Irrigation & Landscaping in Orono, MN

Orono owns more Lake Minnetonka shoreline than any other city — Crystal Bay, North Arm, Stubbs Bay, and Casco Point all fall inside its borders — and its properties run from lakeside compounds to inland hobby farms. Irrigation supply here is genuinely three-way: municipal water delivered through three separate city zones (the north system, Navarre, and the eastern area served through Wayzata), private wells on many estates, and the lake itself for shoreline properties.

We design for all three. Municipal customers get controllers programmed to the city's posted schedule — before 10am or after 6pm, odd/even — and Orono explicitly urges rain and moisture sensors, which we treat as standard equipment, not upgrades. Well-fed estates need hydraulic design matched to pump capacity rather than street pressure. And with this much shoreline, Orono is the heart of our lake-pump irrigation work, engineered around shoreland zoning and DNR appropriation rules.

Large Orono properties rarely have one soil type: bay-edge sand transitions to rolling pasture loam within a single parcel. We zone by soil and exposure, not just by geography, so the orchard rows, sport court surrounds, and shoreline buffers each get what they actually need.
