Four things that separate us.
Real moments, not Pinterest boards.
We find usable areas — a shaded reading corner, a bocce court on the side yard, a dinner-for-eight patio near the kitchen. Every square foot earns a reason to walk out there.
Lush, responsibly.
Water-conscious doesn't mean sparse. Canopy trees, understory shrubs, and living groundcovers so your yard reads full — with a fraction of the water.
Smart tech where it matters.
Smart controllers, weather-adjusted schedules, drip conversions where they earn their keep. A reliable valve doesn't need Wi-Fi.
Same number, every year.
Owner on every install. Same phone number in year five when a valve fails.
We install what thrives here — mesquite, palo verde, ironwood, agave, tall grasses — species that hold their form through summer.
Turf, done right.
We install turf with water-efficient heads and drought-tolerant blends — Kurapia and Tahoma are two of our favorites when the client wants soft ground without the water bill. Last year alone we installed 300,000–450,000 sq ft of turf in cemeteries across the country. Turf's not the enemy — turf without a plan is.
Shade you plan for.
We bring shade to the living spaces you actually use — through trees where they fit, pergolas where they don't, shade sails for quick coverage, ramadas for permanent rooms. Summer is only tolerable in the shade you plan for.
Fair, transparent pricing.
We publish typical ranges so you know before you call. These are averages. When conditions differ from what we scoped, we communicate before adjusting.

Phoenix lawn watering schedules.
Real run times for rotors, R-VAN nozzles, and spray heads — season by season. Straight answers about caliche, cycle-and-soak, and why daily watering kills lawns.
The neighbors talk.
Jon completely revamped my sprinklers and fixed my irrigation system in about 2 hours — VERY IMPRESSIVE. Linda at the office is super friendly and gets my work taken care of. I use Sunshine Irrigation and Light every time.
Sunshine Irrigation has always been very responsive, reliable, and fairly priced. I can't recommend them high enough. Had them install my system and have always gone back to them when maintenance was needed.
Three years ago Sunshine Irrigation & Light built a pond with a waterfall and a spire in our backyard. It's beautiful — our favorite part of the yard. The install was so well done that there haven't been any problems, even with my three dogs. They also installed twelve landscape lights — the placement was professional, thoughtful, and improved our landscaping immensely. I will continue to recommend them for landscape design, irrigation, lighting, and any other landscaping needs.
Jon installed a new irrigation system on my property several years ago and I have been very pleased. When I needed a new controller, he recommended one that's app-compatible — now I can regulate watering from my smart phone. Jon is always available to help with irrigation problems. He is a true professional: polite, extremely knowledgeable, respectful, friendly, completing projects in a timely manner, and reasonable in pricing.
Amazing! Helped me so much better than anyone else who said I needed a valve replacement when I didn't. I will definitely use him in the future!
I have referred Sunshine Irrigation to my mom, brother and in-laws. Each has been extremely happy with their work. They can even design a habitat for a desert tortoise in your backyard if needed.

Real answers to what Phoenix homeowners ask.
Most leaking sprinkler heads in Phoenix come down to a cracked riser, worn internal seals from hard-water mineral buildup, a torn wiper seal on pop-up heads, or a broken lateral line downstream. Phoenix's hard water and 115°F summer heat degrade plastic seals faster than in cooler climates, so heads typically need replacement every 5–8 years. A replacement head runs $15–30 installed; a seal service is usually covered by an $90 flat service call.
Phoenix home lighting installs run $1,600–$3,600. An 8-fixture home package runs $1,600–$2,400. A 16-fixture full package covering front yard, entry, specimen trees, and architectural uplighting runs $2,800–$3,600. A night consult (design walk after dusk) is $130. Individual fixture pricing typically falls under a service call — most jobs are bulb replacement. LED fixtures use 80% less power than the halogens they replace and last 15+ years in Phoenix conditions.
The best xeriscape designs for Phoenix layer three heights: canopy shade trees (mesquite, palo verde, ironwood, desert willow) that cut afternoon heat 15–20°F, understory shrubs and structural plants (agave, Texas sage, red bird of paradise), and living groundcovers or tall grasses instead of rock-only ground plane. That reads full and lush while using 40–60% less water than turf. Native and desert-adapted species handle Phoenix's 110°F+ summers without supplemental irrigation once established at 18–24 months.
