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.

John did a great job on my sprinkler system. Contractors had damaged the manifold-like lines that went into a the valves controlling the various irrigation areas. John was able to rebuild the entire manifold while saving the four water valves. This kept the overall repair cost to a minimum. Great job all the way around.
Description of Work: Repaired manifold-type plumbing set-up on my sprinkler system.

John was great. Showed up perfectly on time (with an advance call to let me know he was on the way). Identified the issue right way and walked me through everything he did. Even with having to go get a part he was done inside an hour. Would absolutely use him again and recommend.

First, John worked us in much earlier than any of the other companies that I spoke with. I was not home when John came by but he did a great job and even taught my wife how to operate the system.

Repaired zone that was not working. Did not do a thorough job on adjusting sprinkler heads. Missed several sprinkler heads that were off, covered, over covering, or broken. Was in a rush due to cold front coming in as he was working.

Response from The Lawn Sprinkler Guy
I think we had a misunderstanding, I was only asked to fix the zone that was not turning on by the driveway and I did that. there was also a zone in the back that had a loose wire and worked on that one too, I did a quick run through twice (13 zones) to make sure everything was coming on before and after i fixed the zone. I said you need more work on the system but he said don't worry about now we can do that later. so my fault for not following up him, i do try my best to help out all my customers

Several sprinkler heads in front and back lawn areas were leaking water even though the corresponding valves were shut off. Sprinkler guy assessed the situation and said that shut off sprinkler valve by the street needed to be replaced. He removed it and replaced it with a ball valve. Problem solved!! Our water bills are drastically lower!! He is knowledgeable and friendly. Did the job at a fair price. Would definitely use him again!!

John REALLY knows what he is doing. He got right to work. He wasted no time, but also paid attention to my questions and concerns. I think he ended up making three trips in the course of fixing my problem. The first day he was probably only at my house for 20 minutes, but accomplished a lot. He trotted down to the property line and, using a screwdriver, promptly found a valve that had been completely buried for at least 15 years and used it to stop the leak. He then quickly assessed the leaking sprinkler zone valve, and said that it would be best to wait for the ground to dry out before making repairs. He returned several days later, as promised, and made the necessary repairs. He was prompt and professional. I would recommend him to anyone. It might be possible to find a lower price, but, to me, it is worth it to have the work done by someone who is very knowledgeable, professional, reliable, and competent. I like to support small business people who do their jobs quickly and well.
Description of Work: Dug up, rebuilt, and reinstalled an old electric valve that was leaking; Immediately found a buried valve that I didn't know existed and used it to cut off sprinkler water supply to let ground dry up around leak without interfering with the house water supply; discussed options regarding sprinkler head repair / replacement.

He gave us an estimate to fix the sprinkler and he did not get back to us. He did not do the system correctly and he was supposed to get back to us. It was a deal. There was no follow up. He is capable as far as swapping the sprinkler head but it was over priced from what we got to know. He did not finish the job.
Description of Work: He replaced a couple of heads and programmed the sprinkler but it did not work.

I did call back and left a message, my fault for not call following up more. I charge him $125.00 not $180.00. I replaced several heads front and back yard and even capped off one head in the back yard.

John is a super nice man. He is very personable and knows what he is doing. He was on time and worked hard to complete the repairs/adjustments in a short amount of time. His charge was extremely reasonable. I highly recommend him.
Description of Work: After the last storm, my lawn sprinkler system had stopped working. John made an examination of the system and got it to working. He also ran the system and examined all 9 zones. He found a water leak that had been caused when a support stake had been driven in the ground during a tree planting. John dug down, found the source of the leak and made the repair. He also replaced one sprinkler head that was defective and also required some digging. John replaced another sprinkler head that had been shooting out into the street and cleared another of some calcium build up. John suggested I divide my water times between morning and evening on my water day ( water approximately the same amount of time, but divide it up). He programed the system to perform that.

John called 1st, and showed up a little ahead of schedule. He added 2 heads, fixed a broken pipe, fixed 1 broken head, adjusted everything to cover the areas better and showed me how to use my controller. He also made sure i was in compliance with current watering regulations. He was very professional, worked fast and was personable as he explained what he was doing.

It was a positive experience. It worked out good. I do not remember exactly when the guy came out because that was a couple of years ago but he was okay. He seemed to be in a big hurry and that was the only thing that I did not like. I would have liked him to explain a little bit more of what he was doing because he was changing the direction of the sprinkler heads and changing some sprinkler heads. I wish that he had more time to tell me exactly how he was doing that so that I could learn. Anyway, he did the job and he was nice and everything but if he could have taken more time, that would have been more of a help to me. I do not think that I would use him again in the future.

John Flores did work for me when I purchased a deal package a couple of years ago. He was called back to do more work for me because I felt he was fair, competent and very patient with me. I like to do things myself and he wasn't pushy or overbearing with me, he listened to me, did the work I wanted him to do and gave me a good impression of a professional contractor. I called him back last month to do what I had said I would do myself and didn't do. He fixed broken heads, unclogged others and made sure all sprinklers were working well. He made recommendations to make my system more efficient and wasn't pushy about his recommendations, I plan on calling him back to do the recommended work later this year. He is a good contractor and I highly recommend him. He was hired by my neighbor to do his work as well, as I have recommended him to another neighbor.
Description of Work: I called John Flores back to help me with the sprinkler system, I had some broken heads and in some areas, too many in one area. He made recommendations on how to better configure my old system.
