New installations
Zones laid out around sun, shade, beds and lawn, with heads spaced to overlap so there are no dry gaps between them.
Irrigation
Irrigation Systems, Installed and Repaired
Water where the grass is, at a time of day it does some good, without a bill that makes you shut the whole thing off.
What We Do
New systems, and the ones that stopped working right
Half of our irrigation calls are not installs. They are systems that worked fine three years ago and now leave a brown strip across the front yard every August. Usually that is coverage, not the controller.
Repairs & troubleshooting
Broken and buried heads, stuck valves, leaks, cut wire from an edger, dead transformers and controllers nobody can program.
Coverage & efficiency
Head adjustment, nozzle changes, rain sensors and seasonal controller settings so the system fits the weather instead of ignoring it.
Watering Here
We get plenty of rain, in the wrong pattern
Baldwin County gets a lot of rain in a year, and almost none of it falls when the lawn needs it. Two weeks of nothing, then four inches in an afternoon. A system set to run the same twenty minutes every morning either drowns a yard or misses it entirely — which is why a rain sensor and a seasonal schedule matter more here than a bigger pump.
Water source changes the design too. Out toward Silverhill, Robertsdale and Loxley plenty of properties run off a well, and pressure and flow there are not what city water gives you on the Eastern Shore. Zones have to be built around what the supply can actually deliver, or every head runs weak.
Sandy soil closer to the coast drains fast and wants shorter, more frequent cycles. Heavier ground inland holds water and wants longer, less frequent ones. Same equipment, different program.
Questions
Sprinklers and repairs
Can you work on a system somebody else installed?
Most of our irrigation work is exactly that. We do not need to have installed it to find a stuck valve, a broken head, a cut wire or a controller that has not been right since the last outage.
How many zones does a yard need?
It depends on water supply and what is being watered, not on lot size alone. Lawn, beds and shade areas want different amounts of water, so putting them all on one zone means something always gets too much or too little. We lay zones out around that.
Do I need to winterize a system on the Gulf Coast?
Rarely, but a hard freeze does come through every few years and it breaks backflow devices and exposed lines. We can shut a system down and protect the vulnerable parts when one is in the forecast.
Will a sprinkler system raise my water bill a lot?
It can, if it runs on a fixed schedule regardless of weather. A rain sensor and a controller set for the season are the difference between watering the lawn and watering the street after a July thunderstorm.
