Sprinkler installation in Hartland, MIBuilt for the yard and the water you have.
A new system in Hartland starts with two questions: how big is the yard, and where does the water come from. Misty's Irrigation lays heads out so the spray meets, sizes each zone to the well, lake pump or meter, and trenches the lines in with our own stand-on trencher.

New systems in Hartland
Three kinds of lot, three kinds of system.
Hartland Township's plans describe small lake lots, subdivisions on half acre to one acre lots, and estate land at two acres and up that covers nearly half the township. Add a water supply that might be a private well, a lake or the township system, and no two layouts come out the same.
Lake lots: tight, shaded, close to water
Around Round, Handy and Maxfield Lakes, the township plans for lots of 8,000 to 20,000 square feet, matching what is already built. Its older plan describes mature trees and homes facing the lake. That means short zones, spray heads in the tight spots, care around old roots, and the option of a lake pump.
Rebuilt cottages need a fresh start
The township's plan notes that many older lake cottages have been expanded or torn down for bigger homes. Construction crushes whatever was buried in the yard. After a rebuild, a new layout around the new footprint usually beats patching an old system back together.
Acreage: rotors and long runs
On two acres and up along the county roads, rotors cover the big open lawn, and the layout is split into zones the water supply can carry. Long mainlines get trenched in below the mower, and pipe sized for the distance keeps pressure up at the far zones.
Sized to the water source
Most Hartland homes are on a private well, and a well only gives so many gallons a minute. We check what yours delivers and build zones to match, so the house still has water while the lawn runs. On a well, ask about adding Rid-O-Rust when the system goes in.
What you get
A new system, from plan to first run.
Every install follows the same order, so the system matches the water you have and is set up to water the whole yard evenly.
- Water measured
Pressure and flow checked at the supply, city or well, before anything is laid out.
- Head to head layout
Every head placed to reach the next, with part circles along the edges.
- Zoned by sun and plants
Sunny lawn, shade and beds on separate zones, sprays and rotors never mixed.
- Backflow device
A pressure vacuum breaker at least 12 inches above the highest head.
- Narrow trench
Pipe 6 to 12 inches down in a narrow trench, and valves boxed at grade.
- Controller set
A program for each zone, every head aimed, and a walkthrough before we leave.
Try it
Head to head, or it shows.
A system laid out so every head throws to the next one waters evenly. Switch to "before" to see what a short throw or a missing head does.
- Knocked sideways. Watering the driveway, not the lawn.
- Clogged nozzle. Falls short, so the middle goes brown.
- Sunk head. The turf grew over it and blocks the spray.
- Broken head. No spray, just a puddle and a water bill.
In Hartland
From walk-through to first watering.
It starts with a walk of the yard: where the lawn and beds are, where the water comes from, where the controller can go, and what is already buried. Before any digging, buried utilities get marked.
On township water, check one thing first. The township's billing page says homes on municipal water and sewer may buy separate irrigation meters at Township Hall to keep lawn water apart from household water. Then the lines go in with our trencher, heads are set level with the turf, and every zone is run and aimed before we call it done.

Misty’s did some repair work at a fair price. Staff was very pleasant, on time and cleaned up well in addition to excellent communication. Will use them in the future for any sprinkler system needs without it a doubt!
Misty’s Irrigation came out to repair and inspect our lawn irrigation system and did a great job. Very knowledgeable, professional, and just great people to work with. It’s always nice being able to support a local Fenton business, especially when they provide this kind of service. Highly recommend!
Questions
What people ask about a new system in Hartland.
If yours is not here, call or text (810) 423-9513.
Do you install new sprinkler systems in Hartland?
Yes. Misty's Irrigation puts in new systems and adds zones to existing ones across Hartland Township, from lake lots to acreage. We own a compact stand-on trencher, which cuts a narrow slot for the pipe instead of tearing up the whole lawn.
Will my well keep up with a sprinkler system?
It can, if the zones are sized to it. A well delivers a set number of gallons a minute. Put more heads on a zone than that and the far heads sputter, or the pump never shuts off. We check what the well gives and design the zones around it. A well that is weak to begin with is a question for a well contractor first.
I am on township water. Should I get a separate irrigation meter?
Ask the township. Its water billing page says homes on municipal water and sewer may buy separate irrigation meters at Township Hall to keep lawn water apart from household use, and that it can mean a large savings. If you plan to get one, tell us before we lay out the system so the sprinkler line starts in the right place.
My well stains the house orange. Should the new sprinklers still use it?
They can, with treatment. A Rid-O-Rust system put in alongside the new sprinklers treats the water before it reaches the heads. On a lake lot, pulling from the lake with a lake pump is the other way to keep the well's iron off the house.
Can the system water flower beds and pots too?
Yes. Beds and pots do better on drip irrigation, on their own zone, watering at the roots from the same controller as the lawn. It keeps spray off the leaves and off the siding.
