Building a House and........

Need recommendations for sprinkler system and whole house surround sound installation companies in the Jackson area. What say The Pack?

Had a friend use Iconic Video for the surround sound/TV in his new home a while back. Seemed to have worked out well for him. Not sure how competitive they were on their prices though, I only see the finished product.

This is what you come back for?

Yeah, OK. Fair enough.

Wilson and Wilson for irrigation. I used Love but he's in prison now for hiring illegals. Wilson and Wilson has done good maintenance work since.

Audio Central in Flowood for surround sound. They did an excellent job on my system.

I just re-did my condo and used Sonos its wireless, check it out before you invest in something that will be outdated in a year.

Hopefully, you are getting Ikon Homes to build your house...

Wilson&wilson do a good job. If you want a competitive price try Rawls irrigation.
I've used Bill for 10+ years (I'm in the green industry).

Do it yourself with Sonos.

If you have time, DIY on irrigation too. It's easy. Ewing Irrigation off 220 kinda behind Kentwood sells everything you need plus all the advice you want. I did it on a softball field, including installing a pump to pull the water out of a pond. Hardest thing was digging the trenches.

Just pay close attention to where things are buried on your lot.

I used Southern Audio to do my surround sound and whole house audio. I also had them the lighting control system for my house. They did a very good job and were reasonably priced.

If you are a do it yourselfer, ask that the irrigation company run speaker wire with the PVC, so it will be easy to find with a metal detector if a problem ever arises.

If it's a simple installation, you would likely do a better, more careful installation than the companies do. By that I mean you would measure where they just estimate distances, you'd make sure you put the lines in at the proper depth (around here it's 18 inches I think), etc. But if you have hills, lots of rocks and/or lots of roots, like I do, it might be best left to the pros. Otherwise, rent a Ditch Witch, buy the parts, and go to it. You could save quite a bit of money.
