At Prestige Outdoor Services, we understand that a beautifully maintained yard starts with the right foundation—and that includes a properly installed irrigation system. Our clients across Calgary and surrounding areas trust us to keep their lawns healthy and green while preserving the aesthetic and structural integrity of their properties. One of the ways we do that is by using top-of-the-line, minimally invasive equipment for our irrigation installations.
Our suite of industry-leading tools allows us to lay underground pipe with precision and care, avoiding the mess and disruption often associated with traditional trenching methods. Here’s a closer look at the equipment we use and how it works to protect your landscape while getting the job done right.
1. Ditch Witch 100SX: Compact and Yard-Friendly
The Ditch Witch 100SX is a compact vibratory plow designed for residential and light commercial irrigation installations. Its small size allows it to manoeuvre through tight spaces without disturbing surrounding landscaping or hardscapes. The 100SX pulls pipe underground using a vibratory motion, reducing surface disruption and leaving minimal trace of the work done.
2. Ditch Witch 255SX: Power Meets Precision
When we need a bit more power for longer pipe runs or more challenging soil conditions, the Ditch Witch 255SX is our go-to. With greater horsepower than the 100SX, the 255SX still offers a compact footprint and vibratory plow functionality. It can handle larger pipe sizes or denser soil without compromising your yard’s appearance. The dimensions of the machine are specifically designed to fit through standard gates. No more tearing up the back yard by shovel, use the power of trenchless technology for fast sod regrowth.
3. Ditch Witch 410SX: Built for Efficiency on Larger Jobs
The 410SX takes things up a notch in both productivity and ease of use. It features an innovative articulating frame that improves manoeuvrability around trees, flowerbeds, or fencing. The machine has the ability to vibratory plow in pipe and wire or chain trench for larger pipes and deeper installation depths.
4. Ditch Witch Zahn Plow: Versatile and Low-Impact
The Zahn Plow is a versatile unit that combines power and precision in a compact, lightweight frame. Perfect for both residential and commercial irrigation projects, it can be equipped with various attachments and allows for rapid, low-profile pipe installation. Like the rest of our equipment, it works through vibratory plowing rather than traditional trenching.
Why Vibratory Plowing Is the Better Choice
At Prestige Outdoor Services, we specialize in vibratory plowing, a trenchless method of pipe installation that dramatically reduces surface damage. Compared to conventional trenching, vibratory plowing:
- Leaves less visible scarring on your lawn
- Prevents excessive soil displacement
- Speeds up both installation and recovery time
- Reduces labour costs and site cleanup
While our equipment is designed to be as non-invasive as possible, we also include overseeding as part of our irrigation installation process. This helps to quickly repair any minor scarring that may occur and encourages a thick, healthy lawn to grow over the affected areas.
