Carney Irrigation

I shopped around for an irrigation system for my large property, not necessarily looking for the cheapest price, but a company I could trust and felt comfortable with. (you typically get what you pay for)
Bob came out and spent considerable time with me answering my hundred questions as I had already interviewed several other companies and was somewhat educated on irrigation systems.
Bob had a unique solution to providing the most economical solution around the pool in the backyard.
The price I was quoted was within my budget whereas the other companies were way out of line, or I didn't feel comfortable with their approach or knowledge.
I slept on it and pulled the trigger the next day.
Extremely easy process.
Bob scheduled the job within the tight time constraints I had.
I couldn't have asked for more from the installation crew lead by Mogan.
No complaints whatsoever so far and the system works as designed.
A few days after the installation I had my lawn aerated and seeded an in the process a large rock crushed one of the newly installed lines. I called Bob to get information on repairing the pipe. Bob met me a few hours later and provided me with the fittings, pipe, and glue to make the simple repair. Bob even offered to come by on Saturday to do it for me.
I scheduled my winterization, and the office staff seems excellent.
If you are in the market for an irrigation system, I suggest you shop around but definitely call Rick Carney and ask for Bob to provide you an estimate.

Rick Carney Irrigation is amazing!! Great customer service when speaking to the office. Shannon, in the office, is amazing! Friendly, efficient and professional. Brandan, one of the techs, is amazing also. He was professional and very thorough!! I can't say enough about this amazing company! They are wonderful. You can't go wrong with this company!!!

I had a sprinkler system installed by Carney irrigation a couple of years ago.
The quality of parts and workmanship has turned out to be incredibly poor.
Major leaks 3 times, faulty solenoids, and each time we paid for repairs the service persons declared that whoever did the work before did a crappy job. Apparently a big turnover in labor with this company. This system was installed at my parents house, and during installation the service persons asked my father if they could borrow an extension cord to run some power tools . When they set up the electrical controller for the system, instead of setting up a safe, dedicated power source, they used the cheap extension cord that they had.borrowed from my elderly father.
This November, during a light rain, the connection at the extension cord caught fire, and had my father not seen it and put the fire out it could have been serious. As it was, $ 1000 worth of damage occurred to the electric system of the sprinkler system, along with a burned up tree
Carney has been completely unaccountable , refusing to replace the system without cost. Mr. Carney hasn't had time to talk to me about it. I seriously recommend to anyone considering using Carney to use ANYONE else.
Carney irrigation are terribly unprofessional, and just plain lousy in service. Don't use Carney.

I had Rick Carney Irrigation install my sprinklers this summer and it was a mistake. After the installation, my yard was flooding--like turning into a swamp flooding. After I asked them to come investigate, Rick Carney, I kid you not, blamed the clay in my soil because they couldn't find a leak. I insisted there was a problem and after a month of them digging up my yard, turning my sprinklers backwards and leaving them, and several other unprofessional occurrences, a crew discovered that they shredded not one but three drainage pipes when running the lines. According to their PM, this was my fault because the obvious pipes coming from my downspouts going into the ground were not marked. I finally stopped dealing with them after several bungled attempts to ""fix"" the issue they caused. I hired actual professionals and found out that Rick Carney's crews used duct tape to ""seal"" one drainage pipe and cut another one in half and reburied it which ended up flooding my yard... again. I highly recommend hiring anyone other than them to install your irrigation system.

Rick Carney installed out sprinkler system in 2001. We have been using them ever since each spring and fall to turn on the sprinkler / back flow testing and to winterize in the fall. Prior to this past year I probably would have rated them 3-4 stars. I have been satisfied with their service until the last couple of years. Last summer my husband noticed water pooling around one of the sprinkler heads. I asked them to take a look when winterizing but never got any feedback. This spring when they came to turn on the sprinkler I mentioned that we had an issue with one of the sprinkler heads and that I was not sure if they took care of the problem in the fall. They came back after doing the back flow testing and said everything looked fine and was working as it is supposed to. A day later my husband notice a swampy area around the problem sprinkler head. I called Rick Carney and they wanted to charge me $50 to come out and take a look. I argued that I mentioned it during both the fall and spring visits and they told me everything was fine. They agreed to come out for no charge and take a look. The gentleman who was here was young and said there were no problems. He said it was just because it was downhill that it was just draining from the pipe. I tried to tell the guy that it had never done this before last year but he kept insisting there was nothing wrong. Well I think we know what is normal and what isn't after owning the sprinkler for over 30 years. We will be looking for a new company to take care of our system.

If I could put zero stars I would. We had Rick Carney install our sprinkler system over 5 years ago. Last year when we had an appointment for opening and repairs, they sent one person out who showed up an hour late. He opened the system and only repaired one of the 5 items that were to be done. I spent an hour running back and forth to my basement for this guy turning the system on and off. Let me repeat ... I was the one running back and forth!!! He told me he had to leave and would probably charge a fee to come back out. I called the office and talked with the person answering explaining what happened. I never got a call back after reaching out several times. We had a new company come this year and found out they hadn't installed a back flow on the system and we were not within code. I absolutely would never recommend this company. The owner has always been rude and the past few years we had them the work was subpar. DO NOT use them.

Thanks for a job well done Rick Carney Irrigation. We had a leak near the manifold and with the expert care and advise of both Branden and Will we are now back in business!! Attention to detail and good customer service makes this a great company to work with

Emailed Carney twice and called once no returned call. Just call again and was cut short back the person who answer the phone. Used their service 15 years ago. Very disappointed

I called Rick Carney after another company made some mistakes on repairing our system. The tech came out the next day, made the repairs and winterized our system. He explained everything he was doing and helped me understand how to use my system properly. We will definitely be using Rick Carney from now on. Thank you.

The team at Rick Carney just installed a new sprinkler system for us. Overall we are pleased with the response of the estimator and the work of the installation crew. The yard was not greatly disturbed thanks to the care of the crew. The crew lead took time to explain the control panel. The layout of the sprinklers looks good and the off season rate is a great deal! We look forward to continued, responsive service as winterization is due soon.
