Testimonials

“Around The Yard installed our sprinkler system in the summer of 2021. They installed the front system into existing lawn and after 2 weeks there was no visible disruption to the turf. The heads work great and the design was well thought out. The backyard was an ongoing project throughout the summer and fall waiting for contractors and the weather to cooperate. Rick went out of his way to work around our schedule and completed the job just before the turf went down. I have no problem recommending Around the Yard Sprinklers to anyone. He came when he said he would and did what he said he would do at an affordable and competitive price.” -507 Cabrera Way, Warman.

“Rick and his team did an excellent job installing underground sprinklers in both our front and back yards in June, 2021. Our lot size is very unique and was built on extremely hard ground; they were able to get the job done over the course of the weekend and there were no issues with starting up.  I would highly recommend using their services going forward as Rick was responsive/ available on short-notice and he did a high quality job.” -332 Friesen Cove, Martensville.

“We hired Around the Yard to install sprinklers in our backyard in 2021 and they did a fantastic job. Rick explained all work that would be done prior to the job being started. He was always on time, budget and adhered to the timelines he had committed to. After the work was complete, Rick followed up with us to ensure the sprinklers installed were working to our expectations. We would not hesitate to recommend Around the Yard and will hire him again for any future work.” -3001 Eastview, Saskatoon.

“Around the Yard installed our sprinkler system in the spring of 2019. I was put in efficiently and with very little lawn disruption! The sprinkler heads are completely different from what we have ever seen. Great coverage and they work well in the wind. We highly recommend Rick and Around the Yard. They did an excellent job on our yard and we are extremely pleased!” – 58 Murphy Cres.

“In the summer of 2019, we contacted Around the Yard to complete our entire front and back yard irrigation system. They provided high quality materials and completed the install of our sprinkler system in an efficient and timely manner. The lines were trenched quickly before our sod was completed and Rick provided several recommendations – we are very pleased with the 6 zone wifi timer! We couldn’t be happier with the quality of the work and the helpful service following our installation. Around the Yard exemplified professionalism and the willingness to listen to our needs. We would not hesitate to recommend their services to family and friends!” – 739 Hastings Cove

“Rick (and his team) are the best in the business. We built a new home a few years back and hired Around The Yard to plan and install an automated irrigation system. They walked us through each and every step in a thoughtful and cost-conscious manner. Their work is excellent and they deliver as promised, and on time. Most importantly, they offer ongoing support and have been there in a flash for any questions or concerns; over and above service like no other.” – 167 Roy Cres.

“I do not remember how we found Rick’s business but we are happy we did. Our project was completed in several steps and Rick and his son accommodated us throughout the process as we revamped our entire yard. These guys do great work and they are hard working and honest. We have no hesitation recommending them to others.” – 154 Skeena Cres.

“We had done landscaping to our yard and were in need of someone to reinstall our existing system. Around the Yard was quick to respond and provide a reasonable quote. Service was prompt, professional and thorough. Rick was able to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our existing system and provide great advice about usage. Our yard and grass has never looked better. I would highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.” – 2671 Alexandra Ave.

“We engaged Around the Yard on the recommendation of a friend and were not disappointed. Our underground sprinkler system was installed after our lawn was well-established, which meant that the lines had to be trenched through the grass.  Rick and his crew arrived on time, with the right tools for the job and completed the installation on time and with minimum fuss or damage to our lawn. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of the work and the helpful after-service. A year after installation Rick came by to ensure the sprinklers were operating and providing the coverage required.  Thanks Rick!” – 230 Roy Terrace

“We moved to the city and were in need of a sprinkler system for our lawn.  We were in the process of installing a sidewalk and patio as well.  By chance we happened to find Around the Yard’s website and found the testimonials to be helpful in our decision to contact Around the Yard for an estimate on the job.  In July 2015, Rick, the owner, did the estimate soon after being contacted. He was able to work around other the other contractors and within our timelines. The system was installed with minimal to no disturbance to the existing lawn. Rick also provided after installation training and maintenance of our system.  Our needs for the system will possibly change in the near future with the addition of a garden. Rick has assured us that he can help and has planned for that addition ahead of time.  I highly recommend Around the Yard for any sprinkler installation and maintenance you may require.” – 326 Pichler Cres.

“We moved into our new house in the winter of 2015. The house was done, but the yard was just rough grade. After drawing up a landscaping plan, we set out to get quotes for bobcatting, sod and automatic underground sprinklers. We got various quotes for each. Around the Yard was prompt at coming over to quote us. Rick listened to what we wanted for our yard and gave us some new technology suggestions for the automated sprinklers. Rick coordinated the installation of the sprinklers with the bobcat and sod installation. We would highly recommend Rick and Around the Yard for your sprinkler needs.” – 158 Sinclair Cres.

“Rick from Around the Yard has been doing sprinkler repairs and fall line blowouts in our yard for the past 8 years. We decided an upgrade of sprinklers for the entire yard (4500 ft2) of grass was needed. In the estimate given, Rick was extremely thorough in explaining the sprinkler plans, and how he would completely redo the system and yard so as to be more watering efficient. Rick and his employees were very professional and efficient in all aspects of installation. We were amazed at the minimal amount of damage that the installation caused and in a couple of weeks our grass was looking better than ever. He completely guarantees his work and if any adjustments are needed he is there! We would highly recommend Rick’s company-Around the Yard for any sprinkler needs and installations! A 5 STAR Company!” – 9 John Hair Cres.

“I had Around the Yard install my sprinklers in the fall of 2015. I was very impressed by the professionalism and efficiency of Rick and his staff. In the pre-installation meeting, Rick gave me some good ideas about the landscaping. The work was done quickly. One of the employees came back two weeks later to move a sprinkler because I decided to plant a tree – and there was no additional charge. I was very impressed and I highly recommend Around the Yard.” – 622 Pringle Bend

“I just want to say a few things about Around the Yard underground sprinkler installations. After receiving three quotes to have underground sprinklers installed in our yard, we went with Around the Yard sprinklers because of the way the measuring and quote were handled. Rick Garman was the only one who took the time to measure out the yard and submit a plan and diagram with his estimate. The installation was done on time and with efficiency-all in all a very positive experience from start to finish. So positive that when we had a new home built, we hired the same company again without obtaining competing estimates. I would highly recommend this home based business to anyone who wants a trouble free sprinkler system.” -1123 Korol Green

“After becoming disabled and needing sprinklers put in fast, Rick was there. I got 4 estimates and Rick’s was the best. He uses quality materials and when he was done there was no mess. There was little to no damage done to my lawn. I got a high quality installation at a great price and I am a very happy customer.” -37 Mackie Cres.

“Thanks to Around the Yard, our yard is one step closer to being complete! Rick and his team did a fantastic job installing sprinklers in our front and back yard and we were thrilled with the work done. The project was completed in a timely and professional manner and we cannot speak highly enough about the company. We will certainly be recommending Around the Yard to our friends and family.” -838 Rempel Cres.

“Rick and his crew provided excellent, professional service in the installation of our irrigation systems. We’d have no hesitation in recommending their work to others.” – Facility Manager, Cathedral of the Holy Family, 123 Nelson Road

We contacted Around the Yard last year (2012) to put underground sprinklers in our yard. We had a couple of estimates, and they were by far the lowest. Rick and his team communicated the process to us step-by-step, and were very knowledgeable and informative. They even took care of things we hadn’t thought of – who knew a remote for the sprinklers could be so handy! We live on an acreage, so it was a big job, but the job was completed quickly, efficiently, and effectively. We love our sprinklers and have seen a huge difference in our yard since they were installed. I often felt that Rick put the time and effort into my yard that he would put into his. Pride of ownership was evident in every step of the process. -Acreage southeast of Saskatoon
