Champlin, MN · Hennepin County
Sunshine Sprinkler Systems is a local irrigation company serving Champlin, MN with sprinkler installation, repair, spring startups, winterization, and commercial irrigation service. We have been doing this work in the Twin Cities metro for 40 years. Champlin is a highly owner-occupied residential city along the Mississippi River, with a housing stock from the 1980s and 1990s that is old enough to have aging irrigation systems and established enough to have homeowners who care about their properties. If your system has been in the ground for a while and has never been serviced, or if you are putting in your first system, we are the right call.
Service 01
When we install an irrigation system in Champlin, the owner lays out every job personally. Jon has been designing irrigation systems for 40 years, and that experience shows up in the design. We zone by arc pattern, quarter circles and full circles never share a zone, and we nozzle every head to match precipitation rates across each zone. Most irrigation contractors skip both of these steps. We do not. The result is a system that waters evenly and runs efficiently from the first season.
Champlin's blackout window runs from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. That is a nine-hour midday restriction on your assigned watering day. We program every new system around your address's watering schedule from the start. On a standard residential property, there is enough time before 10 a.m. or after 7 p.m. on your watering day to run a full cycle, but only if the system is laid out and programmed to do it efficiently.
Every estimate is done on-site in under an hour. We check your water pressure, inspect your plumbing, measure the yard, and hand you a written quote before we leave. All plumbing work is included. We offer Good, Better, and Best installation packages, with the Better and Best tiers including a Hydrawise smart controller that connects to local weather data and adjusts run times automatically.
Additional Services
Mid-season problems happen: broken heads, stuck valves, leaks you do not notice until your water bill arrives. Our service technicians carry Hunter, Toro, and Rain Bird parts on every truck, so most repairs get handled in a single visit. We service all makes and models, including systems we did not install.
We offer spring startup service throughout Champlin each season. We turn the water on, fire up every zone, inspect the heads, check for leaks, and make any needed adjustments. If we find something that needs repair while we are there, we open a separate work order at an hourly rate. Champlin's watering restrictions run May 1 through Labor Day, with odd/even day assignments and a 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. blackout. Spring startup is the right time to confirm your controller is programmed correctly and ready for the season.
Before the ground freezes, every irrigation system in Minnesota needs to be blown out. Water left in the lines will expand, crack pipes, and damage heads and valves over winter. We schedule fall blowouts throughout Champlin each season. Call early as our fall schedule fills fast.
Commercial Irrigation
Champlin is primarily a residential city, but it has commercial and institutional properties with real irrigation needs. The Life Time Fitness facility, Anoka-Hennepin School District buildings with athletic fields, the Mississippi Crossings development along the riverfront, and commercial properties along US-169 are all part of the market.
We provide commercial irrigation service for business properties, school facilities, HOA common areas, and commercial landscaping accounts throughout Champlin.
Request Commercial ServiceWhy Sunshine Sprinkler Systems
We have been installing and servicing irrigation systems in the Twin Cities metro since the mid-1980s. Champlin has been part of our service area throughout.
Jon personally designs every new installation. You are not getting a two-year foreman with a tape measure. The person who built your system is the same person who designed it.
Jon, his son Sam, and Jolene run this business. When you call, Jolene picks up. When we come to measure, it is Jon. When install day comes, it is Jon and Sam.
More Google reviews than our local competitors, and we earn them one job at a time. No franchise standards. No shortcuts. Every system is one we stand behind.
Champlin's watering restrictions run May 1 through Labor Day. Odd-numbered addresses water on odd-numbered days of the month; even-numbered addresses water on even days. No irrigation is allowed between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., one of the wider midday blackout windows in the metro. During drought years the city has asked residents to voluntarily maintain the same schedule past Labor Day.
The first violation results in a written warning. Second and subsequent violations carry a $75 per day excess usage fee. New sod and seed get a four-week exemption from restrictions. Call 763-421-0154 to set it up before you lay the sod. Hand watering is permitted at any time.
Call Jolene and she will get Jon scheduled for a free on-site estimate. We come out, check your water pressure, measure the yard, and give you a written quote before we leave.
