Irrigation Contractor Recommendation
 

I just called the Irrigation guy we have been happily using for several years to schedule the annual system tuneup and his message said he is booking six months out. As the great Bill Bilichick says, ability is worthless without availability. Can anyone recommend a good irrigation service provider that is available and services the northern sections of the Villages? Thanks : )

I use Massey for routine irrigation maintenance, which includes repairs as needed. If you only call someone when you have a problem, it will be difficult to get immediate assistance, and the price may be high and unpredictable.

ACI....very detailed and reasonable.
Great technicians.
Excellent after the sale customer service.

My neighbor recently used Joe Tucker, and he was happy with his service and price.

I have Massey coming Monday for the first time.

They have a annual contract for just irrigation head adjustment and replacement.
They will come every 3 months or when needed.

I can't recall the price they quoted me, but I think every 3 month isn't necessary.

They come every quarter and check out the system. They charge 40 dollars for each visit, but if you have an issue, they will come immediately, and do whatever is needed for free or for a reasonable price, if they need to dig something up. You can get a 5 percent discount if you pay in advance for a year. But, I only pay them for each visit on a pay as you go system. If they don't come, they don't get paid. The annual discount is not worth it for me. If you don't have a regular maintenance service like that, you may have difficulty getting someone to come and fix a leak, and you really don't know what they will charge. So, you may end up paying $150 or so to fix a simple leak. For me, it is worth the quarterly charge to know that I have someone to call when I need them, and I don't need to be home when they come. Convenience is worth the cost.

Simply Sprinklers - Brent Mauriell - 352-250-2573 My brother and I both use him. Great guy and responds when needed. He has fixed broken heads and pipes for me and I am pleased with his work.

Who is "they"?

Massey

Agree

I don’t know if anyone would be higher than Massey!

I use Ray McClain, a Village resident. He’s an excellent handyman and does my sprinklers regularly. 352-460-2996.

Massey is probably one of the highest. But, if you wait until you have an underground leak, and call someone who you have never used, they may be too busy, and when they do come, you have no idea what they will charge. I don't know another company who will respond quickly and economically every time you have a problem. Having someone check the system quarterly and respond for repairs can provide peace of mind. My opinion.
