Best decision I made with my lawn and I will continue to call on John for any future repairs. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. My yard was a mess with broken heads and leaks which I couldn't find the source. He studied the entire area and quoted me for the known issues and there were no surprises and he left the yard in perfect working order. You could barely tell where the yard had been torn up just moments before. Best of all, he adjusted the sprinkler heads by my curved driveway to minimize overspray. Reasonable, reliable, and professional. Highly recommended. read more

We had two problem valves, one was leaking and making a mud bog in the front yard, while the other was not working with the control box. These valves can be very tricky to replace, you really need someone who knows what they are doing. Called John and made an appointment. He came and replaced both valves. Our project as a bit of a battle but he worked until everything was fixed and working as it should. John is tenacious and very particular about getting everything just right. He is very knowledgeable about anything sprinkler. I would use him again and highly recommend his services to any of my friends or neighbors needing sprinkler repair. read more

In fairness, John did work for me about a year ago. That being said, I told him I would leave a comment on Yelp but I soon forgot. I was cleaning my email box (John emailed me a receipt for his work) and I remembered our conversation. As it was, I had several broken sprinklers and my watering system was not working. I assumed at the time that I would have to replace everything, as it was older equipment and the last person I called told me it was not worth fixing and wanted to charge a lot of money to replace. Not only did John respond quickly, he was able to diagnose the problem with my sprinkler system so I did not have to replace it. He brought my system up to code, repaired my sprinklers and threw in a sprinkler tuneup on top of everything. His prices were far more reasonable than anyone else in the area. He was professional to tee and polite as well. I would use him again in a heartbeat. read more

We were looking for a sprinkler repair service and not knowing where to look we turned to Yelp and found John. We called and made and appointment. He arrived on time and after assessing the situation he gave us a fair quote for repairing our poorly designed system. I had him start the job asap. He really did above and beyond my expectations. Job was well done and my sprinkler system has never worked better. I would not hesitate to use him again or recommend him to others. read more

What I liked about John, was he did all the repairs needed, while I was at work. I hired him over the phone, he gave me a quote and I said yes. When I got home, everything was perfect. Quick, reliable and fair. read more

John is an honest, fair, hardworking individual. His work for us was outstanding. He arrived on time, unusual for many contractors, quoted us a fair estimate and finished the job in a timely manner. I highly recommend him and I will use him for future work. You cannot go wrong with John. read more

John of OC Sprinkler Service did an amazing job for my yard. I've had multiple companies do landscaping jobs & each one has caused damage to my sprinkler heads & pipes. Other companies quoted me that I needed to completely replace the whole system and start from scratch. John & his co-worker fixed everything in one day! They replaced 20+ sprinkler heads & repaired multiple broken pipes all at a fraction of the price that other companies had quoted me. John was very professional, extremely efficient, on-time & even did more work than the job he quoted & did not even charge for the extra work. After all the bad experiences that I recently had with sprinkler repair companies & "landscape" companies it's a breath of fresh air to have found John & OC Sprinkler Service. I would recommend him to everyone & definitely will use them in the future for sprinkler/irrigation & landscaping needs. read more

I gave Orange County Sprinkler Service a call to do a sprinkler system tune up, and specifically to overhaul our slope sprinkler zone. John was very quick (same day) to come over and assess our system and provided an estimate within 48 hrs, as he said he would do. The estimate was very reasonable. He gave us a date for the repairs and was on time - no delays. His work was excellant. He even fixed some things that weren't on the original estimate. I would use OCSS again. read more

We received excellent sprinkler service repair on two separate occasions. Each time the appointment was scheduled for the next day. Excellent service and highly recommended for any sprinkler repair. read more

John came to fix a leak I had on an emergency basis. He is professional and did a great job. I then hired him to come and do a complete check up. he found and solved several problems my gardner had ignored. He worked for 2 days to get my system up to speed. Good job. read more

First time using this service - needed an expert to give me an honest assessment of my issues, and to repair/adjust. Lawn guy not an irrigation expert and irrigation installer not interested in doing repairs (years after installation). John was on time, professional, quick and reasonably priced. I will be calling John back to rework some areas in the spring. So happy to have found this company, especially with current water conservation focus. When I need future help, I know who to call! read more

John is a very nice guy and repaired a valve for us on short notice. Great job. Will be using them again if the need arises.

I have had John out here twice, and he did a great job both times. Both jobs were a bit of a challenge, but he still kept the cost in the excellent range. I will call him again. read more

We were very pleased with John Stoeckel's work on our sprinkler system. He was very professional and respectful to our needs. He adjusted our sprinklers and fixed the ones that were broken in an efficient manner. read more

My sprinkler system was in need of repair, everything from timers to valves. I had a pretty good leak going on. John came out and fixed the immediate problem very quickly. I'm sure I will be using Orange County Sprinkler Service from now on. Very reasonable prices for sure but more importantly, a quality job from a young man who obviously takes pride in his work. read more

A+++ Please believe me on this review - I am a tough customer and I researched the service providers carefully before choosing OC Sprinkler Service. In fact, I "interviewed" 4 service providers reviewed here on Yelp before choosing OC Sprinkler Service. I will not name them, but here is a summary of what occurred. The first provider spent an hour trying to figure out the problems and he ultimately threw his hands in the air and said, "I can't fix this!" He offered to install a completely different system for $800. The second provider suggested replacing most of the valves and emailed a very expensive bid. This would NOT have resolved the problems with my system. The third provider suggested replacing all of the valves, but he never followed up with a bid. Finally, John arrived and he diagnosed the problem within about 5 minutes! Honestly, John known sprinklers, drip systems, and wiring. He followed up as promised and repaired all of the issues promptly and reasonably - nowhere near $800. He worked long and hard until everything was in perfect working order. GREAT service - highly recommend! read more

I don't know what to say. My front yard was completely messed up by the removal of 3 very tall, very old trees on Monday, April 18th. I had many broken sprinklers, painted utility marks all along the sidewalk, dirt for grass, plants to be removed and replaced, bent bender boards, broken light wires, etc. My gardener couldn't help me this week so I started calling contractors at 8:16 a.m this morning. I couldn't find anyone to help me! I kept going using a combination of Angie's List and Yelp, calling over 10 companies that couldn't help. I eventually called this company at 11:12 am. I talked to someone named John. He couldn't help either and I actually started to cry, i.e., I lost it. I told him I was losing it (he must have heard me crying) and that I had to go. I hanged up. I gathered myself up and started making more calls. Finally, I found a great service just a couple phone calls later and all was well. At 5:41 pm, six and one half hours later, John called me back and wanted to know why I hanged up on him. He didn't ask me if I was okay or if I had found someone to help. There was no trace of decency or kindness. It scared me. You be the judge. read more

Had a bad leak recently one morning in the pvc pipe leading into a valve. Water was just flooding out and had to shut the water off to the house at the main. Called Orange County Sprinkler Service and spoke with John. He gave me a reasonable quote over the phone and had someone out within a few hours. Ishmael professionally and promptly made the needed repair and the bill was exactly what John had quoted on the phone. Two weeks later called John to come out to look at a few valves that were leaking and to get a repair estimate. John again provided a very reasonable quote and was very professional in making the required repairs. He worked hard, was very neat and did a quality job. I also inquired if he could install a separate shut off valve for the irrigation system so would not have to turn off the water at the main in the future. John dug down into the ground and found a irrigation system shut off valve that had been buried over the years. He replaced this valve and raised it to be above ground. The final bill came in a little under what he had quoted as he was able to use a few less parts. Found John to be very honest and professional and will use him again. read more
