    If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! TLDR; Aaron is the best person I have ever worked with in Austin (and I've done 3 large scale projects with three different, highly recommended, companies in Austin in the last 6 years). I priced out three different new landscaping companies (besides the other three I had previously used and didn't care for for various reasons) and Aaron was quick to respond to my inquiry, prompt for all meetings and correspondence and brought amazing, collaborative, beautiful ideas to the table. I came in with a good idea of what I wanted but he helped steer me toward what would work best for our home and aesthetic but was incredibly responsive and flexible if I pushed hard in one direction. He came back very soon with a beautiful digital rendering of the work to be done, and was incredibly helpful when I needed to push our timeline back and break up the work a bit. He showed up every day of the project early and got right to work meticulously working on our yard with his awesome team. The level of detail, measurements, materials and design eye that he approached the project with were so evident. Numerous neighbors walked by all week and would comment during and now, after, at their awe to his attention to detail even evident from their "walk by's". Communicative throughout the whole process, the work is BEAUTIFUL. I am so proud of my house and to see my idea come to life with Aaron's help and design guidance. Don't waste any time, call this person NOW. My only worry is that he will get super super busy soon -- good people are hard to find but when you find em, keep 'em! Can't wait for the next project in the Fall

    Great communication, reasonable rates, and stellar service. The yard looks better than when we moved in. I highly recommend!

    Aaron came back and fixed it all and added in additional drainage to keep it from happening again.

    Heartland Sprinklers just set the bar for what home service should look like, and Kevin and EZ…read morecleared it effortlessly. I've dealt with plenty of contractors over the years, and the experience is usually the same: they show up late, rush through the job, and leave you with more questions than answers. Heartland was the complete opposite from the moment I called. Scheduling was fast and easy, they arrived right on time, and it was immediately clear these guys actually know their craft and take pride in it. Kevin and EZ were thorough in every sense of the word. They didn't just run through a checklist; they took the time to explain what they were inspecting, what they found, and what it all meant. I never felt rushed or talked over. They treated me like an adult who deserved to understand exactly what was happening with my own system. And then they went a step further and personally programmed all 14 of my zones; something I wasn't even expecting. That kind of extra effort is rare, and it didn't go unnoticed. The professionalism was top-tier, but what really stood out was how genuinely friendly and down-to-earth both of them were. Great people doing great work. And to top it all off, they back every job with a 12-month warranty, which is not just confidence in their work; that's integrity. Don't waste a single phone call on anyone else. If your sprinkler system needs attention, Heartland Sprinklers is the only call you need to make. I recommend them without hesitation and will be a customer for life. Thank you, Kevin and EZ! You guys are the real deal. -- Harper M.

They were very polite. They listened to all my requests, and self diagnosis. And they did a fantastic job. Also they were responsive to coming out quickly since I had a water leak in the system. They are now my go-to guys for sprinkler work.

I originally made an…read moreappointment with them for a few days later to just have my sprinklers checked after the winter. Then I went to turn on my sprinklers so they would have some water while I waited and found my sprinkler control panel was a mess and resetting it didn't fix the problem. I told On The Spot Sprinkler Repair about this and they recommended I got an inexpensive replacement sprinkler control system from Amazon which then arrived the same day. I told the repair service that I was now in a bit of a rush since I went from maintenance needs to a completely broken system, and they squeezed me in the next day which was EXTREMELY nice of them! Oh, and it turns out that my sprinklers were fine after the winter, I just had a busted control system -- perhaps from an electrical surge so I am now protecting the system with a UPS/surge protector setup. (I had an old UPS that I was going to throw away but it had plenty of juice left in it for such a little control system.) All communications with them were very fast and professional and On The Spot Sprinkler Repair was very knowledgeable which is not always the case with repair people.

He installed a new smart home sprinkler panel and repaired some broken heads as well as giving tips on draining and shutting off the water supply for a freeze. He does give quotes with no hard sell but I chose not to wait and get everything done that day.

I put in calls to a number of…read moreplaces; including my last service and they said it would be a month before they got out here. I got a very quick text from Trace. He said that it would be a while before they could get out here but he put me on a list for about 3 weeks out. Summer, bummer! Anyway, in the interim I noticed that I was just overwatering in a location. Armando came out and I pointed that one sprayer definitely wasn't coming out. Other areas were not receiving enough water. He replaced a pop up spray and a fitting and did adjustments. What a nice young man! Sprinkler Repair Pros provides a price sheet when presenting the bill. My former servicer sent an invoice that same evening with no real explanation for charges. Up front pricing is wonderful! Armando also marked the parts that my system would need so I can do my own little "estimate" in the future. Armando also took a check whereas the other company refused to do so and would just email the invoice. Then, when they didn't get the check immediately they would keep sending annoying emails. I have found my go to sprinkler repair service! Yea!

And as I was planning to do some landscaping work and lay new sod in the backyard, he gave some advice around how to arrange the irrigation system, and made an easily accessible connection point for a drip system to put into the flower bed, which I ended up taking care of myself later. What I also found very valuable/unique is that I could message Eric asking a question or two about operating the system and send him a video - within 10 minutes he would respond with a helpful answer. All in all, great experience.

    BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT CALL THEM!!! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND BAD…read moreWORKMANSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! READ MY EXPERIENCE BELOW!!!!! I have no idea why these guys have such good ratings... here is my horrible experience with this horrible company and business owner Eric. It started about almost 4 months ago. My irrigation system was not working at all when turning the timer so I looked on Yelp and found them. So I decided to give them a call, like some other low rating users here state, no answer, voicemail, or returned calls... Eric did not return my call it was one of his employees a week later, forgot his name. That should of been my first sign to stop and not allow them to work on my lawn... however, I was too busy to call someone else which is why when they called me I decided to just go ahead and have them come. Once they came, they charged me for checking the system, replacing some sprinkler heads and suggested I changed some of the backyard control valves which they believe seemed to be the problem. I paid over $550 dollars for the hours of labor and parts and they left. Well, to my surprise I came home that night saw the sprinklers running as they should and was happy, however, I woke up in the morning and noticed they were running. So I went and checked the timer, turned it to off and saw the sprinklers go off in the backyard. I then left to work. Later that day my wife comes home to a FLOODED BACKYARD!!!! even though I turned the sprinkler system off it did not stay off it came back on who knows when during the day and it was on all day, backyard was completely flooded and water was running all the way down my front driveway from backyard onto the street, my water bill was way over $400 dollars that month not including my regular $200 bill so over $600 dollars!!!!!!! I was so pissed I called Eric, who then took his sweet time to come back. Since he took so long to come back to fix the issue I manually turned off the main water line that is in front of my house to the irrigation system so that this would not happen again... Well he finally came back and finds out that the issue was with the parts (Backyard control valves) that him and his employee replaced. He then tells me that he fired the guy that did that like if that takes care of all my problems and my high water bill. I then tell him that he needs to reimburse me for the water wasted and or refund me some of the original money i paid him. He refused and said he could not do that, the only thing he could do is pay me back with labor but he will not do anything until the City of Austin can prove how much water it really wasted and what the bill was. I mean, you call this customer services?????!!!! I then dealt with City of Austin to only find out that they only pay 50% of the water overage since I reported it to them and it takes 3 to 4 billing cycles!!! so I had to wait, in the mean time it has been raining a lot in Austin so I have had no need to use the sprinkler system since he supposedly "Fixed it"... so to my yet again surprise I go to turn it on 3 weeks ago or after the week that stopped raining and IT DOES NOT WORK YET AGAIN!!!! so he never actually fixed the damn problem!!!! So i called him and nothing again.... no text message replys, no returned calls, left several voicemails, nothing. So finally after 4 months of dealing with City of Austin and finding out the correct amount of the overage, I email him the receipts from City of Austin and no reply to my email. I text him asking to please reply or call and nothing. It has been now almost a week since I reached out to him and I am just going to call another irrigation service to come resolve my issue and probably yet again pay another 5 to 600 dollars since this guy will not call me back. So I ended up paying him $560 dollars for nothing plus another $400 to City of Austin for his employees\companys mistake and now I still have a bad irrigation system... Well, this was my experience with these people, I have seen some other unsatisfied clients on here, I hope any others out there voice their concerns so that no one else is a victim of this horrible business and unprofessional business owner Eric. I wish him the best but what goes around comes around. I might even contact the BBB to see if there is something else I can do to get at least some money back from this thief. Dont say I didnt warn you and go with someone else for your own sake....
