L&M Irrigation Inc

L&M Irrigation Inc runs the sprinkler and drip-irrigation systems for Norwood and the towns around it — Newton, Brookline, Needham, Westwood, Canton, Walpole, and Dedham — handling installs, seasonal start-ups and winterizing, controller programming, and low-voltage landscape lighting. Reviewers keep naming the same person behind the work: Marbin (also spelled Marvin), described as a hands-on owner. Across 24 Google and Angi reviews running from 2022 through mid-2026, every rating on file is 5 stars, and the specifics repeat rather than thin out. One customer had zone valves and heads replaced and a Rachio smart controller installed and programmed. A condo association with a large, complicated system describes Marbin as a godsend who serviced every zone, fixed troubled drip lines, and once diagnosed a buried line severed by a fence crew, showing up on a holiday to fix it the same day. A referral customer describes the whole visit going as promised: a call back, an on-time appointment, a recommended filter, and a fair price for the work. Another describes years of returning each fall and spring to flush and winterize the system and, more recently, an outdoor lighting install controlled through an app. One thing worth asking about before booking: the company's own tenure claims don't line up. Its website hero reads 'over 12 years' in business, the footer on the same site says 'over 4 years,' and its Angi profile shows 11 years in its highlights but 'more than 10 years' in its About text — with no founding year stated consistently anywhere. For a Norwood-area homeowner who wants the same person handling install, seasonal upkeep, and troubleshooting each visit, L&M's reviews describe a steady, personal operation across dozens of jobs — just get a straight answer on how long they've actually been doing this before signing on.
