Irrigation zone, symptom, service-scope and handoff workbook
Irrigation proposals are easier to compare when every provider receives the same non-sensitive zone and observation brief. This helpful preparation resource from PickYourPro.ai separates owner observations from provider findings, organizes controller and sensor references, asks whether inspection, repair, maintenance, audit or redesign is proposed, and requests testing and handoff records without diagnosing pressure, distribution or plant needs.

Preparation and proposal-scope comparison only, not irrigation design, hydraulic calculation, pressure diagnosis, utility locating, excavation, electrical, plumbing, backflow, potable-water, plant-health, pesticide, code, permit, watering-restriction, rebate, environmental, contract or legal advice. Qualified providers and applicable utilities and authorities must verify site conditions, system compatibility, permissions, safety and operating settings.

How to use this resource
Use neutral Property A and Zone A labels. Keep the address, access codes, account numbers, precise utility locations and private site plans outside this workbook. Map zones by visible area and intended landscape use, record leaks, overspray or uneven coverage only as observed, and ask each provider to define inspection coverage, repair-versus-redesign assumptions, controller and sensor work, authorization, testing and owner handoff.
Open the PDF in a form-capable viewer, save a copy, then fill it in. Reopen your saved copy to check your answers. You can also print the blank pages and write by hand. Your answers are not submitted to PickYourPro.ai.
DEFINE SERVICE SCOPE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Ask the provider to distinguish inspection, findings, proposed work, authorization, testing and handoff.
CHECK PROPOSAL READINESS
Tick what is organized. These checks do not diagnose a system, calculate pressure or water needs, select equipment or set a schedule.
QUESTIONS FOR THE IRRIGATION PROVIDER
Record the answer and where it appears in the proposal, findings, settings record or handoff.
COMPARE THE SAME PROPERTY A BRIEF
Use Provider A and B. Clarify unlike coverage, repair, redesign, testing or handoff assumptions before comparing proposals.

Irrigation & Sprinklers preparation checklist
- Give every provider the same non-sensitive Property A and zone brief.
- Keep addresses, codes, accounts, utility locations and private plans outside.
- Label zones by visible area and landscape use rather than hidden pipe assumptions.
- Record leaks, runoff, overspray or uneven coverage only as observed.
- List controller, sensor and available record references for private review.
- Ask whether inspection, repair, maintenance, audit or redesign is proposed.
- Separate component work, electrical, plumbing, backflow and excavation responsibilities.
- Request authorization rules, testing, settings record and owner handoff.
Questions for the irrigation provider
- What non-sensitive site information and private records are needed before defining the service scope?
- Which zones, valves, heads, lines, controller or sensors are included and excluded from inspection?
- How will observed symptoms, provider findings, testing and unresolved conditions be documented?
- Is the proposal for maintenance, repair, audit, partial redesign or another scope, and why?
- Which WaterSense-labeled product or certified-professional routes, if any, are relevant to discuss?
- What settings record, operating explanation, change history, completion check and handoff are provided?
Write down the answers and any exclusions. If two proposals describe different work, clarify the difference before comparing their totals. Leave unanswered points blank until the professional confirms them.

Ready to hear from pros?
Create an account on PickYourPro.ai only if you choose, then start an Irrigation & Sprinklers request. Share a non-sensitive Property A zone, observation and service-scope brief so participating pros can compete with proposals. Compare proposed inspection coverage, repair-versus-redesign assumptions, responsibilities, authorization, testing, handoff, exclusions and fit. A provider-led site and system assessment may be needed before a final proposal.
