Sprinkler System

I was quoted by a few contractors for a sprinkler system and John was by far the most competitive. Upon meeting John for the first time, I had a very good sense about his honesty and professionalism. My instincts proved to be correct, as I found John to be a man who is true to his word. He was punctual, courteous, and completed the job beyond expectations. Being a teacher and somewhat of a perfectionist, I asked alot of questions and he happily obliged. John would not quit until I was completely satisfied down to the minute detail. I will definitely recommend John to all of my family and friends. My report card for him would read A+.

Sprinkler Installation

After getting a few quotes from other companies John was very competitive. John did our and my neighbors system at the same time. John and his team were very professional always returned my calls promptly, showed up when he said he would show up and finished the work on time. His team did great work and John came out personally to fix a small issue caused by having a driveway installed at no cost. Highly recommended to anyone looking for sprinklers.

lawn irrigation

John Nissan owns and operates Green Valley Irrigation Ltd. The initial installation was flawless and complete. The system included a zone specifically for our satellite planter boxes (where we grow our vegetables) The planters are scattered throughout our back and side yards. John's crew ran remote lines to each box......our vegetables are thriving and much time has been saved by not lugging water containers to the gardens. This follow up review is to advise those considering an irrigation install to call John Nissan. I have met very few trades that care for their customers as much as John does. I have had two service calls since my original install - one to move a sprinkler head because I mistakenly told the crew to put it in the wrong place and a second service call to help me with the programming of the irrigation controller. Both times John came by, saw the problem, fixed and bid me a good day....no charge - happy to do so. His initial install price at the outset was MORE than competitive and his after install service is commendable and leaves me with nothing but gratitude. Yes, it's only an irrigation system but dollar for dollar John's company delivers the best bang for your buck. Kudos again to John and his crew.

Sprinkler Service

Taking care of your home especially the outdoor responsibilities is very difficult especially when you are new at it. My sprinkler system was installed several years ago and every summer, I had a leak in the same area. John of Greenvalley was highly recommended by my neighbour. I can honestly say that John is very reliable, knowledgeable and professional. He took the time to show me how to run the system. When I thought that the system was leaking, I called John back. He came immediately and when he determined that there was in fact no leak, he smiled and said have a nice day and call me anytime. His price was more than fair and he stood by his estimate for the repairs even though he later discovered that he had neglected to add the amount for checking the system. I feel confidant to have John open and close my sprinkler system for many years to come. Thank you John for not taking advantage of a woman who knows nothing about the sprinkler system.

Sprinkler installation and grass

We decided to install a sprinkler system and get our lawn replaced this summer. We called around and received a few quotes. We decided to go with Green Valley Irrigation. John came in and provided a competitive price. His crew started on time and finished on time. They did a superb job as our new lawn looks terrific. We are really happy with the outcome. John also explained clearly how the system worked. We are glad we went with his company and highly recommend him to others.

Irrigation system installed

My name is Lynn Oliveira and I called a couple of companies before calling Green Valley we got a couple of quick estimates. John took the time to come out and explain his service. He wouldn't accept a deposit and said he would be available as soon as my property was graded. We kept in touch and he was either here earlier than he said or on time. Never late. His crew showed up and did a fantastic job with the installation with high end system that he installed. We are thrilled with his business aspect and his knowledge. They left no mess and John is coming back to give my husband and I a tutorial on how to use the system he installed. I recommended his service to two other neighbours . Great job at a great price. Much better prices than other companies in the area !!! A definite 10 out of 10 rating

Sprinkler System

We were in the market for a sprinkler system and had a bunch of companies come out to give us a quote. John came out to visit the same day we contacted him and and we were very impressed with his straight forward approach, and not to mention he was several hundred dollars less than the other quotes we received. Installation was prompt and completed in one day. John and his crew were efficient and extremely courteous. He has been very helpful in explaining the system and told us to call should we have any questions. We would highly recommend Green Valley to anyone considering a sprinkler system.

Sprinkler installation

I had enquired with several sprinkler system installers and found Green Valley to offer the best value. The Green Valley team were diligent, polite and completed the job on time with minimal impact on the lawn. In addition, John has been extremely helpful in the year since it was installed. He always answers his phone, and if possible, will talk you through any problem with the system so as to avoid making a house call that would result in a fee. I would recommend Green Valley Irrigation.

Sprinkler system installation

We had a spinkler system installed 3 years ago and john, the owner, was responsible for the job done. He provided valuable instructions on lawn Maintenence and how to properly operate the sprinkler system. He provided great service and great workmanship. He also comes once per year and helps drain my sprinkler system for me. One more thing I really appreciated was that this year, (3 years after having the system installed) john came back upon my request to remove a few sprinkler heads as I am having a shed built in the backyard. He came and took care of it and also changed a few other sprinkler heads that I wanted altered. The service was great and he stands behind his work no matter how long ago he installed the system. I would recommend anyone to see john and get great work done at a reasonable price.

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.
