I want to thank Michael who arrived as planned and took wonderful care of the sprinklers issue I had. It had taken a few people (sprinkler specialists, plumbers, drainers, builders) from different companies trying to evaluate the issue prior to the American Lawn Sprinkler Inc. coming. The issue was that my basement would flood any time I left it overnight programmed to run all zones or a specific zone running for a very short period of time. The water would come from the basement floor. Nobody could find where exactly the leak could be and what exactly caused it. Michael from American Lawn Sprinkler Inc. took the time and thoroughly investigated each and every sprinkler head adjusting and routing them away from the house, porch, and deck, and looking at the areas around. And he found the leak hidden in the middle of a hosta plant! It was really hard to figure out where the leak was. I have to give him a credit! He found it and fixed it the same day. The issue was resolved! I am very thankful to Michael. Respect for the company! Highly recommended!

American Lawn & Sprinkler is a great company to work with. The power knocked out my controller and when I called to see about getting it replaced, they were at my house and had a new one installed within hours. They also moved and adjusted a couple of my sprinkler heads when I explained a few issues I had noticed with my coverage. They are always professional and quick to respond when I have reached out. Highly recommend using them!

Frankie at American Lawn Sprinkler was incredible to work with. He was very professional, listened to our needs and got our project done in a timely manner. He made himself available to continue to help throughout our sprinkler installation, answering our questions and gave us the best recommendations. Thank you Frankie for being fast, friendly and helpful. If ever we are in need of more sprinkler or lighting services, we know who we will be calling. Definitely recommend American Lawn Sprinkler.

Very easy to work with. We had a 3 step process laid out for us which was helpful to coordinate schedules on all ends and also get someone to seed the lawn afterwards. Frankie was very professional and personable. Definitely did not mind interacting with him via text, in person, or a call. Very knowledgeable! All the workers seemed knowledgeable and were able to preform their duties in a timely manner, easy to discuss their specific plan for the day operations and complete the tasks without any issues. Highly recommend this company.

We had American Lawn and Sprinkler helped us when we moved with getting a new sprinkler system installed when a previous one was not able to be revived. They were professional the entire time, including being patient when we had other factors delaying our timeline. The system is modern and extremely useful, and the company has been great.

Could not recommend more highly!!! We used American Lawn for our new home's irrigation system and were very impressed, to say the least! Brian and his crew did an exceptional job with the layout - well thought through - and were very pleasant to have around our home. His crew was timely, professional, and overall a great group to work with. I'm looking forward to having them service my irrigation system for years to come.

We used American Lawn Sprinkler for our Christmas lighting display at our condo complex entrance. They did a great job. I received many compliments from our residents on how they thought the entrance never looked better. I personally spoke with the installers and was impressed with their enthusiasm and friendliness. We are looking forward to working with your team the next holiday season. Thanks for the great work!

This is a GREAT company to do business with. We have hired them for the past 3 years to manage our irrigation system; their work is excellent.We also have them put up all of our Christmas lights. This is a huge job! They light up our house and over 20 huge trees on our property! It’s breathtakingly beautiful! They store all of the lights and decorations as well.We highly recommend American Lawn due to their professionalism, eye for detail, promptness and overall excellent service 👍 We give them a 10/A+Everyone is a pleasure to work with.

We contracted American Lawn Sprinkler to install a sprinkler system in our new home. Frankie was our contact and the one who led the project. He made the process very easy, answered all our questions and made sure we understood the system operation. Frankie and his crew were very professional and organized. They have a system that makes the installation process run flawless. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and their cost was certainly not bad. Very satisfied with this company.

Matt and his associate from American Lawn Sprinkler did an outstanding job today. They were knowledgeable, professional and courteous. Matt answered all my questions and showed me how to operate my new sprinkler controller to my complete satisfaction. I highly recommend American Lawn Sprinkler and especially Matt and his team. Rest assured I'll be using this company again.

Brian was very responsive to calls texts and emails, and always available when I had questions. He kept us updated on scheduling of service and when the cruise would be on site. They were in and out in one days time, with lots of cleanup work completed on my behalf.Crews were professional, friendly, and well mannered. At completion Brian gave me a complete overview of the sprinkler system, set up, usage, and user tips to get the best experience. Could not recommend more highly!

Paul Gregory

00:17 28 Aug 21

American Lawn Sprinkler came recommended by several neighbors in the new construction sub we moved into in December, 2020. Brian was incredibly responsive from the first phone call and came out to do a complete estimate within a couple days. Throughout the entire process Brian has been a pleasure to deal with and very easy to get a hold of. Any questions, requests or concerns have been addressed in a timely manner, if not immediately. When it came time to do the install a small army came to the house and the entire install took less than a day (which included 14 zones and underground gutter drainage). After our sod was installed, they came back to adjust all the heads to ensure complete coverage. I am very pleased with the service we have received at a tremendous value as well. I would highly recommend American Lawn Sprinkler

Simply outstanding!We spoke with many potential irrigation companies and no one even came close to American Lawn Sprinklers. Frankie is absolutely the most professional, reasonable, and trustworthy service provider I’ve ever met, in any industry. Don’t do what I did and delay getting on their install list while shopping around, just do it! It’s so refreshing to finally work with a professional company. Call me if you want to speak with me, I’m so impressed I’ll use my time to provide a glowing reference.Tom

American Lawn Sprinkler did an excellent job of installing a new sprinkler system for me. Frankie was very professional and thorough in explaining the approach for design and addressed all my concerns. The delivery and implementation went extremely well, with minimal impact to lawn. I would highly recommend American Lawn Sprinkler for all irrigation work.

Larry Cooper

16:53 28 Jul 21

I've worked with numerous company's over the years trying to find the best service. American Lawn is the best company I've ever worked with! They came out were very friendly and professional. They did exactly what they said they would and were able to fix the sprinkler system i already had and were able to make it function even better than the first day i got over fourteen years ago! I will only use American Lawn Sprinkler from now on and i highly recommend them for anyone looking for a sprinkler company! Thanks American Lawn Sprinkler!

22:53 13 Jul 21

Frankie is an absolute expert. He came out for a quote on a full installation for 1.5 acres. He walked our lawn and knew exactly what it needed and the type of sprinkler head needed. He was VERY upfront about timing, cost and quality but never seemed pushy. He gave us options and education. He's also 4 weeks early than predicted!! SCORE!Now we have a state of the art system that reads the rain and doesn't water if not needed, is programmable from our phone, easy to use and even sends us email updates.Remarkable experience. Actually the easiest of all our recent contractors.

Catherine LaLone

10:55 05 Jun 21

The project manager listened to our needs and designed a system that was perfect for our yard!! He walked us through all the details of the system so that we would be able to program the system and make changes if necessary. The crew was very polite, worked hard, and did a good job. I would highly recommend them.

Andrew Zielinsky

00:38 02 Jun 21

Brian and his crew are simply the BEST! I recently made the mistake of going with the lowest bid and the end result was a total disaster. Like most things in life you get what you pay for... I called American Lawn Sprinkler and they came out the next day to fix my disaster of a lawn. Extremely happy with the end result. Thanks again!

Howard Thompson

We had the pleasure of working with American Lawn Sprinkler during a new system install at our home. From our first phone call with Frankie to the completion of our installation we have been very pleased. Our initial meeting with Frankie at our home was thorough and informative. He spent all the time necessary to explain their system and get acquainted with our needs. Our estimate was completed that very same day. When Sean and the crew arrived to perform the installation they were organized and professional. Sean made certain that all aspects of the job were handled properly, and the crew did a wonderful job cleaning up when they were finished. We highly recommend American Lawn Sprinkler!!

American Lawn Sprinkler installed a sprinkler system in our back yard. They were courteous, efficient, and cleaned up after they were finished. You can't even see where they disturbed the lawn to lay the piping. They installed the system in our front yard over 40 years ago and we have never had an issue with it. I recommend them highly.

Michelle Ramirez

12:50 24 Apr 21

Frankie and his team were outstanding from start to finish. He designed our irrigation and exterior lighting systems and managed the installation from start to finish. He remains a key point of contact when we need assistance. Brian was prompt on responding to a online request for lighting information as well. The service team does a fantastic job with seasonal start up and closing the system and thoroughly inspects each zone for function. Professional, competitive, reliable and trustworthy.

The company was extremely professional from day one. They came out to walk our property with us and show us what we needed and why. The installation was quick and done very efficiently, and they provide fantastic follow up guidance and assistance. I would highly recommend American Lawn Sprinkler to anyone.

Eric Campbell

15:56 12 Nov 20

I can't emphasize enough how much I appreciate this company. Friendly, responsive, professional, punctual, informative, innovative, and a great value. They set a more than reasonable date and time to come out to our home to winterize our system. They showed up on time. They were dressed professionally (clean) and their equipment looked well maintained. They used an app/online option for billing and payment. American Lawn Sprinkler will be doing all work on my sprinkler system. Thank you to Joe Pro Lawn Care for the recommendation.

So glad I heard about this company in the Nextdoor app from neighbors. They were right to recommend them. We had them out for estimate on new sprinkler system. Frankie was so patient with all our questions. The price was good and brands they use were high quality. The installation crew was quick and professional. Frankie came back out after to check everything and go over the sprinkler app. Again, very patient with answering all our questions. Wish every company was as professional. We will happily recommend them!

This has been by far the best experience I have had during this process of hiring different companies to complete service for our home. Since July we have had six other companies for different services out to our home and although they have all been pleasant and easy to work with,none come close American Lawn Sprinkler.From the initial walk around to the final install they have been available for any questions,courteous,professional,on time and have performed at a high level. I would like highly recommend this company. I believe you pay people for the value of the service they provide and hands down this is top notch,next level service. Shame on Google for only having 5 stars this service deserves 10. If you want it done right,and once. Hire American Lawn Sprinkler.

My husband and I are beyond ecstatic of our amazing experience with American Lawn Sprinkler! The entire process has been incredible, from the first point of contact to the completion of the job. Sprinkler systems are a brand new thing to us, and we reached out to American Lawn Sprinkler for a quote on our new home. Not only was Brian down to earth and very helpful in explaining the process and system, but he also designed a system custom to our future landscaping plans. We never felt pushed into making a decision once the detailed quote was delivered. Moving forward with the system installation, the work has been impeccable and our yard was left in beautiful condition. Utmost respect was taken with the inside of our home when installing the components in the basement. Additionally, in the 5 times that Brian and his team have been to our home to complete the installation and to help us understand the system, everyone we’ve come into contact with has treated us like family. Brian has even offered to come out and help make final tweaks once our grass seed comes in. American Lawn Sprinkler truly cares about its customers - we are ever grateful! You have a lifetime customer!

Frankie did an excellent job customizing our sprinkler system. He really helped me understand and explained all the features of our system. Shawn and his team were very professional and worked well and cleaned up after the system was installed. I very much thank Frankie, Shawn and their team for a great job.

Michelle Vallee

15:36 06 Aug 20

I am extremely pleased with the installation team lead by Shawn. They were professional and worked well together. They cleaned up after themselves and showed me each zones operation. Shawn was also a great communicator. The system design was perfect for my needs, thanks to Frankie. Overall it was a great experience and I am already recommending American Lawn Sprinkler to neighbors and friends. I can't thank Shawn, Frankie and the installation team enough!

We had American Lawn Sprinklers install a system in our new build home. Their sales Rep., Frankie, was the absolute best person we have dealt with thru our entire building process. He was on time, professional, and great with all our questions (even the ones after the initial sales meeting via text or email) and not one bit pushy...his down to earth, polite nature was the main reason we decided on using American over the other 4 bids we obtained (and American was not the cheapest...but the system and components are high quality).Would like to thank Frankie and the team at American for a great experience! We would recommend them to family and friends.

We experienced a lightning strike which took out our sprinkler system among other things. American Lawn Sprinkler (Matt) fixed us right up. He kept in touch with me to let me know he was on his way & worked diligently to replace my system, & get us back up and running. He showed me how to use the new system & was very friendly and professional. I was referred by a neighbor & plan to use them for all my sprinkler needs.

Gary Keller

14:03 21 Jul 20

American Lawn Sprinkler did an excellent job installing our irrigation. Frankie is an expert at what he does and made sure our system was completely customized and fit to meet our needs, while also being efficient with sprinkler head placement in a way to save us money. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and knowledgeable irrigation company.

Brian is incredibly thorough when laying out your lot, and he walked me through the entire process from start to finish - answering all the random questions I had. He came in at a very fair price and talked with me before starting any additional work. On the day of, I had forgotten a detail on the layout, but he spent time with me to make sure it was exactly right before the team installed our lines. I'd highly recommend American Lawn/Sprinkler.

This spring I ran an electrical line 359 feet from my house to my pole barn. In the process sprinkler lines and wires were cut and damaged. Dan came out twice and because of his persistence was able to repair,replace ,splice and reroute the wires and lines to get my system up and running. He has an enormous amount of patience and an extraordinary ability to ferret out and fix the problem. I would highly recommend Dan and American Sprinkler.

Dave Mc

13:10 26 Jun 20

The office staff when I called and technicians that came out were just terrific. They were highly knowledgeable, thorough and thoughtful. One could not ask for a nicer company to deal with. Five stars, definitely. Dave Mc; Orion

Had a new sprinkler system installed by American Lawn Sprinkler, Inc. last year. After opening the system this year many brown areas developed due to poor coverage. I contacted them yesterday and they were out first thing this morning to address the situation. The service tech, Josh Arnold, and his assistant were very thorough in correcting the coverage. They were very courteous and knowledgeable. I couldn’t be happier with the customer service from the initial call through the end of the service call.

Sam Will

Frankie is exactly what service/sales reps should be. Knowledgeable, friendly, thorough, and incredibly helpful. He educated me about the different features of our existing system and offered insightful recommendations to maximize performance. American Lawn is lucky to have him.10/10 visit - punctual, professional, and addressed/resolved 100% of my sprinkler issues - without costing me a fortune as previous companies had quoted. American has my business moving forward. Thanks Frankie.Christian D.

I apologize for not remembering our service persons name but he was fantastic. He is clearly an expert in this area but he took the time to educate me as I am new to the system. Very professional and even offered up some cost savings ideas that I will definitely implement. Could not have asked for better service.

Maureen Waller

American Lawn Sprinkler installed our sprinklers long ago and have serviced the system for many years. Always polite and informative. Never rush and ready to answer questions. Couldn't ask for a better company and great quality.

I am very glad the the team took th time to keep me aware as the weather changed as well. I never expected someone to come on a sunday. Thank you very much

Michele Butler

Brian and his team were extremely knowledgeable, professional and beyond helpful. They followed through on every commitment and did an amazing job of installing a completely new system at a fair price - I could barely even tell that they installed anything in my yard as it was cleaned up to perfection! Brian worked with me on options within my budget while thinking of ways to ensure the smallest detail was done - even made sure my well water wouldn’t hit my house to avoid rust marks! Very highly recommend!

Heather Bentley

19:42 16 Oct 19

Out of all of the work we had done in our backyard this past season, American Lawn Sprinkler was by far the most efficient, courteous and reasonable. We had a pool put in and they worked with us from the beginning to ensure that we had the correct materials in place before the cement deck was poured, which drastically helped with planning -physically and financially! They worked with us tirelessly with our ever changing schedule and even installed in the rain to get it done for us before the sod showed up. I am so appreciative and pleased with the support and communication from Frankie Ferrara, and his team. Thank you again.

John Gawlik

I searched high and low to find the right person to do our new build irrigation system. I had over 10 different companies out to the house, but decided on American Lawn and Sprinkler. From the first meeting with Frankie I could tell he was dedicated to the job, treated us and our situation for all of its unique characteristics, and was detailed in his efforts to put in the right system. He and his team were excellent and polite during the installation and they took the time to show me everything and explain how it all works. They have provided our family with a wonderful irrigation system install and experience and I highly recommend them. Their prices were excellent and they use top of the line materials and systems. Stop looking at get in touch with American Lawn and Sprinkler!
