We are a Los Angeles-based company specializing in greywater design, installation and education. Formed in 2009 in response to growing concern about our state's limited water resources, we started with greywater and now install a range of systems for rainwater capture, water purification and water storage, as well as irrigation and other LID mitigation measures.
Hundreds of projects completed over 10+ years have made us a nationally recognized authority on the subject, informing our approach to building simple, low maintenance systems that rely on natural processes to make your home water-resilient and sustainable. Greywater and rainwater systems save water, save money, protect the environment, and provide water security for your garden and home in times of drought.

Services
Greywater systems take this lightly used water and reuse it for irrigation. They are ideally suited for trees and large shrubs, growing heat beating shade trees in record time and providing bountiful harvests and food security when paired with fruit trees. First, we modify your plumbing in order to separate greywater from blackwater.
Rainwater harvesting systems capture pure water from roofs or other impermeable surfaces to be stored for beneficial use at a later time. Rainwater is great for all sorts of plants, including drought-tolerant native plants and vegetable gardens that are not always well-suited for greywater irrigation.
We are looking for men and women to become part of our installation team, building residential greywater irrigation systems that save water, protect the environment, and grow beautiful and sustainable gardens. Responsibilities include all aspects of residential plumbing, irrigation and general construction, as well as digging/trenching, gardening, hauling mulch, and landscape work.
Each project is unique, so we start with a phone call or email exchange to learn about your particular needs and situation. The next step is to schedule a site visit to evaluate your home and landscaping, after which we develop a custom tailored design for your greywater or rainwater system. We are more than happy to talk about your options and find a system tailored to your needs.

We had to wait a little while for our installation because they are very busy -- a good sign! We could not be more pleased with the results. Not only does the system work extremely well, but our yard was left in great shape. Everyone who participated in the work was as nice as could be. Highest recommendation for this company.

In Los Angeles it feels unfathomable to not use greywater in order to help support plantings. We were thrilled to be able to partner with Leigh and the team to make this happen when we moved to a new house. I hope others take advantage of this opportunity and call them. They couldn't be nicer. We are very happy.

Friendly people that do incredible work. From initial quote to final walk through, working with GreyWater Corps has been a delight. Super punctual and transparent about every cost, and willing to explain every part of the process to me. The best part is that they're excited about what they're doing! During the walk through they were identifying plants in my yard and giving me ideas for natives that will do well with the system. You can tell this is as much a labor of love as it is a well run business. 3 days of digging trenches in my backyard, but by the end you wouldn't even know

This is one of the coolest things I've done to my house since I've owned it. I found Greywater Corps because I had an idea that our family was wasting SO MUCH water, and after trying to rig a system myself, realized I needed to call in the professionals.
Their work is top notch- clean, professionally looking, left no mess afterwards. They included instructions on using the laundry-to-landscape system in a way that even my kids can follow. Highly recommend.

Leigh and his team did a great job installing a greywater system for my backyard. I wanted something a bit complicated (to use my shower water to feed my plants, but at different rates around the yard, and all controlled by a switch in my bathroom). They provided detailed plans and worked on the project for well over a month and were quite diligent.
I am shocked by how few homes in So. Cal. have greywater systems, even as water rates climb every year and global warming worsens drought conditions. Do your part: Go Grey!

We recently (mid December) had them install a grey water system in our home. We have septic system that is original to our house that was constantly being overwhelmed. We had our Washer, Bathtubs and Bathroom sinks diverted out into our front yard. So now we can take a nice long shower and know that our 70+ year pine tree and other plants are soaking up that water. We're going to add a couple citrus trees to our yard now to take advantage of the water. We'll end up saving money because we're watering the trees while washing our clothes.

Wonderful experience! I was pretty excited to get a greywater system installed and Joe and the team were just amazing. I felt like Joe gave me all of the information that I needed to make the right decisions for me and several months later, I am a very happy customer! The system is working really well and my trees and plants are being watered while we are saving water from almost every source in our house.
Joe really took the time to come up with the right plan for us. The team was so wonderful to work with, considerate, clean and on time. They worked with my plumber and took the time to educate

Greywater Corps converted a bathtub and shower into a greywater system for us. Everyone on the team was friendly, patient, and explained all of the details of the process. The whole project was finished professionally in three days. I'm very excited that our bathwater will now go to helping fruit trees and fragrant flowers grow, rather than being wasted into the sewer systerm.

We used Greywater Corp to install a greywater system at our home. We now water our fruit trees with our shower and laundry. This is a great company. We couldn't be happier with their service, from inking the contract to pulling the permits to doing the job and then getting it inspected and approved. The owner Leigh is knowledgeable and trustworthy and kept us updated at every step in the process. And the workers are wizards in their various fields and all seem committed to the goal of taking care of old mother earth (which my wife and I share). We're deeply appreciative for the

I have been following the earth friendly exploits of Mr. Jerrard and his merry crew for years, always wanting to host a installation but never the twain did meet - until last year - in a different manner.
We had our front lawn extricated in light of the change in climate and water thirst that was un-abated due to the drought California experienced, and is likely the norm going forward. We planted native plants with a drip line, but we have foundation periphery "flower" beds that were not conducive to the line additions.

Eight years ago, Leigh and crew installed a greywater system off the clothes washing machine at my home so that the large bamboo hedge in the front yard would be watered each time we ran a load. He cleverly installed a valve behind the washing machine so that the system could switch to sewer if someone needed to run a load with bleach rather than the usual biodegradable soap we normally use. The system is still going strong - keeping the bamboo alive throughout the lengthy drought -! Thanks to Greywater Corp, I have NO landscape water use. The only maintenance I have ever had to do is the maintenance

While I didn't have any work done by this company, I was thrilled by their response. They were prompt, courteous and very informative. They talked to me over the phone about different ideas / options and what it might entail. Saved a lot of time because it turns out that what I had in mind won't work for my home.
Great interaction!

We've used Greywater Corps at two different homes over the past decade and recommend them without reservation. They are professional, creative, responsive, and reasonably priced. They also collaborated well with the other professionals working with us (contractor, architect, etc.). From initial contact and proposal through building and system implementation, Greywater Corps was easy to work with, and we're very happy with our system.

Leigh, Joe, and the Greywater crew are fantastic. They're quick to respond, well-informed, and generally just good people.
They built a comprehensive above-ground rainwater capture system for me about a year ago.
They took all the on-site factors into account, designed a system quickly, and had it up and running as soon as the tanks were ready - they even tied it into the existing irrigation system and installed new hose outlets so I didn't have to use city water anywhere in the yard. (also, they build to code and can tell you about applicable rebates as well).

Leigh and his crew were terrific, from start to finish. Professional and prompt, they installed a system that now re-routes the gray water from our washing machine - that would normally just be wasted down the drain - out into our backyard, providing irrigation for our citrus trees. 10,000 gallons a year!

Joe and the team are awesome! He came by for a consultation and gave me tons of details about ideas and things that can be done! I chose a relatively simple design for now which connects my bathroom and washing machine to 8 branches of water for 8 fruit trees, but hopefully in the future I can have a rain catch system too!
They are SOOO professional and work really quick. They had to break up concrete and create a pathway under my house and did everything in 2 days!!
I am super impressed! I am the second person in my family to have them install a greywater system and we are both really happy

One more home with a wonderful greywater recycling system and 10 people ready to install in their own homes! Thanks!

They explained the system and installation process, worked around my schedule, helped me choose the trees, responded quickly to questions, etc. In short, they were knowledgeable, professional and accommodating.
Installing a greywater system is a great way to conserve water, lower your water bill, reduce your energy/resource usage footprint and support green business. And for us, it was a great excuse to plant some trees that are

Leigh and Voula did a great job installing our laundry-to-landscape system. It works like a charm and I love showing it off to friends. Sometimes people assume we did it ourselves but I have to admit that we called in the professionals: Greywater Corps. We never could've done it so quickly and well, so it was worth the cost.
Our tiny little fruit trees are getting bigger everyday and the established trees are looking perkier with the help of regular waterings. I feel great doing laundry and drying it on the clothesline. I definitely recommend their services.
