It's very Important Decision

The success of your irrigation system depends largely on the contractor you choose to install it. A contractor's expertise and specialized skills are crucial in determining your system's efficiency and long-term reliability. In fact, how your irrigation system is designed and installed will make the difference between a system that is reliable and keeps your lawn green and healthy, and one that is troublesome, wastes water and leaves your lawn looking brown and unhealthy. It's a big decision, but choosing the right contractor isn't as difficult as it may seem. Here are a few tips that will help you select a contractor who will guarantee a job well done.

Be sure to ask the following questions:

• Is the company a Certified Irrigation Contractor?
• Is the contractor a full-time irrigation contractor or is this something they are doing on the "side"?
• Will a licensed plumber be installing all interior plumbing requirements including a backflow preventer?
• Are they covered under the Workers' Compensation Act?
• Are they fully insured to install irrigation systems?
• Are they a member of Landscape Ontario?
• Are they a Raidbird Select Contractor?
• How long have they been in business locally and can they give you references from jobs they installed not only a year ago but from 5-10 years ago?
• Is the office staffed during normal business hours to answer your call?

You get exactly what you pay for, realize that poorly installed system is worse than not having a system at all.
