Called Heads up for sprinkler review and repair as well as updating our controller to a Rachio automated controller which I can run from anywhere with my cell phone. Found a few sprinkler head issues which were repaired as well as repairing an underground broken pipe. Responsive and cooperative. Will continue to use.

These people are great, they discovered wires cut and and pipes leaking from a drainage landscaping job done 2 weeks prior. I put them in touch with the landscape contractor who Caryn knew and arranged to bill the contractor direct. Incredibly thorough and professional.

Heads Up threatened criminally fraudulent mechanic's lien for amount due for work at a house we hadn't bought yet. I assisted with collecting their debt from prior owner (got no thanks for that) and referenced TX law that requires written contract signed by both spouses for homestead properties before a lien can be filed. NOTE: I have emails substantiating these facts and will provide them if removal of this review is attempted.

Response from Heads Up Sprinkler Co.
Want the flip side of this incident? December 21, 2016 [Member Name Removed] called Heads Up Sprinkler Co and scheduled an appointment for services. Both Heads Up and [Member Name Removed] agreed upon an appointment for the following day, December 22, 2016. [Member Name Removed] met our Heads Up licensed irrigation team and instructed our team to move and change some heads - all services delivered were per his directives. When Heads Up invoiced [Member Name Removed], he claimed he was not responsible for the invoice - that we should invoice the previous homeowner. To be clear, finding good contractors is hard. Angie's List helps. There are 2 sides to the contractor/customer relationship. [Member Name Removed] engaged our services, directed our services and accepted our services but refused to pay for our services. In any state, verbal contracts have an implicit agreement and acceptance with ultimately, a conclusion and payment. The fact that [Member Name Removed] refused to pay for the services he engaged, no matter whether he had taken possession of the home or not, in our view was troublesome. Heads Up invoices the customer who engages us - not a previous homeowner who has moved from the house where our services were delivered. Imagine if you were the previous homeowner, how would you like to receive invoice(s) from contractor(s) engaged by the individual to whom you had sold your home, closed on your home and subsequently believed the deal to be completed? Heads Up submitted multiple invoice reminders (30, 60 & 90 days past due) only to receive responses that [Member Name Removed] had no intention of paying for those services, ever. [Member Name Removed] insisted we invoice the previous owner. We didn't. We continued to invoice him. After 120 days past due, Heads Up exercised our state sanctioned method of declaring a conclusion to the said contract - the filing of a mechanic's lien against the property where services were rendered. It is not a pleasant alternative and one Heads Up has had to implement only 2 previous times in the past 20 years. Eventually, 5 days after the letter of notification of intent to file the lien, we received payment. [Member Name Removed] is on a one-man crusade to present his point of view on every forum at his disposal. The individual who believes themselves entitled to free goods & services and furthermore elects to disparage the contractor months afterward may be indicative of other issues causing disruption in that person's life. In the case of [Member Name Removed], Heads Up was professional every step of the way. We sincerely hope whatever is bothering [Member Name Removed] rights itself, as sprinklers should never be a life or death situation causing such apparent angst. We wish you well [Member Name Removed].

Repaired a yard sprinkler and found a cracked riser pipe. Adjusted any heads that needed adjustments and checked my automatic timer.
Description of Work: Called on Monday and spoke with Patty. I explained my service needs and she was able to schedule my service the next day. The crew (3) men arrived inside the service time and proceeded to address all of my needs very efficiently. Before they left they inquired if I had any questions or other issues.

Heads Up did a great job, but that's what we expected after several years' experience with this fine company. We don't bother to call anyone else for lawn irrigation. They are the gold standard in our view. Professional, personable and on top of latest developments in water use and conservation. If there is a less expensive way to do something, you'll hear it from them. In this case, they coordinated with a landscaper who was installing new plants. Work was done on the day scheduled and finished on time. All was cleaned up. Caryn gave us an orientation on the changes and updates to the system and that was it. As usual, she encouraged us to call back if any questions came up, but so far, all is working fine.

I was completely pleased with every aspect of my experience with Head's Up. Caryn and Patty are by far the most knowledgeable of any irrigation specialists I interviewed. It is evident they truly care about their customers, and the outcome of the project. They did not recommend drip for my back yard, which would have been more lucrative for them, but tweaked the spray heads instead. This speaks to their honesty and integrity. I got several bids, and their charges are very reasonable. They went above and beyond what I would have expected. Their team did a great job!
Description of Work: A large amount of drip irrigation and updated spray entire front yard. We converted our landscape to virtually no mow. Updated spray in back yard, new controller, repaired some damaged heads and the pool fill pvc. Also ran drains in front away from house.

It was the second day of living in a new residence just purchased. Turned the sprinklers on and a head broke and began flooding the yard. It was a pool and became an emergency. I called Heads Up Sprinkler and asked if they could send a repairman out immediately. I was desperate as I was at work and my wife was at home with the crisis. Instead of trying to take advantage of my emergency , the company called my wife and walked her through how to shut off the system and stop the flow of water. The problem was resolved in 15 minutes at no charge. WOW! What great customer service. I will employee the company's service to repaid the sprinkler AND this will be the only company I use to maintain my sprinkler system going forward. I wish all companies would treat their customers with the high degree of care that Heads Up Sprinkler does.

When Caryn came out initially for the quote for drip irrigation, she discovered that I had a broken pipe at the main valve plus several broken heads. I was going to have everything done at the same time as the drip irrigation installation but when she found the damage she fixed it immediately having to pump the water from the underground valve before the repair could be done. Caryn replied "this is why we always check everything when we come out". I have used this company before with great satisfaction but never realized that they also did the installation so I got a bid from another company first. This person never checked where I had the broken pipe, saying that he would check the system while he was there but I guess he did not. I am so glad that I rechecked Heads Up's Web site to discover that they also did installations, I thought they only did repairs. They did much more, for less, than the other company. On 9/11 I had the drip irrigation installed. I could not have been more pleased. This company pays attention to every step of the process in great detail, doing far more than I ever expected. I was in awe of the final review of my yard. The new system was thoroughly explained before they left and to make sure I was pleased. In this day of dog-eat-dog living it is wonderful to find an ethical, fair and professional company. They really care about their customer's satisfaction. Patty is in the office, wonderful to talk to. Caryn comes with her team, making sure everything is done to her standards. They all work as a team, having respect for one another and the crew, also, is very proud of the work that they do. Keep up your excellent standards!

Response from Heads Up Sprinkler Co.
This member has been a customer of Heads Up for a long while. She even enlisted family members to become customers. Heads Up does always check your entire system because, well, that's what we do. It's important to look at a system holistically, because a leak or damage somewhere can adversely impact operations and water pressure elsewhere. For clarifications purpose, Heads Up does install drip and additional stations to existing systems. We do NOT install brand new sprinkler systems. Installing a new sprinkler system takes different equipment, more civic paperwork & registrations and the workers have different skill sets. Heads Up specializes in repairs, retro-fits and rehabilitating existing sprinklers to meet today’s landscape needs. We are resolute about saving water through leak repairs, improved head layouts, new water saving components and helping homeowners keep their sprinklers in good working order. Happy as always to help [removed name member], her sister, her extended family, her friends and her fellow Angie’s List members.

Heads Up was very good. They arrived when scheduled (even a few minutes early), and were very professional and quick with their work. They clearly demonstrated an understanding of sprinkler systems and were proactive in providing suggestions for improving our performance. They provided us additional guidance on watering times and zones to get better more efficient use from our sprinkler system. I was very impressed with the staff they sent and the work that was performed. I would definitely recommend them and use them again. There rate was $125 per hour labor for two people and both men worked the entire hour. Wonderful first experience - will definitely use their services again!
Description of Work: Heads Up performed a service check on our system and fixed a leak that we had called them about. In addition, they identified several heads needing replacement and identified an issue with the water hitting the fence rather than the bushes and fixed that as well.

Another satisfied Angie’s List customer. Heads Up applauds our customers who believe strongly in rating our service. Every service call we make is made with the same objectives in mind, fix what’s broken, help the homeowner recognize what the issues were/are, educate, educate, educate. With droughts, limited supplies of water and desires for healthy landscapes, Heads Up tries to fit all the pieces together for each customer. Our company is small, just 6 people, a very close-knit family of co-workers. We’ve been together for years, almost 12. Each person on our team is passionate about doing a good job, not just a job, a good job. That differentiates us from other companies. Our customers trust us to take care of their sprinklers, help them to have healthy lawns and gardens and to help them save water. Perhaps a tall order for some companies, but an everyday occurrence for ours. We take pride in delivery the best to all of our customers.

The service went very well and I will use them in the future when the need arises.
Description of Work: We knew we had a water leak but we could not locate it. The men from Heads-Up located it. It was under the city sidewalk. They repaired it and even though they had to do a medium amount of digging on both sides, after they were finished the turf looked very good. Additionally, they serviced all zones of our system and had to replace a sprinkler valve plus several heads.

Response from Heads Up Sprinkler Co.
Since automatic sprinkler systems run via underground pipes, Heads Up is not unaccustomed to digging. Not unlike a surgeon, we prefer to perform minimally invasive digging. Recognizing that water leaks act on gravity based principles, finding leaks can be tricky. This member had a leak caused by a common pipe enemy, ground stress. The drought causes soil to dry out. Watering causes expansion to the soil. Constant dry/wet conditions can stress the cement compound at original pipe fittings. Water will leak out at the opening where the fitting and pipe separate, then travel on the outside of the pipe (it’s the path of least resistance). The water will travel “downhill” along the pipe and frequently settle in a low spot, far from the actual break. Understanding these principles, coupled with understanding irrigation pipe design helps us to figure out the precise location of a leak. Repairing one under a sidewalk sometimes means getting at it from both sides of the sidewalk. Besides minimizing where digging has to be done, cover-up is the key. Putting the grass back, green-side-up, seems intuitive, but does take a bit more carefulness and time. Standard operating procedure for us! Fix the problem, leave a clean worksite and another happy member. Glad to have helped.

I have an 8 zone sprinkler system. I thought I was having problems with one sprinkler head. I contacted Head Up Sprinkler Co. to fix the one problem I thought I had. They were unable to come for a week (perfectly understandable during a Texas summer). They did arrive on the appointed day and time. They performed a complete check on the whole system. Was I surprised. They found that a sprinkler head had been covered when I had an out side AC condenser replaced. (That was why I was having with the grass dying in that area. Another sprinkler head had been covered in a raised landscape area behind my pool when a pool repair had been done. This causing a problem with the retaining wall. Several other sprinkler heads were not maximizing water usage or were not operational. They showed each of the problem areas to me and explained what had happened and what needed to be done. WE agreed on the work for that visit. Since I was to have extensive landscape work don in the pool area, some of the repairs were postponed until this Fall. I will be calling them in the next couple of weeks to have them come back and complete the work they proposed. They worked very hard and efficiently. I have recommended them to a friend who also was very pleased with their service.
Description of Work: Checked all sprinkler heads. Made repairs as necessary. Provided recommendations for future improvements on the sprinler system.

Response from Heads Up Sprinkler Co.
More frequently than not, we discover issues created by contractors who have been on a property before us. Most often, homeowners believe that if the sprinkler heads spray, they are working. We beg to differ. Sometimes the best meaning contractors inadvertently cover a sprinkler head or try to make a pipe repair for you but their work fails after a time. It happens all the time. We check your entire system and specifically look for what we are professionally trained to find. If we find a problem in your yard, whether it is related to your sprinklers or otherwise, chances are you’d like to know about it. Knowing empowers you to understand the issue, perhaps, like this member, see the light bulb go off as to why something seemed amiss in your yard. Our customers ask us to check their sprinklers, we do that thoroughly and make repairs accordingly. Most of our customers are too busy to notice the things we point out. That’s why they hire us, to do what we do. Glad to have helped this member, mysteries are our specialty to resolve, not ignore.

Response from Heads Up Sprinkler Co.
This member is absolutely correct, she called twice within a 2 hour period on a Wednesday afternoon and unfortunately, we did not return her call until the following mid-morning. We left her a voicemail and did not get to speak to her directly. The afternoon she called, we spent returning the 22 calls that had come in before her, replying to 17 emails that landed in the inbox, and answering the close to 20 scheduling calls we had been trying to confirm from earlier “phone tag” callers. We did however answer her call, got her voicemail, she hasn’t called us back. We apologize that it was not within the time frame she had anticipated; the original voice mail message she left did not indicate that her issue was life-threatening or any sort of sprinkler emergency for that matter. It is not always possible to speak to everyone as soon as they call in – we are a small company, we do not have a call center, we have 1 phone. Heads Up Sprinkler Company would not be in business if we failed to answer our phone, respond to text messages or reply to emails. Sometimes phone tag happens despite our very best efforts to contact people. We encourage anyone who has an emergency sprinkler issue (can’t turn the system off or a leak in the mainline) to contact your city water department for free assistance in shutting off the sprinkler water source (and not the water source to the house). Heads Up tries diligently to help everyone who calls, unfortunately for this member we failed, in her opinion, miserably. We sincerely hope this member discovered a licensed irrigator who was able to meet her expectations in a timelier manner, our competition needs more customers like her.

They were very knowledgeable, professional, and so far so good. Their services are a bit pricey, but they did a thorough job and this is the longest we've ever gone without repairing some part of the irrigation system. They offered me advise on how to approach a future landscaping project that we are planning. We will definitely use this company again.

Response from Heads Up Sprinkler Co.
Heads Up is pleased to help homeowners just like this member. Sprinkler issues sometimes don’t get noticed until there are so many things wrong with them that the yard begins to suffer. When deferred maintenance finally gets addressed, it can be challenging to make sure everything gets corrected in a timely and efficient manner. It would be nice if sprinkler systems were more accessible, but they are underground. This member’s sprinkler system hadn’t been working in quite some time. They had multiple broken wires, (3) failed valves, multiple leaks and (7) heads that were broken. Despite the breaks in the wires being buried, we traced the wires with wire locators, located the 1st break, spliced the break, traced the wire & located the next break, spliced it, the next and so on until all wiring circuits were complete; dug up (3) valves, replacing each of them, insuring the new valve replacement to be leak-proof, repacking each valve in a protective valve box & lid and testing each valve multiple times to simulate several sprinkler cycles and that each station/zone worked from the controller; then while checking each station’s heads we flagged, dug up and replaced (7) broken heads and insured proper nozzling for best coverage; finally we run the system through 2 more test runs to make certain nothing else failed after reestablishing the corrected water pressure throughout --- all that was completed in 2 hours. Although they believed the expense to be a bit high, we think it was a bargain. We sent 3 very experienced licensed professionals to their house that Monday in September. We charge an hourly rate plus parts. Some sprinkler companies prefer to send 1 or 2 people per service call which invariably extends the on-site time needed to make repairs. Perhaps it may have taken a team of 2 people 4 hours, or a single irrigator possibly 6 hours to accomplish all our team did in just 2 hours. Bottom line, we work quickly, efficiently and professionally. The rates we charge are competitive especially considering the number of workers on the teams we dispatch. Our team takes the extra effort to test each system completely so we find anything that may have failed as a result of the newer components being repaired, not our customer. We don’t want to come back because of something we could have resolved just by more testing. As always, we recommend that whomever you chose to work on your sprinklers, insist that they be licensed – it is the law in Texas.

This review is late, and I can't remember the exact date, but it was some time in April. This is a very professional company. The lady in charge (Caryn or Patty, sorry, can't remember which name) went over with me everything that they were going to do. She communicated with me throughout the time that they were there. A good size crew of four came out as well, a couple were trainees I think. They found one leak that I didn't realize was as bad as it was. They replaced more sprinkler heads than I had planned for them to do, but since they were there, I thought what the heck, let the pros do it. My front lawn looks much better this year now that the sprinkler coverage is good. I heartily recommend Heads Up.

Response from Heads Up Sprinkler Co.
We helped [member name removed] on March 12th and found 2 lateral line leaks, 1 in 2 different stations. We repaired both leaks and tested them for hold-tight or leak-proof conditions. After all the repairs, we checked every station multiple times to simulate multiple watering cycles. This is our standard practice. This testing process helps to force lose debris in the pipes to heads so we can remove nozzles & filters in order to flush the debris out of the lines then reconnect the nozzles and do it as many times as needed to get the pipes as clear as possible. There were 7 heads that we identified as having failed – debris had compromised the wiper seals or gear teeth on them. We prefer this testing methodology to be performed on the same visit rather than have our customers discover debris in the line weeks after we’ve gone. The time it took our team to get everything repaired was less than 2 hours, actually it took 1¾ hours. And that’s exactly what we billed, 1¾ hours plus parts. We do advise you that when roots complicate leak repairs, just beware, cutting through those roots can add to the time needed for the repair. Heads Up sends more licensed professionals than most sprinkler companies, because we want to minimize how long it takes for repairs. Obviously it takes fewer people longer to accomplish the same amount of repairs and at comparable hourly rates, it can cost more. When sourcing service companies, ask how many people they send. Compare hourly rates based on team sizes and ask how much experience the team members have and what licenses they have. An informed consumer is better able to register value if they know what to compare it against.

Response from Heads Up Sprinkler Co.
Heads Up Sprinkler Co truly appreciates the patience of our customers. We are a small company, and we don’t have 6 or 7 trucks to dispatch every morning. Consequently, our weekly schedule can get booked full in 30-40 phone calls. We get 30-40 phone calls a day, granted not every caller needs our help. Taking the time to discuss issues over the phone helps to better schedule our team and helps our customers recognize emergencies versus general maintenance. Our objective is to help homeowners manage their own sprinklers and to only call us when issues exceed their comfort levels. At times, waiting 2 or 3 weeks is simply missing a couple of watering days, other times it may be more significant and new plantings may be in jeopardy or the severity of leaks may require immediate attention. Thank you for waiting and please let us know what issues you may have, we try to accommodate scheduling based on emergency vs. maintenance.

Heads Up Sprinkler Company were very efficient, they gave me a senior citizen discount which they called an experienced citizen discount, and they sent me a thank you note. I called them on a Saturday morning and they were able to come on a Saturday afternoon. They came and did it very quickly within an hour and I was very pleased. If in the future I need sprinkler repairs I would never call anybody else but Heads Up Sprinkler Company.

Although we are very pleased to have helped this member, she was mistaken in that we fixed everything on a Saturday. It was on the following Monday when we made the repairs. She called with an emergency on a Saturday, she couldn’t get her sprinklers to shut off. She happened to live near one of the owner’s parents’ home (Caryn’s) and Caryn just happened to be visiting her folks. It was a quick monitoring of emergency calls on Saturday and an even quicker dispatch to Caryn for her to swing by and shut off the water. We then juggled the Monday schedule to get her sprinkler system repaired promptly. Our company was responsive to a sprinkler emergency and a customer who was at a loss on how to remedy the situation. Our team sorted out her problems and got her system working again, minimizing the time her sprinklers were wasting water from not shutting off. During the early spring, we can respond quicker than we can in the middle of summer when we are 2 or 3 weeks booked out.

Response from Heads Up Sprinkler Co.
Another nice comment from a loyal customer. This member recognizes the value of having a professional check their system annually. Whether Heads Up checks your system or any other licensed irrigator checks it, annual check-ups are an absolute must. The sprinkler system is not a small investment and it requires inspections to help it perform at its best. If you change the layout of your flower beds, add new sod, remove tree, plant new shrubs, have a lawn service maintain the mowing or have any traffic at all on your yard, chances are the sprinklers are impacted. Heads can be damaged by mowing equipment, blocked by new stone borders, pipes can be damaged during landscape changes – without checking your system, these sort of damages not only jeopardize the security of your foundation and the health of your lawn & landscape, but they can be enormous water wasters. Remember to check your system often and have a professional in annually – better to spot things early than to get the shock from excess water bills or dead landscaping.

They were very prompt and did a great job with replacement parts for the sprinkler system. I would definitely use them again.

Response from Heads Up Sprinkler Co.
Sometimes repairs are relatively simple, like this member’s. Frequently we get the call that things just aren’t working right. Upon arrival this member’s issue was a valve not closing completely. That means that some water still seeps through the valve and weeps out of the heads on that valve. Sometimes it is most noticeable in the easily seen heads, sometimes just the lowest lying heads (where gravity makes it more apparent) and sometimes in low pressure on the other stations because the single valve failing to close completely depletes pressure in the rest of the running valves. Whatever the issues, we make the repairs and then we check the entire system to see if that repair reveals any other underlying or heretofore unnoticed issues. Fortunately, this member practices good system maintenance and there was little else wrong with their system. Checking your sprinklers once a month in the growing season and every 2 months in the off seasons can help keep your maintenance costs down.

Very good overall. But there is still one area in our front yard not adequately irrigated despite at least 2 return visits

This member has been a terrific customer, unfortunately they inherited a not-so-terrific sprinkler system and the process to correct all the wrongs they inherited has taken time. Heads Up added over 21 heads to their system over the past couple of years. Their water pressure limits how many more heads can be added without beginning to compromise performance. That means significant changes, more expenses than may be prudent. Since we focus on repairing and rehabilitating existing systems, along come some systems which we do all we can, but still reach the system’s limitations. Technically, budgets are usually the limitation. At some point, pauses need to be reached, options discussed and decisions made. We encourage our customers to invest based on their desired return, but imperfect systems can’t always become perfect. New water saving, low flow, pressure compensating products are now time tested and worthy of consideration for most of these imperfect opportunities. If your system is like this member’s there may still be hope for getting it in the best possible performance it can become. But we also want our customers to recognize that perfection isn’t always attainable.

They worked at it until they actually rebuilt the valves UNDER the decking. It was amazing and we saved a ton of money. They then came back on 8/30 and finished evaluating our system and changing a bunch of stuff to make it more water efficient. We had remodeled our landscaping in the front yard a few years ago but never had our irrigation reworked. We are happy as we can be. Couldn't recommend anyone higher. Caryn and Patty were incredible. Absolutely be referring these folks!
Description of Work: Heads Up Sprinklers was recommended by Ted Nichols of Focal Point Landscaping. We had several issues, one of which could have ended up with our having to have part of our patio cut away. When our pool was remodeled and our deck reshaped they laid the deck over 3 valves that control our backyard irrigation. Unfortunately one of those valves stuck on. They came out and evaluated the problem, worked on it and fixed it without having to destroy part of our decking.

Response from Heads Up Sprinkler Co.
This member had a memorable sprinkler problem. A pool company had decided to pour concrete decking on top of sprinkler valves, rendering them inaccessible. The homeowner never noticed, until the zone had stopped working! So many times we see something like this. Once, it was a stone mason installing a beautiful flower bed border and instead of moving a sprinkler head, the mason entombed it in the wall. Nobody thought anything of it, until the head didn’t work anymore! There are lots of beautiful outdoor landscapes and living changes we as homeowners decide upon -- pools, decks, fencing, flower bed borders, enlarging beds, changing the shape of a bed, enlarging the driveway, the list goes on. The advice we’d like to share, try to imagine the impact of each choice. Sprinklers are buried and seldom come into the thought process until the beautiful landscape begins to die. Find a trusted irrigation professional to help sift through that part of the project during the designing phase. Waiting until the end of the project increases the cost of the repair, reroutes or modifications needed. Heads Up tries to right the wrongs, fix what you have and do it right the first time. This member was fortunate that we are still flexible enough to lay flat on the pool decking, twist our bodies into odd contortions and still manage to wiggle underneath the concrete slab to replace a valve. Not everyone can manage that, but we try our best to do what it takes!
