A lot depends on how strong grass roots are, whether there are large tree roots, soil dampness, soil compaction, and soil type. When completed we take every necessary measure in cleaning your yard.
Most of our systems are installed to be blown out at the end of the season. We can install self draining systems however they require an additional investment and some yards are not perfect candidates for installing a self draining system.
KB Sprinklers will call SD One Call before we install you irrigation system. They will mark all major public utilities in your yard so we will not interfere with any underground utilities. PLEASE NOTE: Homeowner will need to mark any private underground lines prior to installation (e.g. gas, electric, landscape lighting, invisible fencing, or drain tiles).
We use a vibratory plow that pulls the pipe underground using an extremely sharp specially designed blade.
Our Customers Say
“Great service! Very easy to work with. They automatically send out a postcard every fall letting us know when they will be by to winterize our sprinkler system. Love the peace of mind. I don’t have to worry about forgetting to schedule an appointment before it freezes.”
“Used KB for both a sprinkler installation and sod placement. I’m extremely satisfied with the finished project, the attention to detail, and the customer service. Shane did a great job with the sprinkler system. Caleb and his crew were amazing to watch laying in the sod. Troy and his team were great to work with despite frustrating weather complications!”
“KB does a great job. Plus, they’re always on time and they utilize several ways to notify you so that an appointment isn’t missed. We love the fact that we don’t have to call them to blow out our system before the winter. We just get an email with a date and instructions. We’ve had too many experiences with other companies not answering the phone or not responding to emails/messages. KB provides a top notch service with great customer service!”
“I am so glad I went with KB Sprinklers to help me winterize our system. This was going to be our first winter with a sprinkler system, and they were extremely helpful and informative. Don’t hesitate to call them if you ever need anything; very professional and personable.”
