"Kevan & Drew at Drain Designs were fantastic! First let me say it was refreshing too actually, have someone respond and follow up to a call. I had called several companies/persons but none either responded back or showed up for their appointment. So, I was a pleasantly surprised when Kevan responded to my voicemail and showed up for the scheduled appointment. Water was leaking into my back room from underneath the deck and creating issues. Kevan came out and assessed the problem and devised a solution. Kevan & Drew showed up as assured. The process was explained every step of the way, so I had a very clear understanding of what was being done and why. Both Kevan & Drew were professional, and their work is quality work. I would definitely work with Drain Designs again and would have no issues recommending them to others. You won't be disappointed!"

"I had a clogged washer drainpipe. One company could not fix it. Another company wanted $3,100 to replace 3 feet of pipe and remove the clog. Cary Plumbing came out, cleared the clog, tested it twice and the price was very fair! He also noticed one of the hoses to my washer was leaking and he replace it. I trust them and highly recommend them!"

"I'll start by saying that Jofmar (Jose and team) delivered well beyond my expectations. I reached out to Jofmar with a few large hardscape projects after long effort to try and find someone that was professional, on time and and cared to do the work. Overall my experience was very pleasant. Victoria graciously helped me with estimates, explained the process well to understand what is involved for each project and then Jose and his team delivered on the product. The first of two projects just finished up -I had stacked stone garden walls built around all my mulched beds. The attention to detail was a delight to see and I can't wait to finally refresh my garden beds. I want to call out that Jose and team really love the work that they do and it shows. They work hard and are easy to talk to throughout projects. They are agile and will work with you if there is a change in scope. I still have a second project waiting on materials and can't wait to see how well they do there as well. I'll be using Jofmar for any work I need in the future and if I could put them on retainer, I would. Attached are some shots of the work they did for my garden walls."

"Our yard improvement was a total disappointment. The VP of the company came out to review the job in person. We were looking to add sprinklers to our backyard and aerate and seed our lawn. The review of the job was well presented with a good plan. The job was scheduled to be complete in 1 1/2 days. All seemed good. When the installation crew arrived, they had a completely different plan. They pretty much did whatever was easiest for them. In doing so, they damaged so many areas of the existing system that it was no longer operational. They damaged our septic system and tried to cover it up. The septic area was not marked but the original plan stayed away from that system. All work was done in sloppy manner. Clean up almost non-existent. The seeding was terrible. I have great big bare spots. When they completed the job 30 days later. I asked them to test the system and of course it didn’t even work. They had to rerun wire they had cut. This job was a disaster. Management didn’t care."

"We had used Panoramic Landscapes to do some major landscaping and they did a fantastic job. It was a no-brainer to contact Blake to have a stone wall built around a bed in front of my house. Blake's stone mason did a great job and the wall exceeds our expectations. The mason was very meticulous in his work and did a great job of cleaning up afterwards. If you need quality work done, call Blake. I would also like to mention that we just recently had Blake's crew re-mulch the landscaping they did a couple of years ago. While this might seem like a pretty straightforward job, they really did an excellent job and the whole bed looks brand new. I was very impressed and they did such a good cleanup job you couldn't even tell they had been there. Panoramic is my go-to landscaping company!"

"We hired this firm to install an extensive landscape plan for our home. The owner met with us, seemed very knowledgeable and highlighted her extensive professional credentials. Her pricing was high relative to others we considered but we liked what she described as her approach (no subcontracting, her extensive knowledge and relationship with nurseries, her knowledge of native NC plants, that she was on-site at all times, etc). She walked through details of our plan and provided a comprehensive proposal (>$50,000). We determined to hire this firm and take the project in phases. What the owner portrays she will do and what she actually does are quite different. After we committed and provided an initial deposit it was weeks longer than she indicated before her crew started work. We were over billed for labor and materials on each invoice received during the project. When we pointed these out to the owner she apologized for her error(s) ("I was exhausted and wasn't paying attention."). Despite her guarantees on her work, within weeks of the initial project being completed we pointed out a small number of plants that were not as healthy-looking as the dozens of others she installed and we were repeatedly assured over the next several months that they would be fine despite my providing pictures that showed they were getting progressively worse. She indicated in numerous email communications that the plants would be replaced if they did not "make it". This fall it was clear they had not survived and when pressed on replacement she declined. We will not be continuing with this firm for the additional phases of our project and we would not recommend this company to others."

"They did a good job, but it was much more expensive than I expected. We had leaves blocking a 25-foot downspout extension that was buried under the ground leading to a pop-up drain. I had asked in advance what it would cost for hydro-jetting, and wasn't given a price, but was just told that it would be $105 minimum if only a diagnostic visit was needed. The two guys who came did a good job, and cleared the line. They were here 35 minutes. When they finished, they told me it was $550 plus tax. They said it was the standard residential charge for hydro-jetting. I called the office and they agreed to lower it to $350 plus tax. I'm disappointed that there wasn't more up-front disclosure of the cost."

"I brought in several landscape companies to review my problem with irrigation and to make recommendations. Rob Grubb and his company provided the easiest and most straight forward solution. He was very responsive and his solution took care of the problem. He did not try to oversell me on anything I did not need. His team came out in one day and 90% finished the project. I trust his expertise and knowledge. I would definitely use Accent on Landscape again for another project."

FAQs for lawn and garden sprinkler system installation projects in Durham, NC

While drip irrigation systems have higher upfront costs, they can save you money in the long run. By delivering water directly into the soil with minimal evaporation and runoff, drip irrigation systems conserve water and improve efficiency. This means better performance and results for your landscaping, and cost savings over the system's lifespan.

Yes, irrigation systems can add value to your home, especially when installed with high-quality materials and a solid design. A well-irrigated landscape enhances curb appeal and can attract potential buyers. However, poor design or installation may reduce performance and even decrease your property's value. Hiring an expert for installation and performing regular maintenance is key to securing the long-term benefits.

A local irrigation professional can help you check your drip irrigation system to make sure it's in good shape. You'll want to make sure the water pressure is in a good range, repair any leaks as soon as possible, and cover the cost to winterize your sprinkler system as recommended by your irrigation contractor.

A drip irrigation system lasts between 10 and 15 years. This lifespan is determined by the quality of materials, the precision of installation, and regular professional maintenance. Unlike traditional sprinkler systems that can last up to 50 years, the thinner piping used in drip systems is more sensitive to UV exposure and environmental wear. Proper upkeep and timely repairs enhance durability and ensure consistent irrigation performance.

Drip irrigation is best suited for plant beds, containers, greenhouses, and row crops. It supplies water directly to individual plants, ensuring precise moisture control where it is needed most. For areas with simple layouts, above-ground systems work efficiently, while subsurface installations may be cost-prohibitive in spaces with extensive tree roots or irregular terrain. Proper planning maximizes the benefits of drip irrigation across a variety of applications.
