Great Oaks did an excellent job installing a sprinkler system at my elderly parent’s home. Specifically, Roger demonstrated strong expertise, outstanding communication, and overall care that was greatly appreciated. The job was complicated, but Roger and the team patiently worked through all of the complication and delivered a great result. They treated it as if it was their own yard. Throughout, they treated my parents with respect and courtesy. A++++!

Excellent staff and dependable service. Recently had our irrigation computer and control systems changed out and a leak fixed in the valve box. The guys were excellent on a very hot day. Despite having another job and exhausted, they made sure we were fully setup on the control app and trained on use. They also went over every thing they did.

Response from the owner · 3 months ago

Larry, thank you for the fantastic review. We're glad our crew could replace the irrigation computer and controls, repair the valve-box leak, and get you fully set up on the control app despite the heat and a busy day. We'll share your praise with the technicians. Please reach out anytime if you need further assistance.
