Sprinkler Zone Mapping Basics

A sprinkler system layout starts with grouping areas that have similar watering needs. For example, turf, shrubs, flower beds, and shaded areas should usually be separated so each zone can be adjusted for the right amount of water.

What to Mark on the Plan

  • Property boundaries and hardscape edges
  • Planting areas, lawn sections, and tree locations
  • Water source, backflow device, and controller location
  • Sprinkler head types and their spray patterns
  • Valve locations and zone numbers

Why Accurate Mapping Matters

Clear zone mapping helps reduce overspray, avoid dry spots, and make adjustments easier later. It also supports better water use and cleaner coverage across the yard.
