Can anyone recommend someone to service our lawn sprinkler? We recently moved here and want to have our system checked out turned on for the summer.
Thanks! |

Do you know who installed the system? If so, I'd give them a call first.

Emerald -- can't recommend them highly enough. (both for start up/ shut down & repairs)
Last summer the gas company replaced our gas line, in the process they mangled the srinklers in 2 places. Emerald came out almost immediately, so they could fix it while PSEG was still on site.
Compared to some of the robber barrons around here. I believe they charge $150 or so for start up and shut down -- my neighbors used that other plumbing outfit mentioned here occasionally, and were charged $300 just for start up! Emerald has their main office in Springfield or Union, as I recall.

LOVE Emerald too!
Embarrassed to admit - our old service charged us $730 for a service contract or they wouldn't do "start-up" until early July.
Emerald came right out - $70 start-up and the workers are nice as pie. |

Since everybody "loves" Emerald I would love to have the phone number. It was not posted. |

Thanks for all of the recommendations! I called Emerald and they are coming out today! That sounded like an excellent price after I got a quote for over $300 to do the start up/shut down from another local company.

Just curious, what is the startup/shutdown of a sprinkler system, and what's the ballpark for an install? My lot is 50x150. |

NEW JERSEY LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION CONTRACTORS CERTIFICATION ACT, N.J.S.A. 45AA-1
Please be advised that the State of New Jersey requires an irrigation license for contractors who are performing irrigation services.
A complete list of licensed contractors is availible through the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection at 609-777-1012. All contractors in violation of this law are to be reported to the New Jersey Landscape Irrigation Contractors Examining Board and are subject to fines ranging from $500 -$1500 or higher.
http://www.ianj.com/
Non-certified contractors can be reported
New Jersey Lanscape Irrigation Contractor Examining Board Department of Enviromental Protection Bureau of Revenue CN 417, Trenton, NJ 08625-0417.
Just so there is no confusion, the irrigation contractor STILL needs a Licensed Master Plumber to connect the potable source And the required Back-Flow Preventer, And still must secure a permit. |

I've been happy with Spring House. I only use them for shut down (system blow out). Start up is very easy to do yourself. |
