Mother Nature took her good, sweet time this year, but warm weather ultimately - and repeatedly - returned to Maryland earlier this month.

Everything was pretty great from the time I called to ask about getting a quote for lots of things I chose not to do at this time. The response time for every question or idea I had was very timely. Even now that the work has been completed I am still in communication with them, because they want to make sure I am satisfied. The pricing was pretty close to others that I asked for a quote at the same time.
They didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need or try to convince me with a big idea that they had for my yard. I am totally satisfied with the work and the service that comes with it.

I called in to make an appointment as a new customer for a spring adjustment and inspection, and I am interested in a lighting system. Person I spoke with was very rude. Admittedly I had many questions, This is my first year using my irrigation system, it came with a home I recently purchased. I felt very rushed and this lady was huffing and puffing in my ear with each question I had, then she HUNG UP ON ME!
I called back after I was hung up on, not sure why but when this same woman did the same thing again, I asked to speak to the Operations manager or someone else who could help me. I was told I was speaking with the Office Manager, and that no one else could take my call, that the owner was out of the office and that the GM does not ever call people back.
I was flabbergasted that as a potential NEW customer I would be treated this way. I do not complain online or write nasty reviews. As a small business owner myself of an online specialty boutique I know how harmful they can be to businesses, and that is not my intent here. I read a few great reviews of this company and only wanted to schedule someone to come look at my system.
When I called back and politely said I got disconnected and was still treated the same, like I was a huge bother and inconvenience, and not able to talk to anyone else who could help me, I said actually I will pass and thank you, then hung up. I would NEVER have an employee as rude as this woman was. Customer service is your first line for someone like me shopping around for a new company. I dont know if you only give good customer service to your existing employees, but I will not be calling back again to find out.

Chesapeake Irrigation and Lighting satisfactorily addressed my exterior landscape lighting needs. After researching several companies, I chose Chesapeake because of their pricing, ideas for lighting placement, and quality of lighting products. Todd was excellent. He was professional, knowledgeable and courteous. The installers were equally professional and courteous.
Most importantly, they were timely and diligent. Their workmanship was outstanding and the cleanup following installation was thorough. Icing on the cake was that Todd and the installers followed COVID safety protocols ensuring everyone's safety. I highly recommend Chesapeake and won't hesitate to call on them again for any future lighting needs.

5 stars for LV lighting. Great professional team. My sales man was Todd. He came out a day or 2 after my initial call, he was extremely knowledgeable and helped me pick-out lighting for my dock and back yard. Once we agreed upon a price, Todd and crew arrived exactly when they said they would and did a great job on the lighting. All of there crew were friendly and very respectful.
The dock lighting was particularly intricate with hiding the wires, they were on it. Cant see or more importantly hit any wires. They were very focused on the little details, which made the final product really stand out. Cant say enough about this company, highly recommended!

Todd and the Chesapeake Irrigation team designed and installed a beautiful outdoor lighting system for our home. It truly transformed the property and our neighbors have commented on how great it looks. Todd was prompt and helpful and the entire project was completed ahead of time, on budget and with an excellent result.

I cannot say enough "great words" to describe my experience with Chesapeake Irrigation & Lighting! Dave Underwood and his crew installed a irrigation system on my deck and around the back of my home. They were professional and the quality of the materials are top notch! I wasn't home at the time of the installation so Dave came back to give me a tutorial of how to work the system.
There is even an app that I can use world wide to water my plants. Dave patiently helped me set the app up to sync with my Wi-Fi. Dave responded to my emails quickly and was so informative! I highly recommend this company to anybody looking to install an irrigation system!
