Sprinkler Systems Installers/ Irrigaton Systems Installation – Portland Oregon West Side

Installing the Best, Most Efficient Lawn Sprinkler Systems Available

Lewis Landscape Services has been at the forefront of designing and building the best, most efficient high-tech sprinkler systems for 29 years now in the Portland west side – including SW Portland, Portland West Hills, Beaverton, Tigard, Lake Oswego and all of Washington County.

Our systems are designed first and foremost with maximum water efficiency in mind. We use upgraded pressure-regulated sprinkler heads that use 30% less water and no low-head drainage issues. We use High-Efficiency nozzles that reduce watering by up to 20% by providing more even coverage. We use flow-control valves that allow us to dial in the flow to each zone to just what is needed – preventing over-watering. We design our systems to prevent over-watering onto hardscapes and other areas of the landscape that would often get overspray with other companies’ systems. And we use state-of-the-art Rain Bird controllers that you can program from your phone and control with home automation devices such as Alexa and Google Home.

Your new sprinkler system can be set up to adjust watering automatically – daily – based on current weather conditions. Watering less on days when the ambient temperature is lower and more on hotter days, saving you big money on your water bill vs. just watering for a set time every day. The system will adjust automatically with the seasons, with this feature. In addition, you can control and adjust your sprinkler controller from anywhere in the world with the Rain Bird phone app

Properly Built Sprinkler Systems

Most local Beaverton irrigation contractors and sprinkler installers in this area are trying to be the low-bid, in an effort to win your job. Which usually means they have to take short cuts. We believe in doing things right the first time and our goal is to use the best quality and longest lasting products on the market. They’re focused on being cheap – we’re focused on quality and reliability.

In addition to the parts you chose, the methods in which we design and build out your automatic sprinkler system is better than what 95% of local irrigation companies in this area do as well. We know because we’ve seen thousands of irrigation systems in our customers yards from systems that were not installed by our company – and those customers are usually calling us to fix the problems with those sprinkler systems. The most expensive system you can get is one that isn’t designed properly and forces you to over-water and get repairs/changes done later to make up for the design flaws. Here are some of the ways we design our lawn sprinkler systems that many other local Beaverton landscaping sprinkler companies and Portland sprinkler system installers miss.

  • Clean, professional installation – Controller mounted properly, valve boxes placed in inconspicuous areas, sprinklers placed at correct height, etc.
  • Sprinkler heads, valves and controllers that are the most reliable, longest lasting on the market
  • Rain Bird Sprinkler controllers that are easy to program, can be programmed by your phone and can adjust programming automatically based on current weather.
  • Proper sprinkler spacing – head-to-head coverage – no dry spots
  • 1.25” Size Main Line – Provides 50% more flow than the standard 1” pipe, which means more heads per zone and heads spray as far as they’re supposed to – no coverage issues.
  • Use of poly pipe to each sprinkler sprinkler head – makes them flexible so they don’t break when stepped on or a mower goes over them.
  • The right sprinkler head and nozzle for the right area – sometimes taller heads are needed to get over plants or up a slope
  • Use of specialty nozzles to water tight areas without overspraying onto concrete, house or fences
  • Separate zones for plants and lawn areas – prevents over-watering.
  • Separate zones for sunny/shady areas – prevents over-watering.
  • Sprinkler Heads with sealed tops – this should be standard but isn’t – prevents water from leaking out of the low heads on each zone – saves water.
  • Use of drip irrigation in situations where it works well – saves water.

Experience & Credentials

With 29 years experience installing landscape sprinkler systems, Lewis Landscape Services has more experience installing residential lawn sprinkler systems than almost any other local sprinkler system company in the Portland Oregon area.  We are licensed sprinkler installers for irrigation systems and backflow installation by the state of Oregon (OR LCB #8112)

In addition, Lewis Landscape Services is one of only a few contractors in the Portland Oregon market to be a Rain Bird Select Contractor. Rain Bird Select Contractors are part of a network of independently owned and operated irrigation contractors that have been hand chosen by Rain Bird and are considered the best in business. Lewis Landscape has been a Select Contractor with Rain Bird since 2007.

Our owner and lead irrigation contractor, Jim Lewis was a speaker at the national Rain Bird Select Contractors conference in 2010 highlighting how our company installs water-efficient irrigation systems.

Jim has also been on the Rain Bird Advisory Council several times over the years – a group of approx. 15 contractors from various regions across the United States and Canada that meet at Rain Bird headquarters to advise Rain Bird on new products and feedback on their existing products. Irrigation systems aren’t just something we do – it’s something we’re passionate about doing – and doing right.

Rain Bird Systems – A Brand Name You Can Trust

Rain Bird is the most recognized sprinkler company name in the irrigation industry and outsells all other sprinkler brands combined and for good reason – they are known for making the most reliable products on the market. Their spray heads, nozzles and valves are the industry standard for excellence. And their sprinkler controllers are known industry-wide as the simplest to program. They are also constantly on the forefront of new technology for the irrigation industry.

We install only Rain Bird products on all of our new sprinkler system installations due to their high quality and ease of use. They also stand behind their products with the best warranty on the market. We’re proud to be partnered with the recognized industry leader and backed by the best sprinkler company as well.

We Do Not Install New Irrigation Systems in LAKE OSWEGO

We no longer install irrigation systems in Lake Oswego. The city has made the process for attaining the permit extremely cumbersome and expensive. In order to get a permit for installing a backflow device and sprinkler system the city now requires:

  • A Tree Protection Permit
  • Tree Protection Permit Fee
  • Design of the entire property showing location, name and size of all trees
  • Design for entire property showing where all trenching/digging will be done
  • Inspection and on-site meeting with a member of the Tree Protection department
  • No trenching or digging near tree roots
  • They often require a Certified Arborist to be on-site during all trenching/digging (which is usually several days at $150 per hour, our cost)

For all of these reasons it’s no longer feasible or cost-effective for us to build systems within Lake Oswego.

We’ve had Jim Lewis come by and help us with the yards at two homes over 13 years now. Both involved deconstruction and renovation. We usually have tentative ideas that Jim helps us flesh out and improve. Then the crew arrives and magic occurs. We’ve also had Lewis Landscape Services come do the annual maintenance on our irrigation. That saves us headaches and the cost of replacing dead plants next year. The office staff is kind; the crews are great; and for Jim it’s personal. It’s your home and he wants it to be right for you.

I hired Lewis Landscape after receiving a well presented estimate accompanied by recent project photos. The price was fair and the quality met my expectations. My neighbors all commented on the craftsmanship. The paver patio and walkway are now the focal point of my home. Thanks for a job well done.
