About Drought Free - Drought Free Irrigation (DFI) is a family owned irrigation company serving north- eastern MA and southern NH. We have more than 15 years of experience, designing, installing and servicing lawn sprinkler and irrigation systems. Our goal is to stay small and focus on customer service.

Since more than 90 percent of our new installations are referrals, our main focus is on residential properties. However, we are happy to service commercial customers as well as athletic fields.

Services - DFI will custom design an irrigation system to meet your property's specific landscape needs. We will take into consideration, water pressure and gallons per minute, as well as plants and planting material.
  • DFI will install your system in a timely manner with little damage to your lawn and a time frame that will fit with your current or planned landscaping.


  • DFI will personally service all components of your sprinkler system.


  • Service contracts are also available for residential and commercial customers.


  • We will winterize your sprinkler system by blowing all of the water out of the entire system. (You will receive a complimentary winterization the first season if we install a system for you.)


  • We will be glad to give you a free estimate.


  • We offer upgrades or will add onto an existing system.


  • We are experienced in all types of irrigation, including, lawn, garden and drip irrigation.


  • We offer a full two year parts and labor warranty.


  • We will use a licensed plumber to tie your system into your residential water system.


  • We will install a backflow preventer to your system as required by the health department.



Products - We are proud to install top quality products such as the Hunter PGP rotary head, the number one selling residential rotary head in the world. The Hunter Pro-C timer is very reliable and simple to operate. A Hunter Mini Click Rain Sensor is included with the installation of all of our systems to conserve water and help prevent over watering during rainy times. Drought Free Irrigation offers several other lines of irrigation supplies such as Rainbird and Irritrol to name a few.




Why should you install an irrigation system?
  • Save water. No more forgetting you left the hose on.
  • Save money. No more over watering. Water just the landscape components needed.
  • Save time. No more dragging hoses around the yard only to have your lawn burn when you go on vacation. Irrigation is automatic.
The Installation process:  After you have received your free estimate, and have decided to use us as your installation company, we will require a 15% deposit. We will try to schedule our plumber to tie into your plumbing on the same day that we will install the rest of your system. Depending upon your current landscaping, the average residential installation takes 1 day. We will install all of the pipe underground with a Ditch Witch Pipe Puller. All of your zone valves will be buried neatly in a few (depending upon how big your system is) valve boxes in one area.

The sprinkler heads will be installed and adjusted, and your timer will be set to water in the early morning hours to get the most out of your water pressure and avoid water evaporation. You will need to decide where you would like your automatic timer hung. The garage or the cellar are the most common areas for the timer, but keep in mind, it will need to plug into an electrical outlet. If your house has town water and sewer, you should check with the water department to see if they allow second meters. A second meter will prevent you from being charged sewerage charges for water going on your lawn.
