Dobson Irrigation installs and services lawn sprinkler systems, and the company says on its website that it has been in business since 1969 and works within Fairfield County. The towns its site lists include Greenwich, Stamford, Darien, Norwalk, Westport, Ridgefield and Fairfield. A recent Google customer says Dobson installed their 20 zone system in 2008 and that every year they need to fix 10-15 breaks and/or faulty wiring. That customer says the pipe used was recalled by the manufacturer the same year it was installed, and that John Dobson tried to blame them for not buying a $750 annual service contract. A recent Google customer says they were just double charged and the company had no idea why. A 2025 customer said it took 3.5 weeks to fix a few leaks after weeks of waiting for an activation appointment. A 2025 customer who had used the company for 2 years said water was leaking after a visit to re-open the system, and that they were told "we don't have time to send our technician back out there." A 2022 customer said the company was hard to contact, with a long wait for service on an inoperative system. A 2022 customer said they always called to schedule the necessary services. A 2022 customer called them professional and on time.
“Firefighters were working to shore up the Dobson building, which was seriously damaged in the accident.”
“A pickup truck had struck the corner of Dobson Irrigation, the business located there.”
Dobson installed my 20 zone system in 2008 and it has been HORRIFIC ever since. Every year I need to fix 10-15 breaks and/or faulty wiring in the system. I've needed to replace over 200 feet of piping since the original installation. Some breaks are due to tree roots, that's normal. But 90% are due to the faulty pipe they installed. The pipe they used was recalled by the manufacturer the same year they installed it. John Dobson knew it and he installed it anyway, and then tried to blame me because I wouldn't buy a $750 annual service contract from him. Their faulty pipe consistently fails under normal use. This company's MO is to sell faulty equipment, then require an expensive annual service contract to fix their faulty installation & equipment. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. There are plenty of reputable competitors -
Was just double charged and they have no idea as to why.
They are good, but 3.5 weeks to fix a few leaks after weeks of waiting for activation appointment. Waiting times just too long!
Have used these guys 2 years now and finally gave up and moved on. Every time there is a "leak" or some other issue with the system. Then they came out recently to "re-open" the system after checking it 2 weeks ago and I've got water leaking. They didn't tell me or report anything until I called back in and they told me "we don't have time to send our technician back out there." Terrible customer service to begin with but even more so for someone who has been a customer for a number of years. They don't even deserve one star.
Poorly run company Right hand doesn't know what the left is doing So many other choices....
