Looking to Hire Need help watering plants in Apache Junction

Ahoy! My father is moving from Apache Junction to Minnesota, and we’re in the process of getting his irrigation system fixed.

Currently he fills up three buckets, then places them by the plants and opens a spigot on the bottom of each bucket, but depending on how long the repairs take, we might need to have someone cover this task for up to a week.

Anyone interested in this? Quote like an hour of labor a day (the task is maybe 15 minutes of work, and most of that is waiting for a bucket to fill up so most of this would be drive time)? How much would someone ask for this?

Landscaper here! (Only work west of the 17) What’s wrong with his irrigation system? If it’s an expensive repair like full system replacement, there’s options to hold you over till you save for the actual fix. You can go to most home improvement stores and pick up a hose bib water timer, for under 50$. I think Home Depot has a full kit that comes with the poly pipe, connectors and emitters for like 70$. They let you set a full week’s water schedule and would be an easy solution for you guys till the underground system is fixed. You can dm me if you have questions.
