Water is life to your Florida landscaping. Too much water and y our yard drowns in excess moisture. Too little water and y our lawn burns to a crisp under the relentless sun. A good irrigation system strikes the perfect balance, delivering water exactly where it’s needed—no waste, no dead spots, no surprises on your water bill.
But even the best systems need attention. Sprinkler heads break, valves fail, and automatic timer settings drift. A neglected system can drain your wallet while failing your lawn. Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting has seen it all. If you want a system that works year-round, you need answers. Here are the five biggest questions homeowners ask us about irrigation.
An irrigation system isn’t just a set of pipes in the ground. It’s a finely tuned network that needs regular attention. Controllers should be checked and adjusted as seasons change. Sprinkler heads need cleaning to prevent clogs. Valves must be inspected to ensure even water flow.
Rain sensors are critical in Southwest Florida. If yours isn’t working properly, your system could be running when it doesn’t need to—wasting water and running up your bill. A well-maintained system doesn’t just save money; it keeps your yard looking its best, no matter the season.
Every yard is different. Soil type, plant selection, and sun exposure all determine how a an irrigation system should be designed. At Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We map out every detail—where water needs to go, how much coverage each area requires, and what type of sprinkler heads work best for your layout.
Trenching comes first, followed by laying pipes, installing sprinkler heads, and connecting control systems. But it’s not just about getting water to your plants—it’s about getting the right amount. Too much, and you create breeding grounds for fungus and root rot. Too little, and your plants struggle.
Our team ensures your system is efficient from day one. No wasted water. No overwatering. Just the right setup for a healthy, vibrant yard.
Would you drive your car for years without an oil change? Your irrigation system works the same way. Over time, settings drift, components wear down, and unseen leaks develop.
Regular inspections catch problems before they cost you. Misaligned sprinkler heads lead to dry spots. Slow leaks add up to wasted water. Faulty timers mean watering at the wrong times—potentially violating local code regulations. Our inspections keep everything in check. We adjust, repair, and fine-tune so your irrigation system runs like it should.
Older systems weren’t built for efficiency. If yours has been in the ground for years, chances are it’s using more water than necessary. The good news? Upgrades can turn an outdated system into a water-saving powerhouse.
Smart controllers adjust watering based on real-time weather conditions. High-efficiency nozzles distribute water more evenly, preventing waste. Drip irrigation reduces evaporation, delivering water right to the roots. The right upgrades don’t just conserve water—they lower your utility bill.
At Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting, we retrofit older systems with modern technology, ensuring your yard gets the hydration it needs without the excess.
An irrigation system should do one thing well: water your yard efficiently. But when it falls out of balance, your grass suffers, your water bill spikes, and your wallet pays the price.
If your system needs repairs, maintenance, an inspection, or an upgrade, we’re here to help. Call Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting at (239) 275-8569. Your yard deserves better.
