Mr. Gardner came out to my home a week prior to beginning the job to give me an estimate. He was very thoughtful and listened to my concerns. He made many suggestions, and even talked me out of several that were not really necessary and very costly. He came up with an estimate within 45 minutes and we scheduled a day for work to be done on the spot. The day of the job he showed up with his assistant and promptly went to work. He completed all the repairs and tested the system to ensure there were no leaks within just a few hours. He was very courteous and professional and made sure I was happy with everything before he left. He answered all my questions and explained to me everything he was doing. I was very happy with the end result.
Description of Work: Overhaul of existing sprinkler system that had numerous design flaws and a broken pipe. Replaced several sprinkler heads with more efficient ones.

Stan Gardner is very professional. It rained for about 10 days prior to this week and he had to call to reschedule our appointment. I called others and no one else bothered to call back. I planted some new arborvitaes and the original sprinkler layout didn't cover where it should. Stan made it work on the fly and his recommendations were spot on. He had no way to anticipate all the issues I had but he fit everything in on one call and made quick work of it.
Description of Work: Stan moved 6 sprinkler heads and relocated them for best coverage. He repaired a punctured sprinkler line, replaced broken or nozzles, added a new sprinkler head to the system and elevated 3 heads that were not coming up.

I was having trouble with my lawn irrigation system, and some concerns about it needing changes because of some recent plantings. Stan was a day later than initially planned, but he called enough in advance that I was totally comfortable with the rescheduling. I did not know what was wrong, and it would have been pretty easy to take advantage of me, but Stan did not even try to! All I really needed was to have one pop-up sprayer moved a few feet and readjusted, and he took care of it right away. I will certainly call him again, if I ever have concerns about my irrigation system again.
Description of Work: Moved and adjusted a pop-up head in irrigation system.

Fantastic! Quick response to my call. Friendly and professional. Talked me through everything they were doing and made some suggestions for better coverage. Their attitude was great and it was a pleasure having them help me out.
Description of Work: I had a malfunctioning lawn sprinkler head. I called them around 1:30 pm, and by 4:00 pm they had returned the call and were willing to come by the house right away. Minutes later they were there! I showed them the sprinkler head and they fixed the problem (clogged) in minutes. I had them also check the entire system (all zones) and adjust as necessary for the best coverage.

Stan Gardner called to let me know he was running a few minutes late. He listened to my concerns about my established irrigation system and walked through each zone with me. Some of my heads were quite old and not functioning correctly, so I okayed his putting in new ones. When I asked when he could come and do the work; he said "right now." I agreed if he could finish before my appointment later in the morning. He finished 15 minutes before I had to leave so we did not do a walk through, but I told him I would evaluate later and call if there are any problems. I have checked out his work and it was spot on. I will be calling him for any future irrigation work.hr
Description of Work: My irrigation system is about 10 years old. Over the years I have had a few heads replaced and struggled with some of the old heads to get them pointed in the right direction. Stan walked through each zone with me and we discussed the pros and cons of keeping, replacing, or moving the heads. When we finished our walk through it was obvious he knew exactly what to do and how to do it.

Their pricing was reasonable. The system is working fine. I had not had them come back since then when I had a problem. They come out promptly. They do what is needed to be done. I appreciate their prompt service and the quality of their work. They did a good job. There was no problem. They responded in a timely manner. I wasn't there, but they were able to do what they needed to do without me being there. They left the bill which I needed to pay them. They understood what I was taking about over the phone. They were very professional. I would definitely use them in the future if I needed to.
Description of Work: Gardner Irrigation replaced the sprinkler head. They also checked the entire sprinkler system.

Stan installed my irrigation system in 2007. I initially was hesitant to hire him because his was the lowest quote. I decided to choose him after getting glowing reviews from his client references. He did a great job putting in a complicated system at a very fair price. He was on site working next to his employees during the entire installation. He completed work on my installation before moving on to the next job. I have had absolutely no problems with the system and am 100% satisfied with the work he did. I can't say that about any other service provider I have hired.
Description of Work: Stan repaired a fitting I broke due to being careless with a shovel. For free! If you want service after the sale (he installed my system four years ago), this is the company to choose. I called him on Monday and he was at my house bright and early on Wednesday. You will not find a more competent, honest, fair, and cheerful irrigation specialist.

Our system had not been used for more than a year. The lake-fed pump had frozen over the winter. Gardner removed the pump, had it repaired and saved us significant money over replacing it. (A good portion of the cost of the job was still in the pump repairs). He also repaired, repositioned and adjusted a number of heads. Took the time to instruct us on proper use and answer all our questions. Knowlegable and nice guys to deal with. System is working great now. We will use them again.

I was struggling with one specific zonal issue of my sprinkler system for last three months, I have used another guy from referral and he cheated me heavily and also used the cheap equipment, charging me 4 times. For last three week the zone was thru and I was not able to use any of my zone and shut down the whole system. Then, I found Stan (Gardner Irrigation) from Angie?s list, and I am thankful to Angie?s list and grateful of Stan?s work. He seems magic, he knows at once and didn?t take time to locate the problem and fixed them all with no time. I highly recommend Gardner Irrigation for its work. Thanks,
Description of Work: He located the valve which was not found by couple of experts and fixed the valve and adjusted my all 6 zone of irrigation system.

Response from GARDNER IRRIGATION
I never spoke to anyone named this, I only spoke to a man after receiving his email. According to my saved emails and recollection of phone calls, I did cancel by email, on Saturday, June 25, by writing "I'm very sorry, but I can't get by your house today. Will call next week and attempt to re-schedule." He replied "ok". Then, 3 days later, Tuesday June 28th, I received an email from him stating "Never received a follow up call, contact me after July 10, 2011 to make an appointment." He hadn't received a call from me yet because it was Tuesday, and I said I was going to contact him that week, I did not say by Tuesday. It is not true that I never returned any calls. I did not receive another call or message from him after that Saturday, and did return the initial call. I never was able to make the last call that was requested to be made after July 10th, because I received this report, written on July 8th, two days before the day he wanted a return phone call.

Quite an excellent and professional experience. He gave the entire system a thorough going-over. If a sprinkler head was simply covered in dirt or grass, he removed all the excess so that it worked. He didn't try to sell me a new piece of equipment. Two sprinkler heads had to be replaced, but they were original to the house, so probably decades old. He dug up as little lawn as possible when replacing them. He did his work, chatted if I was hanging around, presented his bill (I did not ask for an estimate first, but he would have given me one if I had asked) and left. He said sprinkler heads come with warranty, so if any problems, he will return and fix at no additional cost.
Description of Work: Stan ran the entire system, watching as each section ran, marked what needed work and then described to me what he proposed to do before proceeding.

I called Stan based on all the positive reports on Angie's List. When I orignially called, he stated he was pretty busy, but could fit me in within 2 weeks. He setup a time to come by and look at the job and provide an estimate on the work. Well, when he came by to give the estimate I was not only thrilled with the price, but he informed me he could go ahead and do the work that day. Stan and his helper were both very knowledgeable, very professional, and very nice people. Gardner is the only company I plan on using in the future.

Stan Gardner was the person we dealt with and he quoted $3800. I chose him based on the reviews that I read about him online. He was wonderful, terrific and perfect. He got my current irrigation system somewhat running. He reviewed that to see if anything had to be done or if a new one needed to be put in. It wasn?t working and it?s still not working. So we discussed as to what he could do to get my yard set up for landscaping and that's why we thought that February would be the best time to do it. He is prompt, courteous and professional. His responsiveness was terrific. He followed through with everything that he said and he mailed me a quote. He came on time too.

I called and he came out the next day. He called on his way over to confirm we were home. I explained our problem and he was able to determine and correct the problem quickly. We have asked him to come back and perform some upgrades to the system.
Description of Work: My existing sprinkler system would not turn on. Stan came out determined the problem and corrected it. Although it was a relatively simple solution it would not likely have occured to someone not familiar with similar systems.
