Aaron Sampson is not a landscaper ... he is a "yard whisperer ". I was looking for a qualified…read moreperson to carry out a project for us that I was already pretty clear about. When Aaron looked at the property he not only saw the ideas that I had envisioned but he also saw a better version of what I wanted. He stuck to the budget we had and his crew was efficient skilled and knowledgeable as well. I would recommend Aaron for any project that you are interested in doing. Plus he has a wonderful dog named Lady who is friendly and adorable.

Upon calling, Aaron scheduled a time to take a look at the project, which involved clearing up…read moreovergrown plants and trimming plants. I mentioned what I needed, and an estimated budget, and was told to wait for a followup. It took a while to get in touch, probably because of my network provider or that he had plenty other projects to attend to, but I was able to call him and luckily his crew in Novato, Rob, was already there and I was able to get the task done the same day. I emailed other services with no replies, left voicemails with no callbacks, and was even promised someone to come by and look, but didn't show up. I did leave a voicemail for Aaron to get back to me and when he did, the network decided to drop the call. It wasn't his fault, so I knew to call him when I had a more stable connection. Since he was the only one that responded, showed up, and gave a synopsis of the project, taking into mind my budget, I couldn't let it go. The day Rob and his crew came, it took under an hour to get the task done. He went over what Aaron recapped for him, and went it over again with me so we were on the same page. He asked more questions that were missed the first, like keeping some of fences or remove them. They cleaned up after themselves and put all the foilage in the bin for disposal. Friendly, efficient, and fast. I could see what they were doing and it was impressive to see the backyard mess go away. It was pretty difficult to contact garderners around here during this time, but with patience, and good reception, I'd recommend Sampson's Landscaping. I know I will when the place becomes a mess again.

It's spring of 2020 in the middle of a pandemic. Our 28 year old drip irrigation system has baked…read morein the sun over the years & been patched multiple times. Our big water bill clues us in that we have a leak. Although we're finally allowed to have outdoor gardening services again, of course everyone is swamped and few are specialized in repairing irrigation systems. The irrigation supply store Watersavers in San Rafael recommended David Melendez of Marin Landscape Service so we gave him a call. What a great recommendation! I can't say enough about how professional, courteous, knowledgeable and supportive David is. Unlike a competing irrigation professional I talked with in Fairfax, he came out without charging a fee to assess the problem and then scheduled a prompt follow-on visit to repair the system. Our controller was shot and we needed a replacement controller of approximately the same size that could be placed in the same location. David listened to our needs and found a programmable controller with more capabilities than the one we had that allows me to control the irrigation with an app on my phone. I love not having to go out to the controller and sit on the ground to have to change the settings. Even better, our irrigation controller is now updated to a more water saving technology that adjusts the watering automatically by taking into account the local weather, including higher or lower temperatures and rain in the forecast. In addition to replacing our ancient controller, David repaired 2 of our valves that also had problems and patiently stepped through how to program the controller while I filmed his lesson on my phone. He also recommended how long to water during the current season. You can't go wrong with David Melendez at Marin Landscape Service for your irrigation system repairs. (The added bonus is that he's a super nice person with a great sense of humor!)

The yard turned out fantastic...and just as important- one time, within budget.
