More importantly, when I had some questions several weeks after the job was completed they quickly respond and met with me to resolve the issues. Thumbs up!

Imagine waking up Sunday and seeing a mini water fountain continuously spray water all over your…read morefence and concrete, and hitting the neighbor's yard too. The sprinkler control panel did bot shut down the faulty sprinkler, so its likely a mechanical issue with the control valves in the backyard that failed open. I have no idea how to DIY this so I was lucky to find Ostwald. Yep, they are a 24/7 company and were able to comr out same day in a few hours. Darvin and his helper replaced my entire sprinkler control valve system, faulty sprinkler heads, and did some excavation to fix some leaky pipes. About 3 hours total - not a straightforward job since it also involved wiring and some backyard plumbing. I have an older house so they actually had to shutoff water to the house for a few hours. Not sure why the sprinkler system does not have a separate isolation valve. Maybe it does but its not obvious. Definitely recommend Ostwald Sprinkler Repair for quick turnarounds and responsive service, even on Sundays when most other sprinkler repair companies are closed.

McKay Irrigation Systems gets a very high rating on Yelp (and also from some of my neighbors) for a…read morereason: they do great work. Sherman McKay runs the show, and he runs it well. He's great with communication, and his estimate was right on point. I had some drainage work done at my house which trashed my entire irrigation system, so I needed to have it replaced, both in the front and back yard. The McKay crew did a bang up job of it. They came in on time and on budget. They had the whole system laid out and running within about two days. Then Sherman spent some time with me to make sure I knew how to operate the controllers. In fact, they do more than irrigation, and I will likely have them come back and put in some new plants and do some other work in my backyard. They did such a good job with the irrigation system that I have high confidence they will make quick work of the other jobs too. I strongly recommend them.

Sherman is awesome! We were having an issue with our irrigation control system that resulted in a…read morereally high water bill (spoiler alert--it was my fault, I set it incorrectly). Sherman came over for a quick site visit, adjusted the control for me free of charge and he also took a quick look at our overall system which he thought was running pretty well overall. I'm so appreciative of his help and him sharing his knowledge with me. When we upgrade our irrigation control system this summer, I'll definitely go with Mckay Irrigation. Highly recommend based on my positive interaction, Sherman's vast knowledge and just generally great overall customer service.

I scheduled an estimate with Ernesto's Landscaping for a Monday between 11:30 and noon.

I followed up the next day to reschedule and did not receive any response. I later noticed a prior review describing a very similar experience where an estimate was scheduled and the contractor did not show or follow up. Based on my experience, this appears to be a pattern. Communication and reliability are important, especially just for an estimate. Unfortunately, this was not a good experience.

Highly recommend Ernesto to anyone looking for reliable, skilled landscaping and hardscaping services.

Chris is the best -- he's reliable, his work is extremely well priced, and he stands behind his work. His crew is great as well. I would definitely recommend him and will use him for other garden projects in the future.

After a number of lackluster experiences with TaskRabbit (getting ghosted mid-conversation, having…read moreconfirmed Taskers not show up, having Taskers provide inefficient service), my husband and I decided to start a gardening project on Yelp in order to request quotes for our front and back yard. Isai responded within the hour with an offer to drop by for a free consultation and his contact information. We were able to schedule something for the next day which had to get pushed back another day, but throughout it all, Isai was very communicative and punctual. I received a number of quotes within three days from my Yelp request and Isai was the most reasonable by far. We were able to book a day and time that worked for us the week after. Before our appointment, Isai reached out with at least six different photos of options for ground cover and I appreciated being included in this process even though I don't have extensive knowledge of landscaping or gardening at all. The day of, Isai and his team came in the morning and within just a few hours, completely transformed our front and back yard. They worked quickly and methodically to uproot all of the weeds from the front rock garden and in between the concrete; shaped various shrubbery and trees; weed all of the planters in the back yard, lay down landscaping fabric, and also the mulch; and, sweep up various leaves and fallen fruit. Payment was easy through Zelle and as he left, he notified us that the yard waste would be a little heavy because the weeds were wet. He also asked if we had pets (we don't). He indicated that weeding the front yard was difficult and that a little Round Up at the first inkling of weeds would go a long way in keeping them at bay. We are truly impressed by Isai and his team and very thankful. I would not hesitate to recommend them and to request their services again.

Gerardo came out and did a careful assessment of the yard and walked us through a clear game plan to get everything cleaned up and under control. The scope of work included trimming overgrown trees and shrubs, removing weeds, taking out a few unwanted trees, and spraying for bugs. The crew worked tirelessly for about 9 hours straight to complete the job, and their work ethic was seriously impressive. I really appreciated how professional and thorough they were. They made multiple truck trips to haul away and properly dispose/compost all of the material they removed, which was a lot. Just as important, they did a great job picking up after themselves and left the space looking clean and organized when they finished. Our backyard looks completely transformed now. If you're looking for a hardworking, reliable landscaping team that takes pride in their work, I would absolutely recommend the team at Rosales.

My husband suspected that our sprinklers stopped working. I thought... "Oh no! Not another problem…read morewith this house!" My strategy was to avoid the problem, but he tested it and, sure enough, no sprinkling :( I contacted several local companies and these were the quotes I obtained: - Company 1: $2900 to replace all 10 valves. This might not fix everything and then we might need to replace the electrical components ($1500 additional) - Company 2: $1500 for a new controller and installation, but only recommend 1 type (with a cumbersome looking app) - Latham: $200 (2-hour minimum site visit) to install new controller and can use any extra time to address other issues. We were able to research controllers and bought one we liked (~$200) that had great reviews and an amazing app. Trevor was reliable, showing up on time for the quote and later for the work. After I initially left a voicemail, he responded within 2 business days, then we corresponded by text. Clear communication by text (though sometimes there is a 1-2 day delay). He is usually booked 2 weeks in advance, but worth the wait! On the day of the installation, Trevor was even able to stay an extra hour and fixed a zone that never worked for us AND he replaced some sprinkler heads that were old and not working well. He even let my husband tag along to learn. So total he charged us $325 ($100 for the extra hour, $25 for sprinkler heads). My husband was so happy that he rounded it up to $400! Trevor really saved our butt on this stressor. I thought earlier with the first astronomical quote that we would just have to live with a dead yard. He is our sprinkler guy now and we highly recommend him!
