Earlier this year in March we experienced drainage issues in our backyard for our Hawaii Kai…read moretownhome which caused flooding in our yard due to heavy rains around that time. We knew something serious had to happen to prevent this type of event from occurring in our yard again so it doesn't create water damage in our home. The previous owner of our home had landscaping work done which completely covered up the drain in our yard so Victor and his team with Oceanic was able to get the drainway uncovered with a system set up that diverts all water from the gutters directly into the drain for the yard. They completed all work in half the amount of time estimated and the cost was very affordable compared to other landscaping contractors in East Oahu. I would recommend them anytime!

I've yet to use their services but we have been in communication with the owner, Victor. IHe seems…read morelike a professional that knows his stuff.

It is very unfortunate to have experienced such unfounded, unprofessional, and aggressive behavior…read morefrom Oahu Irrigation & Design, LLC (Kullee Long). I recently communicated with Kullee Long to obtain a bid to get my 92-year-old client's irrigation system up and running, per my client's request. According to my client, Bob N., Kullee met with him at his beautiful home on the ridge, quoted $6,400 cash, and stated he would return in 2 days to collect half as a deposit. My client said he asked for his business card, and Kullee said it was in his car and wrote his name and number on a piece of paper. My client called me the next day, concerned because he had nothing in writing and Kullee planned to collect a cash deposit without providing a written scope of work in advance. Since my client does not have an email, he asked me to call Kullee for the estimate on his behalf and I would print it and gladly drive it to my client for Kullee. My client also expressed discomfort, noting he "had an attitude" and no clarity for the $6,400 cost and it was a rush to get a half down. I contacted Kullee and requested if he can please send a written quote, explaining that my client asked for this before he gives Kullee a cash deposit without documentation and approval. During our conversation, Kullee stated he could do the work for $6,400 cash or $1,500 more if it was "on the books if that's what you guys want!" I calmly asked for clarification on the $1,500 difference, he struggled to explain then said "credit card fees and materials etc...", and then became very angry talking tough. My client already told him he was paying cash and that he doesn't like to use his credit card. I reiterated to please send the written quote so my client can review it. Kullee responded rudely and upset, stating he was busy and needed an immediate decision to "keep his workers busy and get paid". At that point, I shared the same concern my client had expressed. Kullee told me "thanks for wasting my time" and stated he had other clients waiting. I told him that we understood and of course, please go ahead and help your other clients. His tone then became increasingly aggressive and rude. While trying to protect my client's best interest, I ended the conversation, thanked him, and informed him that I did not feel he was a good fit. Kullee then kept sending me repeated, aggressive, and rude text messages, which I didn't answer. I texted to inform him that I needed to block his number, and I did. A few minutes later, Kullee went on my business google page, Susan Borochov - Realtor Hawaii, and made an inaccurate aggressive, and unwarranted review. He has since then continuously revised his review on me. Which is why I decided to share the chain if events. Kullee, upset that he didn't get the job and easy money, reacted vindictively as the only way knew. Every potential customer has the right to receive written bids and make informed decisions. This situation appeared to prioritize money over professionalism, ethics and proper business conduct, particularly concerning a 92-year-old potential customer. I have been in real estate for over 25 years, and I take great pride in caring for each of my clients, as reflected in my reviews. An inaccurate, vindictive review from Kullee will not change the level of service I provide to my clients or my business ethic. This experience reflects my commitment to going the extra mile for my clients by helping them. Thank goodness that my longtime trustworthy landscaper, who I learned also specializes in irrigation, made time to meet with my client. He clearly identified the issues and provided a written estimate of $1,800 and his business card to my client, and the job was immediately booked today as well as additional landscape work. He treat his clients with respect and honesty. I'm sharing this to urge others to do their research and insist on proper documentation before proceeding with any contractor they are comfortable with and trust. I hope Kullee reflects on this experience and chooses to conduct business with fairness, professionalism, calmness, honesty and respect whether you get a job or not. Repeated harassment is not acceptable business practice and reflects an unhealthy attitude. I wish you the best Kullee. Please be peaceful. Thank you, Susan Borochov - Realtor

I requested a quote for sprinkler repair or installation on Yelp! Projects. The owner called and…read morereally wanted to give me a quote after I told him I was having a competitor coming to give me a quote sooner. He insisted on coming before. He comes over gives me a quote and I told him if it's easier to start from scratch and he build a system that he recommended to quote me that. He also quoted me regular yard service that I agreed to I thought it was a good value and fair. He tells me that he can start on Monday and I was agreeable to that. Monday comes and he doesn't show up. He says he was busy so he would come on Saturday to work on the sprinkler system. He shows up on Saturday and walks to the back of the yard. I go about my work in the house. I later check my phone and see a message from him. He was not going to work on my system. He just left. No let's talk and requote, I made a mistake no nothing. Just a text message quitting. Luckily I didn't cancel my existing service and get stuck. I don't know how this business can continue to operate like this.

If your like me and not quite a gardening type but enjoy the looks of a nice grass yard or lawn,…read moreSynthetic grass/turf is the way to go. Before contacting Total Landscape, I had the unfortunate experience of dealing with NyLawn (another company specializing in turf installation). From first impressions to constant waiting for a response etc, it was a really unprofessional and frustrating experience. I was ready to give up until I came across Total Landscape instead. I gave them a call and left a message, then in a matter of minutes I received a call back from the owner Travis. I accomplished more in a phone call than I did in taking the time to drive to Nylawn's show room and the constant calls to set up an estimate appointment. Which by the way was never returned until a not so stellar email and Yelp review I left them which was pretty sad. In less than a week Travis set me up with an appointment with Gina his estimator. In that time, if I had any questions or concerns, the communication was swift and very open. The estimate appointment went smooth as Gina was very professional, approachable and knowledgable of the material. Instead of doing a deposit I decided to pay for this project up front and Travis made it very easy to pay via email. Such a major benefit vs making a trip to an office. Invoice, receipts and service contracts were all sent through email immediately! The installation went smooth, there were a few snags along the way with the ground itself yet they managed and would strive for nothing less than a perfect project. Project took 2 days from beginning to end along with an extra day to make sure everything is set which showed their attention to detail and passion for perfection. The lawn itself is amazing, they only carry the best top quality material. My friends and family loved the backyard and were impressed with real look and feel of the lawn. They admitted to having their doubts but were quick to say they were now believers. I would recommend Travis and his team any day over any other company out there. There is no fair competition because no one can match their professionalism, seamless communication and the attention to detail in their work. Customer for life.

I hired Toby to perform maintenance and upgrade my backyard irrigation system with new spiral…read moresprinkler heads. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend his services based on the quality of the work and the subsequent troubleshooting advice provided. If you are considering hiring him, here are the factual issues I have experienced since the installation: Defective Zones: Immediately following his maintenance visit, the sprinklers in Zone #2 stopped popping up entirely. As my videos and photos show, the heads just sit at ground level and sputter water directly into the dirt and rocks, forcing me to manually water the area. Inconsistent Coverage: The new spiral heads fail to provide even water distribution. Despite regular watering schedules, the yard now has several clearly visible brown, under-watered spots right next to perfectly green, healthy grass. Poor Professional Advice: When I reached out regarding the dry spots, Toby's recommendation was to drastically increase the watering time to 24-30 minutes per zone.
