Frequently Asked Questions

How much does irrigation installation cost?

A typical residential irrigation system in Southwest Florida costs $3,000-$8,000 depending on lot size, number of zones, and water source. Commercial systems vary significantly by scope. We provide detailed proposals with zone-by-zone breakdowns.

Should I use city water or a well for irrigation?

In Southwest Florida, wells are generally more economical for irrigation — no water bill for landscape watering. However, well water quality varies and some areas have sulfur or mineral issues. We can install pump systems for wells or connect to city water with proper backflow protection.

Do you install smart irrigation controllers?

Yes. We recommend smart controllers (like Hunter Hydrawise or Rachio) for all new installations. They adjust watering based on weather data, saving 20-40% on water use compared to traditional timers. They also help comply with local watering restrictions.

Can you install irrigation for a sports field?

Absolutely. Sports field irrigation requires specific head spacing, precipitation rates, and coverage patterns. We install systems for tennis courts, soccer fields, baseball diamonds, and multi-use athletic facilities. Our trenching equipment handles the larger pipe sizes and deeper trenches sports fields require.
