The Lawn Sprinkler Guy

Lawn Irrigation, Plumbing, Lawn Fertilization & Treatment,

About us

Here at The Lawn Sprinkler Guy, I am focused on helping customers save water and helping them understand how to use their irrigation system. Most systems are not programed correctly, most are set to run too long and waste water. I can help you understand how many minutes each zone should have and when to raise or lower the zone time according to the weather. I can set up a water budget so you are able to keep track of water usage and how much it cost per zone and minute to run your system. I have over 20 years in the irrigation field and hold a current Texas state licence in Irrigation.

I have hired John "The Lawn Sprinkler Guy" several times over the past 8-years and each and every time he has done it "right the first time" and I know that I can depend on the quality of his work, price, professionalism, and customer-friendly service. Today was no different, John was on-time and quickly identified all the problems, got them fixed and we are back in operation. Without a doubt, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND John for any sprinkler system repairs, tuneups, etc.

I depend on John entirely for my sprinkler system's maintenance and repair. I've had several emergencies throughout the years, and he comes quickly and takes care of the problem. Yesterday was simply a check-up before summer, and he discovered a broken sprinkler head and replaced it and set the various stations on the timer. I have never been disappointed in his work or professionalism.

I had a leak in one of the sprinkler heads. I called and he came when scheduled, determined what/ how to fix it, did so, I paid him, and everything has been great. I was extremely pleased and would call this company again.

John replaced several sprinkler heads for us. He called the night before to verify the appointment then called the next day to let me know he was on the way. He took the time to explain the system to me and did a great job.

John quickly diagnosed the cause (thankfully the supply line was not broken) and quickly repaired the sprinkler head connection to the supply line. We've used John numerous times in the past several years, and he has consistently been punctual, thoroughly knowledgeable, quick to diagnose and repair sprinkler system malfunctions, and affordable. We'll continue to use and refer him to others.

Billed me $250.00 for the work which I commented sounded high but paid it anyways. Got home to find unused parts laying all over the yard where he worked, and all the spray heads that he fixed were not filled back in with the dirt to support the head, and all heads were exposed and loose and NO heads were raised per what he billed me for. VERY UNHAPPY with his work and was charged as though it was a PRO job. Will never call him back again and DO NOT RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE who is expecting quality work.
Description of Work: Came out and reviewed worked needed, told me he would have to come back which means that I would have to take off work again. I told him to come out and repair what he thought he needed to fix without me there, and bill me appropriately. He came back in about a week, did the work called me and said he replaced 1 bad zone valve, and 7 spray heads and lifted some heads to ground level. .

Response from The Lawn Sprinkler Guy
i did call him the day before I was to come out and he even left me the garage door opener so I can get to the controller. He also forgot to unlock the gate so can work in the back yard. what he is leaving out is that on the first visit I had to locate the valve which was hidden under the grass. I also spent about an hour trying to fix or reset the valve the old valve. he also told me to raise the heads and that he would fill them back in with soil. so a total of three hours and having to dig up cut out and replace the old valve was not that easy it had some tree roots around it. I even offered to go back and fix what ever he didn't like but he said No.

I needed someone to come and identify sprinkler lines so we can tear up the backyard to install a new septic system. My timeline didn't fit with John's schedule but he took the time to explain to me what needed to be done and referred me to another company. I am very grateful!.

John arrived on time and went right to work. He explained the repairs as he was doing them and taught me a good bit about sprinkler repairs. He works very quickly and efficiently--really knows his trade. I highly recommend him. Pricing very fair.
Description of Work: My sprinkler system is about 20 years old and none of the stations were working properly. John located, dug up and rebuilt 4 control valves; he inspected system for leaks/low pressure and replaced more than a dozen sprinkler heads--some were pop-up, some were rotary. He didn't finish until all problem sprinkler heads were located and repaired.

John Flores is very efficient, working quickly to make sprinkler adjustments. He has a good working knowledge of many different systems so he is able to quickly diagnose and resolve problems. He is a very likeable person as well.
Description of Work: Performed a semiannual check-up on my entire sprinkler system. Adjusted heads and checked a sticking valve. Checked the master control and showed me some features of which I was unaware.

Great! He charges by the hour, but he is quick and only fixes what is needed. He knows his stuff from years of experience, and won't lead you on to replace a bunch of stuff because of shoddy diagnostics. He will identify the problem quickly and fix it.

Everything went very well. Both times he arrived when he said he would. Both times he figured out the problem and repaired it for less than I expected. Very professional, appears honest and dependable. Highly recommend.
Description of Work: I have used this provider twice. The first time he diagnosed my sprinkler issues for a new home I purchased with non functioning lawn sprinkler. He figured out exactly what was wrong, obtained the parts and corrected the problems as well as showed me how to use the computerized controls. The next time I accidently damaged one of the sprinkler heads. He came out and repaired it at the appointed time for a reasonable price. I highly recommend this provider and will use him anytime my sprinklers need service.

They called the day before to confirm appointment and the morning of the appointment. John was there exactly on time and went right to work. He promptly identified the problem and fixed it - tested each of my sprinkler zones and observed the spray patterns. He adjusted and/or exchanged sprinkler heads where needed and reset the valves where I had one zone coming on multiple times. He also turned on the rain sensor which had not worked since the house was built three years ago.
Description of Work: Adjusted sprinkler system, reset timers and sensors, changed some sprinkler heads to save water.

Was given a 4-hour window; he called and arrived a bit before the beginning of the window time. He dug up the broken piece, replaced it and the sprinkler head, visually checked other heads and replaced other, ran the "testing" mode and checked function of all heads and their directions. He checked the control, which is very old. The last time he was here, maybe 2 years ago, he said it'd need to be replaced soon, but there was no pressure to do so. He said the same thing this time except now it is "flickering." Again, no pressure to replace; just said to call when it quits. My next-door neighbor and I scheduled him for the same day, approximately same time.
Description of Work: Replaced section of pipe, replaced 2 sprinkler heads, checked all kheadsfor proper flow and direction.
