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.

Not impressed. Just turned on the system zones and said 'yup, they all work'. Did not attempt to clean any sprinkler heads not even adjust any. As he was leaving, even said it was a shame to even charge us for this service.

Great and we will continue to use this service
Description of Work: Fixed all our problems with sprinkler heads. On the following visit installed a new control system for our sprinklers. We love John "The Lawn Sprinkler Guy" he has been back to our house several times after our Grandson ran over the sprinkler heads. He has been very busy this summer and sometimes I have to wait a week or two but sometimes he comes over right away. He is our "go to guy" for our sprinklers.

I was extremely dissatisfied with the service I was provided. The only reason this was not an F rating is John showed up on time and was pleasant. However, as noted in the sevice provided, John showed up twice and never fixed anything. I had to book several weeks in advance to get him out for the first visit. He came out and performed what I thought was a decent job of checking my system. He identified heads that needed replacing but then, because he couldn't fix the non-working zone, he opted to leave without fixing anything. Two weeks later, after several phone calls, he returned to fix the zone that was not working. He showed up on time the second time, brought the tool, but was unsuccessful in finding the valve in the yard so that he could fix it. I'm not sure why, perhaps to save me money, he told me to start probing around in my yard to find the valve and then call him to come back out and fix it. That was the end of it. I didn't call him back and he didn't follow up. So for my $50, I got the battery replaced in my controller box (I even provided the battery), a zone that still didn't work and sprinkler heads that need replacing (they just stick and stay up after coming on but thought that it wouldn't cost much to replace since he was already here). I subsequently called another company, they came out and found the valve for the non-working zone (also identified the other six zones for me) and repaired it. Took about an hour and a half. Hate to write such a negative review because John was a nice guy, but I can't recommend him because he couldn't/wouldn't fix anything in two trips.
Description of Work: The service was to check my sprinkler system via an Angie's list special. John showed up on time and checked out the system. He identified several sprinkler heads that needed replacing. In addition, I had one zone that was not working. He did a preliminary check of that and determined that he needed an additional tool to search for the valve/solinoid to repair it. Rather than fixing the already idenitified heads, he opted to leave all repairs until he returned with the line finder. He came back at a later date with the line finder, and spent time looking but was unsuccessful. At that point, he left and suggested I take a stick and search the area to see if I could find the valve. So after two visits, nothing was fixed.

Response from The Lawn Sprinkler Guy
I remember this, i did replace one head by the sidewalk that leaking. i even killed a wasp nest for him by the garage. i was not able to find the valve, but i went out twice and never charged him any additional charge even thought i was there for a few hours. i did find the other valve for him and showed him how to use the system and how to program it. I understand him being upset and i am sorry that i was not able to fix it...

I called about an appointment. They had a wait list of 4 weeks .Okay. After the 4 weeks, they called to say that the truck was not working and had to re-shedule us. Because of where I live, I was informed that I had to wait another 2 weeks. I reminded the woman at the office that I had already paid for the tune-up. I saw no reason for having to wait so long again. She told me, rudely, that it didn't matter because they were given 90 days to perform the service. It was when they tried to re-schedule us again for the 3rd time that I became insistent. I firmly told that that was enough.They'd better come to finish the job for which they were already paid for. Once the lawn guy was here, he was just rude. He tried to show me how to replace the heads. He kept saying how "easy" it was. If I could replace them myself, I wouldn't have to put up with people like that.
Description of Work: It was supposed to be a "tune-up" of my sprinkler. THe line, heads, and water pressure were checked.

I had a hard time getting in touch with him. He did come out initially but didn't have the tools he needed for the job. We set up multiple appointments that he didn’t show up for. I was able to get in touch with his mother and she said he had hurt his back. I wound up using someone else to get my sprinklers fixed.

I purchased an Angie's Deal from the Sprinkler Guy to inspect and adjust my system. I knew I had a leak in the system and asked for that repair at the same time. The Sprinkler Guy came out, checked things out and returned a few days later to take the job. Good work, fair price.

When John arrived, he first inspected the water meter. He showed me how to see if any water was being used or not. If I had had a leak, the red triangle on the meter would have been moving. It wasn't moving. He turned on the hose and the triangle began to move. So -- no leak. He then inspected the sprinkler stations. Found a bad sprinkler head, but that would not have accounted for the water bill. Sprinkler head fixed. John then reviewed the settings on the sprinkler control system and discovered that an additional program had been set at 4 hours per station. This was in addition to my regular schedule on another program. He reset the sprinkler control, eliminating the extra program,and things should be okay now. Really appreciate this knowledgeable, professional and honest service provider. I will certainly continue using him.
Description of Work: I had an astonishingly high water bill in September. I was not sure if I had a leak or a sprinkler malfunction, I called John first. He has been providing me with sprinkler service for quite a while.

He did come out promptly initially, but it took a while to get the diagnosis, and longer to get the quotes. He charged me to come out for an estimate. I've since emailed him asking for a refund per the recommendation of the other service providers I've worked with, and I haven't gotten any response in regards to this.
Description of Work: He came out to diagnose the issue of my lawn sprinkler system. He gave a broad range estimate and grossly over quoted me for something I had done for significantly less. This diagnosis was incomplete and incorrect in some places.

Response from The Lawn Sprinkler Guy
I'm sorry that she found my estimates to be to high, i did go through every zone and made a list of what was wrong. She chose to go with someone else that was able to do it for a lower price after i found all the problems. Yes i gave her a lower price to check all four of her rental houses. So i worked with her as much as i could. But after she found someone to do the work at a lower cost, she asked me for a refund. I did what we agreed on which was to give her an estimate and let her know what is wrong with the systems. I try my best to help out as much as i can. again i am sorry that it worked out this way and she is unhappy.

As usual, work went great. It began on time, was thorough and showed the operation working very well. Mr. Flores explained the work and any changes he was making clearly and completely. His knowledge and professionalism are greatly appreciated.
Description of Work: Every year, we have the lawn sprinkler guy do the maintenance on our system. This year, Angies List had a special on the service, which we used. The system is run, checked for leaks, heads cleaned or replaced where needed, nozzles redirected, and pipes replaced if broken for an additional cost.

I joined Angie's List in 2008 and John Flores was one of the first providers I contacted. I have used him for all my sprinkler needs since then and have given his name to friends and neighbors who have also used him on a regular basis. John works quickly & efficiently but takes the time to listen to all my concerns and answers all my questions. Over the years, I've had him replace valves as needed and replace my controller. I've found his prices to be better than others I've contacted. I purchased the Angie's List Deal for a sprinkler tune up for $49 earlier this year, but was in no rush to use it since my system was working well. John & I made plans for him to come on 9/27 (no definite time). He called when he was nearby and we agreed on a time. John arrived when he said he would. I didn't have any major problems, but had several sprinklers I thought needed to be adjusted. He corrected the spray patterns on those I pointed out, as well as several others when he saw that parts of my lawn weren't getting enough water. He also raised several of my heads with extenders so they would do a better job of covering the area with water and charged me an extra $10 for parts ( very reasonable). John is popular and busy, so he can't always get to customers as quickly as he would like. I let him know when my request is something that can wait (like this tune up), because I know that if I really need him he'll make every effort to get to me as soon as possible.
Description of Work: John did a "checkup" on my sprinkler system. He readjusted the spray pattern of several heads and put "extenders" on several heads to improve their spray coverage.

Our lawn sprinklers were leaking after they were shut off. John Flores tested the system to isolate the problem valve. Then he dug up the valve, drove to the store, bought a replacement and installed it. The first valve didn't work, so he replaced it with a second. Then he looked at every sprinkler head, made certain they were working and aimed where we wanted them aimed. He showed me how to aim the heads so we wouldn't need a service call if our needs changed in a minor way such as that. His $125 charge included the new valve. I would have happily paid $200-$225 for this high-quality work from a fellow who clearly takes pride in what he has learned and can do.

Great job as always. I've used John twice before, once to check out and repair the system when I was buying the house, later to install rain sensor and repair a broken line. Works really fast; very knowledgeable and personable. Always offers cost-savings suggestions. This time advised me where, what and how much re: getting head extensions to correct sunken heads and allow them to rise above grass. Would have cost $70-$80 to fix for me. Only downside is length of time to get an appointment, which is due to demand for John's superb services. It's worth the wait. I'm scheduling next year's checkup now. Oh, my cost was low because of Angie's List Big Deal coupon for the system checkup.
Description of Work: Checked entire system and adjusted head coverage where needed ; replaced broken head, fixed valve leak that was unknown and causing water to run entire system cycle rather than just that station's time.
