Somebody put your sprinklers in years ago and moved on. Somebody else did the kitchen and stopped answering the phone. Dave and John have had the same two numbers since 1999 — inside the house and out.
Twenty-six years on the outside of these houses turned into a fair amount of work on the inside of them. A kitchen gut and a dead sprinkler zone reach the same two phone numbers.
Install, repair, spring start-up, fall blow-out. We build mostly on Hunter and Rain Bird — not brand loyalty, just the parts we can still get hold of on a Saturday in August.
Fixtures placed where you actually walk, so the path is lit and your neighbours are not. Low voltage runs on about a third the electricity of the floodlights it replaces, and it does not leave a dark patch behind every shrub.
Kitchens, baths, basements and floors inside; decks, patios and fences outside. Demo to punch list, with the same crew on site the whole way through — not a different subcontractor every Tuesday.
Indoor is the rooms — kitchens, baths, basements, floors. Outdoor is everything from the back door out. Pick a side and the trades underneath it open up. Same crew either way; all that changes is which brother shows up first.
Send the job photos and the walkthrough clips. They get filed under the right room — kitchens with kitchens, baths with baths, video alongside the stills. Nothing else on the site moves.
A zone that runs too long is not generosity, it is a water bill. Each one gets its runtime from its own head type, soil and slope when we commission it — then we trim it every visit as the season turns.
Sample program. Runtimes are set from head type, soil and slope at commissioning — then trimmed at every seasonal visit.
Most of the failures we get called out for on a July afternoon were preventable in April. Here's the rhythm we keep our customers on — and where you are in it today.
Charge the mainline slowly, walk every zone, adjust arcs and nozzles, reprogram the controller for spring rainfall.
Pressure read at the furthest head, clogged nozzles cleared and runtimes bumped for the six weeks that actually burn a lawn out.
Catch clogged nozzles, sunken heads and dry corners while the lawn can still recover — and trim runtimes as days shorten.
Compressed-air blow-out of every zone before the first hard freeze. The single cheapest way to avoid a cracked mainline in February.

High-voltage floodlights leave dark shadows and unseen areas. Strategically placed low-voltage fixtures give even, low-level illumination — and cost a fraction to run.
Even illumination removes the deep shadows a floodlight creates — and the places a person can stand in them.
The right answer for walkways, steps and entrances, so residents and guests navigate the property without guessing.
Lighting the private side of a property means decks, seating and dining keep working long after the sun goes down.
Light accentuates shape and texture. A good designer paints with it — dramatic scenes rather than a lit parking lot.
About one third the electricity of a high-voltage system, and considerably less expensive to install in the first place.
Real availability from Dave's and John's routes. Estimates are free, and we'll confirm by phone within one business day.
Pick the area first, then the closest job. If none of them is quite it, pick the nearest and tell us in the notes.
Rough answers are fine — this only decides who we send and how long we block out.
Live crew availability for the next eight weeks.
So the crew arrives with the right parts on the truck.
What you type here goes to Dave and John so they can call you back, and to JBNX, who built and runs this page. We keep the booking and the page visit that led to it. Nothing is sold on. Ask us to delete it and we will.
A confirmation text goes out immediately; we call the day before with an arrival window.
Concept build: the booking above is recorded and passed to Dave and John — the confirmation text and the crew calendar are not wired up yet, so expect a phone call rather than an SMS.
Most of our work still comes from the last customer telling the next one — a finished basement the neighbour walks through, or a zone capped on a Saturday. Sample copy for the concept; real reviews drop straight in.
Serving the DC, Maryland and Virginia area since 1999. If you're inside the Beltway or an easy run outside it, we're already on your street most weeks.
A kitchen, a basement, a deck, or a zone that will not run. Pick a morning on the calendar, or call the number that rings Dave or John directly. The estimate is free, and we will tell you when you do not need the work.
The same truck that has been on these streets since 1999
