Replace sprinkler lines

irrigation systems

Foothill Landscaping and Sprinkler Company did extensive landscaping for me. They fixed a couple of sprinkler heads for me. They planted several trees, bushes and ran some new sprinkler lines for me.

I hired Foothill Landscaping to completely redo my entire back and front yard, and redo my sprinkler system so that is would cover all the grassy areas. In addition, I contracted with them do gardening services to maintain the yard. Within a few months of having spent over $25,000.00 on the re-landscaping of my yard - it had dead zones, weeds and was thoroughly disappointing.

The landscapers were asked to lay decomposed granite in a 10'X15" area one inch down from a surrounding curb. It ended up three inches below and is now a tripping danger (the reason we wanted DG was to do away with the height difference. The landscapers planted the bushes they procurrede differently then we had marked them. They were very spindley and I ended up cutting them way back. They were supposed to amend the soil with gypsum for the azaleas, but forgot and came back and just threw gypsum on top of the plants and soil. They did not remove all the ivy before planting different groundcover. The ivy is already coming back over the new groundcover. Probably the biggest problem they cause was by raking down a stabilized hill until the ground became soft and now water makes large rivulates down the hillside. They were supposed to take out an existing plumbago, but just trimmed it back to the ground. They added needing to rework my recently installed sprinklers to get additional water to the few new plants. They said this would take about 2 hours. They didn't tell me when it went over 2 hours and I was presented with a bill for 6 1/2 hours at $95 an hour. Three of the workers told me my job should have taken no time at all but Zuzow told them to work slower. I stopped work/planting with him. His knowledge of plants was very limited, and he couldn't think of any white flowering shrubs and flowers to go in my woodland garden. He brought plants we had not discussed or agreed on and he was then unhappy with me and was going to charge me a fee for him to return them even though I had not agreed to them.. I would never recommend Foothill Landscaping and Sprinklers for ANY job- big or small..
