Irrigation and Drainage

What to look for when selecting an ethical Irrigation and Drainage Company:

1. Check for a permanent place of business. Make sure they are licensed properly.

2. Find out how long the company has been in business. Ask the company to show you proof of Insurance. Ask to see Certificates of liability coverage and workers' compensation insurance.

3. Ask for references. Talk with past customers to see if they were satisfied.

4. Look for a company that has a proven track record. Make sure the company has properly trained technicians. It's highly recommended that someone involved in your project have some training in irrigation methods and irrigation engineering.

5. Look for a company that services not only irrigation and scheduling, but also can make recommendations on fertilizers, weed control and insect control.

6. Look for a company that will make recommendations as to proper stream size and lengths of runs for surface irrigation systems, and for operating pressures, sprinkler selection and operating times for sprinkler systems.

7. Look for a company that does criminal background and drug testing on their employees.

8. Look for a company which provides a written itemized proposal detailing what you'll receive and for what price on company stationary.

9. Look for a company that has decent vehicles with professional signage.

What to avoid when selecting a company in this industry:

1. Companies that show up in unmarked or with cheap signage on their vehicle.

2. Companies that do not have a physical location.

3. Companies without a track record or refuse to give you solid referrals with addresses and phone numbers.

4. Companies that ask you to make out a check to a person not the company.

5. Companies that ask for excessive deposits.

6. Companies that do not provide you proof of insurance and licensing.

7. Companies that do not appear professional.

8. Companies that apply pressure on you to purchase today.

9. Companies that come in at a low ball price. There's probably a reason for it, and in many cases it may cost you more in a very short time. Wasted water and an improper irrigation system can be quite expensive due to the multitude of problems that can arise with your lawn, plants and trees.
