The first time you hear Pat Donovan speak, you will know that he’s “not from around these parts.” Pat moved to central Ohio 17 years ago from Long Island, New York. Having run his own lawn sprinkler company in New York for 13 years, he felt that it was time for a change. That change led him to Delaware County, Ohio, and a new incarnation of Donovan Lawn Sprinklers. But don’t let the new address fool you; Pat is still the same old-school, honest descendent of Irish immigrants. Just have a conversation with him and you’ll understand that.

Pat has a few rules for his business. While some called it old fashioned, Pat calls it common sense and good manners.

• Every inquiry, phone messsage, email and text receives a response. You’ll never be

Fun Fact About Pat...

“ghosted” by Donovan Lawn Sprinklers.

• Always take the time to explain to the customer the status of their repair or service. Don’t sugar coat things. An honest answer in the present can never be questioned at a later time. Pat has been in business a long time and does not plan on going anywhere, so today’s new customer is tomorrow’s return customer.

• Every job has his name on it and, as such, there are no shortcuts.

• Using the best quality materials now will lessen problems later.

• The right job for the right price. Pat will not be the lowest price in town or the highest. The cost of his work will be commensurate to the job.

Your home will probably be the biggest investment your ever make. The people you choose to help care for your home are important. The quality of work is equally as important as the quality of the people. Donovan Lawn Sprinklers allows you to have the best of both worlds.

Should you ever find yourself in need of a lawn sprinkler technician, just give Pat a call. After speaking with him just once, you’ll be happy you did.

In fall of 2021, Pat and his son Craig took a “bucket list” hiking trip to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park.
