In an October 2025 Google review, a customer wrote that Autowater installed an irrigation system for their 10k square foot lawn in less than two days, working around tree roots and large rocks and putting the yard back together afterward. Chris had measured the yard and water pressure to set the number of heads and zones, sent a quote within a day, and later walked the customer through the Hydrawise app. Autowater Irrigation Co. is based in Waltham, Massachusetts; its website says it is owned and operated by a Master Plumber, states 20 years in business, and lists license #3821 and License #M-16248.

In a July 2025 review, a customer said Autowater installed their system in 2022 with lawn rotors and drip rings for individual trees across six zones, and that Chris Whitman has answered their emails in the three years since. In May 2026 a customer named Chris, Geoff and Jorge on an install they said was done on schedule with the property kept clean. In a June 2025 review, a longtime customer wrote that Chris, the General Manager, called back within two minutes about a failed watering zone, and Anthony, the Service Manager, arrived twenty minutes later and repaired a control valve. A September 2025 customer called owner Chris for an emergency blow-out in the fall, then had Anthony oversee a complete overhaul of their aged system. A 2025 Reddit commenter wrote that Autowater has handled their twice-annual maintenance for two years. In May 2023 a customer of many years wrote that they were shocked by the increased cost of a repair; Chris resolved the issue when they complained, and the company said it was working to improve communication around costs.
“had chosen Autowater Irrigation, For the past two years they've served us well for our twice annual maintenance.”
I recently had an irrigation system installed, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, the project was handled professionally, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. Chris, Geoff, Jorge, and his team were outstanding to work with. They were knowledgeable, responsive, punctual, and took the time to explain every step of the process. The crew worked incredibly hard, kept the property clean, and made sure everything was done properly and on schedule. The installation was seamless, and the final result exceeded my expectations. The system works perfectly, and you can tell the team truly cares about the quality of their work and customer satisfaction. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and skilled irrigation company. Thank you again to Chris, Geoff, Jorge, and the entire team for such a great job!
Autowater installed an irrigation system for my 10k square foot lawn. The process started when Chris came over to measure the yard and water pressure, to determine the number of sprinkler heads and zones that were needed. Chris was super friendly and easy to talk to. He was also very thorough as he asked about any future modifications we might make to the yard space so that our new system would support our needs now and in the future. Within a day he provided a quote that was competitively priced compared to other estimates we had received. We decided to move forward with Autowater. On install day, Chris arrived with the entire crew to explain the work they would be doing and answer any last minute questions we had. Once Chris and I did a final review together, Jorge and his installation team started. These guys certainly had their work cut out for them as our backyard has lots of tree roots and large rocks to work around. One thing I really appreciated was their attention to detail as they painstakingly put the yard back together after digging and laying the tubes and sprinkler heads. The entire job was completed in less than 2 days. Chris then took the time to walk me through the Hydrawise app that controls the irrigation system from your phone making watering such an easy process! My yard has never looked better and made my overseed project a breeze. If you haven't called Autowater, you should!
Our experience with Autowater Irrigation Co., Inc. was outstanding. We highly recommend them for tasks large and small. We contacted owner Chris out of the blue for an emergency system blow-out in the fall. They were quick, courteous, efficient and professional in their response. Later, after assessing our ancient irrigation system, they quoted us a price for a complete overhaul. We greenlighted the work this summer and could not be happier. Anthony, who oversaw our system replacement, is an irrigation maestro. He managed to make coherent sense of an aged and outdated system and even helped me (not an irrigation expert!) understand how to run our system from a shared app. Anthony and his Autowater colleagues take great pride in their work, as they should: I can't imagine anyone doing a better job and being better to work with than this team. My only regret is that we did not find and hire them sooner. Our new irrigation system has been a gamechanger for us. If you're looking for a crew to help you address your property's irrigation needs, Autowater should be your first call. (See photos for before and after!)
Excellent customer service, excellent work, excellent people—that’s Autowater. This summer my long-wonky irrigation system wasn’t working. In the midst of one of the summer’s heat spells, I contacted Autowater, not sure if they would even call me back. They did. The bottom line: Thanks to the deep knowledge and expertise and terrific work of the Autowater team, my irrigation system now runs better than ever. It’s a pleasure to deal with people who return calls, show up when they say they will—and text if they are running late—and do their work superbly. Everyone is friendly, courteous, professional, and customer-focused. Employees praise the owner for the enviable work culture; the owner compliments his employees. Autowater clients are the big winners.
The team was very thoughtful and strategic in their arrangement of my system. And my contact, Chris Whitman, is a pleasure to work with—very responsive, attentive, and knowledgeable. I particularly appreciate all the time he took to set up the app for me and to explain how it works. It’s great to have an app to monitor and adjust the irrigation as needed.
