Frequently Asked Questions

What Types of Irrigation Systems Are Best Suited for Fort Myers?

For the typical Fort Myers home with a lawn, a traditional sprinkler system utilizing rotor or spray heads is generally the most common and effective choice. Given the sandy soil and hot climate, these systems are essential for deep watering to sustain grass health. For flowerbeds, shrubs, and gardens, drip irrigation is highly recommended as it minimizes evaporation and delivers water directly to the root zone. Incorporating smart controllers and rain sensors is also a best practice, as they dynamically adjust watering based on real-time local weather conditions to save water. Ultimately, a blended system often provides the best balance of coverage and water efficiency for a diverse landscape.

How Often Should My Irrigation System Be Maintained?

We highly recommend having a professional inspection and tune-up performed at least twice a year to keep your irrigation system running efficiently. The first essential check should be performed in the late spring before the peak heat and demand of the summer months arrive. A second comprehensive inspection in the fall helps correct any issues that arose during the summer and prepares the system for the cooler season. Regular maintenance prevents small problems, such as minor leaks or misaligned heads, from becoming major, costly repairs. Homeowners should also perform frequent visual checks to ensure all heads are spraying correctly and there are no signs of bubbling or wet spots.

Do Fort Myers Regulations Affect Irrigation Scheduling?

Yes, all residents in the Fort Myers area must adhere to strict year-round water conservation ordinances set by local authorities and Lee County. These regulations specify which days and times you are permitted to water your lawn, typically limiting irrigation to two days per week. For instance, watering is usually prohibited between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to minimize evaporation and maximize water absorption. Special allowances exist for new sod or landscape plantings during a limited establishment period; however, the general rules apply to established lawns. Failure to comply with the mandated schedule can result in substantial fines, so system programming must be accurate.

What Are the Signs I Need a New Irrigation System Installed in My Fort Myers Home?

You likely need a new system if your current one is over 15 to 20 years old and uses outdated, inefficient technology that leads to perpetually high water bills. Constantly battling frequent and costly repairs, such as repeatedly fixing mainline breaks or replacing numerous worn-out valves, is a major indicator of the need for replacement. If your system cannot achieve uniform coverage, leaving significant dry, brown patches despite professional repairs, the design may be fundamentally flawed. Upgrading to a modern system with water-saving smart technology is often more economical in the long term than continually patching an old one. A professional assessment can determine if the cost of continuous repair outweighs the investment in a new, efficient installation.

    “He goes above and beyond what the service calls for.”

    Coastal provides excellent service. Scott Macintyre is very thorough in servicing our property, applying fertilizers and insecticides to our yard, preventative maintenance against rodents, and swiping spider webs from high in the lanai and all around the perimeter of the eaves with a long-handled broom. He goes above and beyond what the service calls for. My wife and I are very appreciative of his efforts. Our lawn and property looks great!
