In 2014, Bob and crew set up 4 sprinkler zones and even included the flower garden section. He checks in before the fall to shut down the system and he just came last week to turn the system on for the season. Bob reviewed in detail the control panel with me and completely understood the recommendation from my landscaper (water longer period less frequently to encourage deep roots). I really liked Bob's responsiveness and his patience in explaining and teaching.

Another company had originally quoted me "a couple hundred dollars." Then, when it was time to actually do the job, they tried to talk me out of it and do it myself. I didn't want to do that, so they then created al kinds of reasons why the job would ow cost $750-1200. I called The Sprinkler Doctor, he came right away & got the job done quickly. He has done other small repairs on my system, and will soon close it down for the season.

We've been using them for 4 years now and they have been consistently great - quick to respond, show up when they say they will, do good work, and are well priced.

Bob has always been very responsive to our phone calls, timely in his appointments, friendly, and fair in his prices. For this particular call, he by our home a little early. I wasn't home to speak with him, but he looked at the work that needed to be done and left me a detailed message with an estimate. We are still figuring out our plans for our yard and what might need to be done with our irrigation system, but if there is any sprinkler work that needs to be done, we plan on calling The Sprinkler Doctor.
Description of Work: We've used The Sprinkler Doctor in the past to get our irrigation system ready for the season and also, to check all our sprinkler heads after we got a new fence installed. Our most recent call was for an estimate on adding 2 zones to our current irrigation system.

Excellent. Quickly found the valve location and problem, and resolved it. I mentioned the leaky backflow preventor mechanism (wasn't the intent of the call) and again quickly diagnosed and repaired it. Cost matched the rough estimate.

Recently moved into a new home where the irrigation system was maintained poorly by the previous homeowner. They came out and made the necessary repairs to the leaking plumbing, installed a new rain sensor, and changed some of the sprinkler heads which were too large. As well as added on two more heads and moved others to make sure the lawn was properly watered. The price was lower than I expected for all the work. They even pointed out problems we needed to call the plumber for. They'll be our regular irrigation service twice a year when it needs to be winterized and then turned back on.

Professional, High Quality workmanship, at a reasonable price Answered all my questions (I have a small backyard), and made sure that the sprinkler system they installed did not spray my home with water. Also they took the time to show me how to work the system. They arrived when they said would, and finished right on time. Highly Recommend!

Phenomenal. I called on Friday mid-day. Bob called me back and left a message before the end of the day. He told me to call him on his cell phone. I called Saturday morning and he happened to be in our area so he came over that morning. He fixed the head and moved it closer to our sidewalk so that we wouldn't run over it again. He also noticed that a head was shooting the water too far so he replaced that with a different head. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again. He was quick, thorough, provided clear answers to questions. I love it when a service provider doesn't just do the job -- they do it better than it previously was. Bob did that for us. Highly recommend him.

Our first year in a new home, our underground sprinkler system was not winterized. I was able to take a picture of the leaks, send it to Bob, and he came a few days later with all the right parts and fixed it in one visit. He also reconfigured out sprinkler heads and reprogrammed our system to service the lawn better. Very professional and helpful. I recommend.

Excellent. He came back a couple of times and always came when he said he would. He knows what he's doing.
Description of Work: He fixed a lawn irrigation leak that we had. He adjusted the sprinkler heads. He drained the irrigation system for winter at a later time. We were very impressed that he was able to quickly identify the leak and to quickly fix it. He also got a section working that had been turned off due to another part that was broken.
