About us

Hi. I'm Gabe Berardi. Since 1998, Berardi Irrigation has been installing and servicing irrigation systems for commercial, residential, and golf course applications. Installation is a major part of our business but it’s not everything. Berardi Irrigation has a strong focus on personal service, water consumption, reliability, and superior design. After the appointment for a free estimate has been set, Gabe will personally walk your property, designing a system which will best fit your yard’s needs. Gabe will also describe how he arrived at the personal quote which is delivered on site. He will also be happy to explain exactly what you are getting and address any questions or concerns you may have. Gabe may even suggest the “separate meter option” which is allowed in some towns and can save you money on water in the long run.

You can get the spring/fall cleanup for a couple of bucks cheaper (I believe), but we continue to use them because they are very responsive, on time, and friendly. They also installed are sprinkler system. Their price was very competitive and they did a good job with the installation and design. I'm a happy customer 😀

Called in Mid October for sprinkler winterization and scheduled the work on Nov 8th which was kind of late in season. Then nobody showed up on Nov 8th and no phone call or email to notify me. I called on Nov 11th and provider gave me all kinds of excuse. Finally the work was done on Nov 12th. The work has always been done properly, but I feel they always have issues with schedules.

Hi, I'm sorry your upset for this charge but cannot come back out for free three months later. It really is a good idea to try to get familiar with your controller for small adjustments. What would happen if all 3000 customers we have asked us to do this?? Thank you and sorry again

Berardi was going to give me a quote during our spring turn on services. The technician that was going to leave the quote in our mail box did not and then was involved in an accident. After a number of emails and speaking to the owner someone was going to come back and get me the quote. To this day no such luck.

Excellent job; outstanding vendor from very cordial and friendly office staff to crew performing the installation, I highly recommend Gabe Berardi's firm. The contractor arrived on schedule, the crew was extremely professional and respectful of my property during the installation. Explained in detail how to operate the system and answered all questions fully. It was very evident that Gabe and team have a depth of experience that is customer-oriented and determined to exceed expectations. I am very satisfied with the job and will continue to use Berardi Irrigation for all my service requirements.

After giving us a verbal quote for the work which seemed reasonable given the amount of work involved, we scheduled it and they came back three weeks later and did the work. They gave us a time range and were actually early for the appointment, did a good job doing the work, and did minimal damage to the lawn. The guys that did the work were very knowledgeable and were very easy to work with. I would use them again.

Complete and utter failure. I never received the written estimate. Nevertheless, based on years of experience, took Gabe at his word. I kept them informed by telephone re: scheduling as our project progressed. So I was SHOCKED when I called and gave him a week's notice that we were ready to irrigate the new lawn and he casually told me that he couldn't get here for 3 weeks. Everything was waiting on him, the seed could not be spread, hot summer days were upon us, and the front yard landscaping was turning brown for lack of water. When I expressed how upset I was, he said he would try to at least schedule someone to come out and get the front yard going, and then come back 2 or 3 weeks later to add on the backyard irrigation. He promised to figure that out and get right back to me. He never called me back and I have not heard from him since. Ironically, the next day a Berardi truck was in a neighbor's driveway. They were literally 4 houses away. Bottom line, after 10 years as a customer, we were angry to be treated this way & were left in a bad place, scrambling on very short notice, mid-project, to find an irrigation professional to fit the job into their busy season. He screwed up our landscaper's work schedule as well. This experience was completely unacceptable and we will never recommend or consider using him again. We were fortunate to have found another irrigation contractor who came in with very little notice, saved our front lawn, and irrigated the new backyard where grass is now growing & our project is complete. Update: On Monday 6/22, after my review was posted, I received a phone call from Gabe Berardi. He was apologetic that things had turned out so badly. Nothing could be done at this point, but I appreciated the call.
Description of Work: We have used Berardi for 10 years to do the seasonal tune ups on our system. They always did a good job but the scheduling was dicey - wouldn't always show up when scheduled, etc., and they were more expensive than others. But the quality of the work was always good so we continued to use them. Last year we moved into a new house in the same town. The front yard is finished with a lawn, mature landscape & irrigation, but backward was overgrown woods. Our project was to to clear the trees / brush, fix grade, install loam, irrigation, and hydroseed the backyard. We lined up the landscaping work, and, about 4 weeks ahead of the project's planned start contacted Berardi to discuss adding the backyard irrigation onto our existing system. Our entire irrigation system had to be shut down due to the excavation work being done on site. Once the grading was done we needed him to put things back together, ASAP, and get the water running again. That is why I had taken such pains to use someone I trusted, and to ensure that he would be available when we needed him. Gabe Berardi came to our home to discuss the project and assess what was needed. He promised to send a written estimate and assured me that his crew would be available to do the work within our scheduled time frame. The cost of tuning up our front yard system, which they did right after our initial meeting, was $300. Estimated cost for adding onto the existing system I would say was about $7500-$9000 (based on another provider's quote for the job).

Response from Berardi Irrigation
[member name removed], Unprofessional, unreliable, untrustworthy? I'm sorry and I know we couldn't get to your project right when you needed us to but to use my company for a DECADE then use those words just doesn't make sense and to be honest is quite hurtful Those are words you use when a contractor takes a deposit and never shows up again, not a company that serviced you for 10 years. The Spring time is a race against the clock and I have to unfortunately work on a first come first serve basis. Our schedule fills up very quickly, we work as fast as we can while keeping the same quality. I could hire and use three times the employees in the Spring then lay employees off in August but I don't work that way. I keep my employees through thick and thin which I believe is fair. With that being said I don't have 10 unsupervised crews doing shoddy work just to get it done. I am present on 95% of installs with my crew who are excellent people and workers who have been with me a long time and really know how to install irrigation systems. My point is that I am sorry I made you wait but we can only do what we can do. As far as the price, I was never supposed to send you a proposal. If you recall our conversation in your back yard near the patio, because you have been a customer for such a long time I was going to give you my contractor pricing and only charge you per zone. This is the best pricing I can give and was doing this because I appreciate your business. I know you said we were 4 houses away so did you really think we were trying to avoid you? This is not how I run my business. The office people are taking over 150 calls per day and scheduling them. It probably never crossed there mind and besides I thought your front yard was working because I had my tech come out shortly after our meeting. [member name removed] the Spring is very chaotic in the irrigation business. We maintain about 3,000 customers and the grass growing season is a very small window. We do the very best we can and I am sorry I messed up your schedule, It was not my intention. In your last paragraph above you said you were trying to warn others. Take a look at all my other reviews, am I truly a company that one has to warned about? You also said that I don't care one way or the other. That statement is completely false. I think you can now gather that this really bothers me and that I do feel really bad that you feel this way. I would not be on Angie's list if I did not appreciate customer feedback We would love to continue servicing your system if you would allow us to. Thank you and sorry again, Gabe Berardi

I have to give Berardi Irrigation credit. After a few communication issues, we had a very productive conversation regarding our service. There were questions about the work, but the owner got back to me, explained his perspective, and made it better by refunding my money. I'm happy to report that my initial repression was incorrect, and I'd go so far as to say that I'd use them again. A resounding "A" for making an formally unhappy customer feel much better about our interactions.

They don't give us a specific time - just a time window, which I don't like. They are also expensive, but they're always there when we call with a question.

Response from Berardi Irrigation
Hi [member name removed], Thank you for your review. Sorry for not being able to give you an exact time for our appointments. Given the amount of service calls we do in one day and not knowing exactly how long each one takes, we have to give a window. If we gave an exact time it would be very hard to meet it. As far as pricing we are competitive given we are fully insured and carry workman's compensation should there be an accident on your property. We have been charging you and other customers with your amount of zones $80 since we started doing business in 1998. I don't see us having to price increase any time soon also. Thank you for your 12 years of commitment to my company it is very much appreciated. We will do our very best in the future to continue to keep you and our other customers happy. Thank you, Gabe Berardi

Berardi Irrigation performed a very professional installation of a complete irrigation system. More important to me was these aspects of working with Gabe and his team: 1) Gabe provided me some very valuable information to get started with my sprinkler system. He educated me on what is needed, what to expect, and what I needed to do vs, what he would do. 2) Gabe provided me references for a well drilling company he worked with that I contacted and eventually contracted to drill the well. This reference was extremely valuable information to get me working with the right vendor. 3) The Berardi Irrigation staff was very courteous and helpful as they installed my sprinkler system. They took the time to answer all my questions. They installed the sprinkler system and left the lawn in excellent shape. Overall, this was an excellent experience. Especially for someone who needed guidance on how to proceed on this front.
Description of Work: Berardi Irrigation was hired to install a sprinkler system. When contacted, Gabe came right out, surveyed my property, and provided a very good quote and stuck to it for the installation.

The entire process went well. Gabe Berardi came out in early December and provided me a quote then. I called Berardi Irrigation back in early May 2014 and informed them that I was ready to accept their quote. I was also working with a landscaper to do some yard work so there was some coordinating involved but it all went smoothly. Berardi installed a 5 zone, 25 sprinkler heads Hunter system. 100% of my lawn is covered and Gabe showed me how to use the control panel. They also put me in touch with a plumber that they recommend to install the backflow preventer and a reduction meter (whom I paid $650 separately from the price above). I was very happy with this project from start to finish and I would highly recommend using Berardi Irrigation.
