about us

What began as a side business in 1980 has morphed into a full-service underground irrigation service and landscape lighting provider servicing thousands of customers across Southeastern Michigan. In 1980, my dad, Tom Hughes, Sr. began Custom Sprinklers by Tom as a side business from his night job at a trucking company. By the end of 1990, Tom and his wife, Yvonne, had welcomed five kids to the family and Custom Sprinklers was ready for some much needed expansion.

Custom Sprinklers, Inc. moved to Northville in 1992 and have been the providing honest, reliable, and quality service to our hometown and surrounding areas ever since. As a testimony to our service and our customers, we still service our original customers from almost 40 years ago. 2020 and 2021 was a difficult year for all of us as we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. Spring of 2021 became even more difficult for my family and the business when my father died suddenly. Since his passing, we have committed to providing the same high-quality, honest and reliable service that has been synomous with Custom Sprinklers and Tom Hughes, Sr.

Our focus continues to be on providing high-quality, reliable and affordable service and maintenance to our customers. There is nothing worse than an unreliable contractor, or one who makes you wait around all day. We pride ourselves on providing prompt, reliable service each and every time. For those of you who have been customers for almost 40 years, we thank you. For those new to our business, we look forward to working with you for the next 40. Customer relationships are the single most important value that continues to drive our success. Please ask your friends and neightbors about their experience with us, as we are confident that they will tell you the same.

Thanks for your trust. We will do our best to continue earning it in years forward.

Respectfully,

Tom Hughes, Jr.
