Irrigation System Installation and Services in Comstock Park & West Michigan
Efficient irrigation for lawns, estates and farms, built around your water supply.
Irrigation System Installation Built Around Your Well
Irrigation system installation from Wahlfield Drilling Co keeps the lawn, the garden or the field watered without emptying the aquifer, designed around the property and the well that has to feed it.
Water the yard off the house well and you find out fast whether it was sized for it. Family run since 1891, Wahlfield Drilling Co handles irrigation system installation out of our Comstock Park office on Westshire Drive, and we drill irrigation wells of all sizes, from a single lawn to a working farm. Searching irrigation well drilling near me from somewhere around Grand Rapids? Call 616-784-1214. Most calls get returned within 15 to 30 minutes.
We survey the site, calculate the demand, and build a system that puts water where it is needed and nowhere else.
What an Irrigation Well and System Involve
An irrigation system is only as good as the water behind it. That starts with the well, then the irrigation well pump, then the lines, heads and controller. Our work covers:
- Site assessment and demand calculation
- Lawn sprinkling system design and installation
- Agricultural and estate irrigation
- Smart controllers and drip irrigation
- Integration with new or existing wells
- Seasonal startup, shutdown and maintenance
Smart controllers and drip lines cut waste, and seasonal maintenance keeps the whole thing working year after year. On the pump side, our pump selection and installs page goes deeper.
When Lawns, Farms and Estates Need More Water
A lawn irrigation well so the house keeps its pressure
Running sprinklers off the drinking well can drop pressure inside the house and work the pump hard all summer. A separate lawn irrigation well keeps the two apart. If you would rather tie into the house system, our home well service sizes the pump and tank so both get enough.
An agricultural irrigation well for field crops
A farm irrigation well has to keep up every day through July and August. Over in Montcalm County, potato ground around Edmore sits under center pivots all summer, and a well that falls short there shows up in the crop. For barns, shops and the rest of the farm's water, see our commercial and farm wells.
Irrigation pump repair in the middle of a dry spell
A pump that quits in a heat wave cannot wait for next week. Same-day service is available for irrigation pump repair, and emergency calls are answered 24 hours a day. Our well repair crew handles the diagnosis.
Adding sprinklers to a property that already has a well
Plenty of owners want a well for sprinkler system use after the house is built. We look at what the existing well produces first. A yield test tells us whether it can carry the extra load or whether a second well makes more sense.
How We Size Irrigation to the Water Supply
We start with the ground you need to water and how often, then work back to the gallons per minute it takes. Sandy lakeshore lots drink faster than the heavier soil farther inland, and that changes the math.
From a backyard zone to a golf course irrigation pump, the sizing follows the same rule. The well has to keep up with the pump, and the pump has to keep up with the heads. Irrigation pump installation comes after that math, not before.
If an old irrigation well is coming out of service, we plug it properly so it does not sit open in the field.
What to Expect From Site Visit to First Watering
Call or text 616-784-1214 and a quote follows within 24 hours.
On a new irrigation well we take it from the permit process through to the finished product: drill, case, set the pump, then run the system and check it before we leave. Seasonal startup and shutdown keep it ready for spring and protected through a Michigan winter, and routine maintenance catches small problems early.
Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 to 5. Our work comes with the best warranty, and we stand behind it. Read what other customers say on our customer reviews page.
Irrigation Pricing With a Free Quote Inside 24 Hours
Irrigation pricing depends on the depth of the well, the size of the pump and how much ground the system covers. A small lawn setup and a field system are different jobs, so we do not post a price list. Pricing on irrigation system installation is competitive, and the quote is free.
