Highlight Irrigation was founded by two Colorado homeowners who got tired of the same problem everyone else has — a sprinkler system that wastes water, breaks constantly, and still leaves dry spots in the lawn.
Co-founder Greg is a mechanical engineer with over 25 years of experience designing and evaluating technical systems. When he discovered the Irrigreen smart sprinkler system, he did what any engineer would do — he tested it on his own property first. His irregular lawn had required 40 traditional sprinkler heads to cover. The Irrigreen system replaced all of them with just three. Coverage was better, water use dropped dramatically, and the app-based control meant he never had to manually adjust a head again.
That experience led directly to co-founding Highlight Irrigation with his business partner Jared — with a simple mission: bring the most water-efficient smart sprinkler system available to homeowners and businesses across the Colorado Front Range.
Today, Highlight Irrigation is a certified Irrigreen Elite Pro installer — the highest tier in Irrigreen's national partner program — serving residential and commercial properties across Denver, Boulder, Aurora, Arvada, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Broomfield, Castle Rock, Englewood, Lakewood, and the surrounding Front Range communities. Every system we install is custom-designed for your specific property, installed by our trained crew, and backed by ongoing local support.
The HLI Story
Why Choose HLI for your Irrigation Needs?
Custom Design For Your Property
No two lawns are the same shape, and no two Irrigreen systems are identical. We use Irrigreen's digital lawn mapping technology to design a system custom-fitted to the exact contours of your yard — ensuring complete coverage without a single drop of water wasted on driveways, sidewalks, or fence lines.
Save Time & Effort
A traditional sprinkler system demands constant attention — adjusting heads, fixing broken valves, diagnosing dry spots. Irrigreen's smart heads and app-based control eliminate most of that maintenance entirely. Once your system is mapped and scheduled, it runs automatically, adjusts for weather, and alerts you if something needs attention.
Long-term Cost Savings
Irrigreen homeowners typically save $300 to $600 per year on water bills. With Denver Water's 2026 drought surcharges now in effect on top of already-rising rates, the savings in Colorado this year are likely to be even greater. Most systems pay for themselves within a few seasons through water savings alone.
Professional Installers Who Know the Tech
Irrigreen is a sophisticated system that requires proper design, placement, and configuration to perform at its best. Our crew is trained and certified directly by Irrigreen, so your system is installed correctly the first time. We don't just drop equipment in the ground — we map your lawn, calibrate every head, and make sure the app is fully configured before we leave.
Local Maintenance Support
We are a Front Range company serving Front Range homeowners. When you need a spring startup, fall winterization, a repair, or a system adjustment, you're calling a local team that knows your system and can get to you quickly — not a national call center.
We're friendly lawn owners who know your pain
We are homeowners ourselves. We've dealt with broken heads, brown spots, and water bills that made no sense. That's exactly why we started this company — because we found a better solution and wanted to make it available to everyone in Colorado who's dealing with the same frustrations.
