Irrigation Concepts

I first called Nick Waitt, owner of Irrigation Concepts, to get a quote on refurbishing and updating my in-ground irrigation system and to discuss with him some ideas I wanted to understand concerning installation of rain barrels. He was one of three I contacted to have this conversation. One of the three never responded and the other had a representative call me on the phone but did not visit and had no soluition to offer for my rain barrel request. Nick promptly came to my house reviewed my concerns and my system. Upon finding a leak that required fixing he arranged for a colleague who is a licensed plumber, which was required by law, to fix the leak at a very affordable cost and in a responsive manner. He then returned and refurbished my whole system for less than $500 including all parts and labor and including initializing the system. He then submitted a written proposal for three alternatives: 1. a drip irrigation system as described above, 2. installation of rain hogs which would take the place of rain barrels; and 3. installation of a high capacity underground rain collection system. I decided to select the drip irrigation system which he promptly installed at the price quoted in his proposal. He also has agreed to maintain the irrigation systems for a full year at a cost of $300 per year. His rates are at or below others that have been quoted to me, his service is on time and on budget and he is the owner of the service. He has studied horticulture for four years in a technical program and is diligent. I highly recommend him.
