Too many people think that they should just ignore the system, and when it fails, they want to hire a one time contractor to fix the immediate issue. Often, they have trouble finding an available contractor and they get ripped off. This is not a good plan, especially for a snowbird. Find a permanent irrigation maintenance contractor who will agree to provide regular maintenance and repair.

Be careful with Massey. We are happy with their pesticide guy but irrigation was a disaster. Over a year they came 5 times, 5 different guys doing it 5 different ways. Kept asking them to make appt so I could watch and they never did.
Eventually hired a neighbor who knows these systems very well and he does a much better job.
