Services
Irrigation Installation
Our comprehensive irrigation installations begin with landscape analysis and zoning to optimize water distribution. Using durable Hunter and Rainbird components, we design systems with smart controllers and sensors that adjust to weather conditions. Each installation includes personalized client training and a 5-year parts warranty.
Prepaid Maintenance
Three tailored maintenance packages ensure system longevity. The Premium package includes startup, mid-season checkup, and winterization services. All packages feature technician diagnostics, system adjustments, and priority scheduling to maintain peak performance throughout Manitoba's irrigation season.
Irrigation Repairs
We diagnose and fix all irrigation brands using real-time system data accessed via iPad technology. Technicians carry comprehensive parts inventories and leverage 40+ system details per client to resolve issues efficiently, often without homeowner presence during standard repairs.
Landscape Lighting
Certified FX Luminaire installations create functional, aesthetic nighttime environments. Our free demonstration kits allow clients to test WiFi-controlled, color-adjustable LED systems in their yards before purchasing, ensuring perfect customization.
Private Utility Locating
Using Ditch Witch Subsite 950R locators, we accurately identify and flag private electrical, gas, and utility lines. This service prevents damage during installations and ensures safe, code-compliant excavation for client properties.

Jeff and his team were great work with! Completed the work in timely fashion. They also came out to make some adjustments after the initial installation, once plants were put into place. I would recommend using their services. Thanks Jeff!

Ive dealt with this company for many years. I have always found them to be prompt and helpful. Over the years several different Sunshower crews have serviced my system and I found each to be courteous and accommodating. If you are thinking of installing a new system or having an existing one serviced, I can highly recommend Sunshower Sprinklers

Highly recommend! Doug & his crew did a great job with the installation. As well, he provided timely, comprehensive follow-up and fine tuning of the system, and explanation on using the app.
Mathieu provided excellent service following a request to correct a minor issue. He showed up very quickly after my call, on his day-off no less! He followed-up with a thorough review of the entire yard to ensure everything met our needs. Top notch! Thanks Jeff.

We had Sunshower Sprinkler install our front and back sprinkler system 4-weeks ago. We couldn't be happier with the product and especially to their whole staff that was involved. To Mark who came and quoted the job and brought along samples of the sprinkler heads and control box that would be installed, Paul who came and did the inside plumbing going to the outside and helping with the drip lines for the front flower beds, to the 2 sets of brothers; Kaleb, Avery, Mathew and Noah who did the installation. Everyone one was extremely helpful and courteous. We would Highly Recommend this Company!!
