A homeowner with a cracked irrigation hose had already tried a few places without getting it fixed. Alex's Irrigation came out in May 2026 and, in that customer's words, did a beautiful job. The company works residential irrigation on the South Shore out of Rockland: installation, repair, spring activation, mid-season checkups and winterization. Its site claims more than two decades in the trade, including years working in Europe and Brazil, and the reviews describe Alex himself doing the assessments and installs. Thumbtack has him hired 165 times with 103 projects on the page, and named the company a Top Pro in 2022, 2023 and 2024. How fast they answer is the first thing customers mention. A June 2026 homeowner with a new nine-zone system said they come the same day, and keep coming back to walk a self-described irrigation newbie through the programming. In July 2026 a Thumbtack customer described a technician named Julio troubleshooting a sprinkler system, finding several problems, repairing them, and then taking the time to reprogram the controller to better settings. A November 2025 customer had a system winterized quickly and called the price good. One July 2026 reviewer wrote that the company's leadership includes someone who spent more than 40 years at Hunter, the sprinkler manufacturer. That is the customer's account of it, not a claim the company makes on its own site. The numbers are not uniform across the platforms. Google shows five stars from nine ratings; Thumbtack shows 4.8 from 81, of which 91 percent are five stars and 4 percent are one star. The Angi page is new and carries no reviews, lists bushes, shrubs and painting alongside the sprinkler work, and gives experience figures that contradict each other — 7 years in one place, 10 and "over 20" in another — against the 26 years Thumbtack prints and the 20 the company's own site states. For opening a system in spring, draining it before the freeze, or working out why a zone has gone dead, this is a straightforward call — and several customers say the help with the controller keeps coming after the install is done. Ask who will be on your property, since customers name both Alex and Julio, and fix the price for the seasonal visits before the first one.
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.
