I hired them to do a few of my rentals and it was good. I hired them last fall and would not hire them again. Did explain the system, didn’t put weed barrier down when they laid the mulch and rock. They said since we are selling it , it wouldn’t matter.. Sprinkler heads sunk down and had to raise them. They did say they would fix the mulch (weed barrier) back in May. Haven’t Heard from them.

New system design and install
Description of Work: After years of dragging the hose around my yard, we decided to do something about it and get a sprinkler system installed. I had a few different companies come over and give me a quote, Preferred Sprinklers was one of them. Sam (the owner) came over and spent some time walking the yard and asking questions about what we were looking for. He gave us a great quote and we called an hour later to schedule the install. They said it would be a 2-3 weeks before they could do the install (which was no problem) and so we scheduled it. A week went by and we received a call on Monday saying that a job they were supposed to do on Friday had to get pushed and asked if we would like that spot, uh...yes! They took care of calling 811 to have someone come over and mark our utilities for us. Install Day: They were set to arrive at about 8am, I was in the garage at about 7:30am moving some stuff around so they would have room to work without having to step over anything. I was about finished and turned around and low and behold the trucks started rolling in...early. I swear they had about 8 guys ready to work with Sam leading the charge! They went to work immediately. The clock struck 8am and dirt was flyin’, they use a pipe pulling machine instead of a trencher to minimize the lawn damage, it was impressive to watch. I have a small front lawn (1 zone, 4 heads), and they had the pipes pulled, heads on, and doing the zone test with water all before 9am. WOW. When it was all said and done, they had my front (1 zone) and back yard (5 zones) complete by 12pm. They went through on how to use the WIFI controller (manage everything from the Rain Bird app), rain sensor, and they even hooked up our drip system for our garden to the new sprinkler system. VERY impressed with their work and they were all around great guys. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. They will be coming back in the fall to do the blow-out. Great price, great workmanship, great service. GREAT company. Thanks again.

Easy to get appointment. Showed up on time and was able to fix the problem right away. Checked all the other sprinkler heads and fix a few. Offered recommendations and did not overcharge. Very nice experience.

We had several company's come out and give us an estimate to replace the stop and waste valve. They price was all over the place. A lot of company's were just too busy to do the work. I believe they were smaller businesses taking on too many customers. We couldn't find anyone in the spring so we let it go all summer. Frustrated with trying to water the lawn with the watering restrictions we decided to get it done. Tom and a plumber came out the week after we called. My husband and a friend had already dug down 4 feet to find the valve. But it wasn't nearly wide enough for a body to get in and do the work. Done in one day and all my dirt that sat in the driveway all summer was finally back where it belonged. They had to run the sprinklers of course to make sure it worked. I got a call from the office to set up a time to blow out the sprinklers and was told it would be something like $79. I was shocked to think after spending $1165.00 that they would charge me to do that. The only reason they had to blow out the sprinklers was because they needed to make sure the valve worked. The sprinklers were blown out already from the year before. The lady who called had me call Tom who did the job. He did take it off the bill but I'm sure only to make me happy. Thank you Tom. We won't know ourselves how everything works until next year but I'm very confident we won't have any problems. We will be calling them in the spring to check our sprinkler heads. I'm happy to have found a company that I feel I can trust to do the job they say they will do. We will absolutely use them again!

We had other providers and decided to try Preferred Sprinklers. They were professional from the get go! We were late in turning on our system and was able to make an appoinment within a few days. They showed up well within their suggest two hour time frame! Nice - I love when that happens! He was professional and even noticed a two heads had damage. He quickly replaced the heads and we were good to go! The price was affordable and reasonable for the service provided. I will be using them again this fall.

I needed a lawn sprinkler at a rental property I recently purchased. As I always do I got estimates from 3 lawn sprinkler companies , Preferred came in with the lowest bid. They arrived early on the day I scheduled the work. The installation crew was professional and completed the job that day. Before leaving they walked me through how to operate the system and did a zone by zone review to ensure I was completely satisfied with coverage. I have several rental properties and do an occasional flip. I've had them do repairs, winterize systems, and turn-ons in the spring. They've always showed up for appointments and their workmanship has always been top notch. If you are planning to install a lawn sprinkler they come with my highest recommendation. I've used other companies. In my opinion Preferred Sprinklers is the best in the metro area.

I blew out my sprinklers for 15 years. I rented out my house and decided to hire a professional. It was a mistake to hire this company. They blew out my sprinkler as promised, but did not note that the line was still under pressure. Apparently there was a small leak and the valve needed to be closed tighter. The valve may have been leaking slightly. In any case, I trusted that they would notify me of any issue. Since some pressure remained on the line and water remained in the pipe, it froze and then there was a huge problem. House was not occupied by the renters at the time and the pipe broke. You guessed it, water in the basement and a big repair bill. The owner offered to pay for something but when the time came I was sent to their insurance company and they said the company was not responsible. I would not trust them or recommend their service.
