Smart Irrigation Solutions in Fort Lauderdale

Smart Lawn Irrigation for Homes & Businesses

Conserva Irrigation of Fort Lauderdale provides smart irrigation systems for residential and commercial landscapes using technology from Toro and Hunter. We design each system to reduce water consumption while maintaining a healthy landscape.

Understanding Smart Irrigation Systems

Smart lawn irrigation uses a controller, weather sensor, and soil sensor to respond to current conditions. The sensors relay local conditions and soil-saturation information, helping the controller determine which irrigation zones should run. Unlike a standard timer that follows the same routine, an intelligent controller adjusts watering based on the conditions affecting your property.

Advantages of Smart Irrigation Systems

Smart irrigation offers practical benefits for landscape management:

Water Conservation: Smart irrigation systems use weather data and soil moisture sensors to optimize watering schedules and significantly reduce water waste.
Cost Savings: By using water more efficiently, you can lower your water bills and reduce the need for costly landscape repairs.
Convenience: Automated schedules reduce the need to manually reset a conventional irrigation timer as conditions change.
Healthier Landscapes: Consistent, precise watering gives plants the right amount of water and promotes healthier growth.

Typical water-use savings from smart irrigation technology range from 15% to 40%, according to U.S. Department of Energy research. Actual savings depend on the existing system, landscape needs, controller settings, and property conditions, so results aren’t guaranteed.

Enhancing Water Conservation with Smart Irrigation

Water conservation is especially important in areas prone to drought. Smart irrigation systems use real-time data to adjust watering times, giving your landscape the water it needs without unnecessary overwatering.

We use three core approaches to reduce landscape water waste: smart irrigation technology, rain sensor irrigation, and drip irrigation. Smart controllers respond to weather and soil conditions, rain sensors interrupt watering during sufficient rainfall, and drip irrigation applies water directly to plant root zones. We also provide irrigation installation, sprinkler repair, and ongoing maintenance packages.

Fort Lauderdale Landscape Watering Restrictions

As of 2026, Broward County’s year-round schedule generally limits standard landscape irrigation to two days per week when the water comes from a utility, lake, pond, canal, or well. Odd-numbered addresses generally water on Wednesdays and Saturdays, while even-numbered addresses generally water on Thursdays and Sundays. Standard landscape watering is generally prohibited on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays.

Permitted watering hours vary by municipality, so the applicable local window still matters. Our smart controllers use real-time local conditions to adjust schedules automatically and help customers stay within South Florida Water Management District guidelines. Low-volume methods such as drip, trickle, bubbler, and microspray irrigation are treated differently from standard sprinkler watering and are exempt from the standard watering-day restrictions.

Understanding the Cost of Smart Irrigation Systems

Pricing depends on your property, the condition and complexity of the existing system, and the controller, sensors, or other features selected for the upgrade.

Our Free Inspection is available to new Conserva Irrigation of Fort Lauderdale customers who have an operational irrigation system at the time of inspection. Additional inspection fees may apply, and we discuss them in advance.

Smart irrigation pricing varies with property size, system complexity, and the features selected. A personalized quote accounts for the condition of your existing system and the upgrades needed for your landscape. Contact us for a quote based on your needs.

Our maintenance packages are priced separately from a smart irrigation installation or controller upgrade. The Nice ’N Easy maintenance package starts at $250 per year and includes two annual inspections plus 10% off system upgrades. The Full Season maintenance package starts at $480 per year and includes four annual inspections plus 10% off system upgrades.

Steps for Smart Irrigation Installation

Our process starts with an examination of the existing irrigation system before we select upgrades for the property. We address urgent problems first, improve system performance, and then determine which intelligent controllers and sensors fit the system.

Inspection: We begin with a Free Inspection that produces a System Efficiency Score and identifies existing irrigation issues.
Urgent Repairs: We fix urgent problems before moving forward with performance improvements or technology upgrades.
System Optimization: We evaluate irrigation zones and existing components to improve how the overall system operates.
Technology Upgrades: We replace outdated timers with intelligent controllers and sensors selected for the property’s irrigation requirements.
Installation: Our professional technicians handle irrigation installation, including controllers, sensors, and sprinklers.
Testing: We thoroughly test the system to confirm that controllers, sensors, sprinklers, and each zone operate together correctly.
Training: We provide training on how to use and manage the new smart irrigation system.
Maintenance: Our ongoing maintenance plans help keep controllers, sensors, and irrigation components working as intended.

Actual water savings vary with the existing system, property conditions, and irrigation settings.

Smart Irrigation Controllers from Toro & Hunter

We use technology from our product partnerships with Toro and Hunter rather than recommending the same controller for every property. Controller selection depends on the existing irrigation system and the upgrades needed to manage watering effectively.

The Hunter Hydrawise Wi-Fi Controller is one smart-controller option we offer. It uses real-time local weather data to adjust watering automatically, reducing the need to revise a fixed timer whenever conditions change. Weather and soil information help the controller determine whether individual zones should operate.

Rain Sensors & Shut-Off Devices

As of 2026, Florida law requires automatic landscape irrigation systems to include technology that inhibits or interrupts operation during periods of sufficient moisture. A working rain sensor or equivalent shut-off device fulfills this moisture-interruption requirement and stops scheduled watering when rainfall makes it unnecessary.

Licensed contractors working on automatic landscape irrigation systems must test the rain sensor or shut-off device for correct operation. A nonworking device must be repaired or replaced before other work on the system is completed.

Drip & Micro-Irrigation Options

Drip irrigation is one of our core water-conservation techniques. Drip, trickle, bubbler, and microspray systems apply water at or near plant root zones rather than distributing it across an entire area with conventional sprinkler heads.

Low-volume irrigation and micro-irrigation are exempt from Fort Lauderdale’s standard landscape watering-day restrictions. South Florida Water Management District guidance still encourages property owners to voluntarily reduce low-volume irrigation when plants don’t need additional water.

Maintaining Your Smart Irrigation System

Regular maintenance keeps a smart irrigation system operating efficiently over time. Key tasks include:

Checking the system for leaks and signs of damage.
Keeping sensors clean and calibrated to monitor soil moisture accurately.
Installing controller software updates that provide current features and enhancements.
Adjusting the schedule as seasonal conditions change.

We offer ongoing maintenance packages based on the level of system oversight you need. Package visits give us opportunities to check for leaks and damage, review sensors, adjust schedules, and keep controller settings aligned with changing conditions.
