Lane Irrigation

I am so sorry it took me almost 40 years to discover Lane Irrigation in my backyard. For years, I had relied on OSH, Home Depot, or Lowe's to fix of modify my sprinkler systems. These stores might or might not have the parts required, but for sure they lacked the technical expertise I just experienced at Lane Irrigation. These folks are the real deal. They know their stuff and have the goods to help you be successful with your project. They almost convinced me to do this current irrigation system myself after spending a good deal of time diagramming and showing me the various components. After that time spent with me, I asked if they had the names of contractors who might do this kind of work. I was given a list of such individuals or companies and three were checked marked as being good options. I contacted all 3 and eventually settled on Primescape. What a wonderful choice. Mike Primeaux, the owner, is an extremely likable young man who is punctual to a fault and this past week installed my system. I could not have asked for a better install as this competent young man modified and improved on the original plan I might have tackled. It pays to get a professional to do some jobs. Mike is a professional and willing to work on a multitude of outdoor projects. So between Lane Irrigation and Mike Primeaux, if you need any irrigation or lighting work done, they are the A team.

I stopped by here to pick up a coupler to fix my broken irrigation pipe.
Local big box hardware stores didn't have the coupler I was looking for to fix my broken irrigation pipe.

As it turned out it was not a common size but Lane Irrigation was helpful enough to spend time in finding the right solution for me and helping me in fixing the issue.

I went back to get some sprinkler heads and another great experience.

This place is wholesale kind a place but is also very friendly and accessible to DIY and homeowners.

This is my go to place as the beautification chair at the local school. So I have bought all kinds of sprinkler stuff here, they give great advice, they go out if their way to help, and Home Depot beware the quality of there parts and options are much better. And did I tell you they have commercial replacement sprinklers? Come in district office you have 10 schools all using 25 year old sprinklers. The new ones spray long and up close. I would love to replace the 20 commercial sprinklers cause in the summer there is a dry patch around the sprinkler, coverage sucks, and they use 30 percent more water. Should be a no brained to replace them.

Decided to redo myself all the irrigation for our yard, 8 zones including lawn and drip. Had done this before, mostly relying on Home Depot.

These guys saved me time, money and frustration and made this experience interesting and fun.

They looked at my plans and offered advice after advice saving scores of mistakes I would have done. They reviewed calculations and diagrams and build a complete shopping list. I got 95%+ of what I needed in one trip - this is very significant to anyone who tried this as a homeowner.

Some of great advice I got included: Call your water company to get the water pressure at the meter. Use a flexible funny pipe for each head so you can move the sprinkler around easily. Help to determine if a 1in valve would service the 12 sprinklers I had in mind. And significant help to not forget to buy a few pieces that you only discover when you are on the job ...

On top of that prices were lower that HD (!) sometimes by 30% (e.g. for valves). Actually I do not believe that anything was more expensive than HD...

They made this work fun fast and interesting for me !!
