You’ve invested thousands in your landscaping. Palm trees, sod, shrubs – it all adds up fast. But Florida’s unpredictable weather and water restrictions make it nearly impossible to keep everything thriving with a hose and sprinkler.
A properly designed sprinkler system changes everything. You’ll cut your water usage by 40-60% compared to manual watering while giving every plant exactly what it needs. No more dead spots, no more overwatering, no more dragging hoses around your yard in the heat.
The system pays for itself through water savings, typically within three years. Plus, you’re looking at an 86% return on investment when it comes time to sell.
At Sprinkler Contractors of Palm Beaches LLC, we understand what works in Greenacres. We’ve been installing irrigation systems throughout Palm Beach County, dealing with everything from sandy soil to water restrictions to Florida’s increasingly unpredictable weather patterns.
Our team designs systems that work with Florida’s climate, not against it. We use rain sensors and soil moisture technology that’s actually required by law here – because we know how to build systems that conserve water while keeping your investment protected.
Every system we install is customized for your specific property, taking into account your soil type, sun exposure, and the unique watering needs of different areas in your yard.
First, we assess your property. We look at your soil, existing landscaping, water pressure, and yard layout to design zones that make sense. Different areas need different amounts of water – your lawn, flower beds, and shrubs all have unique requirements.
Next, we design your custom system. We map out sprinkler head placement, determine the right equipment for each zone, and plan the most efficient layout for your property. Everything gets planned before we break ground.
Then we install everything properly. We dig trenches for underground piping, install valves and controllers, place sprinkler heads, and connect everything to your water supply. The whole process typically takes one to two days, and we clean up completely when we’re done.
Finally, we test and program your system. We make sure every zone works correctly, adjust spray patterns, and program your controller for optimal watering schedules that comply with local water restrictions.
Ready to get started?
Your system includes everything needed for reliable, efficient irrigation. We install high-quality sprinkler heads designed for Florida conditions, underground piping that won’t shift or break, and control valves that handle our climate.
The controller we install uses real-time weather data to adjust watering automatically. When it rains, your system knows not to run. When temperatures spike, it adjusts accordingly. This isn’t just convenient – it’s required by Florida law and saves serious money on your water bill.
In Greenacres specifically, we account for the area’s soil conditions and typical weather patterns. Your system gets designed around the fact that Florida summers are getting hotter and precipitation is becoming less predictable. We build systems that work reliably even when conditions change.
Each zone can be customized with different sprinkler types – rotary heads for large lawn areas, spray heads for smaller spaces, and specialized nozzles for plant beds. Everything gets positioned to avoid watering your house, driveway, or sidewalk.
For most Greenacres properties, which are typically around a quarter-acre, you’re looking at $2,500 to $5,500 for a complete installation. The average runs about $3,500, but your actual cost depends on your property size, the number of zones needed, and any unique challenges like slopes or existing landscaping.
The system typically pays for itself within three years through water savings. Most homeowners save 40-60% on their water usage compared to manual watering, and that adds up quickly with Florida’s utility rates. Plus, you’re looking at an 86% return on investment in increased home value.
We provide detailed quotes that break down all costs upfront – no surprises or hidden fees. The investment makes sense when you consider you’re protecting thousands of dollars worth of landscaping while saving time and water every week.
Most residential installations in Greenacres take one to two days to complete. We start by marking utilities and laying out the system design, then dig trenches for the underground piping. The actual installation includes placing pipes, installing valves and sprinkler heads, connecting to your water supply, and programming the controller.
Weather can affect timing – we won’t install during heavy rain since it makes trenching difficult and affects the quality of our work. But Florida’s generally favorable weather means we can work year-round, unlike northern climates.
After installation, we test every zone thoroughly and program your system for optimal performance. We also walk you through how to operate and adjust your new system, so you’re completely comfortable with it before we leave.
Yes, most sprinkler installations in Greenacres require permits, and we handle all the paperwork for you. The permitting process ensures your system meets local codes and connects safely to your water supply. It also ensures proper backflow prevention, which is required to protect the municipal water system.
We’re familiar with Greenacres’ specific requirements and work directly with the city’s building department. This includes proper valve placement, required rain sensors (mandatory in Florida), and ensuring your system complies with local water restriction ordinances.
Getting permits might add a few days to the timeline, but it’s essential for a legal installation. Plus, having permitted work protects you if you ever sell your home – buyers and inspectors expect to see proper documentation for major improvements like irrigation systems.
Florida’s climate demands sprinkler heads that can handle heat, humidity, and our intense summer sun. We typically use rotary heads for larger lawn areas because they distribute water more slowly and evenly, reducing runoff and allowing better soil absorption.
For smaller areas and plant beds, spray heads work well, but we choose models with pressure-compensating nozzles that maintain consistent coverage even when water pressure fluctuates. This is important in Florida where municipal water pressure can vary, especially during peak usage times.
We also install specialized drip irrigation for plant beds and shrubs. This delivers water directly to root zones, which is more efficient in our climate and helps prevent the fungal issues that can develop when leaves stay wet in Florida’s humidity. Every head gets positioned to avoid watering hardscapes and buildings, maximizing efficiency while protecting your property.
In Greenacres, the optimal watering schedule is typically 2-3 times per week rather than daily. Florida lawns actually perform better with deeper, less frequent watering because it encourages roots to grow deeper, making grass more drought-resistant.
Your specific schedule depends on the season, your grass type, and current weather conditions. During Florida’s rainy season (roughly June through October), you might not need to run the system at all some weeks. During dry periods, you might need to increase frequency slightly.
We program your controller with smart scheduling that adjusts automatically based on weather data and soil moisture levels. The system knows not to run when it’s raining or when soil moisture is adequate. This isn’t just efficient – it’s required by Florida law and helps you comply with local water restrictions that limit watering to certain days of the week.
Modern sprinkler controllers include battery backup that maintains your programmed schedule even during power outages. The backup typically lasts 24-48 hours, which covers most weather-related outages in our area. When power returns, your system resumes its normal schedule automatically.
However, the system won’t actually run during an outage since it needs electricity to operate the valves and pump (if you have one). This is actually beneficial during storms – you don’t want the system running when you can’t monitor it, and storm conditions usually provide plenty of natural irrigation anyway.
We install controllers with non-volatile memory, meaning your programming doesn’t get lost during outages. Some newer models even connect to WiFi, allowing you to monitor and adjust your system remotely using your smartphone, which is handy for checking on things after storms or when you’re traveling.
