I put off getting an irrigation system for years because it was all very confusing to me and I didn’t want to make a mistake with choosing a shoddy irrigation system. Kaitlyn quickly made things easy to understand and presented me with a state of the art watering system. Kaitlyn and her team were everything that I wanted and more! Her expertise in landscaping and irrigation is superior and that is why I chose Auto Rain. Their customer service after the irrigation was installed has continued to be excellent and I feel confident that I have partnered up with a great company to continue in the maintenance of our irrigation system for years to come!

Excellent work. Kaitlyn and her crew put in a sprinkler system for our new landscape project that included parkways, yard and a large number of plantings. She put in the system before the plantings were done and made a number of adjustments after the landscaping to ensure everything was watered appropriately. It works well and is extremely easy to use. I highly recommend Autorain and will use them again as our landscaping grows into other areas of our yard.

Kathlyn and her crew did a fantastic job on installing the sprinkler system. She also came and personally drew a plan on my PLAT of where all the hoses and sprinkler heads were buried. The sprinkler runs using a smart app designed to automate the process while saving water when the weather forecast calls for rain. The system runs seamlessly and quietly at night. My lawn was completely transformed from nearly dead to lush green. I would hire Auto Rain again without hesitation.

Katlyn and her Auto-Rain team were nothing but wonderful to deal with! I wish all contractors work like her and her company! I initially wanted to complete the irrigation system on my entire lawn but due to other circumstances I had to decrease my budget. Mind you, Auto-Rain's estimate was the best price of all my estimates! Katlyn worked with me and I decided that my budget could only afford the front lawn area. I also referred my neighbor to Auto-Rain so we ended up doing our installations together. Next year, I will definitely have Auto-Rain back to finish up the rest of my lawn! Thank you Katlyn and entire Auto-Rain team!

Katlyn (owner) gave me a quote in the fall for a complete sprinkler system for my 1.4 acre yard at a reasonable price with a great warranty. I received a quote that was much less than American Sprinkler and a much better and it was for a more technically up-to-date system using a wifi controller than American Sprinkler had quoted me. This very cool, high tech system can be controlled by my phone and is very easy to use. I wanted it installed in the spring. When early spring came Katlyn contacted me to start the work, which was great. Her crew was very nice and respectful, and did their best to please me with whatever came up. They all were very knowledgeable and very professional. They finished the job in a few days and I was up and going even before the system was really needed, since it was early spring. You can't ask for more than that. Also they came back and changed 3 sprinkler heads as I requested to spray farther into the plant beds. Also, Katlyn agreed to come back and put another head in after I replaced a bunch of big bushes that were blocking what would have been a useless head before the bushes were replaced. This hasn't been done but I'm sure it will be soon. I can't say enough about what a great experience it was. Definitely recommend them.

Katlyn and her crew are FIVE STAR irrigation specialists! They installed a curtain drain with mesh and gravel to pipe water out from the bottom of my hill, finally solving a problem that we had for years. Other companies TRIED to fix it and failed, but she DID fix it. This company literally saved my backyard. Auto Rain is 5 star all the way. Thank you so much!

Called Auto Rain to request service. They were able to schedule the next day. Hugo arrived as scheduled. Work was performed quickly and was professional done. He identified the source of the leak and corrected the problem. The job was explained to me every step of the way. If you need a company to work on or maintain your sprinkler system use this company. They also install systems. I will use them again.

Auto Rain personnel were very attentive to answer all questions and spend the time needed to review my needs/requirements and develop a plan to address those needs. They visited my property on three occasions when I had more questions and to further develop specifics. Installation was expertly done and the follow up was the next day to make sure all heads were working properly and the wireless controller was programmed. Price was slightly more than the competition, but only because it included a self-draining system.

Two previous companies could not diagnose the problem or recommended unnecessary testing and replacement. Katlyn Abraham and Christa Velander met us at the specified time, quickly diagnosed the problems, including broken wiring and supply lines, and repaired what others failed to do. They were fast, efficient and knew what they were doing. They were easy to work with, happy to answer questions and left information with us to look at upgrading a 12 year-old system. These ladies are fantastic! Guess who gets to keep our sprinkler system running in the future?!

We’ve had the opportunity to work with Auto-Rain for the past couple of years on both residential and commercial projects, including our own home. Both Katlyn and Christa have proven to be knowledgeable, competent, responsive and professional in all aspects of their business. Recommendations from them were made to upgrade our manual irrigation controllers to much more updated and technologically advanced controllers that has resulted in literally thousands of dollars in annual water savings for our home and community. All work is completed in a timely manner and with satisfactory results, from opening and closing irrigation systems to brainstorming solutions when problems arise.

Auto-rain is always reliable, prompt, and knowledgeable. They stand behind their work and their pricing is fair. They keep our sprinkler system running smoothly and hassle-free. Since the completion of the drainage work three years ago, we no longer have issues with excess water in our yard. We would certainly recommend Auto-Rain.
Description of Work: Auto-Rain has installed and maintained our irrigation system in two different home for over 15 years. They also did drainage work in our front and back yards, requiring a portion of our paver driveway to be removed and reinstalled.

All went well. Christa was very flexible. Was responsive when we needed adjustments and was patient when training me on Skydrop.
Description of Work: Turned on, maintained, and shutoff our irrigation system. We purchased our eight year home with an irrigation system. It was not properly maintained over the years so much work had to be done to insure it worked correctly and covered the property completely. Heads had to be move and raised to clear the foliage. We also upgraded our system and installed Skydrop. Love the system as it determines when an area should be watered and not by a predetermined schedule.

All went well. As a purchaser of an 8 year old home we had to locate all the heads and lines and align them to get the best use and maximum coverage. Christa came out when called and gladly adjusted things. Always willing to do what needed done to have a happy custsomer.
Description of Work: Started up and shut down our entire sprinkler system. Identified many issues from the previous company, repaired them, realigned sprinkler heads and managed the system all summer. Installed Skydrop which gave us the flexibility to manage our system remotely. So much better than the previous system.
