Roger that. Joe is dependable and reasonably priced. He checks our system every six months, including all irrigation heads, making sure they're working right, and replaces those that need it.

I use FertiGator. So far so good.

ACI - they taught me everything I know about the irrigation system. It’s easy - just ask a couple of questions. Even if you don’t do anything yourself, you’ll understand how this simple system works.

ACI. no need to go anywhere else. Come quarterly.

Irrigation

Very reliable and quick service. Offers yearly maintenance contract or can call as needed. Hunter also cleans out the donuts during his irrigation check.

Artisan Irrigation (407) 256-7696 (part of what was once called Luke’s Landscape).
They just opened up their irrigation division. Austin is the man. He is very thorough and knowledgeable…polite and shows you were you can save money. Highly recommend.

American Irrigation 407-910-2111 - excellent service and honest.

Fishers of men, if you look on your irrigation control box there’s probably a sticker on it on the outside or if you open it they’ll probably be one in there.

Based on this thread, I called ACI. They may be good, but they are way more expensive than Massey. They wanted to charge me $85 just to come out and see if they could maintain my system. That was a non-starter. Also, they said it would cost $360 to replace my 3-zone controller.

WOW! $360 to replace a 3-zone controller? You can do it yourself for about $40.

Sorry, retiredguy, I should have mentioned ACI is not cheap - after the pandemic their prices really went up. But since I learned how to control my irrigation including all heads and the rain gauge, and cleaning, I won’t need them again for a long time. But when they come out, they do a very good job and they stand behind their work.

Thanks.

One comment is that, if "cleaning" means flushing out the plastic sprinkler head filters, I have found that the best thing to do is to just throw them away. I never understood why you need a filter to protect a $2 sprinkler head. The sprinklers operate better without the filter.

Massey - can't recommend them

I use Massey for lawn service. Contracted when I first got here for quarterly sprinkler maintenance. That was expensive enough. Then it seemed that every time they came out, they wanted to replace (Not just adjust) something. We finally cancelled and just call someone when something isn't working.

Watch a Hunter YouTube video and go to Ace in Wildwood. They will give you hands on training and advice. Most of the maintenance is simple
