Irrigation system and new sod

I had called John for an estimate on a sprinkler system and he came the very same day. John was able to find a very good solution to the way my interlock is laid down, such that we would only lift a small number of stones while at the same time service both front and back yard out of a single line and the fall service would not cost me double (involved a single pipe system in my basement which would branch off, one on the side of the house for front + side, the other going to the backyard). I have also worked out the removal of all existing grass and installation of new sod throughout (front, side and backyard). The price was more than fair, John has also done a bit extra for free, the irrigation system was tuned to my request (did not want to have water go on the sidewalk) and very good quality grass installed -- all in one day! His team were very professional, hard working and responsive to my questions. They cleaned up the place at the end and everything is looking great right now. John has come by again to show me how the sprinkler system works and even accepted to take me in for service in the fall, even though initially he said he was not able to do it due to the fact that my location is a bit out of his way. Fantastic job John and team, thanks a lot!

7 Zone Irrigation System

John and his guys know their stuff. John came out in a timely fashion, gave me an extremely fair estimate and him and his guys did exactly what they said they were going to do and more. Everyone was courteous, clean and most of all professional. The system they installed was 7 zones and I my wife and I have been so happy thus far, the lawn and gardens look the best they ever have and it saves me hours of moving the sprinkler 25 times to get all the gardens and lawns covered. Thanks John and Green Valley Irrigation, I will be sure to recommend you to my friends, colleagues and relatives!

Irrigation System

We are extremely happy with Green Valley. They installed our irrigation system in half a day and lawn was put back to its original state. John is great and took the time to explain how to operate the system. I've called him a couple of times with questions and he responds quickly and is always very helpful. I highly recommend this company.

Sprinkler service

I would not recommend Green Valley. We used them once to do a Fall closing and had leaks. No big issue there but when we tried to book a follow up appointment everything is done by text. You have to text your address. He keeps no records of your business. Not a big problem but then he does not keep his appointment. After calling he says please text me your address and I will come out (3rd time texting my address.) Forget it..

Installed a new sprinkler system

We met with John and 3 other irrigation companies, who were also rated high on Homestars, but we felt most comfortable with him so we hired his team. What a great decision that was, not only did they work all day tirelessly to make sure everything was installed properly, they left after a long day with our lawn looking like it did before the job. They set up our timer, explained how to operate it and even came back to fix an issue with our soft water system bypass (it wasn't their install nor their fault yet they handled it for us!)
If you are considering a water sprinkling system call John and his team at Green Valley Irrigation. You can count on them even after the install is complete. Thank you to John and his team.

Sprinkler system

If you need sprinklers look no further. John and his family are top notch. They came to my home, installed, explained how it works and cleaned up. John's price was very competative and his workmanship exceeded my expectations.

Impressive one-of-a-kind service!

From the very beginning, over the phone, to his punctual showing on a set date John showed his skills, knowledge and professionalism with respect, courtesy and, above all, a willingness to do and complete the work expediently and to our satisfaction.
This was a repair and tuneup of a system he had not installed, and despite the fact he was extremely busy with other projects.
Thank you very much again, John! From now on we will only hire Green Valley Irrigation!

Sprinkler System Opening/Maintenance

After I was inherited with the sprinkler system from the previous owner of my current place I moved to last year, I definitely needed some tips and maintenance on them. After checking for reviews of several names, I've decided to go with Green Valley (with almost 100 wonderful reviews on from all of their happy customers). I've contacted them and talked to John, the owner of the company, who was very courteous/friendly, and he was very willing to accommodate my schedule if/as possible and agreed to drop by on one of the two dates I could work from home for the service. On the day he's come for maintenance and opening of the system, he thoroughly inspected all the components/lines associated, provided suggestions, fixed some broken parts, and made sure that the sprinklers would indeed cover all the parts of the lawns. Honestly, I was, in fact, kind of worried that he might overcharge me for all the work he has done for me (mostly my fault as I did not ask/discuss with him for the cost before the jobs were initiated/done) but all of the jobs were done at very reasonable price, not to mention he wanted to make sure that I was very happy with his service and also asked me to call him anytime if I have any questions/concerns and/or require service on the sprinkler(s) - which certainly made me feel that he was not just doing it as an one time thing (especially given that it was a small job compared to many others he's done, I.e. "installation" of the irrigation system) and that he'd like to ensure to have me as his future/long-time customer.

As all of his other happy customers, I'm indeed very happy with his fantastic service from the beginning to the end - THANK YOU VERY MUCH AGAIN, John!! - and needless to say, I'll certainly use his and his team's service again for closing/opening of the system and any additional service that I may require in the future!

We'll work with you to define a plan of action to meet your personal and financial requirements. And after installation is complete, we will show you every detail of the proper operation of your new irrigation system. We make sure all the steps are taken to perform the service at the your convenience.

Here are several key characteristics to look for when evaluating the water efficiency of a lawn sprinkler system:

Matched-Precipitation Rate Sprinkler Heads
All sprinkler heads on a given circuit should be the same type (e.g. rotors, pop-up spray, etc.) and have matched precipitation rate (in inches per hour). Heads with differing precipitation rates have widely varying operating times, which can lead to the over-watering of one area in order to sufficiently water another.

Head-to-Head Coverage
sprinkler installation Turf pop-up sprinkler systems are designed to operate with head-to-head coverage, where the spray from one sprinkler head reaches to the next, resulting in necessary overlap. Precipitation rates are based on the assumption of overlap. Places where the sprinkler's spray pattern does not overlap are likely not getting sufficient water and may develop brown dry spots. These spots indicate the system has low "uniformity" of coverage. To compensate, one has to run the sprinklers for longer times to get adequate water to the dry spots, while the rest of the lawn is getting over-watered.

Precipitation Rate That Does Not Exceed the Soil's Infiltration Rate
Based upon soil characteristics, water will soak into the ground at differing rates. Sandy soils have high (fast) infiltration rates, while clay soils have low (slow) infiltration rates. If the precipitation rate of the sprinkler heads exceeds the soil's infiltration rate, then runoff and erosion occur (especially on slopes). On flat ground, this will also lead to piddling. If your sprinklers' precipitation rate exceeds the infiltration rate, lower precipitation rate heads can be installed, or you can shorten your watering times and use multiple start times (e.g. 3 start times at 5 minutes each at 1-hour intervals instead of 15 minutes all at once) to allow the water to soak into the soil.

Appropriate Water Pressure
Each sprinkler head is designed to operate within a certain range of pressure, typically around 40 to 50 pounds per square inch (PSI). When water pressure is too low, the sprinkler head will emit large drops and likely will not produce the proper spray pattern or a radius that reaches to the next head. If pressure is too high, the head will produce a fine mist, which leads to water loss due to evaporation and "fly-away" in even light winds. In addition, high pressure can lead to over spray and a distorted spray pattern, along with many other problems.

Clean, Even Spray Pattern
If the spray pattern of a head is distorted, browns spots may develop on the lawn. This may be caused by blockage in the screen or in the nozzle itself, and the head may need to be cleaned. If this does not fix the problem, the nozzle may be worn and needs to be replaced.

There should be no wasteful over spray onto sidewalk, patio, driveway or street. If there is over spray, replace the nozzle with another with the appropriate spray pattern (e.g. 1800 instead of 3600) or relocate the sprinkler head.

Vegetation or other objects should not obstruct the spray from the head. Trim back vegetation or raise the sprinkler heads as needed. This will increase the system's uniformity of coverage.
