Your neighbors since 1986
A local specialist, not a landscaper who also does sprinklers.
Billerica is home, and our shop is right here in town. So the real payoff of hiring local shows up after the install: when a mower clips a head in July or a controller won't restart after a summer storm, we're a few minutes away, not a trip across the state.

Irrigation built for Billerica lawns
Designed to your property, from the Center to Nutting Lake.
Billerica runs from the older streets around the Center and East Billerica to the newer subdivisions in North Billerica and out toward Pinehurst and Nutting Lake, with the Concord and Shawsheen Rivers shaping the low, damp ground between. No two lots water the same way, so we design each system to the property.
- Rotary heads for open lawn, spray for tight turf, drip in the beds
- Backflow prevention and a rain sensor on every system, as MA requires
- Zones laid out by sun, shade and plant type
Landscape lighting, designed at dusk
Lit for your house and your street, not from a catalog.
Lighting is a design job, not a box of fixtures. We lay out the plan on-site at dusk, on your home, because that is the only time you can see what flatters the architecture and lights the path to the door safely. We install low-voltage LED sized so you can add to it later without starting over.
- On-site design at dusk on your actual home
- Low-voltage LED as a Kichler Gold Contractor and FX Luminaire dealer
- Built to expand later without a rebuild
Billerica questions
Irrigation & lighting in Billerica: common questions.
Does an irrigation system in Billerica need a backflow preventer and rain sensor?
Yes. Massachusetts requires backflow prevention on any system tied into municipal water, and a rain sensor so the system does not run in the rain. Every system we install in Billerica includes both, and we handle the annual backflow test on the systems we installed.
When should a Billerica system be winterized?
Before the first hard freeze, usually late October into November. Water left in the lines freezes, expands and cracks pipes and heads, so we blow the system out with compressed air each fall for the systems we maintain.
Do you repair a system another company installed?
No. We start up, service, repair and winterize only the systems P.J. Pappas installed, so we can stand behind the whole system rather than inherit someone else's guesswork. If you want one company to call about your system for its whole life, that is us.
You are based in Billerica, so how fast can you get here?
Our shop is in town, so most of Billerica is a short drive. Being local is the main reason we can turn around start-ups, service visits and storm-day problems quickly.
Are there watering restrictions in Billerica?
Many Massachusetts towns limit outdoor watering to certain days or hours in summer. A properly zoned system with a smart controller waters efficiently within those rules, and we set the schedule so you stay compliant without babysitting it.
