Smarter Control.
Better Water Management.
Modern commercial irrigation controls, connected monitoring, and practical system upgrades for more efficient landscape management.
Upgrade the Way You Manage Irrigation
Older irrigation timers can keep watering on the same schedule even when weather, seasons, and landscape needs change. They may also provide little warning when a valve fails, a line breaks, or water use becomes abnormal.
Koster Irrigation helps commercial property owners, facility teams, municipalities, HOAs, and landscape managers modernize irrigation controls. We evaluate the existing system, recommend compatible technology, install and program the upgrade, and verify every zone before the system is returned to service.
Smart Irrigation Controls & System Upgrades
Smart Controller Upgrades
Replace outdated timers with modern controls that support flexible scheduling, remote access, alerts, and more efficient irrigation management.
Weather-Based Scheduling
Use local weather data and seasonal conditions to adjust irrigation runtimes instead of relying on a fixed schedule year-round.
Flow Monitoring & Alerts
Add compatible flow sensing to identify unusual water use, possible mainline breaks, stuck valves, and other system concerns sooner.
Remote System Access
Give authorized property teams a practical way to review schedules, monitor performance, and manage compatible controllers from connected devices.
Rain & Weather Sensors
Install or replace compatible rain, freeze, soil-moisture, and weather sensors so the system responds better to real site conditions.
Multi-Site Control Solutions
Standardize irrigation management across multiple commercial properties with compatible controls, naming, access, and reporting practices.
Better Visibility, Faster Response, More Efficient Scheduling
A smart controller is most valuable when it is properly matched to the site, professionally programmed, and supported by a dependable irrigation system.
Reduce Avoidable Water Use
Weather-aware programming helps prevent unnecessary watering after rain or during cooler conditions.
Respond to Problems Faster
Compatible alerts and flow data can help property teams identify abnormal operation before damage or water loss grows.
Simplify Property Management
Remote access and clearer scheduling make it easier to manage one commercial property or a larger portfolio.
Improve Long-Term Planning
System data and professional recommendations help prioritize repairs, phased upgrades, and maintenance budgets.
From System Evaluation to Final Programming
Evaluate
Review the existing controller, field wiring, valves, sensors, zone count, water source, and property-management needs.
Recommend

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions from commercial property owners, facility teams, and property managers considering an irrigation control upgrade.
A smart irrigation controller uses connected features, weather information, sensors, or site data to manage irrigation more precisely than a basic fixed timer. Available capabilities depend on the controller, connection method, sensors, and existing system.
Yes. Many existing commercial systems can be upgraded without replacing every sprinkler, valve, or pipe. Koster first evaluates the controller, wiring, zone capacity, sensors, and overall system condition to determine compatibility and the most practical upgrade path.
A properly selected and programmed smart controller can reduce avoidable water use by responding better to weather, seasons, and site conditions. Actual savings depend on the current system, existing waste, landscape needs, water rates, and how the property is managed.
Many modern commercial controllers support secure remote access through a web portal or mobile app. Connectivity, subscriptions, permissions, and available features vary by product and property.
Many systems can integrate with compatible rain, weather, freeze, soil-moisture, or flow sensors. Koster can inspect the site and recommend sensors that match the controller, water source, and operational goals.
Most properly configured controllers continue following their locally stored program if connectivity is interrupted. Remote access, alerts, and weather updates may pause until the connection returns; exact behavior depends on the selected equipment.
Yes. Koster can help commercial owners and property managers evaluate multi-site needs, standardize compatible controls, organize access, and develop a phased upgrade plan for multiple locations.
A straightforward controller replacement may be completed in one service visit. Larger systems, wiring corrections, sensor additions, communication work, and multi-controller properties may require additional time. Koster confirms the scope after evaluation.
Often it will, but compatibility must be verified. Koster checks station capacity, voltage, wiring condition, valve operation, pump or master-valve requirements, and any special system features before recommending equipment.
Koster serves commercial properties in Raleigh, Durham, Wilson, Rocky Mount, Greenville, Goldsboro, Apex, Garner, Clayton, and surrounding Eastern and Central North Carolina communities.
