Joohee Kim2024-10-06Twins, Matt and Rob, were very knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend them to anybody.![]()
Robert Peters2024-10-06Rob and Matt did a great job winterizing my sprinklers. During the inspection Rob noticed a leaking feed from the main line. He was very polite and professional in explaining the situation. So we got that fixed very quickly and proceed with the winterization. I'm very pleased with their work and will definitely call them again to fix an unrelated hose faucet issue that I pointed out during our discussion.![]()
Charles Williams2024-09-27I would like to say I had a great experience with affordable sprinklers and meeting with Cliff very friendly and informative. Very personable and professional. I scheduled my appointment date Josh and his crew was on time and went straight to work. Josh gave me a tutorial on the system. I appreciate you guys . Thanks you. Charles W.![]()

Mark Cousino2024-09-21I bid four companies for my new lawn irrigation system and although they were not the cheapest, their proposal was the most thorough and comprehensive. Cliff was responsive to my initial inquiry, arrived at my home timely and answered all the questions I had regarding the scope and details of his proposed design. Josh and his installation team showed up as scheduled, worked non-stop throughout the day, left my lawn in an acceptable condition following install even with the large amount of big tree roots on the property and finally took all the time that was needed to dial in and tune the heads/control system while answering all the questions I had as the owner of a new installation. Early indication is that system is well designed and that Affordable was the right choice.![]()
Matt Schick2024-09-12I was attempting to get some grass growing manually watering twice a day when my wife said we should get a sprinkler system next year. Shortly after she went out of town for a week so I called Affordable Sprinklers and left a phone message about 48 hours later Cliff was at my house, designed a 14 zone system with 6 garden zones and 8 grass zones and offered to start the following Wednesday. Cliff made sure I understood the design and alternatives. My wife returned on the weekend and Wednesday Cliff arrived and flagged the sprinkler and zone locations, while Josh and the crew started installing. They were awesome and had all the pipes in the ground by Wednesday evening. Thursday was spent installing the heads and connecting to the plumbing. 2 hours on Friday completed the finishing touches, cleanup and system demonstration. Working with Cliff, Josh and the crew was a fantastic experience. I look forward to continuing to work with Affordable Sprinklers (start up and shut down) for years to come.![]()

M. McD2024-06-24I have had services provided by Rob, Mike, and Matt at different times and they all went out of their way to make sure everything was properly attended to and if I was happy with their work. They are the nicest people to deal with and they went out of their way to be sure I was HAPPY WITH EVERYTHING, and I was.![]()
Ed Brezinsky2024-06-21Affordable Sprinkers was outstanding. I hired them to add 3 zones to my existing system. I called for an estimate and Cliff came out the next day and quoted me a great price. The crew came out (on time) as promised and did an outstanding job. I'm glad I called Affordable Sprinklers and you will be glad too.
