In Fort Myers, irrigation is no longer about simply turning on a timer; it is about precision, compliance, and protecting your investment year-round. Smart irrigation systems give you the power to manage exactly when, where, and how much water your property receives, even during Florida’s strict dry-season schedules. At Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting, we install and maintain systems equipped with advanced controllers, soil moisture sensors, and real-time weather adjustments. The result is clear: healthier plants, smaller water bills, and zero surprises from code enforcement.

Systems Designed for Florida’s Seasonal Demands

Southwest Florida’s climate shifts fast, and traditional timers fail to keep up. From November through April, dry-season watering requires accuracy to prevent drought stress without wasting a gallon. From May through late September, daily rains make overwatering just as damaging as neglect. Smart irrigation systems make automatic adjustments based on current conditions, which means no wasted water during a sudden storm and no parched plants in a heat wave.

Built-In Compliance You Don’t Have to Think About

Florida law requires every irrigation system to have a working rain sensor, and Lee County has strict watering-day schedules. Smart irrigation systems manage this automatically by pausing operation during rain, logging water use, and keeping your schedule in line with legal requirements. We use Rain Bird smart controllers, Hunter Industries weather-based systems, and K-Rain soil monitoring technology to ensure your property stays in compliance without constant manual checks.

Dry Season Efficiency Without Waste

When the dry season arrives, every gallon matters. Our systems measure soil moisture before watering and deliver only what each zone needs. This eliminates wasted water, prevents overwatering drought-tolerant plants, and ensures delicate areas are never under-watered. Whether the property is residential or commercial, every drop is put to use.

Rainy Season Protection for Your Landscaping

Florida’s rainy season demands an entirely different irrigation strategy. Our smart systems pause or skip cycles automatically when storms roll through, protecting your landscaping from root disease and soil erosion. The system also adapts watering duration to match soil absorption rates so water reaches the roots instead of pooling on the surface.

Hurricane Season Preparedness

From June to November, storm season brings additional threats to irrigation equipment. We program smart systems to shut down before a major storm to reduce the risk of electrical damage or flooding impacts. After the storm passes, we inspect, recalibrate, and restore service quickly so your property is back on schedule without long delays.

Long-Term Performance and Savings

Smart irrigation is not just about convenience; it is about long-term returns. Reduced water use lowers utility bills, fewer plant losses mean lower replacement costs, and system components last longer when they operate efficiently. Our maintenance programs keep every controller, sensor, and valve in peak condition through software updates, seasonal adjustments, and calibration.
