Water Damage and Water Waste Both Start the Same Way: A System That Isn't Working Right
A Bay Area landscape only stays healthy if water gets exactly where it needs to go — and nowhere it doesn’t. That’s the whole job of an irrigation and drainage system, and it’s the only thing J&P Landscape does at this level of depth. We design and install complete systems for homes across Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Los Gatos, and the surrounding Bay Area, and we repair and manage the systems already in the ground — including ones we didn’t originally install. With 40+ years of combined experience and California Contractor License #963784, we’ve seen how Bay Area clay soil, seasonal drought, and microclimate shifts affect a system differently than they would anywhere else — and we build accordingly. Not sure which system fits your yard? Check our irrigation system guide.
- Irrigation & Drainage Services
Bay Area's Most Complete Irrigation & Drainage Services
Most companies install or repair. Very few do both — and almost none also handle the drainage work that irrigation problems so often expose. Here’s everything we cover, in one call.
Irrigation System Installation
A new system is only as good as its design. We map your property’s zones, soil type, and sun exposure before a single pipe goes in the ground, so you get even coverage instead of dry patches and runoff. See our installation cost breakdown for exact pricing.
- Custom-designed systems tailored to your property
- Automated timers and zones for efficient watering
- Professional installation with commercial-grade materials
Drip Irrigation Installation
Drip systems put water directly at the root zone instead of spraying it into the air, which is why they use up to 70% less water than traditional sprinklers. That makes them the right call for garden beds, shrubs, and drought-conscious yards.
- Precision watering for gardens and plant beds
- Significant water conservation and reduced runoff
- Easy integration with existing landscaping
Sprinkler Services
Whether you need a full sprinkler layout for a new lawn or ongoing service for an aging system, we handle installation, head replacement, and zone adjustments so coverage stays even instead of patchy.
- New sprinkler system installation and layout design
- Head, valve, and line replacement
- Smart controller upgrades for water-efficient scheduling
Irrigation Repair Services
- Leak detection and underground line repair
- Valve, controller, and zone troubleshooting
- Fast turnaround to stop water waste immediately
Drainage System Installation
Standing water doesn’t just kill plants — over time it undermines hardscaping and can affect your foundation. We design drainage solutions built for how Bay Area soil actually drains, not generic templates. If your yard floods every winter, our drainage guide covers why.
- French drains and channel drains
- Grading and surface water redirection
- Sump pump installation for chronic problem areas
Irrigation Management Services
A system that was perfectly tuned in spring can waste huge amounts of water by summer if nothing adjusts. Our management service keeps your schedule optimized year-round instead of set-and-forgotten.
- Seasonal schedule and runtime adjustments
- Full system audits to catch inefficiencies early
- Ongoing monitoring for large or multi-zone properties
- Simple, Effective, Professional

- Why Choose J&P Landscape
40+ years of Getting Bay Area Water Systems Right
Cheap components and rushed installs are why so many “new” irrigation systems fail within a few years. We build to last 15-20 years, using commercial-grade heads, valves, and controllers from manufacturers we trust — not whatever’s cheapest that week. As a fully licensed and insured California landscape contractor with 1,000+ completed projects and 11x Best of Houzz recognition, we’re accountable for the work long after the invoice is paid. And because irrigation, drainage, and drip installation are all handled by the same team, nothing falls through the cracks between separate contractors pointing fingers at each other.
