If you've read my October 2, 2010 post, you know where I stand when it comes to household maintenance projects of any sort. You know that when anything breaks down around here, the only question that remains to be answered is: "To whom do I make the check payable?"
Well, if the maintenance project involves outdoor irrigation and drip systems, and you live anywhere in the Valley of the Sun, the correct answer is:
Able Irrigation, LLC, 244 W. Alice, Phoenix, AZ 85021 (602) 595-6800, www.phxsprinkler.com
As I write this, they have just left my house after bailing out This Lazy Homeowner by providing phenomenal service at a very reasonable price.
Over the course of an hour and a half of back-breaking labor, two Able Irrigation technicians did everything short of tunnel under my driveway and succeeded in finding and fixing an underground leak. They also checked and fixed all plug outlets on my property, installed a couple of extra outlets to some recently-added plantings, and to boot they cleaned up a less-than-sightly amateur patch job that I foolishly dared to attempt myself a few months ago.
All this for less than the price of dinner for two at a low-end white-tablecloth restaurant!
I can't recommend these guys highly enough. For anyone who hasn't already earned a master's degree in landscape engineering, Able Irrigation is worth it for your outdoor irrigation projects!
Irrigation systems are a constant irritation, especially when they break down in the summer. Will definitely keep Able on our list of contractors.
