Irrigation controller services for Solano & Napa County homeowners
From a simple timer swap to a full smart-home irrigation upgrade, Eco Scapes Land Care handles controller replacement and programming for residential properties in Fairfield, Vacaville, and throughout the region.
Smart Wi-Fi Controller Installation
We install Rachio 3, Hunter Hydrawise, and Rain Bird ST8I smart controllers that connect to your home Wi-Fi, pull local weather data, and let you start, stop, or adjust zones from your smartphone anywhere you have signal.
Standard Timer Replacement
When your existing timer dies, locks up, or starts skipping zones, we swap it for a reliable current-model unit. We re-wire all zone connections, set the time and day, and program run times before we leave your Fairfield or Vacaville property.
Rain Sensor Installation
A rain sensor wired to your controller tells the system to skip a scheduled cycle when it has rained recently. We install Hunter Mini-Click or compatible sensors and wire them correctly — preventing overwatering and saving water across your Solano County landscape.
Seasonal Schedule Programming
We program your controller with zone-by-zone run times adjusted for Solano County’s seasonal climate — less water in cooler months, more in peak summer. Smart controllers get ET-based adjustments that reduce water waste automatically.
Zone Mapping & Labeling
We activate each zone, observe run-time coverage, and label all terminals on the new controller with zone descriptions — so any future service tech or homeowner can immediately identify which terminal controls which part of the yard.
Controller Wiring Repair
Corroded terminals, mis-wired zones, and shorted common wires all cause controller problems that look like hardware failure. Before recommending a full replacement, we test every wire terminal and repair connections that can be salvaged.
How we replace irrigation controllers in Solano County
System Diagnosis & Free Estimate
We test your current controller, check zone response, inspect the transformer and wiring, and confirm the failure point. You receive a recommendation and a clear quote before any replacement is ordered.
Controller Selection & Mounting
We match a replacement controller to your zone count and goals — basic timer or smart Wi-Fi unit. We mount it to the existing surface or bracket, confirm power supply, and label the mounting location clearly.
Wiring & Wi-Fi Setup
We connect all zone wires and the common wire to the new controller, test each terminal, and connect the unit to your home Wi-Fi network if it’s a smart model. We install the app and log in on your behalf during the visit.
Programming & Zone Test
We program seasonal run times for every zone, activate each one to confirm coverage, then walk you through the schedule and app controls before we leave — so you’re fully set up and comfortable from day one.
Why Fairfield & Vacaville homeowners trust us for controller work
We install smart controllers correctly
Many smart controller installs fail because zones aren’t mapped or Wi-Fi setup is incomplete. Eco Scapes Land Care completes the full setup — wiring, app configuration, zone labeling, and a programmed schedule — before we leave.
Solano County seasonal programming expertise
Run times that work in March don’t work in July in Fairfield’s summer heat. We program controllers with seasonal schedules built around local ET data and your specific plant material — not generic factory defaults.
Diagnose before we recommend replacement
A blank controller screen is sometimes a $12 transformer, not a $200 controller. We always test the power supply and wiring first — and only recommend a new unit when it’s genuinely the right call.

FAQ: Irrigation controller replacement in Fairfield & Vacaville
Answers to the questions homeowners most often ask before upgrading or replacing an irrigation controller with Eco Scapes Land Care.
A standard controller runs a fixed schedule regardless of weather.

Eco Scapes Land Care installs and programs both for homeowners in Fairfield, Vacaville, and Napa.
Controller replacement cost depends on the number of zones, controller brand, and whether new wiring is needed. Eco Scapes Land Care provides free estimates for homeowners throughout Fairfield, Vacaville, Vallejo, Napa, and surrounding Solano and Napa County communities.
