I called James this morning to help out on an underground repair. Because it involved flexible PVC pipe instead of the tried-and-true rigid stuff, I determined it was beyond my rudimentary capabilities. James arrived this afternoon with his able assistant Hannah. In a few minutes they had the leak fixed and even happily took the time to address another, though slightly less critical, problem with our drip irrigation system. Same-day service. Two repairs in less than one hour. A couple invaluable tips for future DIY repairs from a friendly and helpful pro. And all at a very fair price. If you're looking for help with your irrigation system, my fellow San Martians, look no further. read more

I have used McCutcheon Irrigation several times over the last 9 years when it was run by James and they have always been great. That is no longer the case. I had them out to repair a sprinkler head mid-May. Hannah said that they now do landscaping, so I had her do a quote for landscaping. It took several weeks to get the quote. When they finally came out, the quote went up by $750. I said fine and paid it, but the work still wasn't completed. They said their "supplier" ran out of the materials. I later found out that the materials are stocked every day at any Lowe's. Texted several times to get the work completed, and the new quote has almost doubled. Still can't get them to come out and finish the job or even reply to texts. Sad that the company is being run this way after James' passing. He was a great dude and super reliable. Do not use this company now. They have no idea how to bid a job, run a business or deal with customers--totally unreliable, unprofessional, and unresponsive. read more

Incomplete job. Took the money and ran. Definitely not reliable. It is truly a shame that James has passed away and that his daughter, Hannah, is destroying the reputation of his business. He was a wonderful, honest man. read more

I have been waiting since April for the repair to be completed. They have shown up 3 times to diagnose and then requested to come back with more equipment, for the wiring issues. Now I cannot get a text message returned so that we can schedule the completion of the job. It has turned into a complete ghosting, which is disappointing because at the beginning the service was great. read more

I did something I never do. Based on the limited, but glowing, reviews for this hometown small business, I decided I wanted them to do my sprinkler repair. On Tuesday, I filled out the contact form on their website. On Wednesday, I called to follow up. I was encouraged that someone actually answered the phone and it didn't go to voicemail. The lady said they had worked late on Tuesday, but would check email that night and respond. It's close of business on Saturday now and I've heard nothing. Zip, zilch, nada. Very disappointed, but wiser. read more

Our house has 22 zones and James and Katy inspected all zones and made adjustments and replaced some of the heads in a very timely manner. Reasonable price and plan on using them for all future service! read more

James and Hannah are the absolute best! They are so quick to come out, competitively priced, and are genuinely kind people! We have had them out here several times to make adjustments, modify our sprinkler heads, and for busted lines from our own failed DIY efforts. I highly recommend McCutcheon Irrigation! read more

One of my control valves needed to be replaced so I removed the dirt from around it and in doing so broke my main irrigation line, I was removing the water from the hole when my lower back went out on me. I called McCutcheon and he came out and took care of the problems. Very nice man. read more

James is the best--we're so lucky to have him in San Marcos. When I put a pool in last year, the company absolutely ravaged my back yard and did major damage to the sprinkler system. James not only repaired all the damage, but he improved the range of coverage by adding more sprinkler heads in strategic spots. And all for a very reasonable price. But it's not just about the great work and price. James is one of the nicest guys you'll meet, and he seems to really enjoy his work. While he was working on my system, he noticed some wasps flying to a hidden spot around a shed. The next day he brought wasp spray and got rid of the nest for me! read more

After reading the positive reviews on Yelp I gave James a call about installing a irrigation system in my yard. Just like the reviews said , he and his daughter Hanna were a pleasure to work with. He showed up when he said he would, his work was excellent and his pricing was very reasonable. I would highly recommend his company. A man with integrity and does exactly what he said he would do. AAAAAA+++++ rating from me. read more

I went with James of Mccutcheon Irrigation based on the two great reviews he got and they were right on target! James was on time and did an excellent job and charged me such a reasonable amount I couldn't believe it. We had a pipe broken in our irrigation system and needed it fixed quickly. James was over within 24 hours of calling him and fixed it quickly. He also checked our sprinkler system. I would agree that James is the best in regards to irrigation and sprinkler repair. Don't bother wasting your time calling others-he is the man to call! read more

James is fast, reliable and reasonable. Plus he is very easy to work with in an everchanging project!

I called several irrigation companies regarding apparent leaks in an old system, and James was the only one who agreed to come out that day. He analyzed the problems, offered options, and explained exactly what he would do. He came back the next day and completed the job. Professional. courteous, informative, and inexpensive. If we ever need additional help with our system, we'll call McCutcheon. read more

James is the best in all regards when it comes to doing sprinkler repair, fountain repair and drip system repair. I have used him on a number of jobs as a Realtor and recommended him to my friends and associates. He never disappoints. James is prompt, honest, thorough and does a great job. I recommend him highly to anyone wanting a reliable, honest, thorough sprinkler repair person. read more

Family run service who were very personable and professional. I had to reschedule a couple of times but James was very accommodating and came on the scheduled day and time. They took care of the issue and went above and beyond to check the whole system. Definitely made the right choice and will use them again. read more
