Just started using Massey for irrigation. In about four months have had four technicians come.

Sprinkler system was not working properly so called them early Thursday morning asking for tech to call me. Late Friday afternoon he knocks on my door.

Showed him problem and he seems to have fixed it. Asked him why he didnt call first and said he didnt get a message to call first. Asked him how he would know why I called if I was not home and he didnt appreciate the question.

Thinking of asking a neighbor to teach me how the system works and how to replace sprinkler heads and doing myself.
I just fired Massey for irrigation. They were only spending about 3 minutes for maintenance, and didn't even run all of the sprinklers. Although, they will come out and fix a sprinkler leak.

I also fired them for pest control because I have never had bugs in my house. I sprayed Ortho Home Defense outside my house and I have my fingers crossed.

Massey just started mowing my grass. They said they would mow every week, but, they only mowed it 2 times in August. I may need to fire them for mowing.
