Lawn and Garden Sprinkler System Repair
Mike is a great guy to work with. Our home, being prepped for rental, had 20 year old plus irrigation system irregularly maintained and with an inconsistent water bill. Mike walked around and gave a detailed assessment and very fair estimate for the work. I do not live near by so he sent regular video updates of the work- and the inevitable surprises that comes with working with ancient irrigation. He knows all the Latin names of plants, recommended what should go and what to replaced and what the watering should look like for current plants and trees. Extra work was required for some drip lines and line-burying to avoid squirrels; final invoice again extremely fair. My only regret is we didn’t find him sooner while we lived in the house- though I am happy that our renters will enjoy a beautiful garden. Summary: Better Gardening and Landscape Services offers knowledgeable, practical, beautiful solutions to landscape irrigation issues in a timely manner with excellent communication.

Mike is the best at what he does. His service is outstanding and fair. The job I gave him with my sprinkler problems could not be solved by my gardener. Mike diagnosed the problem and worked very hard to implement the solution. I highly recommend him!

Mike did an excellent job repairing a sprinkler pipe which had dislodged, causing low water pressure. Mike is very experienced and knowledgeable at his work and correctly diagnosed the problem. His team fixed it in no time. Price was reasonable. It was a pleasure to hire him and I plan to re-hire him for my future projects.

Mike came up with good solutions for all the "curves" that our 25-year old landscape watering setup presented after we dug up and traced the lines and their leaks. We ended up with a solidly designed and organized set of new valves, and new anti-siphon vacuum breaker valve, shutoff, etc. Recommend him highly (and will work with him on other landscaping projects again soon).

Mike was awesome to work with. He imparted a lot of knowledge so that I could do some of the work myself. He installed a smart timer and fixed some irrigation issues. He gave me a list of stuff I could get at Lane Irrigation so I didnâ t pay a ton of $$. Heâ s an all around nice guy and super helpful. Would highly recommend!

I highly recommend Mike. He came to fix what appeared to be a simple broken sprinkler head or pipe that turned out to be a much larger, messier problem. We lucked out getting him for the job. He is experienced (showed in his careful assessment and problem-solving), professional, reliable (shows up when he says he will) and a good communicator.

These fellows went out of their way to squeeze me in, plus gave me tips on much needed advice that changed my perspective of my yard! They took a little while to get back to me but understand they are extremely busy and was very much appreciative of their fair pricing.

I hired Better Gardening & Landscape Services from the HomeAdvisor web page / recommendation. The owner, Michael Veazie, responded and came to my home for our appointment/consultation. Mike was prompt, courteous and very knowledgeable. Mike was able to identify and solve my issue as well as provide a wealth of additional information that has proven to be very helpful. I had the opportunity to chat with Mike while he did a bit of the work and took a few moments to watch 'over his shoulder' while he was working. It was very clear that Mike takes pride in his work and 'does things right'. This was absolutely the type and quality of service I was looking for. The experience was about as good as you could hope for and I wholeheartedly recommend this business.

Mike was great! He came out and fixed our issue very quickly! He was also super knowledgeable and gave us a ton of advice on how to improve the health and appearance of our lawns. He gave us recommendations for next steps but never pressured us to do more than we were ready to. Definitely will be hiring him when we upgrade our sprinkler system

Mike talked me through the problem and the solution over the phone. Despite it being a fairly simple issue, I am not mechanically inclined and he did not make me feel like an idiot for not figuring it out for myself.
