Hires them to install outdoor lights and they cut the electrical lines for my septic tank. As I write this review, I have sewage flooding my basement and Dan Askelson says no one can come repair their error for two weeks. Terrible installation and even worse customer service.

Response from American National Sprinkler & Lighting
Hi [Member Name Removed], first of all we are very sorry for the experience. Obviously not how we want our clients to feel. We always call JULIE to mark utilities for all installs so we do not cut your public utility lines. Per the contract you signed, all private lines (sump pump, septic, pool etc) must be marked for us. This line was not marked therefore there was no way we could have known to avoid it. The contract also states ANSL will not accept any financial responsibility if we cut a private line, yet when you called we said you could hire your electrician to fix this and we would take care of the bill. Dave is meeting with you on Monday to find the best solution to get this problem solved and we hope to change your opinion on ANSL after we come together for a solution.

This is the second home that we have had American National install our sprinkler system and we have been extremely happy. They are a top notch company and handled our job with professionalism from the time they quoted through installation, taking time to understand the yard and what will provide the best results for each area. They offer great support to help owners get comfortable with using the system as well. We highly recommend their work and maintenance!

Everything went extremely well. Laury was great to work with. Questions directed to him were answered quickly. Installation team was very professional and courteous. Follow-up instructions for working the system through the iPhone app by Simon was also excellent. Project inspected by Village of Buffalo Grove (following installation) passed first time with no issues.

The installation of our new home’s sprinkler system in 1990 was flawless. After the installation American National Sprinkler turned our system on in the spring, drained & shut down in the fall, and serviced our system for 30 years. Pricing was always fair. I never felt like they were trying to overcharge. Their service employees were always professional, courteous, and prompt. Customer service was the same and helpful. Our lawn always looked GREAT. Friends, and family always asked why - my response was fertilizing but mostly due to my AMERICAN NATIONAL sprinkler system.

Hi [Member Name Removed], i'm sorry but it is company policy to not take on systems we did not install ourselves. It becomes inefficient to service them.

Can't say enough good things about Am National. We installed our in ground system over 12 years ago and it is still going strong! Am National has been wonderful to work with. I recommended them to my neighbor last year and she also raves about the service and product. Overall the team is professional and communicative. When they open the system the foreman always lets me know the status of all the sprinkler heads and shows me any problems. He then discusses options and performs whatever work needs to be done. The workers set your system to where you had set last year and work with you if you need any changes. Workers do enter your home to open and close the system but always wear booties and never leave any kind of mess or anything behind. I did have an issue once with a line leaking underground due to a tree removal and the company sent someone out right away to evaluate. It turned out there was no leak. They were very thorough and explained everything.

Hi [Member Name Removed], I am sorry for the inconvenience, but it is a company policy that we do not take on irrigation systems we did not install ourselves. There are a lot of compatibility issues for us when we take on other systems due to the fact they use completely different parts and because of that maintaining/servicing these systems becomes extremely inefficient. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

I have to respect a company that does a great job and has great reviews and will not risk their reputation by taking on new customers. That said, I was looking for someone to quote lighting and irrigation service as a new person to the area. I should have read other negative review that would have let me know they are no longer taking on irrigation customers. Hopefully this will review will help others avoid the same mistake.

Our process for when someone calls to service a system is to refer that person out to a reliable company in their area, so while we could not do the work we pointed you in the right direction to someone who could. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

The work was performed promptly and accurately. The systems were installed in 2008 and I use them every year for maintenance as well as opening and closing the sprinkler system. All of their employees have been knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I would heartily recommend them.

Our beautiful old trees never looked so stately as now, within the glow of their new “nightlights!”

Companies that aren't open to new customers/business shouldn't be allowed on Angie's List.
Description of Work: I have contacted this company twice trying to move my irrigation service to them. The first time was after seeing them at a neighbor's house. Most recently (in October 2017) I noticed their Angie's List listing and called them again. This company does not take new business unless they installed the irrigation system. When I told them they did not install our system, the person who answers the phone acted like my call is big inconvenience. I asked for other suggestions and got 2, then realized I'd had this same conversation several years ago and did use one of their suggestions, and it was a terrible experience.

Hi [Member Name Removed], i'm very sorry for your unpleasant experience with us but it is a company policy that we do not take on systems we did not install ourselves. Whenever someone calls and we can not take on their system we always refer them out to a company that does work in that specific area, hence why the conversation was similar from two years ago. I again apologize for your experience and if there is any other issues we can help you with please don't hesitate to call us.

It was like magic! We have a beautiful garden, and they managed to install everything without disturbing our sidewalk, brick patio, or the garden. They cleaned up so well that you couldn't tell anything had been done. Lauren, the owner, has been fabulous to work with! There were a few small tweeks, and they came back without charging and corrected everything. The employees were wonderful to work with.

Amazing how outdoor lighting can completely change the curb appearance of the house. My up-lit serviceberry trees outside my living room looked stunning when in full-bloom. The equipment is top-quality, the salesman is on-time & professional and the installers were efficient and knew what they were doing. So impressed.
