Last Job before Winter??

I received a call from a customer, two weeks ago to move some sprinkler heads I had put in his backyard. When I got there the whole yard was a mess! He had extended his deck and wanted to move heads and get rid of drip line I had put in. So, seeing the lawn go from a beautiful green, to a red clay was aweful. Well I had told him that I can bring in 9 yards of top soil to fill in his yard and sod it. It took two days to put down 9 yards of top soil, 6 yards of compost and 205 yards of tall fescue! The pictures are of the work I did.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Winter?!

Well it has been 7 months since I have last updated. In the last 7 months I have been busy installing irrigation systems, of course. Now I am busy winterizing the irrigation systems; which is good. I am also trying to inform our customers about the new ET controller (no it does not phone home!), and yes it saves a ton of water and money! I have installed one already and hope to do even more in the spring. With all of the regulations here, I have been certified as an irrigation contractor and getting CEU'S, to maintain my license. Nathan has been a big help this year. He has helped with covering the trenches and putting seed down. A few more weeks of work and we'll close shop for the winter.

Has Spring Really Sprung???

At McClard & Son Irrigation we (I) have been enjoying the nice weather we have had lately. I have installed 3 systems from Feb.12-March 9.
I am now in the midst of Spring Start-ups for existing customers. Then I have a few add-ons to do. Since I was doing a job close to the house, I decided to extend the irrigation to the back of the garden, so it can be thoroughly watered for all the seeds to come up. I decided to recruit the help of my favorite helper as shown below.

Have a great spring!!
