Controllers​

Your irrigation controller determines when, where, and how much water your landscape gets. If it malfunctions, you’re left with a system that wastes water, drives up your bill, and kills your grass. Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting keeps your irrigation system running at peak efficiency. From repairs to full installations, we ensure your controller is fully functional, legal, and optimized for water conservation.

Irrigation Controller Repair

A broken controller throws your entire irrigation system into chaos. If your sprinklers aren’t turning on, shutting off, or​ ARE​ running at the wrong times, your lawn and wallet are at risk.

Signs you need immediate repair:

  • Your system doesn’t turn on or off at scheduled times.
  • The LCD screen is blank or buttons aren’t responding.
  • Your sprinklers keep running during rain.
  • Certain zones aren’t activating while others flood.


A faulty controller doesn’t just lead to a stressed lawn—it leads to unnecessary fines and skyrocketing water bills. Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting troubleshoots and repairs controllers quickly, restoring full functionality before you waste another drop.

Irrigation Controller Maintenance

An irrigation system is only as good as its controller. If your controller isn’t properly maintained, it can’t do its job. Over time, controllers become outdated, disconnected from sensors, or improperly synced with watering schedules. This leads to overwatering, plant stress, and wasted money.

Regular maintenance ensures your system:

  • Receives software updates for smart controllers.
  • Syncs with rain sensors and weather data to prevent overwatering.
  • Adjusts for daylight savings time to follow the correct schedule.
  • Has secure, undamaged wiring that hasn’t been impacted by storms or rodents.


Without maintenance, controllers can fail without warning, leaving homeowners with dead plants, high water bills, and potential violations. Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting keeps controllers updated, optimized, and working exactly as they should.

Irrigation Controller Installation

Installing the right controller is the difference between an efficient, water-saving system and a wasteful, costly mess. Modern smart controllers take the guesswork out of irrigation, automatically adjusting watering schedules based on real-time conditions.

Why upgrade to a smart controller?

  • It syncs with local weather data to adjust watering times.
  • It automatically pauses during rain to prevent unnecessary irrigation.
  • It ensures legal compliance by only running on approved watering days.
  • It cuts water bills by up to 50% by preventing waste.


Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting installs both standard and smart controllers, ensuring your system is set up properly and meets all local irrigation regulations.

Irrigation Controller Inspection

A faulty controller can go unnoticed until damage is already done. Regular inspections prevent costly mistakes before they impact your landscape or budget. During a controller inspection, we check for:

  • Incorrect watering times that violate city restrictions.
  • Sensor malfunctions preventing automatic shutoff during rain.
  • Wiring and programming errors that lead to inefficiency.


A well-maintained controller keeps your system running smoothly, prevents water waste, and protects you from compliance violations. Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting provides thorough inspections to catch issues early and ensure peak efficiency.
