Irrigation Systems
Protect your landscape investment and reclaim your time — with a professionally designed and installed irrigation system that delivers the right water to the right place, automatically.
Water Smarter
Set It, Forget It, and Come Home to a Green Lawn
Ohio summers are unpredictable. Some weeks bring plenty of rain; others leave your lawn and landscape struggling through weeks of heat and drought. A properly designed irrigation system takes the guesswork out of watering — delivering the right amount of water to each zone, on the right schedule, without you lifting a finger.
Post Excavating & Landscaping LLC designs and installs irrigation systems for residential properties across western Ohio and eastern Indiana. We design each system from scratch based on your specific property, water pressure, plant types, and coverage needs — not a one-size-fits-all template.

System Options
Irrigation Systems We Install
Every property is different. We design systems using the right combination of components to deliver efficient, uniform coverage for your specific landscape.
In-Ground Sprinkler Systems
Fully automated in-ground systems with pop-up heads that retract flush with the ground when not in use. Zoned by area type (lawn, beds, slopes) for precise water delivery. The most popular choice for residential lawns and landscape beds.
Drip Irrigation
Low-volume drip emitters deliver water directly to the root zone of individual plants, trees, and shrubs. Extremely water-efficient — ideal for landscape beds, vegetable gardens, and any area where overhead watering would cause disease or waste.
Smart Controller Systems
Wi-Fi-enabled smart controllers adjust watering schedules automatically based on local weather data, soil moisture, and seasonal changes. Reduce water usage by 30–50% compared to traditional timer-based controllers.
Rotor & Rotary Head Systems
Rotating heads for large lawn areas provide even coverage over wide zones. Matched precipitation rate heads ensure uniform water distribution across zones of different sizes and shapes.
Why Post Excavating & Landscaping LLC
Designed for Your Property. Not a Template.
A poorly designed irrigation system wastes water, creates dry spots, and can actually damage your lawn and plants through overwatering or uneven coverage. We take the time to properly measure your property, test your water pressure and flow rate, and design a system with matched precipitation rates across all zones.
Because we also handle landscape installation, we can integrate irrigation into new landscape projects from the start — running pipe before beds are planted and turf is established, which saves time and minimizes disruption.

The Value
Why Homeowners Invest in Irrigation
An irrigation system pays for itself in time savings, water efficiency, and the protection of your landscape investment.
Saves Time
Eliminate the time spent dragging hoses, moving sprinklers, and remembering to water. Your system runs automatically on your schedule — even when you're away.
Saves Water
Properly designed irrigation systems apply the right amount of water to each zone, eliminating the overwatering and runoff that comes with manual watering. Smart controllers can reduce usage by 30–50%.
Healthier Plants
Consistent, properly timed watering produces healthier turf and landscape plants. Avoid the stress cycles of drought and overwatering that weaken plants and invite disease.
Protects Your Investment
A landscape installation represents a significant investment. An irrigation system protects that investment by ensuring plants establish properly and thrive through Ohio's variable summer rainfall.

Our Process
From Design to First Watering
Our installation process ensures your system is properly designed, cleanly installed, and fully tested before we leave your property.
01
Design Consultation
We walk your property, measure zones, assess water pressure and flow rate, and design a system layout that provides complete, efficient coverage.
02
System Design
We create a zone-by-zone plan specifying head types, spacing, pipe sizing, and controller location — designed to match precipitation rates across all zones.
03
Trenching & Installation
We trench and install mainline and lateral pipe, head risers, and valve boxes with minimal disruption to your existing lawn and landscape.
04
Controller & Wiring
The controller is mounted, wired to all zone valves, and programmed with an initial schedule based on your plant types, soil, and sun exposure.
05
Testing & Adjustment
We run each zone, check coverage, adjust head positions and arc settings, and verify the system is delivering water exactly where it's needed.
06
Walkthrough & Training
We walk you through the controller operation, seasonal adjustment, and winterization procedure so you're confident managing your system year-round.
Common Questions
Irrigation FAQs
How much does an irrigation system cost?
Irrigation system costs vary based on property size, number of zones, head types, and controller choice. A typical residential system for a half-acre property ranges from $3,000 to $8,000 installed. We provide detailed quotes after a site visit so you know exactly what you're getting before any work begins.
Will installing an irrigation system damage my lawn?
We use narrow-blade trenching equipment that minimizes turf disruption. Trenches are typically 3–4 inches wide and heal quickly with proper watering. Most lawns show minimal evidence of the installation within 2–4 weeks.
Do I need to winterize my irrigation system?
Yes — Ohio winters require annual winterization (blowing out the system with compressed air) to prevent pipe and head damage from freezing. We offer seasonal winterization and spring startup services to keep your system in top condition year-round.
How many zones do I need?
The number of zones depends on your property size, plant types, and water pressure. A typical residential property requires 4–8 zones. Lawn areas, landscape beds, and drip zones should be separated so each area receives the right amount of water for its specific needs.
Can you add irrigation to an existing landscape?
Absolutely! Retrofitting an irrigation system into an established landscape is one of the most common projects we do. We design the system to work around existing plants and hardscape, minimizing disruption while achieving complete coverage.
What is a Smart Irrigation Controller?
Smart controllers connect to Wi-Fi and use local weather data, soil moisture sensors, and seasonal adjustment algorithms to automatically modify watering schedules. Instead of running on a fixed timer regardless of rainfall, a smart controller skips or reduces watering after rain events — saving water and preventing overwatering.
