However, Aaron and his crew were FANTASTIC. They solved an issue with our sprinkler system in 2 hours that we have had other companies try to solve over the course of a year or more. The price is a bit steep but the quality of the work is worth it. Aaron is very personable and super competent and as long as he's at Hydra, Hydra will be our go-to irrigation company from now on.

The quotes we received all came back relatively close in price. Initially, we almost didn't go with Andy's company because of the format of the estimate he provided. However, after meeting with him, he was candid, very responsive to correspondences, knowledgeable and detailed with our inquiries. He was very informative throughout the process and provided better solutions than the other businesses for our upcoming lawn projects. After hiring Andy, he remained committed to making sure we were happy with each aspect of the work all the way until we did the final walk through. He continuously kept us informed of the schedule, and we appreciated that the yard was kept clean. We were very impressed with the level of effort they put into making sure the grass and dirt were placed back into the trenches they dug. Overall, great work, customer service, and professionalism throughout the project. Highly recommended!

We made an appointment for Friday, 5 September between 11.00 and 1130. I got a message at 10:48 on the that day saying he was held up on a job involving a well for drinking water. I understand that drinking water is more important that irrigation and let him know that I understood. He said he would swing by later in the day but never showed and never called saying he would not be able to make it. He reached out that night at about 8:30 apologizing and we rescheduled for 10 September between 3:30 and 4:00. Because it was urgent to get a operable pump going, I reached out to M&D Pumps on Saturday morning and ended up speaking with a nice man named Marc. He was there within an hour and had a new pump installed and running within 2 hours after my call. He was also a very pleasant man who was very knowledgeable. On 10 September, Malcolm again did not show and again, he never called to let me know. I sent him a text expressing my disappointment and asked if everything was ok . . . no response. I reached out a day or two later and have not heard back from him. So . . . based on my experience, if you are looking for someone who may or may not show up to work on your irrigation system by all means - GNC Pumps and Irrigation is your company, give Malcolm a call. If you are looking for a company that can work on your pump and will show up in a timely manner then I strongly recommend calling Marc at M&D Well and Pump at 757-718-6149. I ended up doing the irrigation work myself but I have three neighbors that recommended Joe Mallack Irrigation at (757) 615-0868. I'm sure there are other great irrigation companies but I cannot recommend calling GNC.

Fast forward a year and my sprinklers didn't come on so I went out to check the controller and ended up totally screwing it up!!

Heads-Up it is time for an update…read more While I was originally unimpressed the first two times I used their annual services to maintenance my sprinkler system that they installed, over the last few years it appears they have improved their processes and I haven't had any issues. They send annual email reminders now at the beginning and close of the season to schedule your routine sprinkler test and turn-on and turn-off (winterize) your system. Additionally, they're responsive to phone and email (email is preferred for me) and they have their individuals call when they are on the way so if they give you a window of a few hours you can still wander a bit away from the home and have about 15-30 minutes to get back. The individuals who have come out to my property have been polite and prompt and have listened to my needs and adjusted the timing schedule and showed me how to use and update the schedule if I want to make changes. No issues or complaints here. They are doing a good job and seem to have taken some of the feedback for improvement to heart.

I contracted with this company in May to construct a 6 foot by 6 foot fish pond. I was given…read morepictures of possible pond designs. The price was reasonable. The pond construction was not started until Sept. 5th. The boulders/ stones were huge and took up much of the interior of the pond. When I requested that smaller stones be used, the owner unilaterally cancelled the construction project, replaced my original pre-formed pond into my yard, and removed all of the materials. He kept my $1,971.50 deposit although he breached the contract and much of the costs incurred resulted from his company purchasing and attempting to use boulders that were inappropriate for a small pond.

I'm not sure how this company got such great reviews. We hired them to level our front yard and…read moreremove some old tree stumps. When we were given a price, it was based on having to bring in heavy equipment to remove the stumps and level the yard. Since we are not knowledgeable about such things, we believed that this was necessary. The next day, the guy shows up with four guys who have nothing more than shovels. They spent less than 2 hours removing the stumps and only leveled out where the stumps had been. When questioned about this, we were informed the price was the price - regardless of the means to accomplish the task. Definitely a misrepresentation of the services and equipment required. We paid something like $375 an hour based on being mislead as to what was required. Later we learned that our neighbor hired them a year ago to the tune of $10k and they never finished the job. This company is misleading at best.
