Credentials & Certifications
- ✅ Irrigation Association (IA) Certified Irrigator — The Irrigation Association is the leading industry body for irrigation professionals in North America.

Experience & Expertise
Jaydon founded J.G. Irrigation with a focus on doing irrigation right — custom zone designs based on actual site assessment, proper head selection for Calgary’s clay soils and variable sun exposure, and systems built to last with commercial-grade components. He brings the same level of care to a 4-zone townhouse system as to a 14-zone estate property.
Areas of specialization include:
- Residential irrigation design & installation — Calgary’s varying lot sizes, soil conditions, and water pressure require custom designs. Jaydon assesses every property individually before designing.
- Smart controller integration — Hunter HC and Rain Bird ST8I-WIFI smart controllers, with weather-based scheduling to reduce water waste.
- Calgary-specific winterization — Commercial compressor blowouts with multi-pass technique, timed for Calgary’s October frost window.
- Low-voltage landscape lighting — LED pathway, uplighting, and architectural lighting for residential properties.
- Irrigation diagnostics & repair — Full system troubleshooting including zone failures, pressure issues, controller faults, and backflow preventer service.
Why Certification Matters for Your Irrigation System
Many irrigation contractors in Calgary operate without Irrigation Association certification — and it shows. An improperly designed system wastes water, creates dry spots, and fails prematurely. IA Certified irrigators are trained in hydraulics, precipitation rate matching, soil infiltration rates, and backflow prevention standards. This translates directly to a system that works correctly from the first season.

Why Jaydon Started J.G. Irrigation
After years working for larger landscaping companies, Jaydon saw a consistent gap: homeowners were getting irrigation systems installed by crews who did not understand the specific requirements of Calgary’s clay soil, pressure variation by neighbourhood, or the Chinook freeze-thaw cycles that destroy systems installed without local knowledge. He founded J.G. Irrigation to deliver a technical standard he could stand behind — and to be personally accountable for every system that goes in the ground.
J.G. Irrigation does not sell irrigation systems — it designs them. Every installation begins with a pressure assessment and CAD zone layout. Every controller is programmed to Calgary’s 3-day watering bylaw and cycle-and-soak timing before we leave the property.
Service Area
J.G. Irrigation serves Calgary (all quadrants) and surrounding communities including Airdrie, Chestermere, Cochrane, Okotoks, High River, Strathmore, and most Rocky View County and Foothills County locations within 45 minutes of the city.
