Now, more than ever, a professionally-designed and maintained landscape adds significant value to your home or business. Irrigation is an essential part of maintaining that investment.

New technologies have made irrigation systems more affordable, easier to operate, and easier to maintain than ever before.
For these reasons and more, the irrigation industry has witnessed unprecedented growth over the past decade and will continue to expand and play a vital role in water management well into the future.
Landscape Ontario’s Irrigation Group is committed to promoting and adopting new technologies, minimizing water use, and educating the industry on these new practices and technologies through its Certified Irrigation Technician program.
The Certified Irrigation Technician program was developed by a leading group of industry professionals to prove a minimum standard of competency for people who design, install and maintain both residential and commercial irrigation systems by verifying their skills in the following areas:
- Irrigation Technology
