Water is tricky here. Sand drains fast. Summer storms can flood. Wind shifts spray. If zones are wrong, you pay more and still have brown spots or fungus. Mako Contractors designs and installs irrigation that matches your lawn, beds, soil, and sun.
As a local Landscaper, we size zones, pick heads, and set schedules so plants get what they need without wasting water.
We design irrigation for our coastal conditions—sandy soil, heat, wind, and sudden storms. Lawns get even rotor coverage; beds get efficient drip. We also retrofit older systems, add smart controllers, and fix leaks or weak zones. Explore the options below to see which setup fits your yard.
We plan zones for turf and beds, size pipe for pressure, and use heads and nozzles that fit your layout. Rotors cover lawns. Sprays or multi-stream nozzles cover small turf. Drip lines feed beds. Smart controllers help you adjust for season, rain, and wind. We map valves and leave you a clear diagram for easy care.
Many yards in Freeport, 30A, and Niceville have older systems that miss corners or overspray drives. We replace heads, add valves, convert beds to drip, and add rain or soil sensors. Coverage gets better, bills go down, and plants look healthier.
Drip puts water at the root and reduces loss from wind. Mulch hides lines and keeps moisture in. For coastal beds with salt spray and sun, drip helps plants root fast and hold color with less stress.

We fix leaks, adjust arcs, swap clogged nozzles, and reset schedules after landscape changes. Seasonal checks before peak heat catch issues early and protect your turf investment. If you are adding new landscape or hardscaping, we set sleeves now so you avoid cuts later.
Sandy soils dry fast but can drown during storms. Shade needs less water than full sun. Beds with native plants need less than lush lawns. We balance all this. The goal is even coverage, strong roots, and no runoff on hardscape. That saves money and keeps the yard healthier.
We work with concrete pavers, porcelain options, natural stone, and rock accents. Colors and textures are picked to fit coastal light and heat. Some surfaces get hot in direct sun; we offer cooler-feeling options and discuss shade where needed. If you like a natural look, we pair stone with native plants for a simple, clean finish. If you prefer modern lines, we use large-format pavers with tight joints and crisp edges. For walls, we match block style and cap depth to nearby architecture and HOA rules in Hammock Bay, Point Washington, and surrounding communities.
A hardscape works best when it fits the rest of the landscape. We align patio edges to lawn shapes, size paths for easy mowing, and protect beds with edging that holds mulch during heavy rain. We add sleeves under patios for future lighting, gas, or water so you will not need to cut later. If irrigation is present, we adjust heads and add drip in beds to stop overspray on pavers. If you are building new, we plan landscape installation and irrigation at the same time to save time and cost.
