A sprinkler system acting up has a sneaky way of showing itself in your yard, whether it's brown patches creeping across the lawn, a soggy corner that never dries out, or a water bill that keeps climbing for no clear reason. At Great Scapes Landscaping & Lighting, we tackle that with irrigation repair for homes and businesses in Fort Myers, FL, and the surrounding areas, getting to the root of the problem so your yard looks green and healthy again. We track down whatever's gone wrong and set it right, so you stop guessing and start seeing results.
Based in Fort Myers, FL, Great Scapes Landscaping & Lighting is a local irrigation repair company serving homeowners and businesses throughout the surrounding communities. Our team handles residential troubleshooting, commercial system fixes, drainage and oversaturation correction, and full performance checks, all focused purely on repair work rather than new installs. Every job runs through our own crew, so you get one dependable team handling your irrigation repairs from the first inspection to the final test run.
We get calls about this all the time. Your yard starts showing brown, crispy patches in some spots while another corner stays soggy for days, and somehow the water bill keeps creeping up even though the lawn looks worse than ever.
Usually the culprit is hiding underground where you'd never spot it. Heads get clogged or knocked out of alignment, valves stick open or refuse to open at all, lines crack and leak, and zones drift out of balance over time, so some areas get drenched while others go thirsty. Down here, our sandy soil, hard water, and constant use just speed all of that wear along.
We start by tracking down what's actually going wrong instead of guessing. Our crew conducts a full inspection of every zone, head, and valve, then handles the repair, whether that means clearing clogs, swapping worn parts, sealing leaks, or correcting drainage issues in a spot that stays too wet. For emergencies, like a stuck valve flooding your yard, we respond quickly to shut it down before it causes further damage, and we finish every job with a performance check to ensure each zone is watering as it should.
The result is a system that quietly does its job again. Every part of your yard gets the right amount of water, those dry patches green back up, the soggy corners finally dry out, and your bill settles back to where it belongs because nothing's leaking or running longer than it needs to.
Here's a look at the different ways we get your system back up and running.
Larger properties depend on irrigation that runs reliably day in and day out. Our crew handles commercial irrigation system repair for offices, complexes, and other businesses, keeping your grounds green without the headaches. Quick, dependable fixes mean your property stays presentable, and your landscaping investment stays protected.
A misbehaving home system rarely announces what's actually wrong. Through careful troubleshooting, we chase down the real culprit behind dry spots, weak pressure, or zones that won't turn on. Once we know what we're dealing with, our sprinkler system repair restores even, healthy coverage.
Some problems can't wait for a scheduled visit, like a stuck valve soaking your yard or a line gushing water. Our emergency irrigation repair services send a technician out quickly to resolve the issue and get things under control. Acting quickly here saves you water, money, and a whole lot of stress.
Too much water can hurt a yard just as badly as too little. When a system floods certain areas or leaves the ground soggy, we pinpoint the cause and correct the drainage so the ground dries out properly. Balancing it all out keeps your roots healthy and stops those swampy, mosquito-friendly patches.
Catching small issues early keeps them from snowballing into bigger ones. A full irrigation system inspection walks through every zone, head, and valve to spot leaks, clogs, and worn parts before they cause real damage. We finish with a performance check to ensure your system is running as it should.
A backyard should still feel usable after the sun clocks out for the day. Our landscape lighting services help guide the eye and brighten the areas that matter most, from walkways, patios, and pool decks to fountains, balconies, columns, garden beds, decks, and outdoor sitting areas.
If you like the idea of lights that are always ready when you need them, permanent lighting is a pretty handy upgrade. Our team can add roofline lighting, dock lighting, smart exterior controls, outdoor LED lighting, color-changing systems, architectural accents, and built-in lighting options for residential and commercial properties.
Holiday lights have a way of looking magical once they are up, but the setup is usually where the fun takes a nosedive. With our holiday lighting services, we handle custom designs, rooflines, trees, shrubs, walkway accents, LED Christmas lighting, tidy wire placement, timers, smart controls, seasonal support, takedown, and organized storage options.
A fresh paver layout can make an outdoor space feel cleaner, sturdier, and much easier to use. Our paver installation services can include patios, driveways, walkways, pool decks, fire pit areas, seating spaces, backyard entertainment zones, commercial areas, repairs, replacements, sealing, grading, drainage prep, and custom patterns.
Good lanai lighting should help you enjoy the space without blinding you or causing glare on every screen panel. We install discreet Nebula or cap-style lighting on pool cage beams to create a soft downward glow around walkways, steps, pool edges, and screened seating areas using corrosion-resistant materials made for Florida conditions.
The best outdoor projects usually start with a clear plan instead of a bunch of disconnected ideas. Our landscape design services can include designer-led planning, 2D and 3D render videos, layout revisions, plant choices, hedge removal planning, botanical updates, and more.
When the landscape feels dated, patchy, or unfinished, a new installation can change the whole feel of the property. Our landscape installation services include rehabs, remodels, remulching, re-rocking, plant updates, full design and reinstallation work, and outdoor improvements that help everything look more polished and welcoming.

You may need irrigation repair if you notice dry patches, soggy spots, broken sprinkler heads, low pressure, overspray, or zones that do not turn on. In Fort Myers, FL, irrigation problems can show up quickly because heat, sandy soil, and heavy rain all affect how water moves through the yard.
A broken sprinkler system can become urgent when it causes flooding, oversaturation, water waste, or fast plant damage during hot weather. Homeowners should schedule irrigation repair quickly if water keeps running, a zone won't shut off, or parts of the landscape start drying out.
Irrigation troubleshooting may include checking sprinkler heads, valves, timers, zones, water pressure, leaks, coverage gaps, and drainage problems. A full irrigation inspection helps find the source of the issue before small watering problems turn into bigger yard headaches.
Irrigation systems can stop working because of broken heads, clogged nozzles, valve issues, controller problems, leaks, low pressure, or damage from lawn equipment. In Fort Myers, FL, oversaturation and drainage problems can also make a system appear to be overwatering, even when the issue stems from how water moves through the property.
Irrigation repair usually makes sense when the issue affects specific sprinkler heads, valves, zones, wiring, or controller settings. A larger replacement may only become necessary when many parts fail at once, or the system no longer performs well after repeated repairs.
