Default Irrigation/sprinklers

I, and many of my neighbors, are in desperate need of a knowledgeable, reliable IRRIGATION/sprinkler service person or company, who is taking new clients and services Monarch Grove. Please, only recommendations from personal experience.

We’ve used ACI Irrigation and were happy with them. Have also heard good things about Water Wizards.

When we moved in we used Massey. In the year we dealt with them had highest water usage and sent 5 different guys who set up our zones 5 different ways.

Asked them to send a supervisor who would do it as we wanted and they ignored me. Asked them to tell me next time they would come so I could see how they did it and that never happened either.

After a year I said goodbye and have a neighbor who knows what he is doing handle our system. I would recommend him but he has told me repeatedly he has enough business

If you have a Hunter controller, download and print the user manual from the Hunter website. Read it and set up and adjust the controller yourself. There are so many different controllers that even the best technicians will not be familiar with your specific one. I use Massey for regular maintenance of the outside sprinklers, but I do not allow them to touch the controller. They come once per quarter for $40, and they are available to make repairs when needed for a nominal charge. If you don't have a regular maintenance agreement, you may have trouble getting a timely repair at a reasonable cost.

We've used Simply Sprinklers 3 times, Brent Mauriell 352-250-2573. Highly recommend. He accesses and then tells you what he suggests.

F.L.I. Irrigation they are truly irrigation experts. I have been using them for 12 years. The prices are fair when you call you will probably have to leave a message on the answering machine, but they definitely will get back to you in a day or two set up an appointment and keep the appointment. you can get information about them in the classified sections of the local paper. Aside from regular maintenance on the irrigation system, they are experts at detecting and fixing leaks which I did have a leak somewhere underground in the past and they found it promptly and repaired it.

Good question I am still waiting on Massey to come out and adjust the sprinklers that are not working properly. The woman who initially came by to help and give me a sprinkler assessment seemed knowledgeable and was very helpful and I have learned how to operate and adjust my sprinklers through the box. I called after 3 weeks and she said they were backlogged but should be coming out soon. I plan to learn more about these issues since I'd rather do things myself when applicable. If it doesn't work with Massey at least I see some alternative companies in this thread.
How I found them was through another person who pays them to quarterly check all their sprinklers to make sure they aren't getting clogged. One of mine clogged and spouted a gusher. About half of the rest aren't putting out properly and may be slightly clogged. I have since put in 24 donuts myself to clear the grass from around them. I am learning about sprinklers in the meantime since it's my first home sprinkler system.

We use Water Wizards. Phillip Pearson is their technician. Very nice person that checked our system and then made recommendations. Might take a few weeks for them to come out. This is the busy season. I think worth the wait.

Why don’t you do it yourself? It’s very easy to clean each head or even replace the whole sprinkler. 99% of the time you have issues with a clogged head or damaged sprinkler.
My suggestion, get rid of the hunter controller and get a smart controller. I’ve used the orbit b-hyve controller in my last 3 houses and have converted a dozen of my friends and neighbors to it. This controller is around $50-$60 and takes 5 mins to replace the hunter. It will take you 30-60 mins to configure the controller, all thru your phone. Now your phone/tablet can control the controller. You setup this controller to get realtime info about the weather from a local weather station or your own personal weather station. I decided to put in a personal weather station so my b-hyve controller get more accurate realtime info to adjust the timing of each station and when to water. This controller will save your many gallons of water per month over using a dumb controller like the hunter.
Don’t fall for getting the Wand wifi addition to your hunter controller. It costs around $150-$200 and I went thru 2 of them and they were flakey so I sent them back and sold the hunter.
