Your Guide to Irrigation Supplies in Canada

Best Places to Buy Irrigation Supplies in Canada

Welcome to Sprinkler Canada, your guide to buying all things Irrigation! Gardening enthusiasts around the world are increasingly drawn to the benefits of Irrigation for their home landscapes and vegetable gardens. The popularity of gardening, coupled with efficient irrigation systems, allows consumers and growers to nurture vibrant and flourishing gardens with greater ease. Irrigation can also be one of the most intimidating aspects of designing a garden or landscape plan, with an overwhelming number of decisions to make and parts to decide on. Sprinkler vs drip irrigation, sub-surface vs top side irrigation, automated vs manual are just a few of the many questions we've often been asked and the list just goes on from there. As avid gardeners we realized the first step to installing a great irrigation system is to find the right supplier! We will breakdown our reviews below.

Our goal is to provide you with the tools you need to set you on your way to installing your own irrigation system, and provide you with a complete list of suppliers in Canada with Pros and Cons of each one. The criteria we used to be on our list are as follows;

Suppliers must have an online presence with the ability for consumers to purchase products.
Suppliers must offer a wide enough product selection for complete system installations.
Suppliers must have a physical presence in Canada.

After combing through each supplier's website information and making purchases from several locations we have established the 10 best places to purchase Irrigation in Canada.

One of the better known retail brands in the Irrigation industry, Orbit offers a complete selection of Sprinkler supplies for both Drip and Lawn Irrigation through their online store. In addition to traditional Irrigation supplies, Orbit presents a well organized web store which also offers a vast array of hose end gardening tools. We liked the low threshold for free shipping, but the retail pricing is very high compared to other suppliers.

#4: Irrigation Depot

Quebec based Irrigation Depot offers both Lawn and Drip Irrigation solutions at very competitive pricing. Irrigation Depot offers one of the largest product lines we found online offering most major irrigation brands, but many products appeared to be sold out on their site. Our main point of concern for Irrigation Depot is their lack of any pick up option and there is no physical address posted on their site. Answering service only in French.

Pros

Cons

Offers both Lawn and Drip Irrigation Solution
Major brands sold and large product offering
Kits for DIY consumers

No pick up option for online store
No shipping to PO boxes
'Contact Us' information is very vague
Customer service mainly French dominated

As their name suggests, Discount Sprinkler Canada specializes in selling sprinkler systems, irrigation equipment, and related products at competitive prices.

#7: Home Depot

Cons

Drip and Lawn Irrigation offered
Several Locations across Canada
Easy no hassle returns

High pricing
Lack of Irrigation Knowledge

Overview

A trip to the Home Depot can provide you with everything you need to assemble and install an irrigation system. Home Depot supplies the tubing, fittings, and accessories required for a complete install but we have ranked them here due to pricing and a lack of service and knowledge in the industry. There is also a lack of brand variety for those looking for specific branded products. Home Depot is however a great place for those forgotten fittings.

Product pricing on the Wes-Tech site is much higher than other online competitors but this is likely due to their remote location. Free shipping is not available to consumers.
