Sprinklers
Rich Moseley Irrigation Inc
Introduction to Sprinkler Services
At Rich Moseley Irrigation Inc, our sprinkler services include full system design, installation, repair, and optimization for residential and commercial properties in Pinellas Park and beyond. Sprinkler systems are the most visible part of your irrigation infrastructure—and when they’re working right, your lawn and landscape look healthy with minimal effort. Since 1980, we’ve installed and serviced thousands of sprinkler heads, valves, and zones, giving us the hands-on experience necessary to deliver dependable performance in Florida’s challenging climate.
Why Sprinkler Systems Matter
A properly designed and maintained sprinkler system ensures that water is applied uniformly across your lawn and planting beds. This prevents the problems associated with overwatering and underwatering, such as root rot, fungal disease, shallow root systems, and dry patches. In Florida, with its intense sun and salty coastal influence in many areas, efficient sprinklers protect your investment in landscape design by delivering the right amount of water where it’s needed, when it’s needed.

We Offer
Comprehensive Sprinkler Services
01.
Sprinkler System Design and Consultation
We begin by assessing your property: sun exposure, plant types, slope, soil composition, and water source. Using these inputs, we design a zone-based system that balances pressure, flow, and coverage. We recommend head types—pop-up rotors, spray heads, micro-spray, or drip where appropriate—to match plant needs and minimize overspray.
02.
New System Installation & Retrofits
Whether installing a new system for a new build or updating an older system, we handle trenching, piping layout, valve boxes, controller installation, and head placement. For retrofits, we evaluate existing piping and components, recommending cost-effective upgrades like pressure regulators, efficient nozzles, and smart controllers.
03.
Head Repairs and Replacements
Damaged or misaligned heads cause uneven watering and water waste. We repair or replace heads, adjust arc and distance, and ensure proper nozzle selection for matched precipitation rates. We use durable parts built to withstand Florida’s environment.
04.
Valve and Zone Troubleshooting
Valves control water flow to each zone. Faulty valves can cause zones to stay on continuously or fail to open. Our technicians diagnose valve faults, replace solenoids, and repair valve bodies to restore proper control.
05.
Controller Programming & Smart Integration
Proper controller settings are critical for efficiency. We program timers with local watering guidelines, seasonal adjustments, and smart controller capabilities like weather-based scheduling. We also install rain sensors and moisture sensors to prevent unnecessary watering.
06.
Pressure Management and Flow Optimization
High or inconsistent pressure leads to misting, uneven coverage, and premature component failure. We install pressure-regulating devices and recommend pressure-compensating nozzles to maintain consistent performance across zones.
07.
Winterization and Spring Startup (Seasonal Services)
While Florida has mild winters, seasonal start-up checks in spring and a late-fall inspection help prepare your system for intense summer use. We test systems, clear supply lines, and ensure controllers are operating correctly.
08.
Leak Detection and Repair
Hidden leaks in lateral lines or mainlines can waste thousands of gallons. We use specialized detection tools to locate leaks and repair without unnecessary excavation whenever possible.
How We Ensure Quality
Site-specific design
No cookie-cutter layouts; each design is tailored to your property.
Durable materials
PVC or polyethylene piping, quality valve bodies, and industry-standard heads.
Skilled installation
Experienced technicians ensure correct slope, trench depth, and pipe bedding for longevity.
Post-install testing
We test each zone and adjust head(s) for maximum efficiency and coverage.
Aftercare
Training for homeowners on controller operation and recommended maintenance intervals.
Common Sprinkler Problems and Solutions
Broken or clogged heads
clean or replace heads, check for root intrusion.
Zone not activating
inspect valve solenoids, wiring, and controller outputs.
Low coverage
adjust heads, replace nozzles, or redesign zone layout to match precipitation rates.
Constantly running zone
check for stuck valve diaphragms or broken lateral lines.
Short cycling pumps
diagnose pump sizing and pressure tank function; install proper controls.
(FAQs)
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will an installation take?
For a typical residential yard, installations can take 1–3 days depending on size, excavation needs, and complexity. Commercial installations vary based on scale and permitting requirements.
What is the difference between rotors and spray heads?
Spray heads distribute water in a fixed pattern and are best for smaller zones with shorter run times. Rotors throw water further and are suited for larger zones with fewer heads. We design zones to use equipment that matches area size to maximize efficiency.
How do smart controllers save water?
Smart controllers adjust schedules based on local weather or soil moisture sensors, reducing unnecessary watering after rainfall or periods of high humidity, and optimizing run times for current conditions.
Are there any rebates for upgrading to efficient irrigation hardware?
Local water authorities occasionally offer rebates for efficient irrigation upgrades. We can help identify potential rebate programs and provide required documentation for applications.
