Water has been a problem in and around our home from the time construction started until the present. In the eleven years we have lived here, we have talked to the professionals in Ford¹s Colony, James City County, and anyone they recommended. While several ideas were suggested, none were acceptable for various reasons. We called Knight-Scapes to handle our backflow inspection and the water turn off and on. Jason Frank came out and while he was here for those other reasons we mentioned our ongoing water problem. After some discussion he said they’d be in touch and arrange to come out and see what solution they had. They came back with their proposal which involved adding drain pipes as well as moving and cleaning others. It sounded like a solution so we accepted.

The team of four, Doug Knight, Reuben Williams, Olmen, and Arlington were here for two days. They were efficient, professional, worked well together and were pleasant to have around.

After they were finished we waited for our first serious rain to see what happened. The rain came and we went out to see what was happening at each spot and we were very happy to see everything working just as they said it would.

Thanks, Sam & Judy R. -- Ford’s Colony

Dear Knight-Scapes, I am most pleased to recommend your company to any of my friends, acquaintances or clients. In the redesign and upgrade of my existing irrigation system, you showed the highest degree of professionalism, care, courtesy and patience. You should be proud of your organization and I will be using you exclusively in the future.

Thank you for your great service! Susan S. -- Queens Lake & Liz Moore and Associates

Dear Jeff, Doug, Bill and Crew Members: Thank you so much for your excellent Maintenance of our Lighting and irrigation systems over the past years. We truly appreciate the advice and service you have provided us. We realize that our lake pump has presented its challenges but you persevered and, for the first time in fifteen years and several irrigation companies, we have confidence that we have the right people helping us.

We never recommend anyone whom we do not have complete confidence but we were happy to recommend you. Thanks again, for great service and being such pleasant people with whom to work and communicate.

Sincerely, Pat & Sandy C. -- The Vineyards

Bill, Jeff and Jason,

As you know, a Rain-Bird ESP-SMT Irrigation Controller was installed at our residence on 28 June 2010. I have been observing its operation over the past ten days, and wanted to let you know how pleased I am with its performance. Having read the User Manual, I was somewhat familiar with how the unit is programmed and operates, but seeing it in action makes it even more impressive.

On the day of installation I watched Jeff program our zip code, which provides the basic weather data input to the system. The allowable watering days were also entered so the system only functions on authorized days. Then each individual zone was programmed to indicate turf/beds; sun exposure; slope; desired hours of operation on authorized days and other vital parameters to customize the system. With the built-in rain gauge, it will avoid the use of water when normal rainfall has provided what is needed. It also calculates the evaporation/transpiration rate of the type of grass, based upon the recent weather conditions.

As a result, it will save water and money, by not having the sprinklers run when not necessary. However during these very dry hot days, the system re-cycles through the zones, actually providing more water than my previous controller was allowing, unless I went out manually to override the settings. So our lawn is now receiving enough water to avoid over-stressing the grass. And the new system allows me to manually increase the programmed amount of water in incremental percentages, if I think that is necessary. The system is really automatic, and I am assured that enough water is being provided, but not too much.

In summary, I am VERY pleased with the Rain-Bird ESP-SMT Irrigation Controller, and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Thanks, Jim D. -- Ford’s Colony
