Everything went well during the estimate. That is to say that the company responded quickly to my inquiry and followed up shortly thereafter with a proposal. Furthermore, the gentleman arrived on time for the appointment and acted professionally. Unfortunately, the price they quoted was very high, and I decided not to use them.

They drained the water in the valve box. They discovered the valve box had a poor fitting extension added sometime, which made it so the lid didn't fit at all. This was removed to create a tight seal. They also tried another lid to make sure they had a good fit. They reburied the valve box in the nearby dirt as he could see we are trying to make a walkway with grass. Perfect solution found quickly. Next they checked the irrigation system for leaks. There were none. The standing water was near the drain line. They discovered the drain line coming out from the deck was not put in to extend far enough out to the end of the end of the bed. Rather it was buried halfway in the dirt. He showed me how water was draining alongside it from under the patio. So he found the problem and I can have my patio contractor extend the line the way it should have been done on install. He was polite, courteous, prompt and very easy to work with. I plan to call them again for my irrigation needs.
Description of Work: We needed help trouble shooting. We recently installed a new patio. Our valve box is in part of our walkway and had an unstable lid which didn't fit the box, and would gather water as a result. We wanted the box to be tight so we could bury it, have a stable surface to walk over, and and a box which didn't gather water. We also have a flower bed filling with standing water, and wanted them to check for a leak in the line.

I was very happy with the service provided by AK Irrigation. They responded quickly to my email, and the woman I spoke with was polite and professional. I was able to get an appointment that same week. The technician (Tyler) arrived on time. He was very knowledgeable, and worked quickly to diagnose and repair the problem we were having. We thought the price we paid was more than fair for the great service we received. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again, and would be confident in recommending them.

This work we had done needed to be completed within a very small window after the final grading of our yard was done, but prior to the lawn being seeded. AK worked with us on the scheduling, and did a great job in handling a few unexpected issue with the electrical wiring that was outside their control. In the end, the system was installed properly and in the time frames that we needed it. We've had great experiences working with AK Irrigation and I would recommend them to anyone looking for an irrigation contractor.
Description of Work: We had an existing irrigation system in the front of our house. We recently took on a major landscaping project which damaged some of the existing system. We hired AK to repair the existing system and also to significantly expand the existing system by adding new zones for rear yard and around new landscaping.

They were really good. They've been out here for about 6 times. We had one drain company come out and they cut so many of the sprinkler lines. With AK, as soon as I called them to say that I have another issue or it was leaking or whatever, they're out here within two days. They bend over backwards for you.

They did a really good job on keeping in communication with me and arrived on time. Two technicians came for the job. They completed the inspection of the sprinkler heads and kept me involved in what was going on. They diagnosed that two heads needed to be replaced and the technician showed me what was wrong with each of them. He replaced both of them for an additional fee. However, they had a deal to buy one sprinkler head and receive the other one for no cost. The new sprinkler heads include a warranty and also have a longer life expectancy. They even found the annual back-flow inspection that is required through the county. They did a really good job with the work and everything works just fine.

It went so well, I am so pleased with everything that they did!! They were outstanding!!!
Description of Work: I bought a bank owned home that had been unoccupied for 4 years. I purchased the big deal to have the sprinkler system tuned up. AK came, replaced a broken valve first. They then came back to test the unit, discoverd that 26 of the 28 heads were not working properly. AK came back today to replace 27 spinkler heads/rotater heads. They were very professional, knowledgeable, and fast. The guys had the system up and running perfectly in about an hour or so! They were awesome, and I will use them again. I am having them come back to install a rain sensor.

Spring startup was via an Angie's List Big Deal, but it was also to get someone out to assess what all might be needed as had not used the system for three years. Issues addressed included the following, and was scheduled promptly once I had considered the estimate for a while. I did not seek a second estimate, though I considered. But AK did a good job on the initial assessment, and a bit of work in itself, just to be in position to give me an estimate, so I chose to stay with them. And now plan to use for my spring start ups and fall blow outs. Again, work completed was as follows. o Repairing cut wires previously sliced through on replacing an in-ground drain to the street. That got the sprinkler system going so as to assess. o Of ten zones, four valves would not open, involving all three in-ground valve boxes, so these would all need to be dug up as these were older style valves, in the ground for over 20 years now. So decision was to replace all ten ten valves, as we were just looking at having to do all over again the next time a valve went out. Plus these new valves have replaceable diaphragm's, so you have a better chance to repair in place if needed later. Plus there is a five year warranty now on the valves. o Also had two other leaks in the system, and several heads to replace.
Description of Work: Spring start up and fairly extensive repairs to sprinkler system.

We purchased our home in July, 2013 and heard about a "backflow inspection" but that was it. In May, we received a postcard informing us that we needed to get the inspection completed in a couple of weeks. After reviewing Angie's List, we contacted AK Irrigation. I thought they were supposed to arrive on 7/12 but they showed up on 7/13 (I stand by the 7/12 date but figured I would let that slide). Tyler showed up, found an issue and "fixed" the problem. On Monday, my wife went to run the hose and found the line was still blocked, spewing water everywhere. We called AK Irrigation and they came out the following day to fix the problem. They were supposed to show up on 7/12 and showed up on 7/13. I wanted to know what we had to do to make sure we were "compliant" with the backflow inspection and had to call to find out (they're the experts...why do I have to follow up?). The repair we weren't expecting wasn't repaired correctly. Four days, several phone calls, a ton of questions and $240...my wife and I actually discussed getting rid of the irrigation system. It may have just been bad luck, but will result in us not using AK Irrigation again. Which is a shame - we picked them because they were a "Super Service Award Winner".
