Great company and will work to get you setup and running. They’re not going to “find” extra costs to add to your estimate unless it really needs to be fixed

A quick review for Carson Irrigation and Drainage. Carlos and Nelson showed up early, diagnosed my problem and made the repair in less than an hour. A valve was leaking water on the parkway in our Frisco Lakes home which is 14 years old. The price was fair and the work exceptional. Will certainly call again for any future issues. Thanks for your service.

Foundation drip line: Asked for a quote, they came to my house, walked me through the process, and outlined the options. Carlos answered every question I had, and offered his expert guidance in areas I did not know to ask questions. The price was reasonable and they offered a warranty. They showed up early and with enough people to do the work in a timely manner. I highly recommend Carson Irrigation. They will take care of whatever Irrigation or drainage job you have.

Great experience. These guys were awesome from start to finish. Carlos and Nelson really knows their stuff. They figured out everything that was going on almost immediately and had the whole job wrapped up in under an hour. One of the issues actually turned out to be caused by AT&T when they had previously dug a trench in the yard and they didn’t even charge me for dealing with that which I really appreciated. Super knowledgeable, honest, friendly, and easy to work with. You can tell they care about doing the job right and treating people fairly. I’d definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone

Earlier in the week one of this company’s vehicles drivers cut me off while driving and was driving very recklessly. This was extremely unsafe and completely unprofessional. If you’re driving a company vehicle you be representing the business responsibly
