Irrigreen, a producer of robotic irrigation systems, secured nearly $19 million in Series A financing. Backed by new and existing investors including Natural Ventures, Burnt Island Ventures, Ulu Ventures, MFV Partners, Tamiami and Sum Ventures, this round brings the company’s total funding to almost $34 million. This round will help Irrigreen further advance itself in precision irrigation technology and deliver advanced solutions aimed at convenience, efficiency and water savings for the 80-plus million residential lawns in the U.S., according to the company.
The funding will help Irrigreen bring increased intelligence to a category long overdue for disruption, according to the company. Water bills are up nearly 20 percent in recent years, and yet traditional sprinklers, which account for one-third of household water use, waste up to 50 percent through inefficient, outdated watering methods. With more than 8 patents in precision spray technology, Irrigreen is aiming at a new approach: robotic sprinkler heads, digitally mapped lawns, real-time weather analysis and water applied with accuracy only where and when it is needed. These new funds will fuel Irrigreen’s next phase of research and product development.
Irrigreen has also released an AI-powered quoting tool that leverages satellite imagery to detect lawn space and provides an instant configuration of sprinkler heads optimized for water use. Starting April 22, 2025, prospective customers can simply enter their address on Irrigreen’s website and receive an instant design of their custom sprinkler system and potential water bill savings.
“No more sidewalk spray, dead patches in the yard, harmful chemical runoff down the drain or dodging the sprinkler on the way to work,” said Shane Dyer, CEO of Irrigreen. “By following the unique contours of your yard, Irrigreen delivers a healthier, greener lawn with dramatically less water. We’re not just upgrading sprinklers — we’re redefining what outdoor smart tech can do. It’s the lawn you’ve dreamed about, without the waste or the worry.”
Irrigreen recently launched Smart Controller 3, its newest product and winner of the 2025 Green Good Design Sustainability Award. Smart Controller 3 delivers intuitive live-weather automation, deeper insights into water use and enhanced controls, integrations and notifications. Installing or upgrading an Irrigreen system is now easier as well, with more than 300 installation partners spanning almost every U.S. state. Looking ahead, Irrigreen stated it is focused on bolstering its suite of high-tech and eco-friendly solutions that ease the environmental and financial burden of inefficient irrigation.
“The world needs more innovative solutions like Irrigreen that address environmental challenges, lower costs and simplify daily life,” said Tom Ferguson, founder and managing partner at Burnt Island Ventures. “We’re thrilled to support them in this exciting growth stage as they modernize a critical aspect of water usage and waste. This is only the beginning of what promises to be a transformative journey in the future of irrigation.”
