It was a pleasure to work with Gardner Irrigation. From our first meeting for an estimate I sensed Stan was honest and dependable and sure enough he proved me right. He thoroughly explained what needed to be done to overhaul the torn apart system and came up with a new irrigation layout that works more efficiently than the original one. He updated the zones that weren't affected by the pool and repaired some broken heads in the front yard. When his job was done Stan offered to come back to set the timers for the new sod. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgable, professional, dependable call Stan. I will use Gardner Irrigationfor any future services I may need.

Stan and his company did an outstanding job for us. He was very professional and responsive to calls and texts from the beginning of the job to the end. He was always punctual and there when he said he was. The job started and finished when he said it would. After the install he spent time going over the system with me and already had it programmed with some slight adjustments. I was very pleased with the service of Gardner Irrigation and will use them in the future as needed. It is rare in today's markets to find a company who does what they say they will do, when they say they will do it, and for what price is agreed, all with high quality. Bravo!

Arrived on time (actually, a few minutes early). I described the issues -- Stan diagnosed and performed the work that same afternoon. System works great! Also, an excellent job cleaning up, Stan was very thorough explaining all the work done, and offered several suggestions for things I could do myself to improve zone coverage, etc. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Description of Work: Replaced backflow valve, 3 zone valves, and several spray heads.

PERFECT, I could not be more pleased. Stan and Milton did an outstanding job. Always wanted an irrigation system as it was extremely time consuming to drag around the sprinkler between the front and back yard. They even installed a sprayer system for my azalea's that sit off to themselves in a grove of trees only getting water when mother nature decided they need some.

Pump was humming, but no water. In trying to diagnose and fix it myself, and in the process I had broken the filter and last 5 feet of pipe off and it fell into the lake. I was convinced the whole pump was bad. He found the connection that was letting air in and fixed it in just a few minutes. He offered to fix the end but told me how to fix it and exactly what to do, so that it saved me money. I did what he said and it is working perfectly. He could have replaced the whole pump and charged me a ton as I was convinced the pump was bad, but he didn't. Instead of thousands, it was less than a hundred bucks. Once again, he will keep my business and I highly recommend him.

Stan and Milton arrived exactly on time, checked my old system controller (a Lawn Genie installed in 1983) and replaced it with a new Rain Bird controller. They found that all stations but number one were working, and had to locate the valves. Stan checked the wiring under my house and he and Milton located the valve box. They replaced all 4 solenoids which were old and rusty, and tested the system. One of the sprinkler heads was broken so they replaced it. They also put in an additional drip line for the shrubs on the side of my house. Stan showed me how to operate the new controller panel and he tested all the stations to make sure every thing was functioning properly. He adjusted a couple of the sprinkler heads to keep them from hitting the wooden door to my crawl space. Both Stan and Milton were very professional and answered all my questions. They made sure I understood what they were doing and was satisfied with their work. I will definitely use them again. I did ask several other people that do business at my house about who they would recommend for sprinkler repair and service, and all of them recommended Gardner Irrigation.
Description of Work: Replaced old controller, located valves and replaced all solenoids, checked pump, replaced one sprinkler head, and added additional drip line.

Let me add another A+ to the other A reviews for Gardner Irrigation. We had a large system that needed complete overhauling which was done in a professional, and timely way. I was pleased to begin with. What especially pleased me was the response when we had to call them back for "tweaking" a problem that developed within a few weeks. ~~ They were here the next morning to fix the system, and did not leave until it was repaired to our satisfaction. Not only is their work done well, their attitude, responsiveness and work ethic are something one can only wish other service workers would learn from. They will get future business.
Description of Work: Overhauled and upgraded an ancient system over several acres. Installed two new zones.

Stan and crew work hard and smart. He solved problems and exceeded what I thought possible with this old system. I couldn't be happier!
They came promptly and found the pump was not working. Offered to take it in to diagnose, but the pump was so old we opted to buy a new one. They came back in several days and connected it and readjusted several sprinkler heads. Very friendly and professional. Did a good job.

We have been looking for a quality service company to correct some problems with our residential irrigation system. Prior experiences have left something to be desired. On July 29, following an internet search, I met with owner Stanley Gardner. I was pleasantly surprised at his knowledge and total review of the system. While based upon prior experiences I remained skeptical, his presentation did impress me especially when he pointed out a serious flaw in the control panel that should not have gone unnoticed by the installer of the panel. He provided me with a quote for straightening, relocating and adding irrigation heads along with rerouting a drip line that over 15 years had become ineffective. After considering the estimate and trying to keep costs to a minimum, I exchanged several communications with Stanley suggesting possible alternatives including not replacing the drip line. He lowered the estimate based upon that. However, when he arrived to perform the remaining work list, I asked him if there was a possibility of adding the drip line back to the work order. We lost several new bushes that were on the faulty drip line where, no matter how much we hand watered them, it was a losing proposition. He said it would be no problem since he had all the necessary parts including what was needed for the control panel. There was no sales pressure from him and he was as pleasant as anyone could ask. He kept communication going as he progressed with his helper, Milton, in digging trenches in the rock hard ground on what must be one of the hottest South Carolina days this year. They completed the entire job within a few hours and departed leaving me to conclude that this has now become my irrigation service company of choice. Pricing is competitive, work is flawless and onsite communication is priceless. I highly recommend Stanley and Milton.

Stan and Milton came on the day promised and completed the entire job, and it was extensive, in one day. Although we anticipated that the job would take 2 days, they stayed until everything was done and walked us through the entire system (even the zones they didn't have to replace). Stan and Milton are so easy to work with and professional. I will call on Gardner Irrigation in the future when I need them!

He came out and discovered it wasn't the pump, but a bad relay box. He came back a few days later on the day he said he would, and replaced the switch. All was working fine when he left. He also looked cleaned out a line filter and checked a solenoid without charging. I will definitely use him again

After checking Angie?s List for someone to fix my sprinkler system, I called several companies and decided to use Gardner Irrigation because of the numerous excellent reviews. Stan Gardner set up an appointment within two days of my calling him. He and Milton arrived on time and thoroughly evaluated the system, including the pump and controller box, determining the problem. They went out into the lake from which my system draws water, and repaired the intake pipe which had somehow been turned upside down. They checked all the heads, cleaned the muck out of the still functional ones, flushed the lines, and replaced the older damaged heads. They replaced the sod around the sprinkler heads so that the yard looked as if nothing had been disturbed. Stan checked each station, adjusting the heads to obtain the best coverage and to avoid hitting the siding on my house. Last Friday, after running the system a couple of times, I noticed that 2 heads were not working properly in the front yard. I left a message on Stan?s answering machine, and he called me first thing Monday morning. He and Johnny came out that very afternoon and checked the station and replaced the two bad heads. They ran each of my 4 stations to make sure that everything was working properly. Stan and his staff were very professional and personable, and explained to me everything that they were doing. The price was very fair, and I will continue to use Gardner Irrigation for all my sprinkler needs.
Description of Work: Evaluated my sprinkler system to see why all stations were running at the same time, but with not all heads functioning. Determined the cause and made the necessary repairs.
