Finding the Best Irrigation System Installer Near You

Ensuring your lawn or garden is adequately watered is key to maintaining its lush, healthy landscape. An irrigation system can be a game-changer, but it's crucial to have it installed by a professional to avoid any costly mistakes. Here's how to find the best irrigation system installer in your area.

Research Local Irrigation Installers

Start by conducting an online search for "irrigation system installation companies near me", "best sprinkler system installers near me" or something similar to compile a list of potential installers. Check their websites and read customer reviews to gauge the quality of their work and customer service. Look for companies that specialize in irrigation systems and, for an added layer of capability, look for companies that also do landscaping. Irrigation work is disruptive to your existing landscape and knowing how to put everything back together is an important part of a successful installation. Just make sure that the landscaping companies that claim to do irrigation work hold the appropriate credentials.

Check Credentials

A reputable installer should have certified irrigation technicians on staff, as well as the appropriate insurance coverage. This protects you in the event of an accident during installation and ensures that the system is installed to industry best practices. Don't hesitate to ask for proof of credentials before hiring an installer and look for a minimum of CIT 1 and CIT 2 certification.

Assess Their Expertise

During the quote process, assess the installer's knowledge. They should be able to recommend the best system for your needs and explain how it will be installed. They should also provide a clear timeline for completion.

Experience matters when it comes to professional installation. Find out how long the company has been in business and ask for examples of previous installations. More experienced companies are likely to provide a higher quality installation and better long-term support.

Evaluate Their Customer Service

Irrigation contractors can be a rough bunch and the quality of customer service can significantly impact your installation experience. Observe how the company communicates with you. Are they prompt, courteous, and professional? Do they take the time to answer your questions thoroughly?

Review their proposal

The proposal you receive should clearly lay out the scope of work including details of what materials are being installed, how many controllers, valves, and heads are used. It should include some explanation of installation steps and specifications. It should be a detailed document that communicates everything that you are receiving for the proposed price. Most importantly, the proposal should include a warranty on parts and labour of 1 year from completion.

By following these steps, you can find a reliable and skilled irrigation system installer near you. Take your time to do thorough research and don't rush your decision. A professional installation will ensure your irrigation system works efficiently and lasts for years to come.
