Elmer was great. He showed up on time, very professional. Completed the repair immediately. Everything fixed and cleaned up within 30 minutes. read more

Elmer was very knowledgeable, professional, reasonable, and responded in a timely manner. I really loved the pride he and his employee, Francisco took in their work. When the work was completed you never would have known they were here because they took such care not to damage my grass or my plants. My sprinkler system is top notch now and I plan on using his company again to landscape and install a sprinkler system in my backyard when my construction is completed. I highly recommend this company. read more

I have used this company for two projects now within just a few months. Elmer is my "go to" person now for these kinds of projects. He's quick to reply, friendly, professional, and does quality work. For any future projects I'll be contacting him first and hoping he is available. read more

Elmer worked with us to increase our house's curb appeal and fix some glitches in our irrigation system. He worked quickly and was very professional. Will be using his services again in the future. read more

Elmer upgraded the irrigation system at the home I purchased. It was getting quite annoying having to manually turn valves every time I needed to water the lawn, so he brought me into 2023 and installed smart-friendly valves and installed an outlet outside to power the timer. He also replaced and added sprinklers to our flower beds. The sprinklers the previous owners had were gushing water and eating away at the wood of the house. Elmer did a great job, was super neat, and a pleasure to work with. His prices were reasonable. Will use him in the future. read more

After several estimates, I selected Elmer.... really liked his ideas about how to improve the irrigation system which hadn't been updated since 2007. It now works properly and we are getting better coverage of the lawn. read more

A vendor is just a vendor, right? After my experience with Ernie and his team, I beg to differ! I found him on "My best friend Yelp" (as my wife describes my relationship to Yelp) and decided to hire him to work on my late mother's yards. Even as the business owner, Ernie is "hands on", and worked alongside his excellent staff Fernando and Ramon (I may have missed another team member who came in the next day to work over the weekend). Ernie walked me through running the sprinkler system, and we mapped out which ones to cap, which ones to lower but keep, and he explained how the zones were intertwined in the front yard. They completed the Herculean task of trenching about 20' in order to relocate the sprinkler system and faucet for hose from the middle of the yard. It was intricate work that they needed to approach delicately, to avoid cutting wires. They also installed a new water shut-off valve- Ernie discerned that the main shut off valve was broken and not in its usual location. Sr. Ramon loaned me a small curved knife for pruning tree roots from the ground, and in doing so, gave me the gift of understanding that I can make tree root removal easier for myself without having to use a large and heavy pick axe! Sr. Fernando arrived early on day 3, and gave me a hand with relocating the round edgers surrounding my mother's beloved palms. After relocating the irrigation and taking care of the 30 or so sprinklers, the team lay down weed barrier and applied nearly 80 bags of mulch! In between, Ernie was very kind to take a look at an electrical panel in the back that was not working, and provided an assessment and his recommendations. He is truly multi-talented! I appreciate Ernie and his team's efforts very much, and HIGHLY RECOMMEND him and his team! read more

They came out same day I contacted them and fixed a broken/leaky irrigation line. They troubleshooted the remaining system and gave me some piece of mind that it is working properly now. Quick and efficient and clear communication of the issues. I couldn't ask for anything else. Very grateful for their work at my house. read more

I have hired Elmer owner of EC Irrigation Repair for installation of sprinklers for my grandmother's front lawn a couple of years back. He did a great job there, so I hired him to install bubbler type sprinklers for my home with a large lot to irrigate my large perimeter hedges. I was hand watering them for about 5 years, which was nice and calming, but very time consuming. Elmer and his staff did a great job within one week, which required a lot of excavation to get through the clay soil at my property. Elmer recommended and installed the Rachio brand irrigation system, which I like because it has a lot of neat features such as an app to review the four watering zones, water use, notifications of watering cycles, and notifications if the system goes offline, all which have been handy for me. Elmer is a very nice, calm, and experienced man who is always willing to answer my many questions to help me make the best decision for my landscape watering projects. I will be working with Elmer for as long as he's in business and providing excellent customer service. read more

Elmer responded quickly to my text and showed up right on time to give a free estimate. He was also right on time on the day he did the work. He changed out our sprinkler box (managing to keep our same programs and schedule) and replaced several heads at a fair price. We are happy with the work. Elmer is a nice guy and easy to work with. read more

Elmer has helped me out on multiple occasions. Always shows up in a timely manner and if he's able, he will do the repair the same day. If you have any irrigation issues Elmer's your guy! You won't be disappointed. Thanks again Elmer! read more

Elmer, I want to thank you for coming to my aid! Yesterday, i was mowing my grass and accidentally broke my irrigation system. My front yard started leaking. I had to shut off my water line. I had no water in my home. I found your page on google and gave you a call. I explained the situation, and then you asked me to send you pictures. Then you told me that a separate shut-off valve needed to be installed, to just turn off the irrigation system without interrupting my water to my home. You came did the job, were professional and friendly. Thank you so much for having a sense of urgency and helping me out in my crisis! You have great prices! I will be recommending you with my friends. Thank you once again for a job well done! read more

Elmer and his associate reviewed my landscape irrigation system today. It was installed over 10 years ago, and I had a list of repairs that were needed. Elmer fixed those issues, and several more. He explained what was needed, suggested changes to the sprinkler controller schedule, and was generally useful and informed. I cannot recommend him enough - he is a true professional and a pleasure to deal with! read more

Did an excellent job diagnosing and replacing a set of sprinkler valves for me. Albert was very personable and explained every step along the way. His costs were quite reasonable. read more

Elmer picked up the phone immediately to my call for repair and even came out much sooner than the appointment we'd made. He stayed within the cost range he'd estimated for the job--and that's important these days when we're all watching our pennies. He explained everything he did throughout the process and was highly professional. He also guaranteed his work should there be a subsequent issue with the repair he made. I really appreciate a business owner who stands behind their work! I definitely recommend EC Irrigation for all of your irrigation system needs. If/when I ever need his company's services again, I know who I'll call. Thanks again, Elmer! read more

Fixed sprinklers front and back including my hill, where the sprinkler valves were buried deep. Very professional and reasonable prices. Really enjoyed working with Elmer. read more

I contacted them and scheduled an appointment for some drainage work to be done to the perimeter of my home (we have a negative slope). Appointment was on 7/6. They came out and assessed the job. They informed me I would receive an email within the next few days. Weeks went by and I finally contacted them regarding the quote on 7/28. The response came that they would let me know and I will be receiving it that day. A week later and still nothing. I contacted again, with no response. I was excited to receive service from them, but sadly their communication is lacking. If the job was too difficult, or they didn't have the time, I would have appreciated a notice. Now I'm just getting ignored. Incredibly unprofessional. It's very frustrating when you've wasted time with something like this. read more

EC Irrigation Repair - Text - Irrigation Near Me

I've had Elmer come twice. He's very responsive and professional. He always quotes his work before completing so there are no surprises. He answered plenty of questions for me after the service. Elmer replaced some old sprinklers with high efficiency ones. I had him rezone our sprinklers and he also identified and repaired a leak at no additional cost. I appreciated that he gave me multiple options to improve my irrigation system, and explained the pros and cons. Highly recommended for someone in the South Bay / Long Beach area. read more

Elmer did am amazing job installing a drip irrigation system in my home. He was patient, answered questions, and completed the work on time without going over budget. I highly recommend EC Irrigation Repair read more

Solid work on my sprinklers. Easy to contact and quick to respond. Stands by his work, and definitely can trust his judgement.

Although Elmer was already booked solid on the day of my Saturday emergency, he was so helpful and kind to offer some advise as to how I could handle the problem myself if I was not able to get anyone else to fix it on the same day. Thank you Elmer for being a good Samaritan and advisor when I really needed the help. read more

Elmer replaced a broken pipe attached to the sprinklers that was spraying our front planter. He was able to find the problem that's been causing our planter to get too much water killing everything we plant. Elmer is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. He responds quickly and is very reasonable with his prices. I highly recommend EC Irrigation Repair and plan to work with them again soon to remove some trees and maintain our sprinklers. read more

Elmer is great. I put a quote request through Yelp for a broken sprinler head. He was quick to respond and came out in a few hours same day. He was quick and did great work. He showed me around my sprinkler system and explained how it all worked. Definitely recommend. Will use him for our irrigation needs moving forward! read more

Elmer did an exceptional job in adding a drip system to our new outdoor planters and scrubs. He was competitively priced, very professional and clean. read more

I am so grateful we found EC Irrigation on Yelp. We usually contract through referrals so hiring EC Irrigation was definitely out of our comfort zone. But this company exceeded our expectations. Elmer took our recent exterior remodel and added the icing on the cake with the perfect addition of new irrigation, sod, plants, and mulch. Elmer and his crew took their time to prep the area for new irrigation and sod. Even after the work was completed, Elmer still came by several times to check on the lawn and adjust the sprinkler system. We are so happy with the results. read more

After contacting Elmer, I met with him when he was available two days later. He gave me a $1,200 verbal quote to repair a broken water line, repair artificial turf, and replace three valves. I was taken aback by the expensive quote so I asked him three times (text and voicemail) for a second quote to repair the existing valves. He would not give me the second quote. When I expressed frustration about the second quote, he cancelled the job with no explanation. It felt like he was unwilling to take less money. Now, I've wasted over a week to take care of my irrigation problem. read more

I turned my backyard to drought tolerant. I had someone else do the work, little did I know they didn't install a drainage system. The last rainfall flooded my my patio door and water came in and destroyed my floors. ELMER to the rescue!!!!! He came and gave me a very FAIR estimate and told me he could fix my problem! He was able to come and install a drainage system and I couldn't even tell that he dug up my backyard. His team came in and finished the work in 2 days. If you want an honest, affordable, and licensed company to come in and do the job right, EC IRRIGATION is the Company For you! I now have peace of mind and can really enjoy my backyard, rain or shine! read more

Elmer is responsive and has an answer for every question you have. If you want it done right and with quality go with EC Irrigation.. read more

We needed to have our grass replaced in the front and parkway. It was no longer grass, but weeds. I had contacted a few irrigation and sod installers. Initially, we knew a few of the sprinklers would have to be replaced. We ended up replacing the entire irrigation system (front) and adding a few more sprinklers, and valves. Elmer was extremely responsive to any and all questions. He discussed the different types of grass that were available and sent the quote to be reviewed. From start to finish it was about a month. We were liberal with our time frame as we weren't in a hurry. Elmer and his crew are very efficient and after each day they cleaned up and there was no mess that was left behind. They take great pride in their work and it shows. I never knew there was so much work involved when adding new sod and irrigation. True professionals. OVERALL: When choosing EC Irrigation we found that the pricing was fair and the owner was honest. I am very satisfied and highly recommend EC Irrigation Repair. read more

Helpful and quick response! I called to share my needs. The owner promptly responded and repaired. Reliable and trustworthy!

This company is professional and fair in pricing. The workmanship is superb and they go the extra mile to make sure the job is done correctly. I highly recommend them. read more

We needed to update and add to our sprinkler system around our house. Elmer and crew did a great job, fast, thorough, clean and very reasonably priced. He understood exactly what I needed and took care of everything no problem. 10/10 would recommend and use again. read more

Yesterday we had a dilemma on our hands. We turned on our sprinklers manually and upon attempting to turn them off after ten minutes they were "stuck". Tried calling everyone we knew to no avail. Finally resorted to calling the city of Downey water works department to dispatch a worker to come turn off my main valve of water in my home (side note my sprinklers were running for over an hour). I then went on Yelp to look for a good repairman. I came across Elmer. He promptly answered his phone upon my first calling him. He was great in offering to come later in the evening and turn my water back on (no fun having no water or unable to use your toilet). Elmer came as scheduled and was able to resolve my issues. He re-programmed my timer on my sprinkler units (front and back yards). We had a power outage and they were off schedule. He repaired several broken sprinklers/caps. He also replaced three of my manual sprinkler valves and lastly he installed a new water shut off unit. So, in the event we have another unforeseen event, we can easily turn off our water ourselves. All in all, Elmer seemed very competent and efficient. He understood our needs and was able to resolve them. His pricing was reasonable. He did not take advantage of the fact that I am a woman. I appreciate his sense of urgency and coming to assist us in our time of need. Will definitely call upon him in the future should we have an irrigation or sprinkler issues. Good job Elmer! read more

We were doing the irrigation system in the back yard ourselves during the weekend to save some bucks. Everything good but we then bust the valve. We had to shut down the water for everything in order to stop the flood, as there was no separate shutoff for the back yard system. So we yelp around for this in the middle night. EC irrigation Repair responded in the very early morning at 6am. They arrived at 11.30am, exact time as promised. That is a huge plus for me to do businesses, to be on time. He quoted very fair about what's going to be done, and said will be back around 3.30pm to get it done. I trusted these guy so much because they responded fast, act on time. They did show up at 3.30pm, spend about 2hours and fixed everything, they even add a shutdown switch for the bank yard sprinklers. They cleaned up everything after job done. I would recommend EC irrigation Repair to anyone. Because they took their business seriously, on time and professional. They were wearing the mask all the times because of COVID19, as they wanted to protect their customers. read more

Thank you EC Irrigation repair for saving me. Got a palm tree removed and they destroyed my sprinkler system. Elmer and his coworker came and fixed it. Thank you guy's. I appreciate your time read more

The owner is phenomenal! He gave us a quote right away, was super responsive to all my questions, had the best price in town, and even came by a few weeks after the job to fix a couple sprinklers that my dog chewed! I would definitely recommend them! read more

Elmer saved the day! Please choose Elmer, he is an expert. My backyard sprinkler work was completely ruined by a different landscaping man who did not know what he was doing. He was cheap but he ruined everything. We got problems we didn't have before, the edges of our grass was completely dry and weeds started taking over. We had bald spots randomly showing up on our grass. To make things worse, our sprinkler pumps were constantly leaking so much water. To the point where my floor boards (my room is next to sprinkler valves/pumps) we taking in too much moisture that glue started coming from the vinyl wood floor boards! I was scrubbing the floor every 2 days because of the constant sticky glue coming up. Elmer came and fixed everything. I feel like I have my life back no longer scrubbing glue off the floors lol. He did such a great job and works quickly too. Thank you Elmer. read more

When I purchased my home, I inherited a sprinkler system that was not working correctly. I found Elmer on Yelp and had him come out and give a quote. He was able to work with me and provide different suggestions for how to fix my problems based on how much I wanted to spend. We scheduled the work and he fixed all of my issues completely. Also, he was not even the one that had originally placed the sprinkler line but some plants were blocking the optimal path so he came out and moved the line at no cost! Great Service, Great price and can't recommend enough. read more

Outstanding service! Elmer worked with me to ensure the sprinkler system in our new home was working perfectly. He made sure all of the sprinklers provided sufficient water for every inch of grass and all of our plants. He even gave me advice on how much and how often to water each area when he was done. All at a reasonable price. You can't ask for anything better. Highly recommend! read more

We had a 40 year old sprinkler system and when planting new plants learned our irrigation was inadequate and wasteful. I got 3 quotes. EC irrigation had not only the best price, but they did INCREDIBLE work. I was so incredibly satisfied with Elmer - he was fair, he communicated often and clearly, he explained everything, he did very professional and high quality work, and did it quickly. I would recommend him and his team to everyone I know - I won't go anywhere else! Fast forward to today, my lawn is green and and my flowers are in full bloom - I'm getting so many compliments on how it all looks and more importantly it brings me so much joy! read more
