Irrigation System Design and Installation Services in Madison & the Greater Jackson, MS Metro Area
Founded in 2025 by a team of local contractors, Madison Elite Irrigation brings more than 74 years of combined experience designing and installing irrigation systems tailored specifically to Mississippi landscapes. Our approach is built on precision planning, quality craftsmanship, and a practical understanding of how local soil composition, plant requirements, and regional climate conditions influence irrigation performance over time.
A professionally designed and installed irrigation system is essential for delivering consistent, efficient water throughout your landscape. In Mississippi, clay-heavy soils, varying plant types, and seasonal weather fluctuations demand systems that are engineered for the property, not assembled from generic layouts. Proper design ensures water is applied evenly, absorbed effectively, and delivered where it is needed most—without unnecessary runoff or waste.
Our irrigation system design and installation services focus on accurate zone layout, appropriate pressure regulation, and long-term system reliability. Each system is carefully planned to align with your landscape’s layout, plant material, and usage patterns. By integrating irrigation infrastructure seamlessly into the landscape, we help promote healthy plant growth, improve water efficiency, and reduce long-term maintenance concerns.

Professional Irrigation System Design for Local Conditions
Irrigation system design is the foundation of system performance. Before any installation begins, we evaluate your property to ensure water is delivered efficiently and evenly across all zones.
Design considerations include:
- Turf areas vs. landscaped beds
- Soil infiltration rates and compaction
- Sun exposure and shade patterns
- Slope, runoff potential, and drainage interaction
- Water pressure and flow capacity
This information allows us to design irrigation zones that prevent runoff, overspray, and uneven coverage.
Irrigation System Types & Applications
Most properties require a combination of irrigation methods. Systems may include one or more of the following, depending on landscape needs or drainage concerns.
Sprinkler Systems (Turf and Landscape Bed Irrigation)
Sprinkler systems are designed for lawns and open turf areas where uniform coverage is critical. We install professional-grade components from Rain Bird and Hunter, including:
- Rotary sprinkler heads for large turf zones
- Fixed and adjustable spray heads for targeted coverage
- Pressure-regulating bodies to reduce misting and water loss
Proper head spacing, matched precipitation rates, and zoning are critical to performance.
Drip Irrigation Systems (Flower Beds & Shrubs)
Drip irrigation delivers water directly to the root zone, making it ideal for flower beds, shrubs, trees, and landscaped areas. Drip systems are designed to:
- Reduce evaporation and runoff
- Improve water efficiency
- Support healthier root development
We install drip components from Rain Bird and Hunter, including inline drip tubing, pressure regulators, filters, and emitters designed for long-term durability.
Smart Irrigation Controllers
Smart irrigation controllers are a key component of modern irrigation systems. These controllers adjust watering schedules automatically using weather data, seasonal changes, and site conditions.
We commonly install Rain Bird and Hunter smart controllers that offer:
- Weather-based scheduling
- Zone-specific programming
- Mobile app access and monitoring
- Water-saving automation
Smart controllers improve efficiency while maintaining consistent plant health.
Professional Installation Process
When irrigation work is coordinated with landscape construction, system design is finalized and installation is performed with precision to ensure long-term reliability.
Installation typically includes:
- Trenching and pipe placement with minimal landscape disruption
- Installation of mainlines, lateral lines, valves, and fittings
- Sprinkler head and drip line placement based on design specs
- Controller installation and electrical connections
- System pressurization, testing, and fine-tuning
All components are installed according to manufacturer specifications and industry best practices.
System Testing, Calibration & Optimization
After installation, the system is fully tested to ensure:
- Proper pressure regulation
- Accurate spray patterns and coverage
- Leak-free connections
- Correct controller programming
Zones are adjusted to match plant water requirements, ensuring efficient operation from day one.
Client Education & System Walkthrough
Following installation, we walk you through system operation, including:
- Controller programming basics
- Seasonal watering adjustments
- Signs of overwatering or underwatering
- Basic troubleshooting and maintenance awareness
This ensures you understand how to manage your system confidently.
Ongoing Support & Maintenance Options
Irrigation systems require periodic adjustments as landscapes mature and seasons change. We offer ongoing support and maintenance services that may include:
- Seasonal start-ups and shut-downs
- Zone and head adjustments
- Expert leak detection and repairs
- Controller updates and programming changes
Regular service helps extend system life and maintain peak efficiency.
Why Professional Installation Matters in Madison, MS

Frequently Asked Questions About Irrigation System Design & Installation
🔸 What types of irrigation systems do you design and install?
We design and install custom irrigation systems that may include sprinkler systems for turf areas, drip irrigation for landscaped beds and shrubs, and smart irrigation controllers for automated scheduling. Each system is designed based on property layout, plant material, soil conditions, and long-term water management needs.
🔸 How long does irrigation system installation take?
Most residential irrigation system installations are completed within one to three days, depending on system size, design complexity, and site conditions. Larger properties or multi-zone systems may require additional time to ensure proper installation and system performance.
🔸 Will irrigation installation disrupt my existing landscape?
Installation is carefully planned to minimize disruption. Trenching, pipe placement, and component installation are performed with precision, and disturbed areas are restored once installation is complete. Our goal is to integrate the system into your landscape with minimal impact.
🔸 How do I know which irrigation system is right for my property?
System design begins with a professional site evaluation, including plant types, soil composition, sun exposure, and water requirements. This allows irrigation zones, components, and controls to be designed specifically for your property, ensuring efficient and even water distribution.
🔸 Do you install smart irrigation controllers?
Yes. Smart irrigation controllers are commonly incorporated into modern irrigation systems. These controllers adjust watering schedules based on weather conditions and seasonal changes, helping improve efficiency and reduce unnecessary water use.
🔸 Do you offer maintenance services after installation?
