Many lawn
companies go out of business within 5 years or less. We recommend

financial stability to back up all guarantees and warranties. A reputable
contractor like Maddox Irrigation Inc. will be around for years and
years to come to serve all customers and honor all commitments.
Although competitors are offering
the same visible products 70% of your irrigation system components
are not visible because they are buried underground. A professional
installation by Maddox Irrigation Inc. will provide years off efficient,
trouble free operation.

| DESIGN: Systems
installed by Maddox Irrigation Inc. are designed to have head
to head
coverage, all heads spray
away
from house & patio, separate zones for shaded areas & sunny
areas, and separate rotor zones from mist head zones. All
of these things insure that your lawn will not be too wet
or to
dry. Your
lawn will be watered evenly. Systems
installed by the competition may be designed as water
to water coverage or
shaded and sunny areas on the same zone
which will result in over or under watering of areas.
Heads spraying
towards the house may cause water build up leaking at the
basement wall.
|
| PROFESSIONALISM: Maddox irrigation
Inc. makes sure that after every job we install you are 100%
satisfied
with the
appear of the job. We sweep all sidewalks, patio, & driveways
of any dirt or debris. We clean and haul away any unused
material. Every head is double-checked to be sure that it
is straight
and adjusted properly. We also leave all flags next to the
newly installed
heads so your sod company can take note of where each and
every head is placed. Other companies leave the
dirt and debris scattered across your properly. The heads
are left crooked and may not be adjusted at all. Installation
Equipment
may not be properly taken care of and leak oil over you driveway or street.
A system like this will result in a very unprofessional and
unsatisfying experience.
|
| INSURANCE: Maddox Irrigation Inc is fully insured
with $1,000,000.00 in coverage and has complete comprehensive
and liability coverage for all employees.
Some other companies may not
have adequate insurance coverage or no coverage at all.
This runs
the risk of law suits and property damage.
By having a competitor
install less than the best it will result in years of
frustration, inconvenience, and costly
repairs & service
to your system.
