Free Irrigation Technician Service Agreement

One busted main line or a client who refuses to pay for 'unforeseen' trenching obstacles will bleed your profit margin bone-dry. If your agreement doesn't lock down the scope, you're just paying for the privilege of digging holes in someone else's yard.

Pro Contractor Tip

Include a 'Hidden Obstructions' clause to ensure you get paid extra the second your trencher hits an undocumented concrete slab or buried utility.

Why use a written agreement?

Handshake deals are risky. As a Irrigation Technician, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the client wants to add two more zones after I've already buried the main line?

You pull out the Change Order section of your contract and show them the price for 'Additional Work' before you touch a shovel; never do 'favors' that require extra parts and labor for free.

How do I stop clients from ghosting me on the final payment once the grass is wet?

Use a Progress Payment schedule in your agreement that requires 50% upfront for materials and 40% upon rough-in, leaving only a tiny 10% 'punch list' hook for the end.

Who is responsible if my trencher hits a private line the city didn't mark?

Your contract must state that the client is responsible for identifying all private utilities like pool lines or dog fences, or you'll be the one paying a plumber to fix their mistake.
