Our Irrigation Solutions

Sub-Surface PVC irrigation

Ideal for most residential and commercial landscapes, this conventional irrigation system provides automated sprinkler coverage to lawns, garden beds, and ornamental plantings.

Properly designed irrigation keeps turf green and flowerbeds lush — reducing manual watering and helping plants thrive, even in peak heat.


This system uses:


  • Shedule 40 PVC
  • pop up rain bird sprinklers
  • rain bird controllers and solenoid valves
  • long range pop up rotors for large lawn areas


Excellent for:


  • Larger residential or Commercial properties
  • Parks, sports fields, and larger turf areas
  • Front & backyard lawns
  • Landscape plantings
  • Garden beds and borders

Also known as drip irrigation, this option delivers slow, steady water right at the base of plants. Because it minimizes runoff, evaporation, and over-watering, micro irrigation is ideal for smaller garden beds, shrubs, ornamentals, vegetable plots, and sensitive plantings where precision and low cost is key. Micro systems are typically more affordable than full sprinkler networks and are designed for minimal water usage with maximum benefit.


This system uses:


  • hose bib timers
  • 1/2" poly tubing
  • stake sprinklers (non-pop up)
  • drip emitters


Benefits include:


  • Exceptional water efficiency
  • Lower overall cost compared to large-scale sprinkler systems
  • DIY repairs

How much does irrigation installation cost in New Orleans?


Southern City Farm offers irrigation installation in the New Orleans area with project budgets ranging from **$450 to $4,500**, with larger or more complex systems exceeding $4,500. Pricing depends on the area being watered, the number of irrigation zones, water supply access, and the equipment required.


A limited installation serving a small garden has a different scope than a system covering multiple beds and lawn areas. Trenching conditions, controller selection, and connections to existing irrigation also affect pricing.
