If its low voltage wiring, I wouldn't address it; I have low voltage excluded in my agreement.

That is pretty typical of low voltage wiring for the irrigation system, I would note that the valves and wiring would benefit from some protection from the weather and mechanical damage, but that's about the extent of it.
