What to Expect from Your Contractor

From start to finish, here is what you should expect from your contractor.

An efficient, well-organized contractor will be happy to provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision.

To begin, the contractor will want to view your property in order to determine soil conditions, water sources and pressure, and planting materials.
After the initial meeting, the contractor should present you with a formal estimate. The estimate should be thorough and detail the various products used and the total price for materials and installation.
Along with the estimate, the contractor should clearly explain all the specifics to you.
When the job is finished the contractor should leave your lawn and garden free of trash and debris, and present you with instructions on how to care for your new automatic sprinkler system.
