"We had a total of 4 bids from different local licensed landscape contractors. The first thing that attracted us to Elliot's Sprinklers and Landscape was their presentation of their estimated bid proposal for our backyard. Mike Elliot himself emailed me in 48 hours and had a 5 page written estimate with each category highlighted in complete detail. Every aspect from design, square footage and materials being used were priced accordingly. You know they took the time and research to make sure that everything is valued accordingly. Most bids we receive from other landscape contractors were just 1 page and only showed the approximate cost. Elliot's Sprinkler and Landscape are also big in water conservation which was also a big plus for me considering California's current drought crisis.
Mike Elliot worked with the design I had in mind and had many helpful recommendations which I would never have thought of doing. He made the necessary adjustments to stay within my budget. His team of professionals who is led by Jon were all courteous, hardworking and answered all of my questions and made sure I have full understanding how each element works in my backyard. All materials used were top quality. The irrigation system used were all water efficient or has water saving features. Workmanship was nothing but excellent, Mike Elliot sets a high standard and has a keen attention to detail where minor imperfections such as a drip system tubing showing above ground will be corrected. The trees and shrubs that were planted in my backyard not only had good variation but also served a purpose. 
One of the most important aspects of backyard landscape that usually gets overlooked at is it's drainage system. A backyard won't function well and can create problems if water can't exit out in the front. When he had some heavy rain a couple of weekends ago, excess rain water were all directed and collected to the 4 drains they had installed. This means that they had planned and graded my soil appropriately where no water will remain stagnant. They even placed 2 drains on my concrete patio.
Elliot's Sprinkler and Landscape stands behind their work and offers 1 year warranty. Dealing with this company is money well spent.

"He was ok.  Scheduling was easy.  I thought he was very nice and showed up on time.  He came on a very hot day and the work just wasn’t A-rated.  He did what was asked, but was the bare minimum.  I asked him to help with the sprinkler system, but they still aren’t working too well.   He worked for six hours, and we traded a couple of sprinkler parts for the remaining two hours."

"The sprinkler system did not work from the control box due to gardener error. Foley responded to the internet request immediately, came right out to diagnose the problem, fixed it, and charged only half of his stated fee because the fix was really simple. When my gardener is no longer useful, I will enquire if Foley is interested in the gardener's job."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Reducing household waste is the best way to save money on junk removal costs in the long run. Reusable kitchen, pantry, and cleaning supplies will make a large dent, as will creating an easy compost and recycling system in your home. Additionally, create an ongoing practice of recycling, donating, or repurposing items that are ready to go.

It may sound icky, but yes, urine encourages microbial activity that breaks down organic matter faster. It’s rich in nitrogen, which helps balance carbon-heavy materials like dry leaves or straw. Use sparingly and apply it to a well-balanced pile, not one already high in nitrogen. 

Unless it’s rubber or you need to prune suckers and remove weeds, you shouldn’t need to get rid of the old mulch around your tree. Simply push old mulch a few inches away from the trunk of your tree and then top it off with enough fresh mulch to reach 3 to 4 inches in height.

To prepare your lawn for core aeration, water it the day before you aerate. (Alternatively, you can wait until it rains and aerate the following day.) Aerating after watering or a rainy day will make the process easier since you can penetrate moist soil better than dry soil. You should also flag your sprinklers so that you don’t accidentally hit them while aerating. If you have a lot of thatch buildup in your yard, you might need to dethatch your lawn before aerating as well.

If you don’t remove a bush properly, it’ll come back each year. Removing the root system entirely is the only way to ensure the plant doesn’t have a chance to grow back. You can also use natural weed killers or you can choose to suppress the area with landscaping fabric. Additionally, consider planting alternative, non-invasive vegetation to deter the return of thorn bushes.
