Inner city Calgary neighbourhoods — Kensington, Hillhurst, Inglewood, Mission, Altadore, Marda Loop, Ramsay, and Mount Royal — present unique irrigation challenges. Older lots, heritage landscaping, narrow frontages, established trees with surface roots, and lane access only all require a different approach than the standard suburban install. J.G. Irrigation serves all inner city Calgary communities.
Inner City Calgary Irrigation — Key Differences
| Challenge | J.G. Irrigation Approach |
|---|---|
| Established tree roots (elm, ash, spruce) | Directional boring under roots; drip emitters for tree watering zones |
| Narrow front yards (25-33 ft frontage) | MP Rotators and drip strip for narrow turf strips; minimal head count |
| Rear-lane access only (back alley) | Controller and valve manifold installed in rear mechanical room or garage |
| Infill homes (new build on old lot) | Coordinate with builder for rough-in before concrete; full design from scratch |
| Heritage landscaping preservation | Non-invasive trenching routes, vibrating plow where possible |
