Did the work as asked… I called and asked for my controller they took out. Dave said he would return it because he thought it was in the truck, I explained I wanted it as a back up. After asking 2 times I got an invoice but he didn’t follow through with returning. I paid all but the cost of buying the controller he took from my house and followed up again. Then followed up once more where he decided to once again argue why what he took wasn’t that valuable and that he would just not do business with me. The condition on the invoice was clear that once they return my controller or one similar I’d pay the other $100… having already paid $500… so apparently im a difficult customer. Follows up by saying how it’s a tight knit group and he will share my contact info to make sure none of his competitors will work on my system. (Obviously this guy has no customer service skills and rather than make this right or even call me… he decides he will fire me and “blackball,” me. Lol Already have him replaced in 2 phone calls but don’t waste your time with someone shady like this. His wife was responsive and pleasant other than sending the invoice 7 weeks later, which again I’m a terrible customer asking to pay my bill. Ha
Response from Matthews Irrigation
"We wholeheartedly disagree with this customer’s recollection. Unfortunately- he was not at home for his appointment and did not request the old controller back until 2 weeks after the installation of the new controller. It is customary for us to discard any old used parts (heads/pipe/controller) when we complete a job- unless we receive a request prior or on day of service to leave all parts replaced behind. Since the controller we replaced was a 9 zone controller and his system had 11 zones - we discarded it since we had no request to leave it there and it did not function correctly with his system. Mr. [Member Name Removed] did request that we bring a controller back and we had not been back in his neighborhood to drop one yet when he sent threatening emails to disparage our reputation. We told him to keep the balance due (even though it was more than the cost of old controller) and decided to part ways ."

My experience was terrible. I hired Matthew's irrigation to turn on my sprinkler system. After initial checkup and and testing out all the zones, I was provided an estimate of about $700 to fix some sprinkler heads and valves. They sent an inexperienced crew who left at the end of the day with the solenoid valve open that flooded my backyard. They did not turn off the water valve until it was fixed ,instead advised me to continue using the sprinkler except zone 10. They invoiced me around $895 at the end which was way above the initial estimate , and my sprinklers still do not work correctly. I wasted my money dealing with them.

Dan was very professional, arriving on time, Introduced himself and asked if there were any questions about the irrigation system before he began a check of each station. When he was finished he explained what heads needed replaced and also shared information on a new wifi service for watering that automatically waters based on weather & rainfall taking the guesswork out of when to water. It is now recommended by Delaware County. We've had excellent service from Matthews Irrigation for at least seven years.

Very well. The team worked hard, even though the ground was very muddy. Team leader seemed very knowledgeable and friendly. Answered all questions.

I would grade them an A for everything or, I wouldn't keep using them.

I have used them and I am completely satisfied with them. I think their price is excellent and their customer service is very good. They start up the system in the spring and they shut it down in the fall. They repair any damage to the heads or the lines when it needs to be repaired. I have been in contact with the owner Dave Mathews, he is the one who has come out to do the work.

I don't really interact with them they just come out and make sure everything is working and if there is an issue. It's been good. Everything works and they're reliable.

Response from Matthews Irrigation
"[Member Name Removed], I am honestly very confused by your review. We have spoken a few times over the phone and I had set an appointment that you called to cancel at 6:51pm. We typically run the office 8-5pm and when I called this morning at 8:35am to reschedule you did not mention your unhappiness with our service? I noticed you also put December 2015 as your date of service and your winterization for that property was 10/12/15? The reason we use a P.O. Box is because we have a home office- which is very typical. Due to the seasonal nature of the business- we receive all calls in an influx with over 1100 clients which makes it difficult to answer each one when they come in. I am sorry that your satisfaction was not met- however we have not had the chance to even provide you the estimate yet? Please let us know if you still wish for us to come on your scheduled appointment for April 14?"

Could not have been more pleased. Dave and his crew are true professionals, they take pride in their work, are very hard workers, and completed the job on time and in the manner promised. The effort they put forth to put turf and landscape beds back to the way they looked before installation was amazing. I highly recommend Matthews Irrigation and cannot imagine any company could do a better job.

Dave Matthews came out to the house after I sent some emails through Angie's list on Friday asking for help with winterization and checking a leak I was concerned might be causing me extra water costs. He was on time at 830a on a Monday AM, winterized my sprinkler system without ever having seen it before, understood exactly how to set off all 9 zones even though I didn't know how to, identified where the leak in my system was and completed this entire service in under an hour, for a great price. On top of this, he was really nice and professional. Thank you! I highly recommend this provider. I will be using Matthews to program and turn on my system in the spring/summer and to fix my leak. What a relief!

We moved into a brand new home in late December, 2014. Wilson Turf was the company providing our landscaping package so we assumed it would be easiest to have them install our irrigation system also. Seemed like a great idea until we got their estimate -- close to $6,000.00. I got on Angie's List to get some other estimates and found really positive reviews of Dave Mattews' company. I contacted both Matthews Irrigation and Rain One for estimates. One issue for our property is the fact that we reside in Jefferson Township and their rigid requirements definitely add to the cost of any system. Rain One's estimate was completely out the roof so we decided to use Matthews Irrigation. What a blessing! Dave is very professional; knows his stuff and is so easy to work with. We were at the mercy of our landscaper as far as installation of our sod and Dave was totally accommodating! He laid all of the tubing prior to the sod being laid. We are still waiting for our front yard to be finished but Dave came out as soon as our back and sides were finished and added the heads and controller. It just went so smoothly!!! We really feel like we were extremely fortunate to have chosen Matthews Irrigation. I would highly recommend Dave for any services he offers!

I love this company and have been using it for about 6 or 7 years. The company is dependable, reasonable and does good work. He might also do lawn aeration and things like that. I don't think he mows the yards or anything. I think he is expanding a little bit and now does the city inspection every spring that has to be done for the irrigation system. He usually does the work himself although he has one other guy .

Dave came out and redesigned our sprinkler system that had been poor installed by another company a number of years ago. The system is now providing all the coverage that is need for our extensively landscaped yard. The quality of his work was excellent. Could hardly tell where the lines and sprinkler heads were move. Highly recommend. For all the work that was done I feel the price was very appropriate.
