About Us

Building Trust Through Honest Work Since 1979

The best service companies aren't built overnight. They're built through decades of showing up when promised, doing the work right, and standing behind what they do. That foundation of trust comes from treating every homeowner's property with the same care you'd give your own, and understanding that your reputation is only as good as your last completed project.

A1 Sprinklers has been serving Salt Lake Valley homeowners since 1979. Under Wayne Wardle's leadership, we've grown from a small operation into a trusted name in irrigation, waterline services, landscaping, and backflow solutions. Our longevity comes from a simple philosophy: do quality work, communicate honestly, and take care of the people who trust us with their properties.

How We Got Here

Starting a business in 1979 meant learning the irrigation industry from the ground up, literally. The early years were about mastering technical skills, such as understanding how water moves through different soil types, how pressure affects system performance, and which installation methods actually hold up under Utah's harsh climate cycles. Every project taught us something, and we built our knowledge base one property at a time.

As we grew, the industry changed around us. Mechanical timers gave way to digital controllers and, eventually, to smart automation systems that respond to weather data. Basic sprinkler heads evolved into high-efficiency nozzles designed to minimize waste. Water line materials improved dramatically, offering better durability and easier installation. We've adapted to these changes while maintaining our focus on what matters most: reliable systems that serve homeowners well for years.

What hasn't changed is our commitment to quality workmanship. We still approach every installation, repair, or service call with the same attention to detail that has defined our work since the beginning. We still show up when we say we will, explain what needs to happen before we start, and make sure everything works properly before we leave. After all, those fundamentals never go out of style.

  • Can I set a Time?
    Yes, the first appointments of the day can be set. We can set an arrival time of 9:30 A.M. We can also arrange to call 30 minutes before we send our repairman to your location. We do respect your time and do everything in our power to get there at a workable time to you. Our office staff works hard to accommodate your schedule.
  • How long does it take to get a repairman to me?
    In most cases, we can have someone there the same day or the next. Depending on business volumes and the time of year it may be longer.
  • Can you help me over the phone?
    Often, if you can give us enough information. We know sprinkler systems very well but sometimes the picture you paint over the phone may not be the same as the picture we get. Your answer may also be found in our training videos.
  • Do you give free estimates?
    Yes, for new installs. We do not give free estimates on repairs. It is easy to give a price on a complete install because most things are known. On repairs, it is sometimes impossible to know what is wrong until you have dug up or completely repaired what is wrong.
  • How do you charge for your services?

    We charge for repairs by the hour plus parts. Our first hour starts when we get to your door. No travel time is charged, $130.00 for the first half hour (Min.) and $130.00 per hour after that. Example: If we are at your home for one hour, you would be billed for the first half hour at $130.00 and then $65.00 the next half hour for a total of $195.00 plus any parts we use.

    For the Main Valve replacement, it is a flat $1,695.00 up to 4 feet deep unless quoted differently by our staff. We give a 3-year warranty on stop and waste valve replacements.

  • Can I winterize the system myself?

    In many cases, homeowners can turn off and drain their sprinkler systems on their own. However, it's important to understand how your specific system works before attempting it.

    • If you have an A1 Sprinklers system, winterization is simple. We’ll show you exactly how to take care of it, even if you prefer not to do it yourself.

    • If your system was installed by others, we can inspect it and teach you the proper steps to winterize it. Visit our How to Winterize page for general instructions.

    • If your system requires a blowout, it's usually more efficient and cost-effective to hire us. Our team ensures a complete and professional winterization to prevent costly damage. Not sure what your system needs? Contact us today, and we’ll be happy to help!

Why Salt Lake County Matters to Us

We've built our business in the communities we serve. South Salt Lake isn't just where our headquarters happens to be; it's where we've worked for over four decades, where we know the neighborhoods, and where we've earned the trust of homeowners. That local connection shapes how we operate and what we prioritize.

Being based in the valley means we understand the specific challenges posed by Utah's climate and geography. We know how secondary water systems affect irrigation components. We recognize the soil conditions that make certain areas more prone to pipe failures. We're familiar with the municipal requirements that vary from one city to another across Salt Lake County. This knowledge comes from years of working in these communities, not from reading about them.

Our commitment shows in our response times and our availability. When an irrigation emergency happens in the middle of summer or a water line fails and threatens your property, you need help fast. Being local and established means we can respond quickly, often scheduling service within a day. It means our technicians know the area well enough to find your property without difficulty and arrive prepared for the work.

We take pride in the relationships we've built over the years. Many of our clients have been with us for decades, calling us for annual maintenance, upgrades, and new projects as their properties evolve. That loyalty comes from consistent, honest service. It comes from treating people fairly, pricing transparently, and standing behind our work when issues arise. 

We've never chased growth for its own sake; we've grown by earning trust one homeowner at a time.
