    Install sprinkler system: Spring Start Up; Underground
    I recently had the pleasure of working with Gary at Benchmark Irrigation and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of service and professionalism he provided. Everything was handled with care, efficiency, and attention to detail. Gary was knowledgeable, punctual, and took the time to explain the entire process. I learned a lot of new things about my system that I didn't know before. Gary was very thorough and went above and beyond to make sure everything was working perfectly before wrapping up. If you’re looking for a reliable, honest, and highly skilled irrigation company, I would highly recommend Benchmark Irrigation. It’s clear Gary takes pride in his work and it really shows. Thanks so much Gary!

    Lawn Sprinkler system

    I live in Innisfil and Benchmark installed my system in 2023 economically, and on budget. The best part is my system is that it's automatic and SAVES me money over the watering season. It follows actual climate conditions and the soil conditions of my lawn. It never over waters. It is frugal. Sometimes, during spells of rain, it doesn't come on for weeks. Great system. I have the best lawn on the block, it costs me little, and I don't have to lift a finger.

    Irrigation & Lighting

    We got a few quotes for Irrigation, Benchmark was by far the best price. Gary actually took the time to walk me through the whole quote and what we actually needed rather then just leave a price and leave. He stayed true to his word regardless of what the quote was if there were more sprinkler heads needed they would be added at no extra cost. He also installed an irrigation system at my parents and they were very pleased with the service and price. We also used Gary for landscape lighting. He was honest with his prices and even recommended us getting lights somewhere cheaper and he would install them. The finished product looks great and we would definitely recommend them.

    Thank you again. Glad to read that you are pleased with the system. Always there when needed for your sprinkler needs. Thank you !!

    Irrigation project

    Gary and his crew are very professional and did a great job. Other irrigation companies I quoted just left me the quote in my mailbox or explained quickly (I spoke to quite a few). Gary, on the other hand, checked my plumbing and water pressure (and in this way was able to save me money by installing less valves since I had very strong pressure), gave me a very thorough explanation of the system and how it works and answered all my questions. His work is clean, neat and he takes his time to finish with quality, never in a rush. Highly recommended! My lawn is now completely green and even some dead patches of sod that hadn't caught on are now back to life. Thanks!

    Irrigation system repair

    I called Gary when I was very frustrated by previous irrigation contractors and he was promptly on the scene making me feel better and giving me excellent advice. He was very professional when pointing out the problems that were created by the incompetence of the other two companies. He is thorough and was also able to fix our problem for much less than I expected. He could have charged me much more, but instead found a solution that was creative and very inexpensive. Just call Gary--he will be there when he says he will and he will do a good job.

    I am very pleased to read your reply. Always there for your sprinkler needs. Happy to know your system is tip top now. Thank you!

    Wonderful irrigation system!!

    Gary is really awesome. He came in to do the irrigation system and install the sprinklers for our front and back lawn and also for all my garden beds. He is very knowledgeable and skilled. His price was also very competitive. I love the sprinklers as we don't really have time to water the grass. My lawn and garden looks great thanks to him!! I would highly recommend Gary for anyone looking to setup a sprinkler system for their home!!!

    Sprinkler Repair/Install

    This is the best experience I have ever had with a professional contractor, bar none. Gary was friendly and flexible, letting me do the part of the job I felt I could do. (I didn't have a clue but he was pretty gracious and didn't mock my incompetence...thanks, Gary!). He showed up when he said he would, did what he promised, and communicated clearly. Gary is the guy you think doesn't exist any more...knowledgeable, professional, friendly...and with integrity. I introduced him to my neighbor and he gave them practical advice in their best interest despite being less rewarding for him. In the end, I paid him more than he charged and was happy to do it. If you're lucky enough to get him, do it.

    Answer from pro:

    The pleasure was all mine. I hope to have surpassed expectations. As always if you need anything im a phone call away. Thanks again and all the best to you and your family.

    Sprinkler System

    Gary has been doing the "open" and "close" of our sprinkler system for the last few years and has been excellent. Is always available when called and comes promptly when there are issues. This latest season, we attempted the "open" on our own and had several issues. Gary came by the next day and spent hours uncovering the numerous issues with our (now) 10-year old system. He is thorough and also creative in fixing problems to save the customer money. I was/am impressed with his work.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you for those kind words and the opportunity to work on your system. Glad the system now is in tip top shape. If you need anything, Im a phone call away. Thank you and all the best to you and your family.

    Lawn sprinkler system

    I found Benchmark Irrigation to be professional, efficient and the price was competitive. They started the install within 2 days and the system was up and running 3 days after. They used top of the line parts and even gave me the choice of brands. This is the second summer and the system has had no problems at all. I enjoy strong healthy green grass all season long and all I had to do was set a program on the timer and let it water. Having the rain sensor ensures that it doesn't water when it is raining out. Best upgrade I've done to the house thus far. VERY SATISFIED!!

    Answer from pro:

    Another property I was glad to be chosen to partake. Your lawn now can be spotted by a helicopter in your area. Thank you for the kind words and Im glad I met your expectations and hope I surpassed them. Always a pleasure. If you need something as always Im a phone call away. Best wishes to you and your family.
