Important Questions to Ask Before You Choose Your Irrigation Company.
How much irrigation experience do you have?
Morin's Landscaping has been designing, installing, and servicing irrigation systems for over
20 years. Top-quality irrigation systems are a natural extension of our commitment to excellence
in our landscaping business. We believe that our irrigation systems are one of the most valuable investments that you can make to ensure the long-term health and beauty of your landscape.
How long have you been in business?
Morin's Landscaping, Inc. was established in 1978. Unlike many seasonal "Here Today...
Gone Tomorrow" companies, we are a recognized regional leader in the landscape industry and continue to grow our business through long-term relationships with satisfied clients.
What makes Morin's the best choice?
Expert system design and quality installation set Morin's Landscaping apart from the competition. As landscape professionals, we add value not typically available from other irrigation installation companies. We apply our horticultural knowledge of soil types, drainage requirements, and the water demands of individual plants to design the optimum watering system for your unique site requirements.
Do you warranty your work?
From date of installation, Morin's Landscaping provides a written warranty that covers all irrigation products and workmanship for two years, including 100% of all materials and labor.
Do your irrigation systems meet compliance and safety standards?
Every Morin's irrigation system is properly designed and safely constructed in accordance with all current construction codes and safety standards. However, it is the extra precautions we take during installation that sets Morin's apart from our competitors.
-
All plumbing is backflow-prevented and installed by a licensed plumber to ensure compliance with local building codes.
-
Our systems use centralized, neatly constructed valve manifolds that are easy to access and service.
-
Although we use "direct-burial" electrical cable, ALL below-ground and above-ground wiring is placed inside conduit for extra protection during and after installation.
Can you provide references?
We can provide commercial and residential references that will allow you visit installation sites where you can see firsthand the expert system design and quality workmanship that distinguish a Morin's irrigation system.
Are your installers experienced professionals?
Our irrigation specialists are full-time, licensed professionals who are continually trained on the latest design practices and irrigation technologies. They are not seasonal staff.
Do you carry liability and Workers Compensation Insurance?
Morin's Landscaping, Inc. has been fully insured since our business began. We will be happy to provide a certificate of insurance upon request.
Will my property be damaged during installation?
To minimize disturbance to existing lawns and planting beds, we use a "trenchless" pipe puller to install our irrigation systems. After a few weeks and 3 or 4 mowings, it will be difficult to tell that an irrigation system was recently installed.
Will I need to be home during installation?
You will not need to be home at any time during installation. However, at the appropriate time in the installation process, we will need access to the water system controls in your basement for a period of 3-4 hours. Shortly after your installation is completed, we ask that you be present so that we can provide instruction on the proper operation of your new system.
Which brand-name products will you be using?
We use only the highest quality products from the best manufacturers. In our opinion, no single manufacturer excels in all areas. By carefully selecting the best individual system components from the appropriate source rather than relying on a single brand name product, we believe that we can build the best, most efficient irrigation system for your site requirements.
How many heads will be included in my irrigation system?
The right number of irrigation heads and proper head placement are critical considerations in any irrigation system. Inexperienced contractors may install too few heads, while others may reduce the number of irrigation heads to lower your up-front cost. Dry spots from inadequate water coverage will result from too few and/or improperly spaced heads.
At Morin's, we don't cut corners. We precisely place the correct number of irrigation heads to ensure uniform, total area coverage. To avoid dry sections closest to sprinkler heads, watering patterns are set up to provide critical overlapping head-to-head coverage. We know that proper system design and uniform water coverage will make the difference between healthy lawns and gardens throughout the growing season and especially during extended periods of hot weather.
Carefully examine the sprinkler head placement and watering patterns of any recommended system before making your decision. Most often, the lowest cost system is NOT your best value.
After your Morin's Irrigation System is installed, your only question will be... Why didn't I do this sooner?
