Sprinkler system works as promised. 100% Coverage. After install, when finishing up, the areas that were dug up weren't put back with any care, leaving many bare & uneven areas. Pre-emergent down, so will need to wait until Fall to reseed.

I searched Angi late one night and got an immediate reply from Derrick. He offered to meet me the next day. He came, gave me an assessment, and stayed late to make the installation that same day. Very prompt and courteous! He had the new opener installed and operational before I even heard...
