Dunwoody is not for a new system — it is a system acting its age. Zones that stopped coming on, heads buried under thirty years of turf growth, valves that weep and drown one corner of the yard, controllers that lost their program in the last power blink. Our approach in Dunwoody is diagnostic first: test everything, fix what is broken, and only recommend replacement where pipe or wiring genuinely has no life left. The single highest-value upgrade for a typical Dunwoody system is usually the simplest — swapping an old timer for a smart Wi-Fi controller, which adjusts to weather, flags problems, and cuts water use without touching a shovel. Mature Dunwoody trees also shift coverage over time; a system tuned for 1985 sun patterns needs rebalancing for today's shade.
Dunwoody's traditional homes and deep, tree-lined lots take lighting well, and the neighborhoods reward subtlety — this is not a place for runway-bright yards. We favor warm, low-voltage LED designs: soft washes on brick facades, a few uplights in the hardwoods that have anchored a Dunwoody yard since the neighborhood was built, and path lighting along the walks and drives where families actually move after dark. Around Dunwoody Club Forest and Redfield, back yards matter as much as fronts — patio, pool, and grilling areas get task and ambient light, and outdoor audio pairs naturally with those spaces. Every design starts with a dusk demonstration at your Dunwoody home with real fixtures placed on the property, so nothing is bought on faith from a catalog photo.
Dunwoody's established lawns are thirsty in a hot Georgia summer, and older systems tend to overwater by default — long, fixed run times set years ago and never revisited. A smart controller brings a Dunwoody system into line with actual weather and with Georgia's outdoor-watering guidelines without the owner having to think about it. On the other end of the calendar, winterization is not optional here: Dunwoody sees hard freezes most winters, and older PVC fittings and backflow assemblies are exactly what cracks. An autumn blowout is cheap insurance on infrastructure that has already served for decades.

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Atlanta Irrigation, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They showed up on time, clearly explained the work that needed to be done, and completed everything with great attention to detail. The quality of their work was outstanding, and my irrigation system is now running perfectly. It’s clear they take pride in what they do and genuinely care about their customers. Five stars all the way!"

"Arrived the same day I called — very prompt service. They quickly diagnosed and fixed the issue, and even went above and beyond to take care of additional problems that weren’t part of the original job. Great price as well. I’ll definitely use them again and highly recommend!"

Usually repair, honestly. Buried pipe often outlasts everything above it. In most Dunwoody homes that age, we replace worn heads and valves, modernize the controller, and rebalance coverage for today's tree shade — a fraction of the cost of a new install. We will tell you plainly on-site if yours is the exception.
Almost always. Smart Wi-Fi controllers replace the timer box, not the pipes, so they retrofit cleanly onto most existing Dunwoody systems. You get weather-based scheduling, control from your phone, and lower water use the same day it is installed. We confirm compatibility during a free on-site estimate.
Yes. We install new smart sprinkler systems and repair existing ones throughout Dunwoody and North Atlanta — broken heads, leaks, valve and controller faults, dead zones, and full system design.
We do. We design low-voltage LED landscape lighting for Dunwoody homes and bring demo fixtures to your property at dusk so you can see the exact effect before you commit a dollar.
We’re fully mobile and cover Dunwoody throughout the week, so we can often be out the same day for emergencies. Call and a real person answers to walk you through the shutoff and move you to the front of the schedule.
On-site estimates are free. Every property is different, so we quote by estimate rather than a flat rate — with no hidden fees or upsell pressure.
