Irrigation
Irrigation engineered for Central Florida soil and climate.
Most of what fails in a Florida irrigation system fails for the same reasons: head spacing that ignores wind drift, pressure that exceeds nozzle spec, and soil profiles the original installer never measured. We design for the place we're standing in.

What's included
The full irrigation scope of work.
- System design & installation
Pressure-balanced zones, head-to-head spacing, full coverage by design — not by hope.
- Repair & troubleshooting
Diagnose the actual cause, not the obvious symptom. Most pressure problems aren't pressure problems.
- Smart Wi-Fi controllers
Hunter, Rain Bird, Rachio installation and programming. Sensors integrated and tested.
- Drip & micro-irrigation
Beds, containers, and water-restricted plantings where overhead spray would waste.
- Pump services
Well and lake water, jet and submersible, sized for the actual demand.
- Mainline & lateral repair
Locate, expose, fix — without trenching the entire yard.
- Valve service
Diaphragm, solenoid, and isolation valve repair and replacement.
- Rain & soil moisture sensors
Required by Florida statute on new systems. Integrated with smart controllers.
- Sprinkler head replacement
MP rotators, fixed sprays, full rotors — matched to the original spec or upgraded.
- Winterization
On request for snowbird-occupied properties.
- Water audits
Quantify what your system delivers vs. what's billed. Often the bigger savings.
Approach
Most irrigation problems aren't irrigation problems.
A failing zone is usually a head spacing issue, a pressure mismatch, or a soil profile the original installer never measured. Florida sand drains in minutes; clay subsoil holds water for days. Designing for one and ignoring the other is why so many systems water the air and starve the roots.
We measure before we install, and we diagnose before we replace. That's the difference 35 years of Central Florida work makes — and the only reason a state certification is worth what it costs.

Florida specifics
Sand on top. Clay underneath. Plan for both.
Central Florida is split across two water management districts — SJRWMD east of the divide, SWFWMD west — and each runs its own watering schedule, restrictions, and residential rebate programs. We work within both.
Statute requires rain sensors on new systems. Soil moisture sensors are not required, but they're the single biggest water-saving upgrade most established systems can make. We'll tell you whether yours qualifies for a district rebate before we quote it.
Water where the roots are — heads set to spec, timed to district schedules.
In detail
What each part of the practice covers.
Design & installation
We start with the property — soil, topography, prevailing wind, sun exposure — and design backwards from coverage requirements to head selection, pipe sizing, and zone breakdown. Built once, correctly, beats rebuilt twice.
Repair & troubleshooting
A failing zone usually has a layered problem: a head out of spec, a pressure mismatch upstream, and a controller program nobody updated since installation. We diagnose all three before swapping any parts.
Smart controllers
Modern Wi-Fi controllers (Hunter Hydrawise, Rain Bird ESP-Me, Rachio) cut water bills 20–40% when programmed correctly. We install, integrate sensors, and set seasonal adjustments that follow Florida watering restrictions.
Drip & micro-irrigation
For beds, containers, foundation plantings, and any property under SWFWMD or SJRWMD watering restrictions, low-volume drip and micro-spray deliver water to roots without the wind-drift losses of overhead spray.
Credential in context
Florida State Certified Irrigation Contractor
The highest level of irrigation contractor licensing in Florida — held by a small minority of contractors statewide. The certification covers design and installation work that an unlicensed handyman is not legally permitted to perform.
