Bristol County Irrigation

Two homeowners, one in June 2014 and one in April 2016, reached for the same line about Bristol County Irrigation: once the job was done, you couldn't tell the crew had been there. That is a strange compliment for a trade whose work involves trenching a lawn, and it is the thing customers of this Taunton sprinkler company kept coming back to. The BBB lists it at 15 years in business with Eric Loura as owner, and a veterans' business directory lists it as veteran-owned, Army. The jobs people wrote about are the everyday span of an irrigation outfit. In April 2015, a crew showed up early and installed six zones across a 10,000-square-foot front yard, with the system programmed and running in under five hours. An August 2013 customer had four sprinkler heads replaced, the rest adjusted and a leaking pipe fixed. That December, someone left a message around 7pm, heard back the same night, and had the system winterized the next day. Price and presence come up often in the older accounts. A May 2015 reviewer described the owner on the job site working alongside two others, the whole thing finished in a day, and said the other bidders had come in at almost twice the cost. In October 2014, a homeowner who collected three estimates said this one gave the most information and detail about the job. A September 2017 customer put it another way: Eric was offering an option rather than selling something. One thing to weigh. The written accounts run from 2013 to 2020, so the stories above are a few seasons old, even though Angi and HomeAdvisor each still show 4.9 from 30 ratings. When you call, ask who will be running the crew and what the quote covers. For a new sprinkler system, a seasonal winterizing or a head-and-pipe repair, these reviews describe a small crew that worked fast, explained the options and put the yard back.
