The booked job mix general handymen see in this market
Irrigation work books as broken head and lateral repair, failed valve and solenoid replacement, controller swaps, and full zone troubleshooting. Most are short diagnostic-and-fix visits.
Drip conversion is the growth category. California water restrictions and rebate programs push homeowners off spray heads and onto drip, and that conversion work is well paid and repeatable across a whole neighborhood.
Smart controller installs bridge irrigation and smart home — weather-based controllers qualify for rebates in many districts, which makes them an easy sell and a fast install.
