I had them service the irrigation system in my house. It had been installed by the previous homeowner and the tech was very patient as he walked through the settings with me. He spent a lot of time making sure everything was working, even digging through the dirt to show my where the water was coming out of the drip system. He diagnosed and fixed a portion of the yard that wasn't getting water. He was polite and professional - I'll have them back next year! read more

Great quality people and service. My system was well planned and executed. Service, communication, and billing have all been professional

Used to use this company for many years, but last year was the last. After their worker was here to service my system in the spring, I checked to make sure the control box was locked after he left and found that the lock had been broken. It appeared as if it had been forced open or closed, as little pieces of plastic from the latch were still at the bottom of the control box. When I called them to let them know, they said they'd talk to their worker and get back to me. They did call back and said that their worker said he didn't break the lock (of course). I said he was either mistaken or lying and I wanted Mike (the owner) to call me. When he did, he had nothing to offer except defending his employee. Well, OK then. Here's what a company who valued a long time customer would have done: they would have said "Sorry the lock is broken. Our guy said he didn't do it, but whatever the reason the lock is broken, how can we fix this for you?" It's clear they don't need my business. read more

Mike and company installed a drip system at our house in August. I wish we had them do one years ago. They were able to do the job quickly and set us up with the watering app with ease. read more

Wow, Mike and team are just fantastic. Super friendly, responsive and professional. We have had them address several issues over the years (due to contractors snapping pipes) and most recently with a failed control unit. The team was fantastic and would give more than five stars if I had to option! read more

A few years ago we gathered a bunch of estimates for residential irrigation given the increased heat in Seattle over summer. What struck me with many other quotes was the obstinacy of many businesses insisting on digging trenches, which was utterly insane given the topography of our plot which was very, very steep! The only possibility was to consider well-placed drip lines over the slopes and directly into the potted sections of the patio and deck. We already had a funky drip line system installed by the previous owner that was hideous, impractical and ugly. Enter Sound Irrigation:) Mike was kind, attentive and listened. He was the only one to make a considerate plan that suited our property and garden needs. His plan was clear, logical and wonderful. Aly is a very competent and kind office manager, so communication and scheduling is a breeze. I love the Rachio wi-fi smart control system. From my iPad or phone it is so easy to adjust the watering system to a number of sections depending on the weather changes. We had to disconnect two areas for a few seasons due to renovations. When Mike returned recently for a start-up, he took note of the change and made a point to improve that section's installation. Justin and Aldo were able to come out within a few hours and re-hook up that area as they had the required equipment on hand. We are so happy to support this local business. Kindness goes a long way. We have dealt with the same hard workers over the years who are content and reliable. And they are just sweet people to work with. Now that's a sign! read more

Beyond Impressed! Mike and his team really exceeded our expectations. Every element of the process was awesome. From the quote, to the follow up, to the work and post work questions. They left our new home looking like they were never there. Clean, tidy, and the new Rachio system they installed has been worth its weight in gold.. read more

After 8 years of using Mike, this Summer takes the cake. Waiting 6 weeks to get an appointment, Mike shows up, berates me about how dissatisfied I've been for 8 years with his services and how I should take my business elsewhere! I can't make this up. I had to beg him to do the simple job I needed and had been waiting for for almost 2 months. Then when he left I told my husband what had happened and he decided to rewind the tape. The entire interaction was recorded on our Ring! Classic. He was appalled and I have it on file to assure anyone who thinks Mike cares or has an ounce of respect for his customers is a complete farce. In addition to his disrespectful way of speaking to anyone, his service was terrible, and over priced. Be VERY careful hiring him. And contact me directly to get recommendations for a service worth the experience and value. read more

I discovered Sound Irrigation because a neighbor had them install their sprinkler system. I was able to get a quote quickly and have the installation completed within a month (it was early August when I requested, and they started the work in September). They arrived on time, as promised, and completed a pristine installation because they used a pipe puller instead of a trencher which left the yard looking great. After the installation, we did have a few issues, which were resolved quickly. First, my quote was for a Rachio timer, instead of the Rain Bird that they installed and Mike simply swapped that out for me. Second, I had some slight coverage issues on the parkway and they tweaked the coverage and added an additional head. Most recently, one of the tees from the water main to the sprinker system broke and Mike came by immediately on a Sunday to fix it. Absolutely no hassles! Sound Irrigation recently completed installation of landscape lighting around our home. The results were incredible and it made a big difference in our yard's evening/nighttime appearance. read more

Sound Irrigation - Great Experience Thank you, Mike, Justin, and Aldo for the awesome work installing our sprinklers. My wife and I are so happy with the results. And it only took 2 days. These guys are awesome. After contacting several irrigation companies and getting quotes for the sprinkler installation, I decided to go with Sound Irrigation. I contacted Mike, and he came out to the house and provided a written estimate. There were no hidden charges and everything was explained to me in great details. Within 10 days I was able to get the guys to come out and get started. On the day of the install Justin and Aldo came out and began working earlier than I expected. They came to the door wearing their protective Covid masks. And took their shoes off when entering the house. They worked quietly and efficiently when they needed to use the crawl space to set up the wiring for the zones. My wife works from home and she was not interrupted by the crew working in the yard or crawl space. At the end of each day they picked up all their tools, swept and made the lawn look tidy again. Mike and his team really exceeded our expectations. Every element of the process was awesome. From the quote, to the follow up, to the work and post work questions. They left our lawn looking like they were never there. Clean, tidy, and the new Rachio 3 system they installed has been worth its weight in gold. Justin took the time to go over every aspect of the sprinkler app to make sure we knew how to navigate it to meet our watering needs. They let us know they'll come out for a winter shutdown and a spring reopening of the sprinkler system I highly recommend Sound Irrigation. You'll receive 5 Star service. You won't be disappointed read more

I recently purchased a second home in Seattle. I needed a sprinkler system since I only plan on being in the home part time. Fortunately I was able to get on Sound Irrigation's packed schedule this summer. It's only been a couple months but I've been thrilled with the results. Great company to work with and excellent customer service. read more

Some friends got their irrigation done by S.I. recently. Mike is great. Totally dependable. Does the work himself. I appreciate the fact that the owner who knows what he's doing is the one that actually does the work. And I love the fact that the yard isn't destroyed to put in the irrigation. Nothing worse than a great sprinkler system to just water dirt patches. If only they would move to Southern California. read more

I love them!!!!! They are very friendly, trustworthy, efficient and professional. I love that Mike, the owner, is very much involved. Alyson is great with communication & always gets back to me when I email her. She's quick to schedule appointments and get me in. I'm very much appreciative to have Sound Irrigation! read more

We went with Sound Irrigation to install a sprinkler system based on the positive Yelp reviews. They did not disappoint. I like companies that underpromise/overdeliver. Their price was competitive. They were able to squeeze us in sooner than estimated which we really appreciated. Mike, the owner, and Justin, our installer, were great. Very knowledgeable, friendly and diligent. One of them will come back in the Spring to walk us through working the system. read more

Hired Sound to do a large (12 zone) residential sprinkler system and landscape lighting as well as commercial sprinkler system. Great customer service (took tons of care to explain and made small adjustments after a super detailed walk thru) and organized (scheduling, crew came on time and prompt quote). Online billing system is very easy. The install itself, requiring digging through hills and beds with nothing disturbed, was impeccable. Happy with the design and professionalism of the crew as well. read more

Thank you Mike! This project was a critical item for me earlier this Spring, and you really delivered to my expectations! Mike really listened to what I wanted in an automated irrigation system. (After years of deliberation and homegrown manual irrigation system attempts, I had some unique ideas.) Not once did he try to convince me that I didn't know what I wanted or that what I really wanted/needed was much more exten$ive. He even took the time to restate what I had explained and walk through everything element of the system with me before providing a bid to ensure he fully understood what I wanted. He gave a reasonable bid, worked closely with me on scheduling to ensure timing, work days, and completion all met my crazy schedule needs, and everything was put back together in a way that even I could barely remember where he had dug. Upon completion of the installation, he clearly explained the timer and all system components, as well as what else I could do with the system in the future, if I chose to expand or further adapt it to my needs. Also, the timer he chose seems intuitive and unobtrusive while offering ample system and zone scheduling flexibility. Now, I have lawn sprinklers, bedding irrigation, automated watering on my veggie garden, and even micro lines for pots and starts. My neighbors have expressed how "park-like" my yard looks this Spring, how my purple rockcress delights them every morning as they drive away, and how much envy they are harboring over my syste,. ;) Of course, I mention your name and business to ensure you get the credit! read more

I was pretty impressed with this company. I had called another company to winterize my irrigation system and got jerked around for three weeks while they never called back or scheduled me as promised. (As posted on another Yelp review) So I found Sound Irrigation and called them. Not only was the woman who answered very cheerful and enthusiastic, she committed a date right then. Called me back to confirm. Mike came over on the day promised. Sound Irrigation has earned my future business for maintenance and repairs of my new watering system. read more

Very professional outfit. Mike, the owner, was very responsive and Justin who did the installation was great. The installation was done on time and we look forward to working with them as far as spring and winter maintenance. We would recommend them highly. read more

I wish every service provider was this honest, competent and reliable. Mike showed up on time, had great ideas for modifying my existing system and provided me with a fair quote. The office manager promptly called me to set up an appointment. They showed up on the scheduled date and completed the work as discussed. Amazing. Just had Mike come back to look at the control system which wasn't operating properly. He can out when he was scheduled, fixed the issue and even took the time to adjust some of the sprinklers. read more

Terrible experience! Mike and a college student replaced many of my sprinkler heads with new heads that Mike said would be much better for my lawn. I did not ask Mike to replace those heads but since he said they'd be better, I took his advice. However, it's pretty obvious that they are not better as they shoot the water in a single stream that goes too far and is watering the sidewalk in front of my grass. So, my grass that was nice and green before Sound Irrigation came is now brown and dead in several sections of the lawn. They also changed part of my sprinkler system from sprinkler heads to a drip irrigation system. While installing the drip system they broke one of my expensive outdoor lights and did not even tell me. I discovered it shortly after they left. A few of the other outdoor (in ground) lights also no longer work because they cut the wires when installing the drip system. Because they replaced a bunch of my sprinkler heads that were working before, Mike promised to leave me a box of my old sprinkler heads before he left but he did not do so and he took them with him. I asked for them back the next day via email but they told me that they only took 2 sprinkler heads from my property and would not return them (they actually took 8 sprinkler heads from my property). Mike came to my house about 6 weeks before the job and we walked through the project ahead of time. Mike promised to install a drip line to the planter boxes in front of my house but when he came for the job he said he forgot to bring enough drip line to complete it so he put in half of what he said was needed and I would need to continue watering the flowers / plants by hand but that defeats the purpose of paying Sound Irrigation so I wouldn't have to do so. They also ran a line to put a new sprinkler head in bushes that previously didn't have one but the sprinkler head is too high so it shoots the water over the boxwood bushes and a good portion of the water lands on my driveway and is a big waste of water. I asked Sound Irrigation to come back to my house to fix the issues listed above and their response was that they "would not be able to satisfy me" and if I didn't pay their invoice immediately they would send it to collections which means I'll incur additional finance and interest charges. I now need to hire another irrigation company to fix the work that Sound Irrigation did. Mike offered me a slight discount but it is a fraction of the cost I'll incur for hiring someone else to fix all of the issues I now have to deal with in addition to having to reseed my lawn after another company installs sprinkler heads that are good for my lawn and don't waste so much water. read more

Mike in team did a great job at a competitive price very thorough and came back through to correct an item as well I would highly recommend

Loved them to do winterizing but needed a riding arena watered evenly - and I mean EVENLY, footing for competing (or any) horse should not be a compromise. Dimensions 198x66 (6 heads on each side of the 198' long side) and the previous system (installed approx 10 yrs ago) watered the sides nice and even but left approx 5 foot unwatered area down the centerline (I hand watered it for many years and really got tired of the time drain every evening) The heads pop up from the sides of the arena to water then disappear. Sound Irrigation came and said they could fix the issue. Installed new heads and it is WORSE! I have these big V shaped voids of water (dry area) in front of every sprinkler head. They came to try and fix/adjust it and proclaimed "I cant believe this didn't happen before" like I was telling a fib (this was seriously insulting)..I politely explained "I would NOT have paid money to make my situation worse!" Then he said, nothing more I can do except put big extenders on or a big power/pressure booster ("more expensive", their words). I asked for my old sprinkler heads back (they said they have them) but haven't heard. If I could get the old ones back I would re-install them myself! Pretty sure some of you may have dead grass/plants due to this issue! Update- Talked to Mike and he was going to work with me on this. New update- They wanted me to take the "review" off/down before they came back and have not returned my old sprinkler heads. I have received a number of emails telling me "I heard it wrong". Sad. Mike is right, don't hire someone that waters grass to water an arena! The original company I hired did do arenas (I had an issue with the "wife" not the installation / service) I have now replaced the sprinkler heads and adjusted them myself and they are working great! EWING Irrigation and Landscape supply in Kirkland is awesome and supplied me with everything I needed to do the work myself! read more

First of all I called to get a quote for a new installation of a sprinkler system and they called me back with in 1 day! I tried to call other companies for additional quotes and they never call back! The owner Michael came out and gave me a quote that I could not turn down. Very reasonable. Super friendly and professional. The crew came and did a great job! I couldn't be more pleased! I have told my neighbors about them and they are calling for quotes! I look forward to doing business with Michael & his company for years to come! read more

If you need a sprinkler system (or someone to service it) Mike's your man. While he's worked on some major projects (Street of Dreams, etc.) he still has time for the little guy (or girl ;). His follow up is great - we always know when it's time for our sprinkler check-up. Sound Irrigation is head and shoulders above the competition. read more

I recently had a sprinkler system installed in my yard and Mike did a wonderful job! Not only did he complete the job in a short amount of time, my yard looks untouched. Mike also walked me through the operation of the system and how to use the timer. After my great experience with Sound Irrigation I have recommended them to all of my friends that are in need of a sprinkler system! read more

I called Sound Irrigation because I couldn't get the sprinkler system at my in-laws' house to work. I tried Aquasense first, because they've been there before, even though their service is abysmal. Sound gave me a two hour window during which they'd arrive, unlike Aquasense which uses the four hour hold and then don't send the right guys. Mike from Sound showed up five minutes early and had things running perfectly in half an hour. And he came less than a week after I called in a very hot and dry spell so I'm sure the demand is high this year. Great service, good guy: he'll get the call from now on. read more

We contacted Sound Irrigation towards the end of May to get an estimate on a new system in our very large backyard. A nice gentleman by the name of Justin showed up ON TIME a few days later. He quickly learned we didn't know a lot about sprinkler systems and he very patiently walked us through some options, never pushing one over the other. I asked for a quote and Mike delivered it in a few days. My husband and I decided on the full system for hte backyard with the bigger controls to add the front yard at a later date. we also went with the wireless system which is awesome!! Due to the time of year, we had to wait 3 weeks for an appointment but it was worth it. They showed up on the install day ON TIME, were very professional again and walked us through their install plan. We left for the day, came back from work and they were gone but all their tools and supplies were nicely stored in one area and not all over. The trench lines through our grass were so clean and precise that the grass was barely disturbed. The next day they came back, finished and Mike showed up after 5pm (when we get home from work) to give a demonstration of our new, AMAZING, system and the 3 zones (2 for the big yard & 1 for the garden) they setup. I highly recommend Sound Irrigation to anybody looking in to either installing or upgrading their sprinkler system!! read more

I was leaving for a vacation and just had a new lawn seeded. It had to stay wet but I had a problem with my wires outside. They responded to e-mail within one day and we're able to swing by and had it all fixed quickly. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

I am surprised that the other 2 reviews are so wonderful. We had a TERRIBlE experience with Mike and Sound Irrigation. He started a job in the fall and now in July it is still not done! After countless emails and phone calls he claims he was going to finish the job but has not. We are going with another company. Plus, he just comes into my backyard without notifying me first, and that is just not cool. Yes, we spoke to him about that. read more

Professional service, right on with his estimate for work done, and worked hard to meet deadlines. Came highly recommended, and we can see why. Don't usually write a review for this kind of work, but this guy, Mike Lynch did an awesome job and knows what he is doing, a true master at his craft. A pleasure to do business with. read more

Mike did our front yard last year and he was fine although we had to live with brown trench lines most of the summer. I think his helper was to blame for that. This year, I was planning to get the backyard done but he has missed two appointments. This last one, he did not call or email to say he would not make it. I expect I'll be calling someone else. read more

After getting two very high water bills, I called Sound Irrigation and told them I suspected I had a water leak. Despite high demand for their services, they accurately diagnosed and fixed my problem. I give these guys an A+! read more

we had an old system that had been neglected for years or abandoned would be more accurate.Sound Irrigation saved some of the old system and replaced that which could not be saved.The work was prompt and efficient and well done. Pricing was very resonable for the quality of the experiance. I would highly recommend Sound Irrigation. read more
