Sprinkler Problems? Start Here.
If your irrigation system isn't doing its job, you're in the right place. These are the calls we handle every day across Trenton, Gainesville, and the surrounding neighborhoods.
A zone won't turn on, or won't shut off
Usually a stuck valve or a wiring fault. We diagnose it on the first visit and fix it on the spot whenever possible.
Broken, clogged, or tilted sprinkler heads
We repair or replace damaged heads and re-aim your coverage so the whole lawn gets water, not just half of it.
Low pressure or weak spray
We trace the real cause, whether it's an underground leak, a cracked line, or a failing valve, instead of guessing and billing you twice.
Timer or controller acting up
We repair, reprogram, or upgrade you to a smart controller that adjusts watering to the weather automatically.
Water bill suddenly higher
That's often a hidden leak you can't see from the surface. We find it before it costs you another month of wasted water.
Dry spots or soggy patches
Usually a sign your coverage or zoning needs adjustment, not more watering.
Whatever the issue, you'll get a plain-English explanation of what's wrong, what it costs, and how long it takes before work starts.

What We Do
Irrigation Services for Homes and Businesses
Water Conservation and Efficiency Upgrades
If the bill keeps climbing but the lawn looks no better for it, your system is wasting more than it uses. Our water conservation and efficiency upgrades start with a free inspection of every zone, then correct pressure and zoning problems and add smart controllers where they pay off. Most customers see a difference within a month or two.
Fast Valve and Solenoid Repairs
A zone that won't shut off wastes water every minute it sits. A zone that won't come on at all usually traces back to the same parts. Our irrigation valve and solenoid repair sorts out which one you've got, whether that's debris, a worn diaphragm, or a failed coil. Diagnosed on the first visit, usually fixed the same day.
Dependable Lawn Care Service
Dry patches, soggy corners, a timer that forgets its schedule. Our lawn care service covers coverage adjustment, controller repair, rain sensor work, smart controller upgrades, and maintenance plans. We run every zone and find what's actually failing. Free inspection and a written price before anything starts. Most repairs get scheduled the same week.
Irrigation Design and Installation From a Trusted Landscaper
New sod going in, or an old system that's finally given out. Our landscaper work covers irrigation design and layout, new installation, replacements, drip and micro-spray, head relocation, and yard drainage. We plan around your property's pressure, soil, and local watering rules, then give you a written price before we dig.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to repair a sprinkler system in Florida?
It depends on the problem. A broken head costs far less than a valve or line repair. We diagnose first, give you one clear quote, and only start work after you approve it.
Why is one zone of my sprinkler system not working?
Usually a stuck or failed valve, a broken solenoid, or a wiring fault between the controller and the zone. We diagnose it on the first visit and can typically fix it the same day.
Is it worth repairing an old sprinkler system or replacing it?
Most older systems can be repaired and optimized for much less than a full replacement. We'll tell you honestly which makes sense for your system, including when the cheaper option is the right one.
Do you fix sprinkler systems you didn't install?
Yes. We repair all major brands regardless of age or who installed them, even systems with no records or documentation.
Why is my water bill suddenly so high?
If your bill jumped without a change in habits, a hidden underground irrigation leak is a common culprit. We locate and repair leaks before they cost you another month of wasted water.
Can you move sprinkler heads after a fence or landscaping change?
Yes, relocating heads is one of our most common jobs. We reposition and re-aim coverage so your whole lawn gets water after the change.
How often should you run sprinklers in Florida?
For most Florida lawns, about twice a week in the warm months and once a week or less in winter, applying roughly half to three-quarters of an inch each time, ideally in early morning. Local watering restrictions in Alachua County also set which days you can water, and a smart controller handles all of this automatically.
What are signs of an overwatered lawn?
Spongy or squishy turf, yellowing grass, mushrooms or fungus patches, heavy thatch, and weeds like dollarweed that thrive in soggy soil. Runoff onto sidewalks and driveways is another giveaway that your system is applying more than the ground can absorb.
Do you handle commercial properties?
Yes. We install and maintain irrigation for offices, HOAs, retail properties, and other commercial sites across Alachua County.
