Irrigation in North Port, FL

The property was pooling water at the foundation from six roof downspouts dumping directly onto the lawn. During heavy rain the volume was more than the soil could absorb, pushing water toward the foundation. We connected all six downspouts to underground drain lines with pop-up emitters at the lawn perimeter — moving the discharge away from the house and spreading it over a larger area. Straightforward install, significant difference during heavy rain events.

Water was collecting in a low area of the backyard after every storm — the grade naturally funneled toward that corner and the soil was saturated. We installed a 35-ft French drain through the problem area, added a downspout tie-in from the rear gutter, and ran a solid pipe to the swale at the rear property line. The French drain handles the subsurface saturation; the downspout run handles the roof load from storm events.

Full lanai rock bed build — bed prep, weed mat, decorative rock, 50 ft of concrete curbing for definition, and a full planting install. The existing irrigation lines ran through the footprint of the new beds, so we rerouted the heads and drip lines to match the new bed layout before the rock went in. Getting irrigation right before the rock covers everything is the only way to do it correctly.

Full property landscape and drainage build. Downspout drainage was part of the scope — the existing downspouts were discharging at the foundation and the new sod install required the drainage problem be solved first. We ran the downspout lines underground before laying sod, then completed the full build: 4 pallets sod, 90 ft concrete curbing, 742 sq ft weed mat with 7 cu yd black slate rock, and Christmas palms and agave in the main beds.
