Rich Moseley Irrigation Inc
Introduction to Installation Services
Rich Moseley Irrigation Inc specializes in professional sprinkler and irrigation installations for residential and commercial properties. Our installation services cover new system builds, full system replacements, and targeted upgrades designed to increase efficiency and performance. Since 1980, we’ve provided installations that stand up to Florida’s weather and meet client expectations for reliability and long-term value.
Why Professional Installation Matters
A proper installation is the foundation of a dependable irrigation system. Incorrect pipe slope, poor head placement, or inadequate valve positioning can cause immediate inefficiencies and long-term maintenance headaches. Professional installation ensures that each component—from mainline trenching to head selection and controller programming—is executed to industry standards for maximum performance and durability.
Key Benefits of Choosing Professional Installations
Long-term reliability
Proper installation reduces future repairs and prolongs system life.
Water savings
Correct layout and equipment selection prevent overspray and reduce water use.
Compliance and safety
Installations meet local codes, backflow requirements, and electrical standards.
Warranty and accountability
Professional installations include workmanship guarantees and post-install support.
Minimal landscape disruption
Skilled crews perform trenching and restoration with minimal impact to your yard.
We Provide
Types of Installations
New Construction Irrigation Systems
For new homes and developments, we collaborate with builders and landscapers to install complete irrigation systems. We design zones, locate mainlines to minimize conflict with other utilities, and coordinate final adjustments once landscaping is established.
Full-System Replacements
Older systems often suffer from outdated controllers, deteriorated piping, and inefficient heads. We assess overall system health and provide full replacement options with modern, water-saving components.
Partial Upgrades and Retrofits
If a full replacement isn’t necessary, targeted upgrades—such as installing pressure regulators, switching to high-efficiency nozzles, or adding smart controllers—can yield substantial water savings and performance gains.
Commercial and Multi-Property Installations
We have experience with larger-scale installations for commercial properties, condominium complexes, and HOAs. These projects require careful hydraulic planning and robust equipment to manage larger zones and extended runtimes.
Specialty Installations: Drip and Micro-Irrigation
We also design and install drip systems for beds, planters, and specialty plantings. These systems deliver water directly to roots with minimal evaporation and high efficiency—ideal for ornamental gardens and drought-sensitive plantings.
(Step-by-Step)
Installation Process
01.
Property Assessment & Design
We start with an on-site evaluation to measure area size, note slopes, sun exposure, existing plant materials, and utility locations. Based on this, we propose a design with recommended zones, head types, and estimated materials.
02.
Written Proposal & Permitting
You receive a detailed written estimate. If permits are required, we help prepare documentation and coordinate with local authorities to secure necessary approvals.
03.
Excavation & Trenching
Our crews trench mainlines and lateral lines to industry-standard depths, bedding pipe to reduce stress and future cracks. We use appropriate pipe materials (PVC or polyethylene) based on site conditions and expected lifespan.
04.
Valve, Manifold, and Controller Placement
Valves are placed in accessible valve boxes for easy maintenance. Controllers are mounted in secure locations with simple access for programming.
05.
Head Placement & Fine-Tuning
Heads are placed and aligned to avoid runoff and overspray. We select nozzles and arcs that match precipitation rates across each zone for uniform coverage.
06.
System Testing & Calibration
After installation, we run each zone, measure flow and pressure, and calibrate run times. We verify even distribution and make adjustments to ensure system efficiency.
07.
Cleanup & Restoration
We restore turf and surfaces where trenches were dug and ensure the property is left tidy. For larger projects, we coordinate additional landscaping restoration as necessary.
08.
Client Training & Documentation
We provide controller programming instructions, a basic maintenance guide, and system documentation. We also offer optional maintenance plans to keep your system in optimal condition.

Common Installation Considerations
Soil conditions in Pinellas Park
sandy soils require careful pipe bedding and backfill to prevent settling.
Salt exposure near coastal properties
select corrosion-resistant components.
Landscape maturity
allow for future plant growth when locating heads to prevent obstruction.
Utility coordination
identify underground utilities prior to excavation to avoid damage and delays.
(FAQs)
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical residential installation take?
Installation time depends on yard size and complexity. A typical single-family home's system often takes 1–3 days, while larger or commercial jobs require longer timelines.
Will my yard be ruined during installation?
Our crew minimizes disruption and restores turf and surfaces after trenching. Proper backfilling and sod replacement help return the yard to its prior condition quickly.
Do you provide warranties?
We stand behind our workmanship and offer warranties on installation labor and materials as specified in your contract. Specific manufacturer warranties on components also apply.
Can you install irrigation during new construction phases?
Yes. We coordinate with builders and landscapers to install irrigation at the appropriate stage in construction, ensuring minimal disruption and efficient integration with landscaping plans.
