Contacted Patrick about the project and he told me Johnny would give me a call shortly. I received a call from Johnny within the hour and setup and appointment for him to come by and give an estimate. I explained what I wanted done and he began working on it right away. I was expecting him to return in a few days, so I was very happy to know it would be worked on right away. He installed the drip to all the plants, trees, and bushes I requested. He then showed me where the roots of a tree had started growing through the pvc and caused a leak in the line. The break was beneath the deck so it was not an easy fix. He was able to return the next day and repair the line.

It was easy to contact Al and to schedule his visit. He arrived on time and spent an hour making the repairs. He gave me some tips about care and operation of my sprinklers and time. I plan to use Bulldog Plumbing and Sprinklers again if the need arises.

Company owner responded to all messages within a few hours, the repairman showed up-before quoted time and was quick and efficient. They were in and out in no time and it was inexpensive for what we thought was going to be a 300 dollar fix!. Could not be happier with this company. I am recommending to all my friends for their lawn care needs.

At precisely 7am on Thurdsay Chris showed up with a helper, and they got to work (bonus points for actually showing up, unlike half the sprinkler companies in Fresno). About ten minutes in Chris got a call about a broken sprinkler line that he needed to go take care of while he went to get the materials, the helper would start the digging. The helper dug for about 30 minutes, and then sat on my front curb for an hour smoking and talking on his cell phone. I understand that he probably didn't want to be doing all of the work on his own, and was probably waiting for Chris to come back, but there was plenty of work that could have been done rather than burn time waiting. For me it was not a big issue, but I could see someone on a schedule being unhappy about that. Chris returned at about 9am with materials minus the rock, but he had gotten cost for that. It was a bit more than I wanted to pay (by about $400 but that was totally my fault for not getting exact cost for the material before hand), and he let me know that once they were ready for that part he would go get it. To Bulldog's credit, they never asked for any money until all of the work was complete. This is good customer service. I let Chris know that his helper had been sitting on his hands for over an hour, and that while I didn't mind, I certainly wasn't paying for that. He assured me that it was not a problem and that he of course would not expect me to pay for that. The work was done a bit slower than quoted, but it was done. I would not call the finished product excellent work, but it was sufficient. Chris did let me know up front that they are a sprinkler company, and generally do not do landscaping work, but since what I wanted was simple enough, they would go ahead and do it. At $75/hr for landscaping work, I would have expected a bit more thorough job (not all weeds were removed, there was a bit of trash left here and there, lots of dirt left on my deck, I had to dig up and properly seat one of the drip lines as it was leaking in the ground), but it was worth it for me to not have to do all of the work. One thing that did irk me a bit though is that the rock we chose came in plastic bags, 27 of them. Rather than take and dispose of that, Bulldog crammed all 27 bags into my recycle can, filling it. My issue with that is that they didn't ask, or even let me know. a simple "hey we filled your recycle can with those bags" would have done it. Not a huge problem as the cans are picked up on Friday, but it did result in a pile of other recyclables sitting in my garage because I was unexpectedly unable to use my recyclable can. Based on my experiences with the other landscapers in Fresno at this time of year, I would very much recommend Bulldog for anyone that needs sprinkler work done in any kind of reasonable time schedule. Other contractors either wanted me to wait up to two months, or just made an appointment and then never showed up. The work was done as agreed (maybe not the most thorough job, but completed on the right day at least), and Chris kept his cost to the "high" rough estimate I had been given the day before, plus materials. Overall about what I would expect from any landscaping contractor, but unlike the others Bulldog actually delivered.
Description of Work
I needed drip irrigation and minor landscaping done around a pool that I had put in last year. Chris came out on Wednesday to give me an estimate. To run approximately 100 feet of drip irrigation, remove a weed infestation in the area, and put down weed barrier and 1.5" pebble over another cubic yard I was given a rough estimate of $450. I was told this would include materials. Chris asked when I wanted it done, of course we wanted it soonest as we had plants that were being watered by hand. He said they could be there at 7am on Thursday. Chris mentioned several times that he believed that his estimate was very high, and the actual cost would be less. This is not the first time we've made an appointment to get this work done, only to have the company not show up at the scheduled time (though this was the first time I've dealt with Bulldog). That night at about 6pm Chris called me and let me know that he had not figured the cost of the rock we wanted in the estimate, but that he would quote the job at $450 plus the cost of the rock, at his cost (which was less than mine as it turns out).

Diagnosed leaking sprinkler and rebuilt 50-year old valve; it works fine now, no more water oozing out on the sidewalk or soggy spots in the lawn. Did not try to high-pressure me into spending a thousand dollars on new valves and pipes which I did not want to do at this time.

This was a very pleasant experience. I needed to get my parents' yard set up on a sprinkling system quickly. Patrick provided a quote which I believe was a fair price and was able to install the system in a very short time. He went the extra mile to meet with me outside of normal business hours to accommodate my schedule and even returned to walk me through the system. I would recommend him very highly.

This is my second time using Bulldog Plumbing and I have been very happy with both visits. Lucas came exactly when he said he would, started working immediately and did an excellent job. He was neat, polite and did what I thought was an impossible job, with ease and was knowledgable about his job. I will call them again.

Patrick sent his employee to the house and he systematically went through my sprinkler system. He hadn't seen my problem before, so the very next morning, Patrick himself came out to the house promptly and quickly diagnosed the problem. He had all the equipment on hand and was able to replace the controller immediately. Then, he spent plenty of time with me going through the new unit to ensure that I understood how it worked. That has not necessarily been my experience in the past with equipment. Usually the person throws a manual at you, and instructs you to refer to it. Patrick is very personable and knowledgeable. I will hire him again!

Because of Bulldog Landscape?s very positive reviews, I called Bulldog Landscape for an estimate of the cost to replace my back yard?s four sprinkler valves. Bulldog?s owner, Patrick, answered the telephone immediately and quoted a price--$215.00, slightly more if my system needed galvanized fittings, which it did-- that was significantly less than the $320.00 that a landscaper who purported to be licensed, but turned out not to be, had quoted. Moreover, another company that I called not only took a day to return my call but tried to convince me to REPAIR the ONE leaking valve, at a cost of between $86.00 to $105.00, rather than replace all four of the NEARLY 24-YEAR-OLD valves for Bulldog?s total price of $215.00. The other company?s price to replace the sprinklers was an amazing $140.00 to $175.00 EACH. Naturally, I decided to schedule an appointment with Bulldog. Bulldog employee Lucas arrived on time and worked meticulously and methodically, which I can attest to since I watched him work, primarily to ensure that he didn?t take shortcuts, do sloppy work, or leave me with a mess. I needn't have worried, however, since Lucas? work was outstanding. Those who plan to pay via credit card, however, should be aware that Bulldog apparently does not accept credit cards, even though Angie?s List indicates otherwise. Nevertheless, I will definitely call Bulldog again when the need arises.

They were very professional and prompt with their service. They showed up on time of our scheduled appointment and got right to work. Once completed they hauled off old water heater and all access debris left over from the original and new water heater. I would definitely recommend this company to family and friends in need of a new water heater.

Patrick was punctual and professional. He had all the supplies needed to finish the job in one day. I found him to be considerate and very knowledgeable about his profession. Just stand back and let him do his job -
Description of Work
Patrick created a water pattern that took care of 100% of our yard. He installed 2 valves. One valve is dedicated to a drip system that covers both high and low plants. He planned the water pattern so the house, and deck would not be hit by water.
