Sprinkler System Installation and Repairs
The best solution for a healthy lawn and garden area is to properly supply an adequate amount of water. In order to help you maintain this need, we assist in getting the ball rolling by recommending and installing a state-of-the-art sprinkler system.
We also offer checking, repairing, and the maintenance of the following:

Eco-friendly Irrigation System Installation and Repairs
Season and weather are the two primary concerns when it comes to irrigation needs. Certain weather patterns, depending on area, have the potential to require annual attention.
By using automatic controllers to supply water for the appropriate weather requirements, watering shall be scheduled depending on the plant materials, and seasonal needs.
- Typically, watering is best done at night or early morning if the system is automatic, unless owner decides otherwise.
- If any damages to the irrigation system occur, and have been the cause of the Contractor while carrying out maintenance operations, [Sender.Company] will repair these damages, free of charge.
- If irrigation equipment appears faulty, vandalized, or accidentally damaged by others, it will be reported promptly to the owner.
- Cost of labor and material for repair is an additional charge, and will be paid for by the owner.
- In the event of an emergency, repairs or adjustments, other than regularly scheduled visits, a small charge will be applied.
Note: In certain circumstances, there may be local watering restrictions.
