I feel I am pretty knowledgeable about lawn care since I have been researching and doing it myself for years now.  I spent hours using different fertilizers and weed controllers to try and tame the weeds and get my yard thick and green.  These fertilizers aren't cheap, and I really do value my own time.    I became fed up with things not working well, so I have began looking for a company.  I originally went with Tru-Green.  This company is well known, and reasonable priced, so I gave them a shot.  They did a very average job, and my wife said she didn't think they were actually spraying the back yard when they came and she was home. Needless to say I dropped them.
Then came Scotland Yard.   I called and they agreed to come out an give me an estimate.  The price was about $30
 more, but the service was bi-monthly instead of monthly.   Jerry assured me that the fertilizer and spray they used was more potent, and therefore monthly was not needed.   I decided to give them a shot. 
It has been about a month now, and I am impressed (which doesn't happen easily).   About 90% of the dollar weed, crab grass, and other weeds are dead.  The lawn looks greener and healthier, and the bare spots are filling in.   Very happy that I decided to go with Scotland Yard, and I recommend you do the same.

We are in process of replacing our driveway with pavers.  The concrete remover removed not only the concrete but all of the front irrigation PVC and heads.   In order not to delay the project, we had to replace the PVC at the least.  I called 1/28 in the afternoon, and it is now 1/29 at 10:30 am and the job is done and extremely reasonably priced.
This company is great!  I dont expect this type of service every time...this was indeed exceptional.
Paul was the representative that came and instead of waiting and heading back to the store to pick up a trencher, he hand trenched the
pipes back....this certainly exceeds expectation.
The heads are now flagged and the driveway project can proceed.
We may even extend the irrigation to the rest of the yard in the near future and we will certainly use this company from now on...I will also be telling everyone we talk to about landscape/irrigation about this company.
Thank you!!!

I called Affordable Sprinkler Care originally because I needed to have my sprinkler system checked out in a house that I bought that had sit vacant for quite a while.  The night before my appointment I broke a part on my well and had no water.  When I called in the morning to reschedule my appointment I talked to Paul and he said that if I sent him a picture of the problem he would be happy to look at it and see if they could fix it.  I was happy to do so and even happier when he texted me right back and said it wouldn't be any problem to fix the broken part.  Paul and his helper arrived on time and immediately went to work when I showed them the problem.  After fixing the well they set out checking out the sprinkler system and showed me the problems that I had.  I felt no pressure to have them do the work, but since I was leaving soon and didn't really feel like messing around I asked if they had the parts and they had everything they needed to fix up the entire system and the time to do it immediately!!  That meant a lot to me as I don't have time to have people come 2 or 3 times to complete a job.  About an hour or so later, everything was fixed and my well and my sprinkler system were fixed and working perfectly.  I felt the price they charged was fair for the work involved and would have no problem recommending them to anyone who needs anything that they do done.  In fact I am using them to do periodic tune ups from here on out!!

THEY WERE FAR MORE RESPONSIVE AND EASIER TO DEAL WITH THAN THE PRIOR COMPANIES I HAVE USED.  REASONABLY PRICED, THE WORK WAS DONE WELL AND PROMPTLY,   THEY REPAIRED SPRINKLERHEADS, SWITCHES AND GOT THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM RUNNING PROPERLY.  COULD NOT BE MORE PLEASED.

We made an appointment for the next day. The gentleman was on time and fixed the valve. There was a sealant issue with the valve, my husband called the guy and he came back immediately and fixed it.

Joe showed up about 7 minutes before the scheduled appointment time. I was impressed that this company could actually give me a specific time rather than an approximate time. I told him what I wanted done: check for broken sprinklers and adust the rest. He got right to work, checking all the sprinklers, adjusting as he went. Then he came to the door with two scenarios, one much cheaper than the other. He said I needed 10 sprinklers adjusted from slanted positions @ 8$ per, or I could just pay the service fee and do it myself. He also told me that the sprinkler I'd thought was broken had only lost the head which he found and put back on at no cost. Again, I was totally blown away by the honesty and integrity. I opted for the tech to straighten the 10 sprinklers and still paid only about $110.00 total: sprinkler straightening (involving digging with a shovel) + the service call fee.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone. Honest, diligent, and prompt.

We bought a new house and moved in in July.  We thought the sprinkler system was working properly until one night my husband heard gushing water outside one of the windows.  We just moved from the North, and are not familiar with sprinkler systems.  We decided to go onto Angie's list to find a company that had good reviews to look at our sprinkler system and see what the problem was.  We called two different companies to be able to compare estimates and work that needed to be done. 
The first company we called, we believe, was the owner that came out to have a look.  He was horrible.  We found his company on Angie's list as well, and they had good reviews.  However, when he came out to evualate our system, we were not impressed at all.  My husband went outside to see what all he was doing, and the man was persistent that my husband go inside because he did not need him out there with him.  I thought that was strange so I told husband to go out there anyway.  Well, to our surprise not even 10 minutes into being here, he was done.  He told us it would be almost $300 to fix and he knew this with out even walking around our yard to physically look at our system. How could he know what was wrong if he did not really look at anything? Then he said he would e-mail us the estimate.
Then, Niell, from Affordable Sprinkler Care by Jeff Bender came out.  He was amazing.  We were so impressed with how thorough he was.  We both watched everything he did.  He went step by step, looked at each individual sprinkler, and showed us how to operate the system.  We could ask him as many questions as we wanted, and he seemed happy to answer them.  Just looking at the system to give us an estimate, he got down and dirty...literally.  Come to find out we had a busted pipe and a few heads needed adjusted/ fixed.  He gave us an estimate which we thought was great.  We felt no pressure to use their company, but after watching him look at our system and explain everything to us, we were confident this was the company for us.  We told him we definitely wanted him to fix all of the issues                      .  
I would, in a heart beat, recommend Affordable Sprinkler Care....and if you could be so fortunate, have Niell come out!!  This company we found to be very professional, polite, and prompt.

Highly Impressed with this company.  I had already had 2 free estimates from other irrigation co's that were on Angie's List..  Jeff Bender's Co. (Affordable Sprinkler Care) came out today to give me an estimate, but I was so impressed with the info and the technicians that I decided to have the work done while they were here.  John and Paul were very professional and answered each and every question or concerns that I had.  Also, I did not feel that they were trying to rush me through and they made sure I was satisfied with the work once it was completed. After the work was done they turned on each of the zones and walked me through the yard and made a couple of adjustments that I requested during the process.  They replaced a solenoid, raised & lowered heads, did numerous adjustments, replaced heads, PLUS they dug under the fence and added a sprinkler to water an area that previously had never rec'd water from the system.  Very professional and they are definitely highly skilled in their work.
Also, very impressed with Travis who answered when I called....he is very professional, friendly and helpful with all my concerns.  I had called 2 or 3 times before the appt. today and each time he answered.  Very impressed they answered my calls and not like most companies where you must leave message.
As I mentioned at the beginning, compared to the other 2 co's estimates this company's price for the same work saved me between $200 and  $400!  Yes, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We bought a foreclosure that sat empty for over two years and the sprinkler system was a mess.  We couldn't get they system to start up and we knew that several heads were busted. I called and left a voice mail explaining my situation and within 15 minutes I recieved a call to set up an appointment.  The tech arrived proptly at noon and began to decode our mess of a sprinkler system.  It took him quite some time to everything out and then gave us a price.  It was more then I wanted to pay (but really who wants to shell out money) but for the amount of work the man did it was well worth the money.  After we agreed on the price he gave our system a complete overhaul. Because there was so many issues it took him a long time to complete the work but he couldn't have been nicer.  He gave us advice on how to help our grass grow and how to get rid of fire ants. He showed us how to use our system, explained the warrenty, and even told us of other services the company offered.  We will use this company again if we need addtional repairs.

My husband and I recently bought a home and moved to Cape Coral.  There was an irrigation system in the yard but it was not hooked up properly and part of it didn't work.  We called Affordable Sprinkler Care and someone came the very same day and gave us an estimate.  Several days later, they returned and did the work in a short period of time.  They were punctual, professional, and the quality of work was great.  The cost seemed a little high, but not having compared with other companies, they are likely competetive.  They are certainly dependable and do great work.  We would most certainly use them again if we need sprinkler work and we recommend them to others.

Response from Affordable Sprinkler Care By Jeff Bender

"First I would like to apologize to the member for the troubles she has had. The member did sign up for a quarterly inspection and tune-up contract and paid $119.96 for the entire year, which is $29.99 per inspection. We performed the first inspection in January with no problems found. On the second inspection in April, our technicians found $78.00 worth of repairs. Repairs were made and a bill was sent. The member called questioning the repairs that were completed; we gave her a credit of $78.00 for the repairs that were not approved. The member called us to have us come out to replace two (2) heads and clean out the grass from around the heads. We went out on 06/11/12 to perform work. Unfortunately, we did not have our circular cutting tool with us that day, so our technician removed the grass by hand. The member paid for the services that day and did not inform our office of any problem until she called to cancel service. As for not refunding her half of the initial payment, the member had informed us that she had disputed her credit card charge. We were leery of refunding her pre-payment until her credit card charge had cleared. When her payment cleared, we were ready to issue her a refund check; however, Jeff (the owner) was out of town. When he returned, he promptly signed the check and sent it directly via mail. As a company, we tried everything we could to satisfy the customer, including two service calls at no charge. We take pride in our service, quality, and price as a company and as individuals. Again, we apologize to the member that we were unable to make her happy."

paI recently bought a house and was not comfortable with the performance of the sprinkler system. Paul and John came out to do an evaluation of the sprinkler system and showed me exactly what I needed to do in order to bring the system up to code and back to full performance.  They were very professional and the work was well worth the price.  I have already referred Affordable Sprinkler to a neighbor who needed work and he was very pleased as well.

It is too early to say like I am 1400 miles away now I am not going to be back down there until September to really get a first hand look at the results of their work so the jury is out until then. I used their website to look at their rates compared them to other rates in the area. They were very knowledgeable. The price was average for other companies in the area. The quality is very good as far as the contract went. I would continue to use them.

I called this company and they returned my call and made an appointment for an estimate.  It was for 2 weeks in the future.  I decided that since their office was so far away they could not be counted on for quick completion and, especially, maintenance of my irrigation system.

"I do apologize we do service your area and usually we are not that far out for the most part we have next day service sometimes same day .. Several things were going on at this time 1. one of my head techs had family emergency in germany so we were down a tech 2. we were down a service vehicle the rear end had gone out and the new one sent the first time was the wrong one .. 3. everyone was going back up north wanted service work provided before they left so we were working 14 hour days 6 days week to take care of those customers . I am truly sorry it did not work out please keep us in mind for the future we are always there for our customers .. fyi had this been a repair issue we would have made it to you sooner new installs as we do them and love doing them kinda were not top priority unless new sod was going down at that time .. hopefully you will give us a chance in the future ..."

I called Jeff based on reviews from Angie's List.  He squeezed us into his schedule because we are only here part-time.  The men were punctual, knowledgable, and professional.  They made recommendations to save us money, and I hired them to do the repair work immediately.  I would highly recommend them.

We are new homeowners and how no idea how this sprinkler system worked. I set up an appointment about 2 weeks ahead of time so we knew we'd be there. They showed up early (which is better than late!) and got right to work. They fixed what needed to be fixed and they set up the timer. Price seemed reasonable and they finished quickly. I would recommend!

This all began with a bad sprinkler head at the SW corner of my property causing the lawn to turn to hay in that area. After a comprehensive assessment of the situation, Joe and Paul relayed to me their diagnosis. Apparently the irrigation system on our newly acquired home was installed using under-sized feed pipe with way too many heads per zone. This did not allow for enough pressure per zone to perform adequate irrigation of the whole lawn. However, instead of just telling me I needed a new system installed (approximately $2700 for the size of my property) , they formulated an effective strategy of capping, relocating and replacing the heads in each zone so as to allow for proper irrigation for less than 1/3rd the price of a completly new system install. 

I can't say enough good things about this crew.  Peter did a good job of keeping the scheduling in order as the job actually needed 2 trips to complete. Joe and Paul were the primaries on the project site, yet at one point we also had Mike, Fredo and Tyler join in on all the fun. They were all professional, knowledgeable and worked as a team to get the job done and done right.
I will definitely use them again for any future irrigation system needs.
