Desert Valley Irrigation

I highly recommend Desert Valley Irrigation for all of your landscaping irrigation needs! This is a family owned, veteran friendly company and Nick and Tracy are excellent to work with - true professionals in every way.

We contracted with them to have our front and back yard irrigation changed over to PVC pipes after experiencing numerous leaks from the cheap plastic the builder uses.

Nick responded to my Yelp request right away and after measuring our yard and talking to us about options, he sent us a quote that evening. We were able to schedule the work within a couple weeks and after two days, my yard was totally converted to PVC to include a new irrigation controller. They cleaned up after themselves and the yard looked great once finished. My plants are happy too!

What really sold me on Desert Valley Irrigation was their warranty - two years AND they come out in the spring and fall each year to check the system and adjust for summer/winter watering.

I'm extremely pleased and very thankful that I decided to go with Desert Valley Irrigation.

Update: January 15th, 2023.

It's been over 40 days since the owner of Desert Valley Irrigation replied to my review informing they would reach out to find a solution. Unfortunately they NEVER reached out and we are very frustrated. Per my review, if they came to install the water fountain and finish the job we would gladly remove the bad review but instead they genuinely don't care. So we cannot recommend this business unless you want to have a headache. I included a picture of the pavers and water fountain left on my driveway.

I hired this company for a couple jobs  last year. Each job was over 1000 so not super small
Jobs. The first job was delayed multiple times, starting with weather then...just ongoing.  i had lines repaired in the backyard, new lines installed in the front yard and some  lighting installed in the front.  I hired them for a second job to fix a leak and they ran a new line. It was a creative solution to a problem and I was happy with it, however 2 days after installation a big new leak started where they were working. They said they would fix it. I went back and forth for 4 WEEKS  to get it fixed.  I believe the owner was very sick (during the pandemic) ok, stuff happens, but they told me they were coming every week for 4 weeks.  Eventually, I had to pay someone else so I could get my water back on.

On top of that, while this happened one of the new patio lights stopped working. They said the whole lights needed to be replaced. They took the light, and never came back, never replaced it. I texted and they stopped replying

We had Tracy come work on our side yard, placing an irrigation line to all our plants and trees and then putting rock into the side yard bed. We then had her return to do another zone because we were so happy about the work she did. We will continue to call her back to do three to four more zones. Tracy is hard-working, courteous, and professional, as well as good at communication. We will use this company for all our irrigation and landscaping needs. I highly recommend this company!

Very nice people but they fell under hard times which resulting in them not being able to do the job. They took and likely spent our deposit money ( thousands of dollars) and is non responsive to texts, emails or calls. They are stalling to respond because they dont have the money and its honestly heart breaking that I now have to seek legal action when all I wanted was to have my yard done so my daughter could celebrate her birthday outside. Shame on you for running off with our money!

I wanted to say thank you to Desert Valley Irrigation.  I own a rental property in Goodyear and had some sprinkler issues.

They were very responsive and easy to work with remotely. They came out coordinated with my tenants and did an excellent job on the repair.

Had an issue with my sprinklers, wiring had dry rotted. Had me up and running in no time. $100 in and out and plants are happy again. Will use again for sure.

This is truly a solid company thats ran by a team of husband and wife! They were super responsive when I had any sort of questions pre, during, and even post installation (you know how rare this is because certain places will not even bother answer any questions you might have after they take your money after the service). They did the work quickly, efficiently, and the entire thing was very affordable as well! My plants have doubled/tripled in size since the irrigation system is installed. Thanks guys!

I worked with Tracy for a leaky irrigation system. Scheduling with them was easy and they were able to come to my house fairly quickly for quote and work. She did guarantee their work (for two years I believe?) which was nice. Gave me a sense of security should anything arise. So far all has been well. Thank you Tracy!

Nick and Tracy to the rescue. I had been having intermittent problems with my irrigation for quite some time when finally one of my zones would not turn off. I opened the valve box to discover a shut off valve had broken. Realizing I was in over my head to repair it I went to Yelp to find a professional and get some quotes.

Desert Valley Irrigation was 1st to respond and I set an appointment for a couple hours later. Nick and Tracy had flawless communication and arrived on time. They diagnosed the repair and gave me a quote. I had received another quote online for the same repair and they were very close in price. I always support small businesses so this was an easy decision. I scheduled the repair for the next day. Again the next day they arrived on time, had great communication and got right to work. The repair was done and my irrigation is working perfectly now. They also set the timer and gave advice on some other plants we had concerns with.

Nick and Tracy both come from a family of landscapers and bring a wealth of knowledge. They do the job right with quality parts. There is a lot of competition in the landscaping industry here. If you are like me and prefer to support small family owned businesses, prefer quality work and know they will stand behind the job Desert Valley Irrigation is a great choice.

Thank you both and we will see you again when we are ready for our next project.

Nick and Tracy were very professional and guided us through their entire process. Prices were very reasonable, they were both responsive and willing to go the extra mile to ensure we were happy with the end result.  We hired them to completely replace our irrigation lines and renovate our back yard. We could not be any happier with how it turned out!

Nick and his team were great, they came out and got my new drip system installed and was completed early. Will definitely use them again when we replace our drips in the front yard.

Firstly, they responded very quickly to our initial request for a quote. We had submitted 10 requests for quotes, 3 contacted us back and only Desert Valley immediately scheduled a in person assessment of the irrigation.

Once here, they checked everything very throughly and walked me through the issues. Our water bill had quadrupled for previous month so something was wrong.

They provided the complete quote same day and scheduled us for service less than a week out. Once they completed all of the work, they once again walked us through everything they did and individually tested it so that we could see the programming.

Highly recommend!

Tracy has been a pleasure to work with from the very first contact. Gave me a quote in a very timely manner and explained everything with that quote. They got the work done as promised, and she is going to even help me with the new system for a while. She had very competitive pricing on her quote, and the work was five star. I highly recommend this company.

Nick, Tracy and Luis are an incredible team and can get the job done!  They are super knowledgeable about irrigation and how to best repair.  They use higher quality materials and seem to really care about the work they do.  They aren't about rushing through the job, they are a small team of three.  I appreciate their honesty and they do not push you for extras or try and upsell.  I plan on hiring them to completely lay new drip irrigation pipe and emitters and new sprinkler valves and heads. Give them a call, they are worth it!

I am irritated that Yelp would even refer this shop.  In all fairness, they did a decent job fixing a small leak in my drip line which most shops would charge $50 for the 5 minutes of work. These guys charge $100, but not a big deal and that is probably what they typically do.

Unfortunately, I hired these guys for a much larger project (digging out tree wells which is probably mostly un-necessary, moving some rock around and installing mesh over weep holes in cinder block) and found the quality of work to be mediocre at best and laughably bad at worst. The weep hole covers that they caulked to cinder block and took them a whole 2 minutes a weep hole to install are already falling off. Good grief!

Made 2 appts never showed up never called
Welcome to phx the land of the irresponsible

Reached out to Desert Valley Irrigation through Yelp and they answered back quickly. We set up an appointment for an estimate on our irrigation install and they were honest and transparent in what they were going to do and how/why they were going to do it. We had to reschedule a few times due to heavy overnight rainfall and they were great and very flexible in those rescheduling. Would highly recommend

Nick & Tracy are true all-stars. Husband and wife operation in business for 26 years.

I asked them to come and install new irrigation lines to feed some new ficus columns and bugambilia vines I am having installed in my back yard. They were on time, efficient, did great work and are super friendly to boot. They have a vested interest in water conservation being Phoenix natives and truly care about the quality of their work while managing the environmental impact. Super knowledgeable on all things landscaping too. Having them back in a week to de-thatch, aerate, and seed my dying front & back lawns.

Definitely recommend.

Nick was the first one to respond and was quick about everything. Very good communication when he was running behind. Came all the way to see us to look at our leak that the inspection report say we had and there was no leak. Very honest because he could have told us we had one even though we do not.

We needed our polyethylene tubing irrigation system (front/rear slow drip, rear sprinklers) replaced, as it was quite old and developing numerous leaks.  We sent Yelp messages to eight landscapers/irrigation contractors and Desert Valley was the first to respond and one of only three who saw the system and provided an estimate.  They also scheduled the work for later that same week at the lowest bid we received.  Tracy and Luis completed the system overhaul by replacing the tubing with Sch40 PVC with three new valves, timer, drip lines and rear yard sprinklers in about 1.5 days.  They also replaced two dead plants (we provided replacements) as a last minute request from us when we went to pay them for their excellent work.  I recommend Desert Valley highly!!

Nick and his Tracy were so amazing to work with. They came out and checked out our problem and found the solution right away. Came back a couple of days later and not only fixed our broken valve, but upgraded our other two valves so all three are now upgraded and on the same calendar for  replacement in the future. Highly recommend DVI.

Nick was amazingly fast in responding, came out several times to troubleshoot and provide us options on how to fix a terrible existing issue. Extremely thorough with his explanations and problem solving that easily saved us a couple grand in costs. Not only did they engineer a cost effective solution for us, the team did an extraordinary job leaving my entire drip system in a far better condition than inherited. Great respectful thing and I can't say enough positive things about the workmanship and professionalism exhibited. I hope to never have another brain scratcher of an problem to fix, but all business I come across in future will most certainly go to Desert Valley Irrigation, thanks guys!

In the year 2022, it is always challenging to know who to trust from a quality perspective.  Overall, the truth is happy people don't typically leave online reviews.  But, in this instance, I felt compelled to do so for this small business.  Nick and his team came to my property to install a new system in the front and replace valves/piping in the back.  They arrived, as scheduled, and completed the work in a timely fashion.  The next day one item needed adjustment, and Nick returned in 24-hours to correct the deficiency.  Overall, I am glad I selected this company, and look forward to hiring them again for future projects.  Nick and his team did a quality job and stand behind their service.

Absolutely 5 STARS! Their response time was so fast and both Nick and his wife were so helpful and professional. If you are looking for a team that knows what they are doing, look no further and book with Desert Valley Irrigation!

Nick and Tracy went above and beyond to give us the service we needed.  We are in Casa Grande (45 miles south of Phoenix).  They came from Goodyear (25 miles west of Phoenix).  The watering at our new build home was not working correctly.  (One tree and some other plants had died.)  They checked the timer box, the emitters, line placements, and all the valves.  When they were finished all the lines were running properly and giving water where it's needed.  The backyard was a bit of a blank canvas (in terms of landscaping).  We asked for ideas, suggestions.  They gave some great ideas, including pavers, curbing, low maintenance turf, tree placement, shrubs, and weed control.  We're going to have them back for more help.  Desert Valley Irrigation is more than just sprinklers and watering.  They are friendly and helpful for all landscaping needs.  They go above and beyond.

I had reached out to Nick to provide me with a free quote on a simple sprinkler job (fixing a few sprinkler heads and looking at my overall system). Nick and Tracy arrived at my home on Wednesday 10/13 and instead of quoting me how much the job would be, they got right to work switching out sprinkler heads and looking over everything. It didn't cross my mind to ask for the quote as we were talking as they were working. They ended up switching out 3 sprinkler heads and they also found that my valves were leaking so he quoted me $100 for each valve replacement (I have 5) and I also wanted them to put in a drip system which would cost $200. When they finished, I had to ask them how much I owed them. They then told me it would be $125 ($25 per sprinkler head and then $50 to come out). Before Nick had come out, I had asked him if he charged any additional fees and he stated that he only charged for the work her did. The $125 price tag for the work that was done caught me very off guard. Not only did I not get a quote before the service was done, but I also was charged $50 more dollars than I thought because I was told that they only charge fees for the work they do. I wasn't going to not pay them for their work so I sent the money via Venmo and I asked why they charge the $50 additional fee. They said it's a fee they charge the first time they come out normally. I felt frustrated that I was not told this information before they arrived but I didn't want to haggle with them and I had already paid them. They left and I was still feeling frustrated about the price I had paid for the simple service I was provided. I understand paying professionals for the work they do but I was not given a quote before they started working and I was also not told about the additional fee they charge even though I had asked Nick about those types of fees before he came out. I was still thinking I wanted them to do the valve replacements and drip line but I was feeling frustrated by lack of communication regarding pricing and not giving me a quote prior to starting the work so I called Nick to voice that I was disappointed no quote was provided to me and that I was not told about the $50 fee. When I spoke with Nick, he was immediately defensive. He seemed annoyed I didn't bring up my feelings at the time of the service but I was so caught off guard by the price that I didn't know what to say at the time. I told him he didn't provide me with a quote and he apologized and asked how he could make the situation right. I requested he give me the $50 back because I was not told about it nor was I provided a quote before they started working. He didn't want to do that but instead offered to take $50 off the valve replacement/drip line job. I thought that would be okay so I decided to try to end the call by making sure Nick knew why I had called him. He then proceeded to tell me he disagreed with how I handled the situation and that since he's a man (his exact words), he would've handled everything when we were face to face. He was saying that I handled the situation wrong and that I wasn't a man by the way I handled it. This really frustrated me because everyone handles things different ways and Nick decided to personally attack me. I then did not want him to do another job for me because he was very unprofessional so I asked him to send me the $50 back through Venmo. He agreed and then we ended the call. Today is Sunday 10/17 and Nick has still not sent me the $50 back.

I was hoping to not write a review and instead handle the situation with Nick. Instead, he made things personal and was defensive, unprofessional, and rude when I voiced my frustrations and disappointment. Nick and Tracy did a good job on the sprinklers but Nick did not give me correct information before arriving and he did not give me a quote before they started the job. If you have frustrations with the service you were provided, know Nick does not know how to separate his professional work and how he normally treats people.

Update: What Nick is saying below is not true. He never told me about the $50 fee and he never gave me a quote before the service. He is very unprofessional.

Very quick response, effective and quick repair. Exceeded my expectations and went above and beyond to be helpful. Easily 5 stars.

Great service, came within 2 hours and had all the parts to fix my irrigation problem within minutes.  Highly recommend!

Great service all around! They came to my place at the scheduled time, provided a reasonable quote before they began, and did an excellent job on the sprinkler system. Moss and roots were growing on our valves in the sprinkler system. You can tell the problem had been there for a while, before we had purchased the house. They came in and cut out all the roots and replaced the valves and since the sprinkler system has been working amazing. Thank you!

Contact was great and he showed up at the scheduled time and gave me a quote before starting.  All the sprinkler heads (25) were repaired and a new timer box was installed.  I no longer water the patio, desert landscaping, or the street.  Great job...thanks!

Came the day we called.  Fixed the problem on the spot.  We thought it would be a big expensive job but they were well prepared with all the equipment they needed and immediately saw the problem.  Really nice people too.  Will call them again if I have any landscaping or irrigation needs.
