Lucas Irrigation installed my system in April 2026. Overall, I had a good experience. They showed up on time in the morning, completed the entire installation in one day, and their estimated work time of about 8 hours was accurate. They were friendly, professional, and clearly proficient at the work. It is also nice working with a family business.
The system itself was installed quickly, and when I noticed that some sprinkler heads were not pointed in the intended direction, Lucas Irrigation came back and corrected the direction of those heads.
That said, there were several finish-detail and communication issues that kept this from being a 5-star experience. I ended up fixing a few things myself, including the timer in the garage not being installed level, mulch that was blown under the weed barriers in my garden beds, and sod near the front garden bed that was not put back neatly. There are also some remaining concerns I asked them to address, but did not hear back about, including bumpy areas in the lawn from their trencher, the vacuum breaker not being installed level, and some valve boxes in my lawn not being installed level or square.
Scheduling the system startup also took weeks, and there were some communication issues around the initial installation schedule and zone count. I was originally quoted for 8 zones, but the final system ended up being 10 zones. I agreed to that on the day of installation, but I felt the quote could have been more accurate given that there was time to review the property beforehand and they had installed systems in the neighborhood before. My installation date was also moved up on short notice, and although I agreed to it, the way the request was worded made it feel like the originally agreed-upon date might not be guaranteed.
Overall, Lucas Irrigation did a solid job, worked efficiently, and was pleasant to deal with. The system works, and they did return to fix some sprinkler-direction issues. I would recommend them, but I would also suggest paying close attention to the finish details after installation and making sure expectations around scheduling, zone count, and cleanup are clearly confirmed in advance.
