Go Here. Don't waste your time at other places.

I resisted going to the Urban Farmer for many weeks, maybe it was the location, as it is nestled in the Avenues. I first tried my favorite plumbing stores, whom all recommended Urban Farmer, and the big guys Home Depot and Lowe's. It was not until the sprinkler specialist at Orchard Supply Hardware said, "You have to go to Urban Farmer to find something like that, or maybe online" that I resolved to go.

The store is small but well organized and well stocked. They have everything that you may need for drip irrigation, landscape sprinklers, ponds and fountains. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful and best of all, without attitude. The place is run by kids, I expected to see some old guy in charge but really the younger ones, maybe twenty-somethings, were the most knowledgeable.

Most of their products are marked by some internal part number, but no prices. Contractors and homeowners get different pricing but a quick survey of common parts showed them to be cost-comparable to the big guys even though their stuff seems to be higher quality. Expect to pay a modest premium for the specialty items, but your only other option is online.
