Default Irrigation

Looking for suggestions for someone to look at my irrigation. Some heads are very deep and barely clearing the grass and others have tipped one way or another and need to be straightened. I have had James Baumgartner but recently read that he has retired. Any suggestions. Thank you

Yea, if you are willing to wait until December or January call Chip at 352-516-2281 (just listen to the message you get if you call). His son now works with/for him and Junior Chip might come out by November or so.

You heads have not sunk down, the grass/thatch/etc has moved the growing tips of the grass up.

I suggest you contact Adam Neusbaum 352-342-1384 ([url=http://www.compostcowmanure.com/]) and schedule a de-thatching after October 1. He also offers some other services including aeration, leveling/adjusting sprinklers. This spring he turned my 7 year old lawn around.

same, he does not do contracts but does one time fixes as he is a one guy and a truck type of emergency service. . . . therefore he is a quick response but not cheap, but small and convenient. . . however, a sprinkler head replacement is not complicated, but adjusting might be a bit wet or stinky, but a worthwhile home skill to learn to save a bit of money if needed

if you need extensive rebuilding, etc, i would use some one else

Chip Parrish has a very full schedule and deservedly so. I also recommend Brent Mauriell 352-250-2573. His business card says it all.
