"We've been very pleased with them and I would give them an 'A' overall. We've been using them since October of last year and they are a local company. They were last here 2 weeks ago and we spent $50 for them to mow our lawn and do some weeding. 9 or 10 months of the year they are here every week. They're reliable, competent, responsive and on time."

"I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Ellisville Lawn Care/LS Custom Painting Carpentry. I bought an Angie's List deal to have mulch delivered and spread in a large area under some pine trees in my front yard. It looks great! In fact, it has never looked better. Larry Schonert, owner of the company, was very professional and went out of his way to accommodate my schedule. He took some extra care mulching around my deck area and even gave me some welcome advice on repotting my patio tomato. They cleaned up thoroughly after the work was done. I hadn't heard of Ellisville Lawn Care before I purchased this Angie's list Big Deal, but I had a great experience and will definitely call them again. If you are on the fence about who to call for mulching services, you won't be disappointed with Ellisville Lawn Care/LS Custom Painting."

"We had a very good experience with Jones Lawn Service. Sylvester Jones, the owner of the company, promptly came by to assess the work, carefully listened to what we wanted and send us estimate by email at the same day. If it wouldn't be for a bad weather we would have our landscaping done right away. The landscaping is nice, very clean and done with the knowledge of how big the tree and bushes will grow. Overall we had a very pleasant landscaping experience. Thanks, Sylvester! Thanks ServiceMagic!"

"After the blistering summer of 2012, and hand watering all of the flowers, shrubs, trees and grass, I decided that we needed an irrigation system. So I called my favorite contractor, Dunn Home Improvements (DHI) to put it in. Josh Dunn and his crew arrived at the appointed time with all of the tools and equipment necessary for the job, professionally dressed and ready to start working.  The first day they installed a new 8 zone irrigation system and used a trencher in the yard and flower beds for the water lines.  The second and third day they laid lines and installed approximately 40 heads, a rain sensor and backflow preventer.  All three days they arrived on time and ready to work.  They also maintain the system by coming out twice a year to start my system in the spring and shut it down in the fall.  They also adjusted any heads that needed it.  They did a great job and answered all of my questions.  Great Customer Service! Now all of my plants are very happy, healthy and beautiful and I didn't have to water anything by hand.  Working with DHI folks is always a pleasure.  DHI is the only number that I call when I want to build, remodel and install.

"We worked with the Tainter brothers on a huge patio project. The original consultations and design stage of the project went very well. We chose a stone patio that needed to be raised several feet from the ground to deal with a sloping yard and a back door that is 4 feet off the ground. We wanted a koi pond with a waterfall built into the patio. We incorporated 2 purpolas and flower beds around the outside edges. Some of our inground sprinkler needed to be reworked to accomodate the patio. We did not haggle over money. We wanted our dream patio. We were told by Craig that we would have a meeting with Anthony to design the water feature in the near future. So the project begins. Removal of the old patio. No problem. Laying of the base. No problem. The day they were to lay the stone Craig wanted to make a change. He brought a few samples he wanted to go with. This was a little rushed and I settled for a stone I would not have chosen if I did it again. A sump pump drain pipe was discovered in our yard when the tractor cracked it. No problem, they would fix it good as new when they were finished. We apparently have a very active sump pump, and a lot of water moves through it daily. So we now have a bit of a swamp on the uphill side of a stone patio project. Great care is being given to the stone work, looks fantastic. Anthony arrives one day and begins building the koi pond. Odd, we never had our meeting with him as promised by Craig. Lots of details still to work out on this prize feature of our patio. But Anthony is not here to talk, he has 2 days he had specially planned into his week to build the pond. I intervene and call a halt to the pond construction until we can meet about design. Anthony was polite to me, but he took his frustration out on a pile of dirt until the dirt finally won. We were able to meet about the design and very glad we did, the design the brother's had in mind was not at all close to the design we wanted. I am not talking shape. It is a 5 x 8 x 4 rectangular pond. I am talking about how to incorporate the filter, waterfall, and pump. The mosquitoes are starting to get bad as the swamp is not being dealt with. The tractor path from the street to the patio is tearing up a swath of the lawn. The outside temperatures are getting to be insanely hot at 105 degree days. The lighting is put in and looks great. But communication with Craig is starting to erode. Just when it needs to be at its best getting the final touches on the work, the part everyone looks at, he is very distant. We get a terrible batch of paving bricks, they were supposed to be a tri color mix. One pallet is almost all black, a sharp contrast to the rest of the variegated pavers already in place. They work with me in ordering a replacement pallet that is truer to the intended color promised by the manufacturer. One day I asked Craig about how he chose to plant a tree, he had buried it with the burlap, wire and cording still on the rootball. I said that needed to be taken up and removed, he started to say something, then turned away talking to himself so I could hear that he has always planted them that way and no one else ever had a problem. The koi pond is finished... um.... but has no electric run to it. The flower beds are created around the outside... they put 5 inches of topsoil over clay, chat, and cement spoils from the project. The filler sand that sits between the pavers was put down, it started to rain, it was finished very quickly and looks like a job my teenage son would do. The in-ground sprinkler was moved to accomodate the patio.... 3 weeks after the project we finally discover the source of two odd wet spots... it had two leaks. The contract said they would restore our lawn... they raked and threw down some grass seed. (I had a lawn that could rival a baseball field. Now I had mud with seed.)... We tried to contact Craig to discuss these issues and to get this project finished in a way that left everyone smiling. Craig didn't show up any more. He didn't return phone calls. We left messages. He did send out his workers to address some of the issues we stated in our messages... the leaky sprinkler pipes were fixed. A cheap sod was laid in place of the seed. In the end it all came down to communication. We withheld $700 from the final payment saying we needed two issues addressed. Craig just simply never called back. We never hesitated when he came to us with price increases to adress a change we asked for. We know he was generous with his material on the beautiful stairs.  We were absolutely dumbfounded with his lack of communication on the koi pond. We have no idea how a pond that requires a pump and a filter never had electric in the cost structure. Voices were never raised. Harsh words were never spoken. We would call and say we needed to discuss the condition of the lawn or the invoice because we were confused on a few items. We simply never heard back. Very very odd ending to huge project."

FAQs for lawn irrigation projects in Mitchell, IL

While watering your lawn by hand might save you money upfront, installing and using a lawn irrigation system does save you money over time. You are less likely to overwater your lawn with a professional irrigation system, which will cause a reduction in water usage. These systems use the right amount of water without waste. In addition, watering your lawn the correct amount will also help prevent different fungi from growing, saving you money in fungi removal costs.

Lawn irrigation is the process of getting water to your lawn, grass and all, for it to grow. There are five main types of lawn irrigation methods:

  • Manual irrigation puts you in charge of the flow of water. Using a sprinkler head on your hose is best to evenly distribute the water across your entire lawn. This doesn’t take much time but requires you to be physically outside holding the hose. 

  • Above-ground sprinklers attach to your hose and rotate or oscillate around your lawn. Since these are above-ground, they’ll need to be moved when it’s time to mow, and depending on the size of your property, you might need to move it around your yard for full coverage. 

  • In-ground sprinklers are flush with the ground when not in use but pop up above the ground level when it's time to water the lawn. Piping for these sprinklers is all found underground, and there are different types of sprinkler heads for different uses and lawn sizes. 

  • Drip irrigation involves drip lines that are more efficient than sprinklers for more extensive lawns. This involves a lot of digging since they are installed underground, but it makes it easy for you to mow.

  • Rainwater collection and irrigation uses nature’s precipitation to water your lawn. This option might not be available in every area since semi-reliable rainfall is needed, though the barrels for this system can range from 15 gallons to 10,000 gallons or more.

Even though having a lawn irrigation system to water your lawn is efficient, you do not want to run it daily. It’s best to run your system two to three times a week. The length of time to run your system varies on factors like wind, temperature, and the variety of your grass, but 10 to 20 minutes each time is generally preferred. If you water too frequently, you’ll drown your grass and plants.

The cost of a lawn sprinkler system is $2,550 for the average homeowner. However, this price can range from $350 to $5,000 or more, depending on the type of sprinkler system you install, the size of your yard, and the type of sprinkler heads you choose. For example, rotating or oscillating sprinkler heads are more expensive than stationary ones, making the cost for one sprinkler head $2.50 to $30 each. Likewise, a yard that is 1/4 of an acre in size averages a total average price of $2,460; however, a one-acre yard averages a cost of $9,840.

The total time it takes to install a lawn irrigation system is roughly one to two days. This includes digging trenches for any necessary underground piping, placing the piping, wiring, sprinkler heads, and valves, and connecting your sprinkler system to your water supply. If you have a lawn larger than one acre, or if there are any municipality regulations that extend the project, you can expect the timeline to be closer to two days.
