Long Beach, NY
Long Beach is an oceanfront city built on a barrier island on Nassau County’s South Shore, known for its boardwalk and dense, walkable neighborhoods. McCormack Irrigation has provided lawn sprinkler installation, seasonal turn on and winterizing service, sprinkler repair, backflow testing, landscape lighting, and commercial snow removal to homeowners and businesses throughout the city since 2001.
Long Beach’s barrier island setting creates property conditions unlike almost anywhere else in our service area. Sandy, fast draining soil, a high water table, and constant salt air off the Atlantic all affect how a sprinkler system should be designed, installed, and maintained here, and lot sizes tend to be smaller and more tightly packed than in many of the towns further inland. Our team has adapted its approach to these barrier island conditions for more than two decades.
As a family owned and operated company, every job we complete in Long Beach is handled by our own trained, uniformed employees rather than subcontractors, so the same standard of accountability applies to every property on the island, regardless of size.

Designing for Life on a Barrier Island
Long Beach presents a different set of conditions than almost any other part of our service area, and our approach reflects that. Constant salt air off the Atlantic accelerates corrosion on exposed metal components, so equipment selection and maintenance schedules for Long Beach properties are built around this reality rather than treated as an afterthought. The island’s high water table and sandy soil mean drainage rarely presents the same challenges we see on denser, inland properties, but it does affect how zones are timed to avoid overwatering already saturated ground. Long Beach’s dense, closely built neighborhoods, a legacy of its history as a resort community, also mean many properties here have smaller yards than in surrounding suburban towns, and our technicians are experienced designing efficient, well placed systems that make the most of that limited space rather than defaulting to a layout built for larger suburban lots. Because winter storms can bring both freezing temperatures and coastal flooding to the island, our winterizing process for Long Beach properties pays particular attention to exposed plumbing and backflow devices that face both risks at once.
