When it comes to keeping Florida landscapes healthy and thriving, Selim Ramaj, owner of Florida Irrigation Contractor (FIC), knows that every drop counts.

For Selim, irrigation isn't just a business—it's a family legacy. He began working alongside his father in the family business back in 1987, learning the trade from the ground up. After his father's passing in 2011, Selim carried on the tradition and officially launched Florida Irrigation Contractor in 2015. Today, he combines decades of hands-on experience with the same commitment to quality and customer care that inspired him from the beginning.

Before becoming a full-time business owner, Selim proudly served in the Navy in Special Operations. That military background shines through in the way he runs his company—with precision, reliability, and attention to detail. In fact, you'll often find him working right alongside his crew in the field, making sure every irrigation system is installed and serviced to the highest standards.

What sets FIC apart? Selim believes it's simple: quality workmanship, quality parts, and personalized service. His team stocks their service vehicles with the parts they need to complete most repairs on the spot, helping homeowners get their systems back up and running quickly. Whether it's designing a brand-new irrigation system or tailoring a solution to fit a customer's budget, FIC focuses on creating efficient, water-saving systems built for Florida's unique landscape.

His advice for homeowners? Always hire a licensed contractor to maintain your irrigation system. A properly maintained system not only saves water but also protects your landscape investment.

A Sarasota resident since 1985 and a graduate of Sarasota High School, Selim enjoys supporting local restaurants, farmers markets, and hosting backyard cookouts. Giving back is also important to him. As a retired veteran, he remains active in the community by supporting local veterans' organizations and the VFW.

"Being part of the community is important to me," he says. "I want people to know who they're doing business with."

Whether you need a simple repair or a complete irrigation system, Florida Irrigation Contractor is ready to help keep your yard looking its best—efficiently, professionally, and with a smile.
