I need to start by saying I bought this house a year an a half ago and had no prior knowledge of sprinkler systems. I went with this company only because I saw their tag in the basement. It turns out that they weren't the main company that did work at this house in the past, so the condition of the system wasn't due to Green Turf. I had a lot of work done this year which is why my cost was so high. What I like about this company is that I always talk to the owner (Mark) when discussing the jobs and he does a great job of explaining the work that will be done. I sense that Green Turf does good honest work and only charges what is needed to stay in business. I have talked about the costs of their service with them. For the spring service, the guy (Steve) working was here for over 2 hours and yet they didn't charge any extra. The backflow preventer wasn't working properly, and I had them come back to install a new one. The prior one was in really bad shape and was of an odd design. So a week or 2 later, Steve came back and installed the new backflow preventer. It took over 2 hours for Steve to install the new backflow preventer but I was charged for 2 hours of labor, which was what I was expecting. The new one is much simpler and of higher quality. It does the job very well. It even has a faucet that I can attach a hose to which is nice. Shortly before or after Steve installed the backflow preventer, he installed a the new Hunter Pro-C controller which I am very happy with. This labor was uneventful. It only took an hour or so.
Description of Work: I used Green Turf for an annual service contract as well as to replace the controller and backflow preventer. The latter 2 items were what made this expensive. 1. Service contract The spring service involves starting up the system and making sure it runs properly. They will replace up to 3 sprinkler heads if they are damaged for an additional $49.50 each. The fall service is for "winterizing" the system which involves blow all of the water out of the pipes before the winter so that the pipes won't freeze. In total for the service contract (including tax), I paid $275 because I got a sprinkler head replaced. 2. Controller replacement My old one needed to be replaced because it wasn't working properly. (Green Turf did not install the old one). I got a Hunter Pro-C unit. The labor was $85 and the total bill came out to $336.02. It works very well. 3. Backflow Preventer replacement My old backflow preventer (not from Green Turf) was in horrible condition and needed to be replaced. The work took over 2 hours and the labor was $170. The entire backlow unit was replaced and the old PVC pipe which was used was replaced with higher quality copper pipe. The quality is much better than the previous unit. In total, this replacement cost $462.29.
