Description of Work: Installed 5 French drains and one dry river bed to move rain water away from the house and out building. They performed more work for less money than 3 other businesses. I highly recommend them for irrigation; drainage problems; landscaping; and, hardscape. You get your moneys worth!

Did what they said they would do.
Description of Work: We are very pleased with our new lawn irrigation system. They used our existing pump and well which saved us money. The crew were all very polite and professional. They completed the job as scheduled with minimal disruption of our lawn. We would recommend Gentle Rain to anyone needing lawn irrigation.

A GREAT JOB DONE
Description of Work: Great job! I would highly recommend this company. We have a pretty large yard and Gentle Rain installed an irrigation system with ease (for me anyway). Love the system so much we asked theM back to add another area of the yard! These folks are a delight to work with, the office staff, the guys who installed and of course the owner of the company! THANKS AGAIN GENTLE RAIN...

The service man answered a lot of my questions. It took awhile for them to schedule an appointment but they did come out when they were suppose to. I got a lot more for my money than what I expected. I'd recommend them to anybody. They were very professional and finished the job in a day.
Description of Work: They did some work on our existing sprinkler system. They removed four sprinkler heads out of our garden bed and raised 1 head that was buried. They also installed five new sprinkler heads.

Gentle Rain Irrigation installed high quality sprinklers. We have not had any problems with excessive leakage or broken pipes since the installation was done. I thought that they did a great job of installing them.
Description of Work: They installed a sprinkler system in my front yard and on the side of my home. Our yard size is 120x110 square feet.
