Greater Orlando
Orange County.
Approximately 45 minutes from Leesburg. High commercial volume, dense HOA-governed neighborhoods, and a deep inventory of mature 1980s–1990s properties whose original irrigation systems are at end-of-life. New construction concentrated on the west side (Winter Garden, Horizon West) and east (Lake Nona).
- Water Management District
- St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD)
- Soil profile
- Predominantly sandy with hardpan layers in many areas. St. Augustine and Bahia are the dominant turf species. Compacted construction-fill soils are common in newer subdivisions and require bed remediation before installation.

District context
Florida is not uniform. Neither is Orange County.
A narrow western strip falls into SWFWMD; the rest of the county follows SJRWMD rules. Orange County also enforces stricter local irrigation watering ordinances than the district minimum in most municipalities.
What we hear from this county
Typical concerns and how we approach them.
End-of-life irrigation systems
Two-decade-old MR16 controllers, brass valves seized open, and head spacing that ignored thirty years of plant growth. Most of our Orange County calls start as 'a head broke' and end as a system retrofit.
HOA-restricted plant palettes
Most established Orange County HOAs publish approved plant lists. We design within them, file what needs filing, and tell you up front when a request would require an architectural review committee variance.
Commercial property maintenance
Office parks, retail centers, and mixed-use commercial properties — recurring maintenance scoped to the lease structure and the building's grounds-budget reality.
Local notes
Specifics worth knowing about Orange County.
City of Orlando watering
Orlando enforces its own irrigation schedule that is stricter than SJRWMD in some seasons. We program controllers to comply with whichever is tighter at the time.
Smart-controller rebates
Both Orange County Utilities and the Orlando Utilities Commission run periodic rebate programs for Wi-Fi controllers and soil moisture sensors. We track which are active and identify rebate-eligible scope before we quote.
