Dave was a huge help in a bind. Turned on my sprinklers on a Sunday and one of the valves broke and shot water 20 feet in the air at least. Tried fixing it twice myself but no luck. Called Dave and he stopped by about 20 minutes after my call for an emergency repair. Fixed my problem quickly and efficiently. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the Poway area for sure! read more

Rudgers Landscaping and Construction (David and helper) responded quickly when I contacted them about an irrigation issue where the center of my lawn would not turn on. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill almost immediately. The owner refused to listen to what I was trying to explain and immediately started cutting into irrigation lines without discussing pricing, troubleshooting strategy, or even what he believed the problem might be. Instead, I got long "war stories" about other lawns he had worked on, which did nothing to address my issue. In the end, he never actually found the problem. Instead, he capped off piping and rigged the system so water flowed through all the sprinklers, but with significantly reduced pressure and coverage compared to before. When I pointed this out, he ignored my concerns and told me to go buy different sprinkler heads because that "should" fix the coverage problem. I would expect a professional irrigation contractor to properly diagnose and solve the issue himself. He also replaced the top portion of my solenoid valve with a larger setup that now prevents my valve box door from closing. After I contacted him about this, he promised he would come back and correct it. To date, I have heard nothing. The cleanup and restoration were also sloppy. Soil around the sprinklers was carelessly replaced, and the entire job felt rushed and unprofessional. I honestly regret paying for the service. I do want to say that his assistant was respectful of my property and professional throughout the visit. I only wish the assistant had been the one leading the job instead of the owner. At one point the owner mentioned that he installs artificial grass as well. Based on my experience with this irrigation repair, I personally would not trust him with any landscaping project. read more

David Rudger and his crew did an excellent job fixing my sprinklers today. There were several repairs needed in order to have my sprinklers evenly and adequately cover my lawn in preparation for new seeding. He came out yesterday to look at my yard and returned this morning to do the job. I am pleased with the results and grateful for David's help. read more

Dave's crew installed turf around our home over two days and we are really pleased with the care they took to cut it to size and make sure it looks good! We had a different turf picked out but we were able to get a discount on a better turf that is good for pets, so we were happy for his recommendation and help getting it at a better price than the original we picked. read more

Rudgers Landscape and Irrigation is the absolute best. Not only is this team knowledgeable and professional, they are problem solvers with incredible solutions. David and team has been trustworthy partners in helping us meet all of our irrigation needs. read more

David originally showed great promise, came out to see what I needed very promptly, gave me a quote for an irrigation system before he even left my property. After I confirmed what I wanted and we agreed on the pricing, it all went downhill. Kept saying he will get to me but never did. I got the feeling that maybe he wasn't going to make enough money because my job was too small, which is fine, but just let me know so I can find someone else; instead he opted to lead me into thinking he will get to it soon, and that went on for months. I guess that's my fault for taking him at his word. If this is the way he treats prospective clients before he's even made a sale, I'd hate to imagine how difficult it would be ask him to fix any issues with his work after all is said and done. Do yourself a favor and avoid his business. read more

We had an irritation leak and needed 2 new pressure regulators and an off/on valve installed. Dave came out promptly and had the job done and cleaned up in a short period of time. He is very knowledgeable about his craft and before he left, he even gave me some knowledge about some new grass I had laid recently. We would recommend him to anyone. 5 stars read more

Dave and his crew repaired a main line leak and irrigation system valve resulting from tree root damage. This required grinding the stump of a large, previously removed pine tree (two or three feet in diameter), then digging by hand to access and repair the piping. His approach is thorough and the quality of his thinking is obvious. The price was fair, not low and not extreme, and my feeling in this case is that I got what I paid for including peace of mind that the job was done right. read more

Dave came to my house the same day I called him for a suspected irrigation leak. He got right to business, found and remediated the problem right away. Highly recommended! read more

We contacted David for help with an irrigation leak in our front yard. He was able to help us the day of and took care of the problem in a few minutes. Thank goodness for his immediate response time and efficiency in getting the job done! Thank you so much David! I would highly recommend your company. read more

Very professional and trustworthy. Rudgers was able to provide a quote and complete the move our sprinkler valves within a few days. Efficient. Responsive. Professional. I highly recommend! read more

I called Dave to solve a troublesome irrigation pipe break, and he was able to fit me into his schedule that same day, fix the pipe and some related issues that the breakage had caused, test the system, and clean up. Very pleased with the service! read more

Wow!! Dave and the Rudger team. Let's start by saying, Dave was very responsive, they made the time to help us. They arrived and immediately began working on our irrigation system. They were able to make the repairs needed and add new irrigation in incredible time. Dave installed the new control timer in minutes. We will definitely be calling Dave and the Rudgers team again, thanks Dave! read more

We had a huge leak on our driveway causing major havoc. We called Dave and he kindly came out that same day to assess the situation. Within minutes he was able to diagnose the problem with his years of experience and expertise. The next day they repaired the leak. Not only that, he checked our water pressure and found out it was way to high for our pipes and installed a pressure regulator valve to prevent future issues. If you want quality work then Dave is your guy. I'd recommend him to anyone and will hire him for any future jobs. read more

Fast and straight-forward. Was able to easily diagnose an overcurrent issue and resolve the problem in a matter of minutes.

Dave was amazing. Came on a Sunday - last minute and did a great job fixing an irrigation pipe that was leaking. will definitely use again. read more

Pipes under my lawn were leaking. David came right over, dug, found the problem and repaired it. Great service, great repair. Thanks, David. read more

Spoke to Dave on the phone on Tuesday to have him come visit , explain our needs and hopefully hire him for a complete rebuild of the irrigation system , new landscaping and subsequent weekly maintenance going forward. Dave could not commit to a time but said we where on for Saturday and he would call us in the morning with an exact time. No call and no show. read more

Called this morning for a leaking irrigation valve and they said someone would come over this morning. He came over within an hour and came and fixed the valve, checked everything and fixed part of the drip system while he was here. Highly recommend Rudgers Landscaping in Poway. read more

Simply stated, AWESOME! I called Dave around 11:00 am as I was in crisis mode with multiple irrigation issues. Within a couple of hours he an Mike arrived as they adjusted their schedule to take care of these issues. Dave and Mike were very professional, knowledgeable and knew exactly what needed to be done. High quality work at a very fair and reasonable price. Oh, before I forget, they also have a fun personality and definitely were a pleasure to work with. I love to support small companies that are based in our Poway/RB area! You won't be disappointed if you need any irrigation or landscape work to be completed. Thanks guys, job well done. I will definitely give your contact info to my neighbors. read more

I called Rudgers Landscape this morning and they have already fixed my leaks! Fast, excellent work at a reasonable price. My water bill had doubled. I called the company that originally replaced my irrigation valves many years ago and they couldn't come out for 3weeks. Meanwhile, my next door neighbors told me what great work they got from Rudgers Landscape. Rudgers Landscape used parts that were superior to the parts that had been used by the previous company for the valve replacements and for the irrigation shut off valve (that was also leaking). They checked the system out and no more leaks. What a relief! read more

Dave was awesome! I called him and left a message and within 30 minutes he called me back and showed up on my doorstep! Everything was fixed in a matter of minutes. No fancy upsell or shady business here! All transparent and efficient! Thank you Dave! We will definitely be your loyal customers for life. read more

Called at 0930 am and by 1pm they were at my residence fixing the 2 problems I had in the front yard... irrigation valve needed to be replaced and one of the sprinkler system valves also needed to be replaced. very professional...got the job done with care and explanation... thanks read more

Replaced all the drip irrigation on our hill with low flow sprinklers, to provide much better coverage. Also replaced and outdated controller, and valves that were not working well. Dave was honest and did not oversell what we needed. He and his crew were quick and neat about their work. Would definitely recommend read more

Dave was great taking my initial phone call and arriving about a hour later. He quickly assessed our problems. (I ran over the sprinkler with the lawnmower and wrecked the sprinkler head). He also quickly repaired my old wiring, and adjusted other sprinklers I was having issues with. Great, quick, and friendly service. Thanks read more

Called up looking for repair work on 2 valves and a sprinkler head. Turned out I needed a third valve, as the previous repair guy didn't do a good job since it was leaking after less than a year. Prices are very reasonable. Of the 5 places I called, 3 didn't call back with 24hrs, and I received 2 quotes. The lower one by at least 20% was Rugers landscape. They were able to fix the issue the next day, as I got lucky they were in the area already. Friendly, good banter, and witty too as I watched them finish their work, and to learn a bit for my own curiosity. Would recommend them if you need any work read more

I had a valve leak in my sprinkler system and Dave came out and repaired the issue quickly. He is very knowledgeable about irrigation. To make sure the new valve had stopped the leaking he checked my water meter. He also checked out my sprinkler control box. Would highly recommend read more

Excellent job fixing a difficult problem on my sprinkler system. Quick, reasonable and professional. I believe Dave really enjoys what he does and that's why he is so good at it. read more

Dave was easy to convey my irrigation repair needs to .he ran through the system and updated the program along with the necessary repairs. Icing on the cake... he got my 300 lb tortoise back in her yard and repaired her escape route thus avoiding future damages. As a solo home owner this was a refreshing experience and I would highly recommend the fairly priced services and ease of dialogue what a nice surprise read more

I had a valve problem on our sprinkler system. Called Rudgers at 10 am because of the good reviews on yelp. Thanks fellow yelpers for the recommendation. Dave arrived at 1130 and finished up by 1 pm. Fast response- valves replaced and the yard and garden is back to full speed. Prices were about what I expected for the service. Dave was personable and friendly. You can tell when someone knows their stuff, he's a true professional. Thanks Rudgers for the bang up job. read more

David came out on short notice to help us figure out a problem with our irrigation system. We are somewhat familiar with fixing irrigation issues but this one we just could not figure out. Turns out, on our zero lot line with our neighbor, they had some work done on their property from a contractor who ended up cutting our irrigation line and capping it off. We had no idea that one of our irrigation zones went under their property to get back over to ours until David had the idea to check and sure enough it did, which was a weird design from previous owners of our house. I don't think we or anyone else we would have hired could have figured it out that quickly except David! Thanks so much David we really appreciate it. read more

Dave was very responsive, coming out within days of contacting him. He quickly diagnosed the faulty valves, lack of pressure regulator and missing connections of my drip system (which was installed only 1 year ago by a another company.) Finding a reliable company to work on your sprinklers is difficult but I have found a winner with Rudgers Landscape. Definitely worth the call. Thanks Dave! read more

When I called Dave, he responds quickly and come to check the problem. The next day, He and his workers came early in the morning and fixed my sprinkle leaking problem under the concrete. He also helped to check my water regulator to home and identified the some issue with the water regulator. He explained in details and help to order the replacement online. I appreciate his good work. Andrew read more

I've used David twice now and both times he's diagnosed the problem quickly and fixed them quickly! One issue was with sprinkler heads/irrigation and the other with a fractured pipe. The pricing is all very fair and on top of that, he gives recommendations on how to better care my lawn and is overall a very friendly guy. Highly recommend if you need a reliable repair guy for your landscaping. read more

Excellent service. David helped me with an emergency leaking valve repair on a weekend and found my shut off valve which we had previously been unable to locate. He also gave me a tip to extend the life of my valves. Am glad to have found a knowledgeable, responsive irrigation specialist! read more

Stay away from this company. Flawed materials, flawed labor, not willing to own up to a major malfunction. Throw the customer overboard. I will never recommend Rudgers to anyone and I'l go out of my way to spread the word around Poway about the pitiful reliability. More to come. read more

Fantastic job of updating my irrigation system. David was very efficient and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend him.

Honest, quick, solid job, and reasonable cost - as good as it gets for a contractor. Dave came out day after I called - quickly diagnosed the problem and provided me with options on how to fix. They were done in a couple of hours and did a great job! Recommended! read more

Dave came out on a Saturday, I thought to give me an estimate to repair one of my drip lines. Two hours later it was repaired. His price was more than reasonable and was one tenth the price I had been quoted by another company. read more

I had a leak in my front yard, and called the Friday before New Years. I was expecting that they would come out the following week, but they were at my house within a couple of hours! They quickly resolved our leak, were very courteous, and fair priced. I am so happy I made the call. I will be calling Rudgers again when I landscape! read more
