After over a decade in the home care industry, sisters Nicole and Cindy Watson noticed a troubling pattern: large agencies were growing, but the quality of care was declining. Families were being treated likeasdasdasd case numbers, and caregivers rotated so frequently that trust became impossible. Determined to change that, they founded Love From The Heart—a fully independent, Ontario-based agency where every decision is made with compassion, dignity, and accountability in mind. Today, their hands-on leadership ensures that each care plan honors the client’s autonomy, well-being, and desire to age in place with grace.

Irrigation Services in Kitsap County, WA
Complete Outdoor Watering Systems, Designed for Your Property
A well-designed irrigation system does more than water grass. It protects your investment in landscaping, conserves water by delivering it precisely where plants need it, and saves you the time and guesswork of manual watering. Alpine designs each in-ground system around your property's specific layout, soil conditions, and plant requirements. We use Rain Bird components throughout, integrating outdoor lawn hydrants where needed to give you full coverage across every zone. Whether you are starting with raw ground or upgrading an existing setup, our team builds systems that perform reliably through the wet Pacific Northwest winters and the drier summer months alike.
Landscape Irrigation Design
Precision Planning Before a Single Pipe Goes in the Ground
Effective landscape irrigation design starts with understanding the microclimate of your property. Alpine's team analyzes sun exposure, soil composition, and plant water requirements before laying out any system. This approach prevents overwatering in shaded beds, under-watering on sun-exposed slopes, and the uneven coverage that leads to dry patches and plant loss. Every zone is mapped to match the biological needs of what it serves, so your lawn, flowerbeds, ornamental plantings, and native species each receive the right amount of water at the right time. The result is a sprinkler system installation that functions as a long-term asset rather than a recurring maintenance problem.
Seasonal Care and Irrigation Maintenance
Seasonal Care and Irrigation Maintenance
Startups, Winterization, and Irrigation Maintenance and Repair
Irrigation maintenance and repair are just as important as the initial installation. Alpine provides seasonal startup services each spring to bring your system back online correctly after the winter, checking heads, testing zones, and confirming pressure throughout. When temperatures drop, our winterization blow-outs clear lines of standing water to prevent freeze damage to pipes and components. If your system develops a leak, loses pressure, or a zone stops responding, our team assesses the existing setup and advises on the best repair approach. We also handle system expansions when your landscaping grows or your property changes, so your outdoor watering system keeps pace with your needs year after year.

Irrigation Questions
Common Questions About Irrigation Systems in Kitsap County
What does an in-ground irrigation system installation include?
An in-ground irrigation system installation with Alpine covers the full process from landscape irrigation design through final testing. We map out zones based on your property's layout, soil, and plant types, then trench and install the supply lines, heads, and Rain Bird components that make up the system. Outdoor lawn hydrants are integrated where the layout calls for them. Once the system is in the ground, we test each zone for coverage and pressure before the job is considered complete. The finished installation is backed by a 1-year labor and workmanship warranty.Why should I schedule a winterization blow-out for my sprinkler system?
Water left sitting in irrigation lines during a freeze can expand and crack pipes, fittings, and heads, leading to costly repairs in the spring. A winterization blow-out uses compressed air to clear the lines completely before temperatures drop. In Western Washington, freeze events can arrive quickly, so scheduling this service before the first hard frost protects the full investment you made in your sprinkler system installation. Alpine handles winterization as a standalone seasonal service, and we can also schedule it as part of ongoing irrigation maintenance and repair care.What is included in a seasonal irrigation startup in the spring?
A spring startup brings your outdoor watering system back online after winter in a controlled way rather than simply turning the water on and hoping for the best. Alpine checks each zone, inspects heads for damage or misalignment, tests pressure throughout the system, and confirms that Rain Bird components are functioning correctly. Any issues found during the startup inspection are identified and addressed before the system runs through the season. This service helps catch small problems early before they become larger irrigation maintenance and repair jobs.Can Alpine repair an irrigation system that was installed by someone else?
Yes. Alpine handles repairs on existing systems regardless of who originally installed them. We assess the existing setup and advise on the best repair approach. Common repair needs include leaking lines, heads that are not rotating or retracting properly, zones that have lost pressure, and controller issues. If the system uses Rain Bird components, we work with those directly. For systems using other components, we evaluate what is in place and advise on the best path forward, whether that is a targeted repair or a partial upgrade.Does Alpine design irrigation systems for commercial properties as well as residential?
Alpine serves both residential homeowners and commercial clients in Kitsap County. The design process is the same regardless of property type: we analyze the site's layout, plant requirements, and water needs before specifying zones and components. Commercial properties often have larger coverage areas and more complex zoning requirements, and our background as a licensed General Contractor means we are equipped to manage the scope and coordination that larger sites require. Rain Bird components are used across both residential and commercial installations.What warranty covers irrigation system installation work?
All irrigation projects completed by Alpine are backed by a 1-year labor and workmanship warranty. This covers the installation work itself, meaning if something fails due to how the system was installed rather than external damage or misuse, it is addressed under warranty. Alpine is fully licensed, bonded, and insured as a General Contractor in Kitsap County, which provides an additional layer of accountability that standard landscaping crews cannot offer.How does Alpine account for different plant types when designing an irrigation system?
Plant selection and irrigation design are closely connected at Alpine. The team analyzes the microclimates on your property, looking at sun exposure, shade patterns, and soil conditions, then matches each irrigation zone to the water requirements of the plants it serves. Lawns, ornamental beds, native plantings, and fruit trees all have different needs, and a single-zone approach often leads to overwatering some areas while leaving others dry. By zoning the system around actual plant biology rather than just property boundaries, the design supports long-term plant health and reduces water waste.Does Alpine handle irrigation system expansions when a property is updated?
Yes. If you add new planting areas, install sod, or modify your landscape layout, Alpine can expand your existing irrigation system to cover the new zones. This is common after a landscaping installation or sod project, where new turf and plantings need consistent watering to establish properly. We assess the existing system's capacity and design the expansion to work within it, adding Rain Bird components and new lines as needed to give the updated areas the same reliable coverage as the rest of the property.
