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.

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”)

  • 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.
