Urgent! Yard Sprinkler System needed installed
Do you know of a reputable company to install a front and backyard sprinkler
system? Need reasonable price too. I am in South Austin. Is it better to have a well or city water? Thanks for input. Please let me know why you recommend a company to help me decide. |

Do you know of a reputable company to install a front and backyard sprinkler system? Key Sprinkler and Phoenix are both reputable. I got estimates from both a few years ago and went with Key. Phoenix sent out a 20-year-old kid who measured my yard, then went away. A few days later they mailed me a map of my yard with the sprinkler system diagrammed out, along with model numbers and a cost estimate. I didn't understand much of it except for the cost estimate. Key sent Mr. Key's adult son, who stood there with a clipboard in his hand and wrote notes as he explained to me what he would install and why. He talked about the slope of the yard, told me what check-valves are and where and why I would need them. He showed me how the yard would be broken up into zones, and where the 90 degree, 180 degree, and 360 degree spray heads would go. He also told me not to get the automatic rain-sensing devices because they're not reliable. After he left I knew enough to go back and understand the papers I had gotten from Phoenix. I don't remember how their prices compared, but I went with Key because I knew his sprinkler layout was based on a knowledge of my lawn. The guy at Phoenix who designed the system for my estimate had never actually seen my lawn, and had done the design based only on someone else's measurements. I've had a few problems with the system, but their service guys have been good, and always explain what they're doing. The last time I had a problem with leaky sprinkler heads, I took them apart and cleaned them myself, and when that didn't work, I went down to Home Depot and bought replacement heads and installed them myself. This is the time of year to call for a sprinkler system. If you call in the spring you'll find yourself on a 5-8 week waiting list. |
