Irrigation Recommendation
 
Shout out to Marc, owner of On The Marc Irrigation. We had a problem with one of our zones. Saw a recommendation for Marc on Next Door. We called him and he came out, diagnosed and fixed our problem. He also checked all of our other zones. He was thorough, efficient, very friendly and reasonably priced. Will continue to use Marc in the future. If you need irrigation help, give him a call.

When you say reasonably priced, about how much was the charge and how long was her there? I'm sure he's a good recommendation but just curious.

Me too. What does "reasonably priced" mean? I pay Massey $40 per quarter to inspect and adjust my irrigation system. During the last inspection, the guy found 3 sprinklers leaking from underground and replaced them for $20 each. If it is just a few broken nozzles, there is no charge. That is what I call reasonably priced. How much did The Marc Irrigation charge?

We seem to like our toys. The Villages been here for roughly 12 years. Lawn care? First time in my life that the guy that mowed my lawn was not ME. In fact in high school I had a lawn mowing. snow shoveling business. Probably not much potential for snow shoveling in the villages.

Aside. sprinklers. I used to used a Melnore sprinkler,the type with the bar that goes back and forth. Mine was at least 25 years old and still working. For toys they make timers that simply thread onto the faucet. I did buy one. OOPS left out in the winter it freezes and cracks. Also not a Villages problem.

Your deal with Massy IS very reasonable. That 20 each is probably what the parts cost. I expect what you pay is in addition to,other work you pay for

I found the best was way to repair any irrigation problems was to ask irrigation store up on highway 301
that sell irrigation supply's for recommendations.

Good start to find a honest and reasonable one anyway.
