L&M Irrigation Inc

L&M Irrigation Inc is a Norwood, Massachusetts irrigation contractor — sprinkler installation, repairs, spring start-ups, mid-season turn-ups, drip systems, controller programming, compressed-air winterisations and low-voltage landscape lighting — working a radius around Norwood that takes in Newton, Brookline, Needham, Westwood, Canton, Walpole and Dedham. Reviewers deal with the owner directly and name him: Marbin. A 2025 customer called him "a hands on owner" whose commitment and pride in the work were obvious; another had him install a system two years earlier and has used him since. A 2026 customer says he diagnosed a fault that turned out not to be the irrigation at all and did not charge for the visit. A condominium association describes him servicing every zone of a large, troublesome shared system over a year. Another had heads replaced and added, every zone valve replaced, and a controller installed and programmed. Seasonal work is what most people call about, and the accounts are consistent on the basics: on time, priced as quoted, explaining the system to owners who inherited one with the house. Winterisation blow-outs come up repeatedly in the autumn reviews. Angi separately publishes 5.0 from six reviews dated 2022, including a $2,000 system installation, and records that the business speaks Spanish. Two things to check rather than assume. The company's own tenure claims do not agree: the website hero says over 12 years of experience, the footer on every page of the same site says over 4 years, and Angi says 11 years in one field and more than 10 in another — so treat any "years in business" figure here as unverified. And the review history is bunched: of 24 reviews, six carry the same date in June 2025 and several more cluster on two days in autumn 2024, which is the shape of batch review requests rather than a steady stream. For sprinkler start-ups, blow-outs, repairs and a new system in the Norwood ring, the record is positive and the owner is the person who turns up.
