Finding the right irrigation company can make all the difference in the world when it comes to maintaining a lush, green lawn. Whether you're installing a new system or just upgrading an existing one, asking the right questions can ensure you're making an informed decision. Here are some essential questions to ask that will help you choose the best irrigation company for your needs.

1. How Long Does It Take to Install an Irrigation System?

The first question you should always ask is how long the process typically takes them to complete. In our experience, the total time it takes to install a lawn irrigation system is roughly one to two days. This involves creating trenches for any necessary underground piping, installing the piping, wiring, sprinkler heads, and valves, and connecting your sprinkler system to your water system.

2. What Type of Systems Do You Specialize In?

Different lawns have different needs, and the type of irrigation system you choose can make a significant impact. According to World Metrics, the average American lawn is more than 10,000 square feet. Larger lawns may benefit from advanced systems, so understanding the company’s expertise is crucial for optimal results.

3. Do You Offer Maintenance Services?

Ongoing maintenance is key to ensuring your irrigation system remains efficient and functional. Ask the company if they offer routine checks, adjustments, and repairs. A company that provides comprehensive maintenance services can save you time and money in the long run by preventing costly repairs.

4. Does an Irrigation System Add Value to Your Home?

Many realtors we've encountered state that homes with healthy lawns and landscaping will sell for more money compared to homes with no landscaping at all. We've seen that these realtors coach their clients to improve their home's curb appeal with sprinkler services before putting their homes on the market.

Choosing the right irrigation company involves more than just picking a name out of a hat. By asking crucial questions, you can ensure your lawn gets the care it needs. With these questions in mind, you'll be well-prepared to make an informed decision that keeps your lawn healthy and vibrant.
