Movers & Shakers

Irrigation Managers launches to solve real irrigation problems for commercial sites nationwide

COEUR d'ALENE — Starting right here in the Pacific Northwest, Irrigation Managers LLC is now open for business, bringing practical help to commercial landscapes that struggle with unreliable systems, high water bills, poor plant health, or just plain hard-to-manage irrigation.

Local founders Jon Peters and Leroy Lee, with over 65 years of combined experience in agronomy, irrigation, monitoring, and tech, built the company to fix what others overlook: matching water delivery to plant needs. Peters has spent more than 33 years optimizing crop and landscape production while helping grow irrigation tech firms from the ground up. Lee adds over 25 years in data handling and commercial irrigation, fine-tuning sites for better performance.

"We monitor every detail - leaks, performance changes, inefficiencies, and we guide on-site teams through needed repairs with clear steps," Peters said. "It's not just about cutting water; it's about reliable systems, healthier plants, and lower maintenance costs. Many clients see 50% or more reduction in water use, but even those not chasing big savings get reliable operation and healthier landscapes."

Irrigation Managers prioritizes plant demand, using site-specific data to deliver water when and how it's needed. Modern tools like automated workflows and AI-driven analysis handle monitoring, alerts, and refinements efficiently, keeping services affordable without cutting corners.

Services include water use analysis to establish baselines, full system setup and programming, proactive 24/7 monitoring, troubleshooting, ongoing optimization, detailed reporting, and training for field crews. Packages are available nationwide tailored to site requirements and controller capabilities.

Irrigation Managers focuses on larger commercial sites: schools, parks, golf courses, hospitals, sports fields, cemeteries, and community associations. "We're the experts here to help with whatever irrigation headache you're facing – whether it's too much water, complex controls, or plants that just aren't thriving," Lee added.

Based in Idaho, Irrigation Managers delivers irrigation management that minimizes water waste in landscapes while improving plant health and system reliability. By combining site-specific data with agronomic principles, the company provides measurable results and practical support for commercial clients across the U.S.
