Hanover, MN · Wright / Hennepin County
Sunshine Sprinkler Systems serves Hanover, MN with sprinkler installation, repair, spring startup, winterization, and commercial irrigation. Hanover straddles the Wright–Hennepin county line along the Crow River and has been one of the fastest-growing communities in the metro — up 28% in population since 2020. With 16 or more active builders and multiple active subdivisions, new residential installations are a major part of what we do in this market.
Service 01
Hanover's rapid growth means a large number of recently completed homes and subdivisions — Crow River Heights, Vistas at Crow River, Hanover Crossings, and others — whose owners are ready for irrigation systems now that the turf is established. We work with new construction timelines and can coordinate directly with builders on pre-plumb installations as well as post-construction installs on finished lots.
The Joint Powers Water Board (JPWB) serves Hanover with a calendar-based sprinkling schedule from June 1 through September 30. Unlike a simple odd/even system, JPWB assigns each property a specific calendar day of the week to water. Programming a smart controller correctly for this schedule requires knowing your assigned day — it is not a detail you can set and forget without verifying with the JPWB first. We ask about your schedule assignment at every estimate and help you program the controller correctly before we leave.
Hanover's municipal water source is groundwater, which in Wright County tends to carry moderate hardness. We account for local water chemistry in nozzle and component selection. Jon personally designs every installation and provides a written quote at the estimate — no surprises when the invoice arrives.
Additional Services
Broken heads, damaged lateral lines from landscaping, stuck valves, and controller issues are everyday repairs. Our trucks carry Hunter, Toro, and Rain Bird parts, and most repairs are completed in a single visit. We service all makes and models — including systems installed by other contractors in the many new subdivisions around Hanover.
We offer spring startup service throughout Hanover each season. We turn the water on, run every zone, inspect heads for winter damage, check pressure, and verify the controller is programmed correctly for your JPWB assigned watering day. Many homeowners do not realize their assigned day changed or that their smart controller was not correctly set — we catch that at startup.
Before freeze-up, every sprinkler system needs a compressed-air blowout to remove water from the lines. Water left in the pipes will expand, crack fittings, and damage heads and valves over winter. We schedule fall blowouts throughout Hanover each season. With so many new systems going in every year, our fall schedule fills up — call early to get on the list.
Commercial Irrigation
Hanover's growth is bringing more commercial development alongside the residential boom. Downtown Hanover along Highway 55 has retail and commercial properties, and Hanover City Hall and the Crow River recreational corridor are city-managed green spaces with irrigation needs. New apartment and multi-family projects are also in the pipeline as the city continues to grow.
We provide commercial irrigation installation and service for business properties, HOA common areas, multi-family developments, and institutional facilities throughout Hanover and the surrounding area. With 16+ active builders in the market, we are already working in this community on a regular basis.

We have been installing and servicing irrigation systems in the Twin Cities west metro since the mid-1980s. We know the area, the soils, and the municipal water systems — including the JPWB calendar schedule that governs Hanover.
Jon personally designs every new installation. You are not getting a salesperson who hands off to a crew — the person who measured your yard is the same person who designed your system and stands behind 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 on your property.
More Google reviews than our local competitors, earned one job at a time. No franchise. No shortcuts. Every system is one we stand behind.
Hanover is served by the Joint Powers Water Board (JPWB), which enforces a calendar-based sprinkling schedule from June 1 through September 30. Unlike a simple odd/even address system, JPWB assigns each property a specific day of the week to water. Your assigned day is set by your address, and it does not rotate — but it is not always the obvious choice. Check with JPWB directly if you are unsure which day applies to your property.
The schedule applies to outdoor water use including lawn irrigation. Watering on a non-assigned day is a violation. Smart irrigation controllers can be set to run only on your assigned day, which is one of the easiest ways to stay compliant automatically. We help every Hanover customer verify their assigned day and program their controller correctly before we leave the job. During a drought advisory, JPWB may issue additional restrictions on top of the regular calendar schedule.
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.
