Massey checks the system 4 times per year for $40 each visit, and does minor repairs for a very minimal charge. They are usually available to make a repair within a day or so. They may not be the best, but they do provide peace of mind that you have someone who is accountable on a regular basis. The problem with sprinkler systems is that they can start to leak at any time, and no irrigation expert can prevent it from happening.

True. My neighbor had an "expert" come over to repair one valve in the controller box and got sold on replacing all 4. Cost $700. Massey will check and repair sprinkler parts, sometimes at no cost. I wouldn't use their lawn cutting service though. Get yourself a dedicated lawn cutting service.
