Lawn Sprinkler - Nothing beats the curb appeal of a well-manicured lawn and perfectly placed landscaping. But to get those fantastic features to stay in your yard, you’ll need a strategically placed irrigation system. While doing it yourself might sound like the best way to get great savings, the truth of the matter is that it can be nearly impossible to get every watering area working like a well-oiled machine without the right experience. That’s why hiring a professional lawn sprinkler contractor is the only way to get the perfect irrigation system for your property.
References play an important part in finding the right irrigation contractor for your project. Without a long list of satisfied customers, your potential lawn sprinkler contractor may not be up to your standards. Always get at least 3-5 contactable references before asking for a bid. This way you can visit the site yourself and ask the homeowner personally what they thought of the job that was performed.
Getting multiple bids from multiple lawn sprinkler or irrigation contractors is a must when doing any home improvement project, but for irrigation contractors this can especially be true. Since many regions don’t require that lawn sprinkler contractors carry a license, anyone can call themselves an irrigation specialist. That’s why receiving multiple bids is so important because it allows you to best compare apples to oranges. If one lawn sprinkler contractor’s price is too high or too low compared to the other bids, it could be a sign that they are leaving out important parts of the project.
Here are some important items to consider when receiving bids from potential lawn sprinkling services:
Always ask for a scale drawing of the project and verify sprinkler heads, mainlines, trunk lines, valves and zones
Make sure you’re getting full head to head coverage between sprinklers and watering zones
Ask lawn sprinkler contractors for a cost breakdown list of materials and labor to help compare bids effectively
Receive written information or brochures on the products and materials that will be used for your irrigation system
Get any guarantees or warrantees in writing
Find out if prospective lawn sprinkler contractors offer free winterization and/or spring start up maintenance
