Built for Long-Term Outdoor Environments

Irrigation by Design has served the Twin Cities area since 1990 with irrigation installation, service, repair, retrofit, water management, and landscape stewardship. The company was built around a simple idea: outdoor spaces perform better when irrigation knowledge, landscape care, communication, and seasonal service work together.

IBD works with homeowner associations, townhome communities, condominium properties, commercial campuses, public and institutional landscapes, golf courses, and residential clients. Across those settings, the expectations are similar: thoughtful recommendations, clear communication, dependable field work, and systems that support the property over time.

Professional Standards

Our team emphasizes training, safety, water efficiency, controller knowledge, low-voltage awareness, and practical field judgment. That matters because irrigation and landscape systems are not static. Properties change, plantings mature, technology improves, and Minnesota weather demands seasonal attention.

How We Work

  • We evaluate the actual site before recommending a solution.
  • We look for practical improvements, not just short-term fixes.
  • We communicate with homeowners, managers, boards, and site contacts.
  • We connect irrigation service with the long-term health of the landscape.
  • We protect water resources by supporting efficient systems and smart scheduling.
