Sprinkler system installation costs between $1,800 and $5,200 on average. New in-ground sprinkler systems range in price from $500 to $1,000 per zone.
Permits and hiring a contractor instead of doing it yourself are two factors that influence the cost of sprinkler system installation.
Alternatively, if you are a do-it-yourselfer who is unfamiliar with electricity and plumbing, you will need to hire professionals to handle those two main phases of the installation, which will increase the overall cost of a sprinkler configuration.
