Water-efficient irrigation designed for Maui County's outdoor water restrictions — keeping South Maui landscapes healthy without waste.
Water in South Maui is a constrained resource with real regulatory consequences. Maui County's outdoor watering restrictions — enforced more aggressively during drought periods that have become more frequent in recent years — set specific days, times, and duration limits for landscape irrigation. Properties found violating these restrictions face escalating fines, and vacation-rental operators face additional exposure if a guest or property manager inadvertently runs an irrigation system outside permitted windows.
Smart irrigation controllers solve this problem by removing human scheduling from the equation. Weather-based "ET" controllers (evapotranspiration) pull real-time and forecast weather data to calculate exactly how much water your landscape needs on any given day — and automatically skip or reduce watering cycles when rainfall is present or forecasted. On a Wailea property with mature landscaping, smart controllers consistently reduce water consumption by 30–50% compared to conventional timer-based systems, while also keeping plants healthier by avoiding both overwatering and drought stress cycles.
For absentee owners and vacation-rental operators, the remote management capability of modern smart irrigation systems is equally valuable. Rachio, Hunter Hydrawise, and similar platforms let you monitor and adjust your system from anywhere — receiving alerts for broken heads, pressure anomalies, or schedule overrides. Property managers can access the same system from their phones. You'll know exactly what the irrigation is doing even when you're on the mainland.
We design systems specific to your plant material, water pressure, lot configuration, and the particular water restrictions in effect for your Wailea or Makena address. Drip irrigation for planting beds, rotor or spray heads for turf areas, and dedicated zones for any specialty planting are all designed as an integrated system rather than a collection of independent zones. We also offer audit and retrofit services for existing irrigation systems that are wasting water or operating outside current code.
We assess your current water pressure, meter size, existing irrigation if any, and plant material zones before designing the system.
A zoned irrigation plan is produced, covering head type, placement, pipe sizing, and controller location.
Irrigation mainline and lateral lines are trenched, laid, and connected to the water supply. All connections are pressure-tested before burial.
Sprinkler heads, rotor heads, and drip emitters are installed and adjusted for optimal coverage and efficiency.
Smart controller is installed, Wi-Fi connected, and programmed with your local watering restrictions and plant zones. You receive app access and a walkthrough.
