Irrigation Systems in Orlando, FL
Central Florida's dry season runs November through May — and without a properly functioning irrigation system, your turf and landscape beds suffer the consequences. We install new systems, repair existing ones, upgrade controllers to smart technology, and help property owners stay compliant with St. Johns River Water Management District watering restrictions without sacrificing a healthy lawn.
Irrigation Services for Central Florida
A well-designed irrigation system is one of the best investments a Central Florida property can make. Proper coverage protects your turf investment, keeps landscape beds healthy, and — with smart programming — can actually reduce your water bill compared to an outdated or poorly maintained system.
-
New System Installation
We design and install complete irrigation systems for new construction, newly landscaped properties, and homes that have never had in-ground irrigation. Every design is zone-mapped to match turf areas, planting beds, and any specialty areas like raised planters or sod installations. We calculate precipitation rates, head spacing, and pipe sizing to deliver uniform coverage — not just wet spots and dry patches.
-
Irrigation Audit & Assessment
For existing systems, we run a full audit: cycling every zone, checking head coverage and spacing, testing pressure at representative heads, identifying broken or tilted heads, locating leaks, and documenting coverage gaps. We provide a written report with prioritized repairs and efficiency recommendations. Many Central Florida systems are years or decades old and have never been professionally inspected — an audit often reveals easy wins that save significant water and money.
-
Sprinkler Repair & Head Replacement
Broken pop-up heads, cracked spray nozzles, heads that mow crews have been trimming around for years, heads that tilt inward and spray the mulch instead of the turf — these are the most common irrigation problems we encounter in Central Florida. We repair and replace heads using matched equipment so coverage stays consistent across the zone, and we adjust arc and radius on nearby heads when coverage patterns have shifted over time.
-
Smart Controller Upgrades
Older mechanical timers water on a fixed schedule regardless of whether it rained the day before or whether temperatures have dropped 20 degrees. Smart controllers with rain sensors and weather-based adjustment can reduce outdoor water use by 20–50% compared to traditional timers — and they help property owners stay within SJRWMD mandated watering days without having to manually adjust the clock every season change. We install and program Wi-Fi-enabled controllers that can be managed from your phone.
-
Leak Detection & Zone Repair
Irrigation leaks in Central Florida often go undetected for months because the system runs before dawn and water drains into sandy soil quickly. Signs include unusually high water bills, perpetually soggy areas, or turf that's green in one patch and stressed everywhere else. We use pressure testing and systematic zone isolation to locate leaks precisely, then make durable repairs using proper fittings — not temporary patches.
-
Seasonal Programming
Florida irrigation needs are dramatically different between the dry season (November–May) and the rainy season (June–September). Most systems are set once and forgotten — which means they're either under-watering in spring or wasting water during summer thunderstorm months when supplemental irrigation is rarely needed. We program seasonal run-time schedules, set watering days to comply with local restrictions, and adjust for any new planting zones added during the year.
Our Irrigation Process
Whether you need a new system installed or an aging one brought back to peak performance, we follow a methodical process that results in reliable, efficient irrigation — not a quick fix that fails in six months.
Assessment & Documentation
We visit your property and run every zone, documenting coverage, pressure, head condition, and any existing problems. For new installations, we map your turf and bed areas and determine the optimal zone layout and head types. You get a written summary of findings and a clear scope of work before we schedule anything.
Repair or Installation
Our irrigation technicians handle everything from simple head replacements to full system installations. We work within your existing system wherever possible to keep costs reasonable, and we only recommend full zone redesigns when the existing layout genuinely can't deliver adequate coverage. All work is performed with licensed irrigation contractors where required.
Programming & Compliance Setup
After repairs or installation, we program your controller for the current season, set watering days to comply with SJRWMD restrictions for your address, verify rain sensor function, and confirm run times are appropriate for your grass type and soil conditions. We walk you through controller operation and leave written programming notes so you can make adjustments independently if needed.
Why Central Florida Property Owners Trust Us With Their Irrigation
We Understand Florida Water Restrictions
The St. Johns River Water Management District restricts irrigation to two days per week for most residential properties and three days for commercial during certain drought phases — with fines for violations. We know the rules for every county and municipality we serve, and we program every system we touch to operate within those restrictions. We also know how to design run-time schedules that keep landscapes healthy within the permitted watering windows.
Commercial Irrigation Experience
Large commercial properties — HOA communities, office parks, retail centers — have complex irrigation systems with dozens of zones covering acres of turf and hundreds of linear feet of planting beds. We manage commercial irrigation at the same depth we apply to all our commercial services: dedicated account management, documented service records, and proactive reporting rather than waiting for a problem to become visible from the street.
Irrigation & Maintenance Under One Roof
Most irrigation problems get caught by the lawn maintenance crew first — a wet spot in the turf, clippings clogging a nozzle, a head that got clipped during mowing. Because we provide both maintenance and irrigation services, our crews are instructed to flag irrigation issues every visit. You don't need a separate contractor relationship to keep your system healthy — we handle it as part of your ongoing service.
Irrigation Service Across Central Florida
We install and service irrigation systems for homes and commercial properties throughout the Orlando metro. Our technicians are familiar with local water pressure variations, soil conditions, and SJRWMD watering schedules for every area we serve.
