Irrigation Services in Oviedo & Central Florida
Watering isn’t “set it and forget it” in Florida. Wind, sandy soil, sun/shade shifts, clogged nozzles, and mixed turf types can quickly turn a system into a problem: dry spots, fungus pressure, runoff, and wasted water.
Michael Geist’s Yard Works provides professional irrigation repairs, irrigation tuning, nozzle conversions, and controller upgrades designed for Central Florida lawns and landscapes, including Oviedo, Winter Park, Winter Springs, Lake Mary, Sanford, and nearby communities. We focus on even coverage, correct precipitation, and real-world performance — not guesswork.

We provide targeted irrigation services for homeowners, HOA communities, and properties that want healthier turf and cleaner landscapes through correct watering.

Irrigation Tuning & Optimization
head alignment and arc adjustments
correcting overspray on sidewalks/driveways
improving uniformity in problem zones
dialing in runtimes to match turf and season
Nozzle Conversions
When spray patterns and mismatched nozzles create uneven coverage, we convert nozzles to improve performance and reduce waste.
Controller Upgrades & Smart Scheduling
controller replacements/upgrades
programming improvements (real schedules, not random minutes)
seasonal adjustments and water-use efficiency settings
Coverage Improvements (When a Zone Is “Almost Right”)
correcting head spacing issues where possible

identifying when a true redesign is needed
Why Irrigation Fails in Florida”
Common Irrigation Problems in Central Florida (And What They Cause)
Florida lawns don’t fail because people “don’t water.” They fail because watering is inconsistent and uneven.
Common issues we correct:
dry patches caused by blocked nozzles, poor spacing, or wrong arcs
fungus pressure from overwatering shaded areas
runoff and puddling from too much water too fast
scalped or thinning turf where coverage is weak
bed erosion from misting or overspray hitting mulch daily
wasted water from misaligned heads watering pavement
Our goal is simple: uniform application that matches your turf and microclimates (full sun vs oak shade, slopes, sandy zones, etc.).
Our Irrigation Service Process
Step 1 — System Walkthrough
We identify zone layout, plant/turf types, sun exposure, and performance issues.
Step 2 — Run Test & Coverage Check
We observe each zone running so problems are diagnosed in reality — not theory.
Step 3 — Repairs First
Leaks and broken parts get handled first because tuning a broken system is pointless.
Step 4 — Tuning + Adjustments
We correct arcs, align heads, correct overspray, and improve uniformity.
Step 5 — Nozzle Conversions (When Needed)
We convert mismatched or inefficient nozzles to improve distribution and consistency.
Step 6 — Controller Programming + Run-Time Logic
We set schedules that reflect:
turf type (Zoysia vs St. Augustine)
sun/shade pressure
seasonal rainfall patterns
watering restrictions (when applicable)
Step 7 — Client Guidance
You get a clear explanation of what changed, why it matters, and how to maintain performance.
