Upon installation of a lawn irrigation system, you will receive 2 seasonal service contract, which includes the start up and shut down of your system, a fertile system which fertilizes your lawn(fee), repels bugs and rust, also a hose enclose which hides your garden hose for those small jobs (fee).

"Since the initial installation, I paid waterworks for annual on and off services that includes a tune up of the sprinkler heads for leaks and adjustments. The System comes on every other day at about 3:30 AM so it is not easy to see a problem but I have complained about brown spots where the heads are not reaching but there was a charge for that kind of adjustment mid season so I would wait till spring. This time a sprinkler head was leaking badly and and my side yard was pure mud so I called them saying no way is this waiting all season because should have been noticed when they turned the system on. They agreed and told me there would be no charge. The Tech came out but the head continued to leak just as bad and now it is watering my driveway. I called again and they returned last week. This technician fixed told me the prior Tech left a part off so the leak was fixed but it's still watering my driveway. Between then and now, I received my AMEX bill and see they also charged my card $120 for first visit and $170 to fix what they didn't for the $120 charge. I had no idea they kept my credit card on file. An unbelievable conversation followed this morning when the owner took the phone from the employee I was talking with and told me to, "stop trying to CON his Girl". It got ugly from there. I've had my doubts before but now I seriously caution anyone thinking about protecting their expensive sprinkler systems with this outfit. No matter how many years you pay them, you are one billing question away from being called a "Con". Would you believe they told me some systems are large, mine 11 zones and they do not have time to check them. Oh well, I'll find a better option because they are history around here."

FAQs for fountain service projects in Alexis, IL

Installing an outdoor water fountain costs $2,700 on average, not including the cost of the unit. Prices range from $150 to $10,650, depending on your location, the type of fountain, size, and accessibility to the site. Self-contained fountains and water features recirculate the water within the unit. Depending on size and features like multi-tiered cascading bowls, they typically cost from $50 to $5,000. More elaborate fountains with waterfalls and ponds can cost from $450 to $10,000 or more.

Every one to three months, you should perform regular fountain maintenance, including draining, cleaning, and rinsing the components of your fountain basin and the pump and tubing to prevent algae and other buildup. Fountain maintenance also includes keeping the appropriate water level and removing debris like leaves, insects, and twigs from the water to avoid clogging the pump. You can also hire a professional landscaper to clean your fountain for around $50 to $150 per month on average.

Most water features do not use a lot of electricity, averaging between 100 and 250 watts per day. The size of the motor can impact electricity usage. To reduce electricity usage, consider using a timer to turn the fountain off at night and when you’re away from your home. Solar power is another way to defray electricity costs after you recoup the cost of installing the solar components.

You can choose several types of fountains to add to your backyard, ranging in size, number of basins, and special water features.
