Tom is a great guy! Scheduled an appointment in October with no problems! Anthony came out and blew out my sprinklers, walked me through every step of the way. Very professional business. I am definitely calling them back next year.

Tom and Anthony are quick to respond to calls for repairs and do them efficiently. They also put your yard or gardens back together after the work is complete. Thanks guys! So glad we found you!

I can’t say enough good things about Gator! My valve quit working and I wasn’t able to turn off the water in one of my zones. The problem was, I was leaving town for a month and had to shut down my irrigation system as a result of this problem. Tom understood the situation and was able to come rebuild my valve the next day even though he did not have availability. Rest assured I was able to go on my vacation with the peace of mind my irrigation system was functioning properly.

Tom and Anthony were great to work with. Tom initially came over to replace our ancient sprinkler box with a better, more intuitive one. He walked through all the steps of programming it and made sure I felt comfortable using it. While there, he noticed a crack in one of the pipes under ground. The next week he sent Anthony out to repair it and he did an excellent job. Polite, professional, and well-priced. Would definitely recommend them.

Tom was so helpful with repairing sprinklers at my rental property. He was responsive, communicated well, professional with my tenants, and his pricing is very reasonable and fair. Highly recommend!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Couldn’t be happier with Tom’s response time and performance. He was honest and quick. When other companies wouldn’t call me back or were out over 2 weeks. I will use Gator for all my future sprinkler needs and highly recommend.

Was referred to Tom. Called to schedule them to work at my house. 12 days later get a call and he didn’t really schedule me in just said might be there today or next Monday. Came by that Friday to look at job. All over with pricing and to be honest didn’t seem like he wanted to do the work. Asking why I didn’t call the company before and not wanting to dig. I dig up the line for him because I needed it fixed. So another whole week goes by and he comes out again to fix and is only there about an hour fixes one leak and says he has to come back he has a job to go to. So at this point I thinking am I not in your book? Am I a side job? So this would a on a Friday and said he will be back early next week. He didn’t call till the end of the week. By this tiime I just called someone else. Communication is poor and never spent more than an hr at my house each time. 3 separate times in three weeks. Second time out coworker left a gate open that they had no reason to open and my dog got out and picked up. Overall not organized… I hate leaving bad reviews but please do better. Customers make your business.

Tom did a great job with a last minute blowout for me. Took the time to educate me on the best way to manage it myself in the future. Went above and beyond when parts wouldn't cooperate and still got it done quickly. Learned more about my sprinkler system today than I have all year! Can hopefully do it myself next year but will definitely have them back to help with aeration!

I called Gator & 8 others looking for a quick repair on a broken sprinkler head. Tom was the first to return my call (most couldnt commit to less than 5-6 weeks) and was at my house the next day in the rain to fix it. Not only did he fix the broken sprinkler head, he walked through the rest of them with me fixing the ones that needed some tweaking. Highly recommend & will be using them for all sprinkler needs in the future.

I had the pleasure to work with Tom last month and I mean this in the best way, it was like having a neighbor who happens to know a lot about the problem youre having. He was completely understanding, and professional in every way that matters. From scheduling, to showing up even in off weather, and communicating with me in a fashion that wasnt a trumped up service call. He laid out the issues he saw before him, and laid out what was to be expected and how he felt best to tackle each issue that came up. Like I said earlier it didnt feel like I was just another Customer. It felt like working with a neighbor you know really well and they have a skill set you dont. A burst pipe was repaired, a flow back regulator rebuilt, and an in-ground line was mended in little over an hour.

I just had my lawn aerated for the Winter and I have to say, I am very pleased with Anthony s work. He is a very hard worker and it shows how much pride he has in doing the job at hand. He is way better than all the big companies that just throw plugs on the sidewalk to make it look good. Very well done Anthony!!

Tom and Anthony are simply the best. My boyfriend and I are new to Colorado, and failed to winterize our sprinkler system before it got cold over Thanksgiving, leading to a busted vacuum breaker and other cracked/leaking pipes. In a panic, I called a few companies and Tom was the only person that called me back, and quickly, too! He was so gracious with his time right from the beginning, and came to my house the very next day. Anthony and Tom worked on the repairs together, and I was very impressed with how knowledgeable they both were. I had a million questions, and they were both happy to explain what was going on, what had caused the issues, and what they were doing to fix it. They were upfront on pricing and never tried to hid the ball. Anthony even crawled underneath our house to turn off the water valve, which I didnt know was down there. All in all, they spent about three hours on the system and were very pleasant to be around. I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat, and will definitely have them back next year :) Thank you so much!

Tom fixed a couple of leaks in our irrigation system control box. We took a look after he was done, and everything seemed fine... then the next day after the first full sprinkler run, i found a leak in the drip line. I let Tom know, and he promptly came out to make it right. He stands by his work and makes sure it is done properly. I highly recommend him for maintenance on lawn irrigation.

★★★★★
January 24, 2023

Tom is the absolute best. He has done my aerating for many years and when my sprinkler system had issues this week, he came out right away...replaced the broken parts, adjusted all the other heads and thanked me for my business. Top notch service and professionalism at very reasonable prices.

Just an FYI - I called for a consult on my sprinkler system, free estimate (as he said it would be and it also says in his business card), he came out, looked at the system for 20 min then told me it was a tree root and not much I could do but wait for it to rupture. Then told me it would be 85$ for his service. Its apparently only free if he can do anything about it. Now you know.

Tom did a great job on my residential sprinkler blowout. Previous people that come by have done a poor job with a small compressor but he did a very thorough job, including showing me where my shutoff valve could have a drain installed to blow off down to inside the house. I ll get a new valve over the winter. Also made really sure my drip lines were fully cleared of water. Thanks!

I called during the busiest time of the year to get my sprinklers blown out. At first the women on the phone said it could possibly be up to two weeks but she was able to fit me in within the next 2 days! Extremely professional and fast service. The whole transaction took about 10 minutes. Quick and easy! Highly recommend gator!

Great service! Hi Id recently moved and was looking for first-time service. I tried several companies that were closer to my location and many said I was outside of their service area. I did a larger search and reached out to another group of companies. This company returned my call in the same day (side note not a single other company returned my call ever)! They also scheduled me in a very timely manner.... I had my appointment within less than a week. Tom and his team were fantastic! Tom was very thorough and walked me through my entire system. A very reasonable price for the aeration and blowout service! I am very happy that I found Gator and will be using them from now on!

Mr. Tom Pollock from Gator Aerating and Sprinkler did an outstanding job. They blew out the system three times and gave informative advice for maintaining the system over the winter. Not only were they very knowledgeable, they were also very efficient, affordable, and had excellent customer service skills. I would high recommend them to anyone.
