Alex's Irrigation Corp works out of Rockland, and South Shore homeowners call it for one of two things: a sprinkler system that has stopped doing what it should, or the seasonal round of turning one on in spring and draining it before the freeze. Thumbtack shows 165 hires, a 4.8 rating from 81 ratings and Top Pro badges for 2022, 2023 and 2024; on Google it carries 5 stars from nine ratings. Speed is what customers write about first. A homeowner who had a nine-zone system installed wrote in June 2026 that they come the same day, and that when a self-described irrigation newbie needed help with the programming, they came straight back out. A May 2026 Thumbtack customer had reached out to a few places about a cracked irrigation hose before Alex's Irrigation came through and, in their words, did a beautiful job. A July 2026 Google reviewer called the company a gem of the south shore of Boston and said calls and texts get answered promptly. The repair work is more than swapping parts. An August 2026 Google reviewer described a system that was not running properly, and the crew diagnosing the fault and getting the whole thing working again. On Thumbtack in July 2026, a customer wrote that Julio troubleshot their sprinkler system, found multiple problems, made the repairs and then took the time to help reprogram it. In a November 2025 review, another customer said they came quickly to winterize and called the price fair. Two things worth pinning down before booking. The length of experience differs across their own listings: the company's site says more than two decades in irrigation, including work in Europe and Brazil, Thumbtack's profile says 26 years, and the Angi page highlights 7 years in one place and over 20 in another. And Thumbtack's breakdown of those 81 ratings runs 91 percent five-star with 4 percent at one star, so it is fair to ask how they handle a callback when a repair does not hold. For seasonal service and repairs on an existing system, or a straightforward new install, this is a good fit. Ask what the spring activation and winterization visits each cover, get an install quote written out by zone, and confirm insurance before anyone digs.
Alex Irrigation was very professional and cost friendly. They came on time and did exactly what he promised to do. I’m happy with the service and I would recommend him to others.
I had a great experience with Alex’s Irrigation. My irrigation system wasn’t working properly, and they did an excellent job diagnosing the issue and getting the entire system back up and running. They were professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and made sure everything was working properly before they left. I really appreciated the quality of the work and how efficiently they handled the problem. I would definitely recommend Alex’s Irrigation to anyone who needs irrigation system repair or service. Great job and excellent service!
Very responsive, timely, proactive notifications. The gentleman working on our system was friendly, knowledgeable, a pleasure to work with him.
Alex's irrigation co. is truly a gem of the south shore of Boston. They hit on all points you could possibly ask for in an irrigation co. When I called and texted, they answer promptly. Their expertise is exceptional - they have leadership who worked at Hunter for 40+ years, they know the latest tech, they conduct themselves (Alex and his team members) with utmost respect, positivity and professionalism. I met them when we needed to close our system last year. No issues, no questions, easy and affordable. This year, we had issues again with our lawn. After using a competitor for many years, I was asking Alex, why is my grass always dying in parts. He told me that some heads needed to be replaced, zone coverage was not close to ideal, and he gave me ideas, instead of simply 'closing' and 'opening' or wanting to create a new system from the ground up. He suggested we move some heads (out of mulch beds and into grass edges), he suggested new zones to ensure proper head-to-head coverage. He was at the house 5 days after the estimate, completed a large job in one day, and included 'checking' our heads/valves and system for any possible needs. At every turn, Alex was helpful and responsive. They stand by their work, I had to have Alex return to check on something and I called on the weekend, and he was there by 12 noon (he himself the owner) at my house to check on an issue I thought I was having. I had a ground wire - unrelated to the new changes he made, and he helped me fix it. I can't recommend him more highly. Small company, family oriented, absolutely delightful staff.
Julio was prompt, friendly, professional, and mostly importantly, extremely capable. He was able to troubleshoot my sprinkler system and find multiple problems and make the necessary repairs. Julio even took the time to help me reprogram my sprinkler system with the optimal settings. I am thrilled with the level of service I received.
