I highly recommend Watson for any sprinkler or irrigation work! He recently fixed several of my sprinkler heads, and I was extremely impressed with his professionalism, responsiveness, and quality of work.
Watson was quick to respond, showed up when he said he would, and did an excellent job getting everything working properly. What really stood out was the great value fair pricing without compromising on the quality of the work.
It’s not easy to find someone who is reliable, professional, responsive, and reasonably priced, but Watson checks all the boxes. I would definitely use his services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable sprinklerrepair!

I initially contacted JWatson Irrigation & Lighting for an irrigationsystemrepair. Joshua was thorough in his inspection and diagnosis of our very old irrigationsystem. He took time to identify the issue(s) and recommended replacing the aging system. He started the project quickly, planned for future planting projects, and was able to problem-solve several hiccups along the way. Though we had not originally planned to use him for grass seeding, we liked working with him, and he was very fair in pricing. He aerated and seeded the lawn and prepared it for germination, which included contacting the city of Durham regarding the drought restrictions. He made every effort to make the process as easy as possible. We will continue to use Joshua for the upcoming year to take care of our new grass because of his outstanding work ethic and professionalism.

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from JWatson Irrigation! They came out to replace all the valves in one of my irrigation boxes, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The pricing was very reasonable, especially considering the quality of work they provided. He was professional, efficient, and clearly knew what they he was doing. They completed the job thoroughly and left everything clean and in perfect working order. What really stood out was their excellent communication. They kept me informed throughout the process, explained what needed to be done, and answered all my questions. It’s refreshing to work with a company that values customer service as much as they do. I highly recommend JWatson Irrigation to anyone needing irrigation work. They’ve earned my trust and my business for any future needs!
