Grading and Drainage
We regrade yards and install French drains, swales, catch basins and drainage pipe with grates. Each fix gives rainwater a path off the lawn and away from your house.

Irrigation repair starts with finding out why part of the yard is dry or soggy. Then we fix what we find: broken heads, cracked pipe, valves that stick and controllers that quit. We also install new irrigation systems for any size yard, with zones for the lawn and the beds.
GBS Sod and Landscape is based in Ormond Beach and works for homeowners across Volusia and Flagler counties. When we handle your sod installation in Ormond Beach, the sprinklers get fixed or added first. Call or text (386) 238-9215, and we will look at the system and put your free quote in writing.

Sprinkler repair often starts with a brown strip in a green lawn, or a corner that stays soggy. UF/IFAS notes that heads can clog or get knocked off center, and that lines can leak. Grass that needs water folds its blades in half and turns blue-gray.
We turn on each zone and watch every head run. The St. Johns River Water Management District lets a zone run any time for repairs. The limit is 20 minutes per hour per zone. Then we fix the broken part and run the zone again.
UF/IFAS says sprinklers should put their water on the grass, so we turn back any head that sprays the driveway. Water that stands after a hard rain, with the sprinklers off, points to the ground itself. That calls for grading and drainage work, which we also do.
A sprinkler installation starts with a plan for the zones. Each zone waters one part of the yard, and UF/IFAS says most lawns have four or more. The lawn and the planting beds get separate zones, since grass and bed plants need different amounts of water. Spray heads and rotors go on separate zones too, as the UF/IFAS Florida-Friendly Landscaping checklist calls for.
Before a trench is dug, we call Sunshine 811 so the utilities mark their lines. Utilities mark only the lines they own, so old sprinkler pipe and landscape lighting cable stay unmarked. Show us where yours run before the work starts.
On a new lawn, the system goes in before the sod, as UF/IFAS advises. The trenches are filled and the ground graded smooth before the sod goes down. Laying the sod yourself? Our sod delivery brings fresh-cut pallets to your home.
Ormond Beach homes on city water or a well follow the St. Johns River Water Management District schedule. From the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March, homes water one day a week. Odd addresses and homes with no address water on Saturday, and even addresses water on Sunday. In daylight saving time, homes get two days: Wednesday and Saturday for odd addresses, Thursday and Sunday for even.
Water only before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m., and for no more than one hour per zone. NOAA normals for Daytona Beach make April the driest month, and June to September the wettest stretch. A timer left on one setting all year usually overwaters, UF/IFAS notes, so we can reset yours for the season.
Homes on the city's reclaimed water follow a separate reuse schedule that the city posts. In a water shortage, the District can tighten its rules. A 2026 order cut Flagler County towns like Palm Coast to one watering day a week, but left Volusia out. That order also barred watering from eight in the morning to six in the evening and shortened the new sod allowance.

The old lawn or the worn-out beds come out first. Then we grade the ground, and pavers get a compacted base.
We lay the new sod and water it in, or set the pavers and sweep in the joint sand. Then water new sod every morning for its first two weeks.

My experience was excellent. Cesar was punctual and did an outstanding job installing a stone retaining wall in the front of my house. He completed the job in a very professional manner. He takes pride in his work and the finished product is beautiful. I would recommend Cesar and GBS Sod and Landscape to anyone who needs a retaining wall installed.
Caesar and Hugo did an awesome job in getting my front and backyard looking beautiful. They stripped my backyard and my front yard, put in new irrigation, border paving, weed block, seashell, along with new sod. My beach house now looks like something that belongs in a magazine. I can’t thank them enough for what they have done for me. GBS sod landscaping was fair priced, worked on time, and completed my job in a very quick time. I highly recommend GBS Sod and Landscaping for all your yard needs.
