Wow, Darwin and his team were absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, professional, and truly above my expectations. He arrived on time for the estimate, communicated clearly, and his crew showed up early and ready to work on the scheduled day. He even improved the irrigation layout to make future maintenance a breeze, which was a huge bonus. The paver patio turned out beautiful. Darwin followed my design perfectly and recommended the ideal stone to ensure it stays solid and stunning for years to come. The craftsmanship really shows. When the job was done, his team cleaned up my yard so well you'd never know major work had been done, except for the amazing new patio of course! Anytime I had questions, Darwin took the time to explain everything thoroughly and made sure we were completely aligned. It's rare to find someone who cares this much about quality and customer experience. I will absolutely hire Darwin again for future projects and highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, skilled, and genuinely awesome service. You'll be glad you chose him! read more

Scammer. If you hired this man go ahead and re-dig the whole thing. The box he put in was not even a whole box for the irrigation. Sent a txt threat for more money. Nope, fired. We have a new crew working on your botched job, have to spend more time and money with this project. We told him not to cover the WEEP HOLES and he told us "is okay for me" like are you serious? He told my fiancé he will not be covering those, he did not even tell us he did. We had to find out for ourselves. The pipes were all crooked and not buried below the foundation. Just a complete liar. read more

Martinez Irrigation And Drainages - "The front section is perforated" - Irrigation Near Me - Houston, Texas

Darwin has been the scammiest, most amateur and most dishonest contractor we have ever worked with in Harris County, and that is saying something. Beware. We had Darwin give an estimate for some drainage pipes. We said we needed drainage baisins below the foundation along one side of the house to keep water from leaking into the house, and a drainage pipe snaking along another side of the house to remove water from our back patio. We showed Darwin the concrete that needed to be cut up, and the foundation that we needed drainage basins below. Darwin said he could do the job for $5000. After a day or two of work, our lawn was all dug up and the concrete was cur up, pipes were laid down, and Darwin said he needed more money. We went to inspect the work. The drainage basins were above the foundation and therefore not working to keep water out of the wall. Darwin said for him, it would be better to fill the weepholes in the brick wall with concrete. We told him not to do that because it will cause the wall to retain water. We wanted the drainage basins below the foundation like we had discussed. We came back a couple hours later and Darwin had filled our weepholes with concrete. We inspected more of the work. The pipes were not consistently sloped in the direction of the drainage. They just plopped in the pipes and didn't bother to level or slope them at all. There is standing water at the various low points of the "drainage" pipe which does not drain. Darwin said this is fine and kept asking for more money. We paid him $2500 because we felt bad for his guys, but we were clear we needed the job done correctly, the way we had originally discussed. Properly sloped drainage and basins below the foundation. We even said we would be willing to go over budget if Darwin would promise to do the work properly as originally discussed. Darwin refused to commit to doing the work properly so we fired him. We found another drainage specialist who confirmed that Darwin's work was shoddy and actually so bad that it makes our drainage worse everywhere he worked. I would have been happy to never hear from Darwin again and not post this review, but Darwin is now harassing and threatening my fiance trying to get $6500 out of us for this unfinished, worse-than-nothing job. "Pipe slope down" is literally the first thing to know about drainage, and Darwin doesn't know it. read more

Rating: 5/5 Stars ​I cannot recommend Martinez Irrigation and Drainages enough! Darwin did a phenomenal job transforming my front yard. Before he started, my yard had almost no grass and was mostly just dirt and seeds, but now it looks absolutely beautiful and lush. ​The entire process was incredibly rapid, and the transformation is night and day. On top of the high-quality work, the cost was very reasonable. If you are looking for someone to turn your yard around quickly and affordably, definitely give Darwin a call! read more

I needed grass removed, and landscape gravel laid down for a small project. The quote was fair, and the turn around time exceeded my expectations. Darwin and his team arrived on time, were professional, and nice to work with. If I have more projects in the future, I would call Darwin and his team. read more

Darwin was very nice and the repair was very quick. Services were fairly priced. Will use him again!

Darwin Martinez (owner) responded quickly to first call for an inspection of work to be done. He made several suggestions for overall improvement of current drainage system in backyard. A date and time were scheduled for one week later, and he arrived on-time and he and his assistant immediately began to work and worked diligently until work was completed. I found some issues with sprinkler system that I added to his work project and he took on the tasks with no complaints and quickly solved the issues. It was a very hot and humid day but they worked thru it, only taking a 45-minute lunch break. Cleaned up all and was reasonably priced for the work completed. I would recommend using Darwin Martinez for your sprinkler repairs or irrigation project. read more

Fast, Professional, and Top-Notch Work! I can't say enough good things about Derwin! I reached out needing help and he showed up the same day--which is almost unheard of these days. He was punctual, professional, and came fully prepared to get the job done. Not only did Derwin do excellent work, but he also took the time to explain what he was doing and made sure everything was done right the first time. You can tell he takes pride in his craft and really cares about customer satisfaction. If you're looking for someone reliable, skilled, and efficient, look no further than Derwin. I'll definitely be calling him again for any future sprinkler system work. Highly recommended! read more

I was under the impression that it was a free estimate. When I explained that I wanted to get an additional quote, he insisted on charging me $80 for the estimate. I told him I would send it to him and end the call. I was not home and he ended up speaking with my elderly mother, and she authorized for him to start. He finished and reported to her that the job was completed. And charged $500. When I inspected the sprinkler system the same day it did not work. When I asked him to come back to repair he no showed. After communicating through the yelp app again, he did return to repair it however he wanted to charge an additional 400 claiming that the part cost that much. Upon research that part only cost $100 and would not leave until it was paid. I paid him 300 more dollars and he left. In total, I spent $800 to get my sprinkler system repaired when I thought I was requesting a free estimate. read more

Yes. Use him. He may be late but stays until he gets the job done. Used for back flow and sprinkler head repair.

Contacted Mr Martinez to help check my sprinklers and winterize. They responded quickly, came on time and provided a free estimate for the work. I was happy with the value for money and quality of his work. Would use again for irrigation projects. read more
