Indigenous Plants and Eco-Friendly Planting

Using native plant communities delivers a durable, low‑input landscape that thrives in Indian River's salty conditions, sandy terrain, and hot weather. You select function first: stabilize dunes with sea oats, screen areas with Simpson's stopper, and accent entries with native palms or ground cover. Florida natives provide structure while minimizing care requirements.

Improve habitat quality with layered pollinator gardens - butterfly weed, gaillardia, and powderpuff for nectar and larval resources; hamelia and lonicera for continuous flowering cycles. Right‑plant, right‑place is nonnegotiable: align environmental conditions, soil chemistry, growth patterns, and exposure levels. Use plant communities, not individual plants, to achieve harmonious multi-level plantings. Specify native, region-specific plants to protect native gene pools and minimize establishment stress. Apply pine straw or crushed shell for longevity and neat appearance.

Efficient Irrigation Solutions

Our system optimizes irrigation by implementing smart controllers and soil-moisture sensors that adjust watering schedules in real time.

To complete the system, we combine rain harvesting with pump-driven supply lines and backflow protection, favoring harvested water before public water systems.

Intelligent Control Systems and Sensors

Intelligent irrigation control provides precise data-based control to your landscape, reducing water consumption while protecting plant health. We utilize controllers that incorporate weather feeds and Microclimate Sensors to adjust runtimes by zone. Intelligent scheduling systems evaluates evapotranspiration, sun exposure, wind, and canopy density so you water only when needed. Soil Moisture probes confirm in-ground conditions, preventing unnecessary cycles and preserving root zones from excess moisture.

We deliver sophisticated Fault Detection: sensors compare planned and real-time usage, instantly flagging leaks, stuck valves, or broken heads. Alerts route to your phone, and affected zones can be disabled until repairs are completed. We fine-tune setpoints, seasonal coefficients, and soak-cycles to align with your landscape's topography, soil composition, and plant types. The benefit: healthier plants, fewer callbacks, and measurable water savings.

Drip Systems and Zones

Perfect your irrigation setup at the root zone with purpose-built drip systems that dispense measured gallons per hour precisely where vegetation requires it. Benefit from controlled irrigation, decreased evaporation, and consistent distribution across plant beds with varied demand.

We develop hydrozones using zoned emitters matched to plant types, soil conditions, and gradients. Multiple irrigation delivery methods enable specific irrigation for landscape features and plantings with precise application. Precise pressure management ensures steady distribution, eliminating pressure issues and inconsistent coverage. Our filtration systems are designed to maintain clean water flow, then set lateral spacing and emitter spacing based on soil absorption to ensure optimal water absorption.

You'll be able to control every zone independently for seasonal adjustments and establishment periods. We confirm proper operation through pressure and flow testing, followed by documenting irrigation layout, valve assignments and upkeep protocols for reliable, efficient watering.

Rain Capture Integration

Across the entire system, we integrate rain harvesting into your irrigation system to offset potable demand and stabilize soil moisture. We begin by analyzing site hydraulics: assess catchment yield, downspout flow rates, and primary discharge levels, then choose food-grade roof cisterns matched with storm intensity and drought targets. We combine pre-filtration with ozone or UV, match pump curves to emitter pressure, and automate valves via weather predictions and soil conditions.

We provide tiered storage that combines collected rain with water reclamation where codes permit, supplying reclaimed water to drip irrigation zones without cross-connection risk. We engineer spillway routes to natural filtration areas and absorption beds, preventing erosion and enhancing aquifer replenishment. Smart monitoring systems measure water volumes, favor natural water collection, and transition smoothly to city water.
