Rainfall Irrigation has been on South Shore properties long enough that some customers measure the relationship in decades: the company itself says it's been running since 1987. Based in Kingston, the crew installs and services in-ground sprinkler systems, with landscape lighting, outdoor audio, holiday lighting and mosquito and tick control on the side, working Kingston, Plymouth, Duxbury, Marshfield, Hingham, Cohasset and Boston. The Google history backs that up: 4.9 stars across 72 ratings, with 55 reviews on file from 2022 through 2026. Several reviews name individual technicians — Kyle, Ryan, Steve, Jake, Mike — for being on time, explaining repairs in plain terms, and running spring start-ups and fall shutdowns without a fuss. A few describe genuinely long relationships: one customer says they've used the company for irrigation work for more than 40 years, another for over 20, and one commercial client says Rainfall has maintained their properties for years at what they call fair pricing. Worth asking about directly: a 2026 review describes a winterization miscommunication that the customer says caused thousands of dollars in water damage, and the reviewer says the company never made it right. Reviews also don't agree on who owns the business — a 20-year customer credits Steve, while several more recent ones describe Matt personally following up on installs — so it's worth clarifying who you'd actually be working with. This is a strong call for routine irrigation service and new sprinkler installs on the South Shore. Given the one dispute, ask specifically how they handle fall winterization and what happens if something goes wrong, and confirm coverage before signing on for a larger job.
I don’t write many reviews, but Rainfall Irrigation absolutely earned this one. From start to finish, Matthew Donovan and his crew were outstanding. My property is full of clay and rock, yet the team worked incredibly hard without cutting corners. Matt didn’t just manage the project—he was on-site every day making sure everything was done right. Even after the installation was complete, he returned several times to ensure the system was operating perfectly and that I was completely satisfied. It’s refreshing to find a contractor who truly stands behind their work, keeps their word, and genuinely values their customers. The irrigation system is phenomenal, the service was exceptional, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. Having worked with more than 20 contractors during my new home construction, I can honestly say Rainfall Irrigation is a diamond in the rough. If you’re looking for quality workmanship, professionalism, and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend Matthew Donovan and the entire Rainfall Irrigation team.
Hired the company to do irrigation repair and maintenance. They incorrectly communicated their ability to winterize outdoor water lines resulting in thousands of damage. No support to rectify it. I would not recommend this estabilishment,
Had a new sprinkler/dripline system installed, and am very happy with the final result. Matt and his crew were friendly and great to work with, ensuring that all of my expectations were met, and all my questions answered
The technician was on time, very respectful, asking me if I had any questions. I appreciate him asking if we wanted the company to get us going in the spring. Thank you.
We called on short notice and Rainfall Irrigation was very helpful . The technician who came out to blow out irrigation system was very helpful. We just moved to a condominium and did not realize we needed to close down irrigation system. I highly recommend.
