Jalou Irrigation
is hereby recognized as a
TOP GUN Professional Business!
John Hansford, you are considered a champion business owner for building and managing Jalou Irrigation, a lawn sprinkler system contractor company in Rockdale County.
Small businesses are the backbone of an economy.
The owners of these small businesses are entrepreneurs who often take significant financial and business risks, provide employment opportunities, and add their creativity and ingenuity to the overall commerce of a local community, town, city, and county. Many business owners work long hours, endure challenging times, and make personal sacrifices.
Our research team at Expansion Support Services, owners of the County Advisory Board, identified Jalou Irrigation as a business that is appreciated by its customers and provides valuable services.
The company’s continued success speaks to the dedication and ability of John Hansford to overcome the many business obstacles and barriers that are part and parcel of business ownership.
A Foundation Built on Doing Things the Right Way
John’s start in the irrigation industry came while working alongside his uncle, who was a firefighter by trade and also owned his own landscaping and irrigation company. His uncle took John under his wing and taught him the ins and outs of the industry, including both the dos and the don’ts that come with performing quality irrigation work.
More importantly, John learned the value of taking pride in every job, doing things by the book, and never cutting corners. Those early lessons created a foundation that has stayed with John throughout his career and continues to influence the way he operates Jalou Irrigation today.
For John, completing a job properly is about more than simply getting a sprinkler system working. It is about providing a solution that is professionally designed, properly installed, dependable, and built with long-term performance in mind.
Premium Workmanship at an Affordable Price
One of the qualities that sets John Hansford and Jalou Irrigation apart is the ability to pair affordability with premium workmanship. John believes customers should not have to choose between getting quality irrigation work and receiving a fair value.
As a true people person, John also believes in educating his customers rather than simply completing a job and leaving. He takes the time to help clients better understand their sprinkler and irrigation systems and teaches them how to easily diagnose basic equipment issues themselves. This customer-first approach can give homeowners greater confidence in understanding and maintaining their systems while knowing they have an experienced professional to turn to when they need help.
John’s knowledge and creativity are also reflected in his ability to design complex, eco-friendly irrigation networks. His approach combines practical irrigation expertise with thoughtful system design to help customers receive effective solutions tailored to their properties.
Giving Back to the Community
John’s commitment to helping people extends far beyond his work with Jalou Irrigation.
Every weekend, John personally dedicates his time to feeding and supporting homeless individuals throughout the local Georgia community. His willingness to consistently give his personal time and effort to those in need reflects the same care for people that he brings to his customers and his business.
Life Beyond Jalou Irrigation
Outside of business and his community involvement, John enjoys reading, writing books, traveling, meditating, and cooking. He is also passionate about music—not only listening to it, but creating it himself. John makes music and plays both the piano and guitar.
Even outside of work, his creative side often connects back to his profession, as he enjoys designing complex, eco-friendly irrigation networks and exploring ways irrigation systems can be both effective and environmentally responsible.
