Is there something different down there in FL?
Any nay sayers on donuts can be who you call upon to come out and find your sprinkler heads in about 2 months this summer. ST Augustine smothers them. Donuts get covered in time if you don't trim them but at least you increase the size of the head for location. Your lawn service will most likely NOT trim them. Mine get trimed every week. Why? I do them.

Your neighbors card playing group or whatever social events will drive on them if you live in a Villa. Will they give a crap about your sprinkler head while they park on it? Nope. A broken donut saved your head.

FL is a whole different animal.

Forget about what you did up north - in every way.
