I've used Auto-matic lawn sprinkler for the past several years. Start up and winterizing services…read moreare good until you need additional service. Had a cut in my wire and had them splice in 30ft of sprinkler wire. I was told it's expensive wire as they charged $6.5 a ft. Internet price is $1.05 per ft. They ended up charging $420 with less than a hour of labor to replace 30ft of wire (splicing it in). Last time dealing with a company that gets their ft. to your door with a low start up cost but gouges on any additional work. I also asked for a price to install a WiFi controller (I had purchased from Amazon) since they were already here. The quote was $295 to hang it on the wall wired up and extra to program. I said no thanks and installed it (never installed one before) in ten minutes and then fully programmed it on my phone in under 10 minutes. It's not about the $$$$ it's about the lack of ethics /transparency.

It was easy to set up an appointment and the owner seemed knowledgeable. Unfortunately, it went…read moredownhill after that. This is a family business and they specialize in servicing sprinkler systems only (ie no new installs). I needed my sprinkler systems serviced due to a specific problem I was having. They seemed hell bent on replacing the valves in my sprinkler system, with each one being costly. They didn't actually diagnose the problem, but simply told me that replacing valves would fix. Three replaced valves and problem wasn't fixed. They were also eager upsell and charge me ~$200 for a 15 min labor and $50 part to optimize the flow of water through one region. Overall I felt the service was not good quality, rested on upselling services at ridiculous prices, and questionably transparency.

I have used Dave and his team since 2012 when he installed the system which is still working…read moretoday. We did have a problem with a leaky valve after a couple of years and later when the city replaced a fire hydrant . Dave's team QUICKLY diagnosed the 2 seperate issues and fixed it right. The valve was covered by rainbird and the city rembused us for Dave's repair. Not Daves fault but he was on it both times and tested the entire system to make sure it all worked before he left. Since then we have had no issues over the past 5 years except normal maintence. I would recommend Northern Illinois Irrigation to anyone looking to get a true expert on your side. They are the only ones who have turned on/off the system since it was installed. I rarely write a review good or bad but this company deserves to have great review. Bill K

As part of an association, I have the opportunity to compare other vendors with Northern Ill and know that Northern IL is tops! I would highly recommend Northern Il Irrigation to anyone who just might be looking to water their lawn, without all of the fuss!

Coincidentally my husband was on the hunt for a service to do just this. Daniel has since been back twice, once for a small emergency (to fix a sprinkler our landscapers accidentally damaged), and again this spring to turn our sprinklers back on for the season. He has always been incredibly kind, with honest pricing and great work. We love that he comes by the house now, too, because we don't have to worry about scheduling yet another service!
