Choosing an Irrigation Contractor

Picture
The success of your irrigation system depends largely on the Barrie 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. Lakelands Irrigation, Certified Rain Bird Contractor, proudly serves Barrie, Innisfil, Alliston, Collingwood, Blue Mountains, Wasaga Beach, Orillia, Penetang, Midland, and Georgian Bay.  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?

Please realize, you get exactly what you pay for!  A poorly installed sprinkler system is worse than not having a system at all.  As your approved contractor, Earle Graham, Owner of Lakelands Irrigation, guarantees quality products, workmanship and service!
