About Raffiani's Automatic Sprinkler Service

At Raffiani’s Automatic Sprinkler Service (John Raffiani Inc.), the ongoing mission is to deliver to our clients the very BEST LAWN SPRINKLER REPAIRS, YEARLY MAINTENANCE SERVICES and EFFICIENT LAWN SPRINKLER SYSTEMS that North Jersey has to offer.

John Raffiani, the owner and president, has been with the company since its beginning in 1966. Lawn sprinkler installation was a natural continuation of a family greenhouse and shrub farm operation started in Fair Lawn by John’s grandfather Joseph in 1933. John learned about piping, pumps, field irrigation, horticulture and soil texture from a very young age. When his grandfather began to sell parcels of his land in 1965 for housing developments, John ( along with other family members), started to install lawn sprinklers and landscaping utilizing the leftover piping, sprays heads and shrubs from his grandfather's business.

Five decades and 17,000+ installations later, the company is still going strong. Our projects have ranged from small residential systems up to 100 acre sites (in phases) - homes, shopping centers, corporate office parks, athletic fields and condominiums in New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Florida, Arizona and California.

In recent years, the company's focus has been on the local Bergen and Passaic county markets. Staying local has resulted in better customer satisfaction overall, reduced fuel consumption and less impact on the local environment due to improved scheduling of service routes.
