Services we offer
Underground Sprinkler Installations and Service Landscape Lighting Installation.
We hired Turf Industries to install brand new sprinkler system instead of the old one that was not working for years. Our new system has 14 zones. The work was done in one day. Highly professional and reliable. Excellent quality. The crew was here 15-30 min before the agreed start time and worked without interruptions till the project was completed. On my request, they installed the controller that I bought on my own. In the end of the day, the system was tested and demo to me. Everything worked. Two days later my controller burned and stopped working. I ordered and received a new controller over the mail. Then I called Dean asking for help. As the controller was mine, he did not provide warranty for it. Nevertheless, he sent a crew next day to install the new controller at no charge. The service, quality, promptness have well exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the company.

Dean was great to work with and was very knowledgeable. He came out and presented a quote, then came back to answer additional questions that we had. The crew was prompt and professional. Mary is always pleasant whenever I call. I just wish we would have taken a little more time to discuss placement of the spigots. We were not asked about the placement of the zone boxes and I would have moved one to a more hidden area.
Description of Work: We had an irrigation system installed in our yard, plus a few spigots to water the back over the septic field.

Great. Happy with the work, although I wish they would have consulted me before the placed boxes and spigots. I would have preferred different locations that were less noticeable. We recently had trouble with the rain sensor and since we were still under warranty, they replaced without any issues.

Great! His crew finished the job in 2 days, just as promised and you couldn't even tell they had been trenching. The remarkable part was that they went under our brick driveway and brick entryway and it looks perfect. Woke up the next morning to the beautiful sound of the sprinklers watering our plants. No more hauling hoses! This company is the best!!!
Description of Work: This one was one of the best experiences we have had with a contractor. Dean was fantastic and really knows his business. They installed sprinklers just for the beds surrounding the house and 2 beds in the front of the house.

They installed it late fall last year and turned it off. Over the winter it was unused and then they came and turned on the water again and everything is operating now. They didn't charge to come out and turn it back on last month.

Dean, the owner came out to give us an estimate. He came in the evening to show us how the lighting would look; great to have a visual reference. He offered recommendations but did not push us to buy more lights but I ended up adding a few more. We had several companies offer quotes and his pricing was comparable. We rec'd a discount by doing the lighting and sprinkler system with him and we even got to use an Angie's list discount. The sprinkler system and lighting was installed in one day. We did have a little problem with the timer on the lights but Dean came out right away and fixed the problem. I would recommend them. The only issue was getting on the schedule. The earliest appointment was 6 weeks after we agreed for them to do the work. If you think you want to do this, make sure to schedule asap.

Turf Industries schedule us in 3 weeks ago and said they would be there on the 29th with a full crew to knock out our job in 1 day. When you look at the job plan we gave Dean and his crew I was surprised when they stated 1 day. True to their word they arrived at my home at 8:00 and went over their plan to supply water to the entire yard and beds. After an hour of digging (70% was HAND dug) their plumber arrived and researched the plumbing supply and came to get my opinion. At round noon the plumbing was completed, all of the lines were lain and they were doing wiring. At 2:00 the job foreman came to the door to inform me they were almost done and he wanted to completely demonstrate the system. It was unbelievable, the coverage of the entire lawn and all beds was demonstrated completely. What made our particular installation unique and a bit more complicated was that we have an 8 zone outdoor lighting system, a pool with gas and electric, a pool shed with electric and some trees in the middle of the yard. NOT ONE issue was encountered with the installation. All I can say to close this review out is that we took 4 bids, Dean was NOT the least expensive nor the most expensive, what Turf Industries was to my project was good and accurate in what they said they were going to do and most of all they were extremely interested to make sure I was happy. A GREAT BANG FOR THE BUCK!!! Anyone interested in getting a true non bias opinion/recommendation should contact Dean and Turf Industry's to get my contact information. I am a straight forward person and I call them exactly the way I see them!! Being treated like a valued customer is the way Dean and his company do business. Thanks again Dean and team!

JUST TALKED TO TURF INDUSTRIES THEY WILL BE HERE TOMORROW!!!!!! WE ARE EXCITED!!
Description of Work: Dean came to my home in 2009 and in 2011 both times gave an estimate and we for one reason or another determined that the lawn was a low priority. In April of this year I retired and high on my priority list was to have Dean and Turf Industries install a custom irrigation system for me. I called Dean and actually talked to his wife and said I am finally ready to get my irrigation system done. She took all of the information, asked for another current survey of property and in 2 days had me on the installation list for 5/28/2014! They are very professional and get right to the work. I was told this will be a 1 day job and there will be 6 workers here to complete the job.. MORE TO COME

Fortunately we did find two other very responsive companies one of which did the reconfiguration and who now has our business. I cannot recommend this company even for routine maintenance based on our experience last spring.
Description of Work: When we purchased our house about 3.5 years ago Turf Industries had been doing the sprinkler system seasonal turn on/off for the prior owner so we continued with this service. In the spring of 2013 following the turn on we had a problem with some heads and wanted to redirect others which required a service call. They replaced a head but were not able to make adjustments to correct any of the other issues. Communication with the technician they sent was difficult and he did not seem to be very knowledgeable beyond the basics. Jump ahead to summer 2013... we decided to re-landscape our yard which would then necessitate a fairly significant over hall of our sprinkler system. We obtained 3 quotes for this one of which was from Turf. Dean arrived promptly as scheduled but did not seem interested in having this job. He was very vague about what would be required and although he said he was going to send us a proposal for the work (a job which would be several thousand dollars) we never heard back from him.

We are sorry that you were not happy with our service. When we open a sprinkler system there are times that all the work can not be done in the 1st visit. Our trucks are fully stocked with all the most sprinkler parts, but in the case of your system, we did not do the original installation and the valves were unusual and had to be ordered. When we made the 2nd service call, I sent the service manager out to do your service and did not charge you for all the time he spent servicing you system. We had your system up and running by May 15, 2013 and I did not hear from you after that date with any concerns about adjusting or coverage. I understand you were not happy with our process of estimating future work, but I honestly thought that you were happy with our service up until that point. It is disappointing to us that you did not feel we took that extra step to provide you the kind of service that has you referring us to your friends and neighbors.

The job was completed in one day. The system included a central control station installed in my attached garage and a wireless rain detector which disables the system when there has been enough rain. They warned me that my yard would be torn up during the installation and they were accurate. However the extensive trenching required was completely restored and it was difficult to detect where they had worked. It was amazing to see the crew complete so much work so efficiently. The system included new plumbing inside the house to provide proper water pressure and flow to the outdoor system. That part of the job required significant ingenuity to work around the interference of various other home systems. It was a pleasure to watch the smooth completion of that phase of the work. The crew leader carefully explained and demonstrated the proper operation of all parts of the system and left me with detailed written instructions to improve my understanding. The cost included two years of shutdown and startup service. This Fall's shutdown was completed in a professional and courteous manner.

They were great. They did a first class job. First of all, the guys worked very hard but they took great care to lay out the system properly. You could tell they did. They have done their measurements. The owner of the company was there everyday. It was a 3-day job and it was a pretty big job and he was personally making sure that things were up to his standard. They had a high quality plumber come in to do the work, connecting the lines in. It wasn't just one of their regular guys digging holes. That was very specialized. They went out of their way to let us know what was happening and they cleaned up everyday after they were done. I could not even tell that they had been there. I highly recommend them.

Dean came out to our house and was very personable and knowledgable especially regarding plant care and what was wrong with our current system and the specifics of what his company would do to fix the problems. He told us he was the best in the industry and refered us to other industry leaders like JM, Newman and American National to get other bids. That was the last we heard from him. I called him a few weeks later and he said he has been busy and assured me he would get a bid out to me within a week which never happened. We were told by one of the company's he refered us to get another bid from, that by having us call other company's Dean probably had no intention of working on our "complicated" irrigation system. I was skeptical hearing this from this other company so I contacted Dean again asking him specifically why he was not responding back and if he had any intention of getting back to us or doing the job. To date he has not responded to my phone call or email.

We are sorry for the miscommunication, however we were hesitant to take on your project due to an ongoing issue with the original company that recently installed the sprinkler system that you were not happy with. Had you contacted our company to do the initial install we would have been able to better estimate a new system, rather than try to give you an exact quote to fix another company's mistakes. This is the reason we referred you to other companies as we did not feel confident that we could bring your current system up to standard for a reasonable price after you had already paid the 1st company to do the entire install. Again we are sorry for the miscommunication.

Crew arrived on time. Very professional and extremely easy to work with. Dean, the owner, was also on the job to determine the amount of zones to be sure all areas would be watered properly. Installation went great. Upon completion the foreman on the job was extremely thorough in explaining the operation of the new system and the crew cleaned up when they finished. We have been a customer of this company for 28 years. We had a new system installed due to work performed on our house destroyed the old system. The new system is great and modern technology has made the new sprinkler system easy to operate. I would recommend Turf Industries for all your lawn irrigation needs.

I do not have a record of winterizing your system in 2011. I show Turf Industries opened it that year, but did not close the system. I checked our deposits for fall of 2011 and I did not show a check from you for that service. I was surprised to hear our office was not friendly with you, as I get so many compliments about our office staff, as such I am speculating that you may have us confused with another company. Regardless I am sorry that your perception of our office staff is not positive.

After receiving a few outrageous quotes from other companies, I contacted Turf Industries, and I'm very happy that I did. Dean came out to my house, listened to what I wanted, and clearly explained all of my options. He quoted me a very fair price for the job and explained exactly what he would deliver. The crew he sent out to install the system completed their work in one day. They were polite and respectful. The dug up my yard to install the system, but by the time they left, I could not detect where they had been digging or working. They efficiently installed the system and left everything as it was when they arrived. The crew chief then showed me how to operate the system and demonstrated how each watering zone worked. During installation, Dean stopped by just to make sure the job was going well. I have had a few problems since installation (a stuck sprinkler head and leaky connection), but Turf Industries was quick to send someone out to fix the problem. Overall, I would highly recommend Turf Industries for anyone considering an irrigation system. I felt very comfortable with their experience and personal touch.

They refused to give a written contract to us. They put the work in late, never completed the work to this day!! We are STILL out trees that are dead, missing, we still are waiting for our fountain and stepping stones that we have already been paid for!!!! We paid him $20,000 up front for this project. They gave us a 3 year deal where they would come back and replace anything that needed to be replaced. They have yet to do anything they have promised. Please do not your guard down with this company!! Dean Garnot, the owner, is a liar.

Dean Granat has not been with the company since 2007, the company had 2 divisions, sprinkler and landscape. Mr Granat handled the landscape and Dean Hirsh handled the sprinkler installation divison. The partnership ended in 2007 and we no longer do landscaping or hardscaping. We are sorry for your experience with Mr. Granat, this is an example of why we are no longer in partnership with him. We strive to run a company that has a good reputation and we stand behind our work. We always have a signed contract for every sprinkler system we install and stand behind our written warranties.
