Mound, MN · Hennepin County
Sunshine Sprinkler Systems is a local irrigation company serving Mound, 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. Mound is a Lake Minnetonka-area community with a mix of established residential neighborhoods, lake-adjacent properties, and a walkable downtown along Shoreline Drive. This is a repair and retrofit market as much as a new-install market — and we handle both.
Service 01
Mound sits on the western end of Lake Minnetonka in western Hennepin County. The city's terrain reflects its lake-corridor geography — rolling grades, lakeshore lots with gentle slopes toward the water, and a mix of flat inland neighborhoods and more variable waterfront parcels. Elevation changes across a property affect irrigation pressure from zone to zone. We design every system around the actual grade at the site, not an assumption that the yard is flat.
For lakefront and near-lake properties, we pay close attention to spray patterns near the shoreline. The Lake Minnetonka Conservation District oversees lake quality throughout the watershed, and irrigation design that keeps spray on turf and landscaping — rather than contributing to runoff toward the lake — is both good environmental practice and consistent with the water quality standards the district maintains. We design for efficiency, not just coverage.
Mound's housing stock spans the mid-20th century through the present, with a meaningful share of older homes that either have aging irrigation systems or have never had one installed. For older properties with dated equipment, we assess what can be upgraded in place and what warrants a fresh installation. Jon has been laying out irrigation systems for 40 years and handles every design personally. 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 is included in the price.
Additional Services
Broken heads, stuck valves, and leaks that show up on the water bill before you spot them in the yard — we handle all of it. Our service technicians carry Hunter, Toro, and Rain Bird parts on every truck and handle most repairs in a single visit. Mound's older housing stock means many repair calls involve equipment that has been in service for 20 to 30 years. We diagnose accurately and advise honestly — some aging systems are worth a targeted repair; others have reached the point where a full replacement is the better investment.
We turn the water on, fire up every zone, inspect the heads, check for leaks, and make any needed adjustments. The startup price covers the seasonal check. Any repairs found while we are on-site go on a separate work order — nothing buried in the startup fee. Spring startup is also the right time to confirm your controller is programmed in compliance with Mound's current watering schedule. We factor the rules into programming at every visit so your system runs without you managing it manually.
Every irrigation system in Minnesota needs to be blown out before the ground freezes. Water left in the lines expands, cracks pipes, and damages heads and valves over winter. We schedule fall blowouts in Mound each season — call early, the fall schedule fills fast.
Commercial Irrigation
Mound's commercial district along Shoreline Drive has retail, restaurants, and service businesses anchored by the downtown core. The Westonka School District facilities and city parks round out the commercial targets in the area. We provide commercial irrigation service for business properties, municipal facilities, and commercial landscaping accounts in Mound.
We handle installation, repair, spring startup, and winterization for commercial accounts. If you manage a property with multiple irrigation meters or a common-area system, we can coordinate service across all zones and keep your programming current with the city's watering schedule.
Request Commercial ServiceWhy Sunshine Sprinkler Systems
We have been installing and servicing irrigation systems in the Twin Cities metro since the mid-1980s. Lake Minnetonka-area communities like Mound have been part of our service area from the start.
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.
Mound operates its own municipal water utility. For current watering restriction schedules — including any seasonal odd-even requirements or time-of-day windows — contact the City of Mound public works department directly. Rules can change from season to season, and spring startup is the right time to confirm your controller is programmed accordingly.
We factor the current schedule into controller programming at every installation and startup service call, so your system runs in compliance without you managing it manually. Minnesota state law also requires all new irrigation systems to include a rain sensor — we install every new system in compliance with current state requirements.
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.
