Outstanding service! Despite modest price, Mike provides high quality service in reasonable time. I have already used the irrigation system for a year before I wrote this review. No problem whatsoever. Mike is absolutely amazing guy, knowledgeable, skillful, very reliable. He now serves our system twice a year for very reasonable price. I am completely satisfied with Mike's performance and I would strongly recommend him to everybody.
Description of Work: I was looking for somebody to instal irrigation system around our house. Five zones covered both front and backyard, Hunter products.

Mark Reese is the owner of the company and he, along with his son, provided the work. We already had a parcial irragation system and he was able to add unto that. His bid on the work was very resonable, I did need him to come back to ajust some of the coverage. Mark was sometimes hard to reach on the phone. Overall, I am pleased with the work and he tried hard to accomodate my needs which included a separate type of irragation for the garden. He did not initiciate an appointment to close the irrigation down for Winter. I had to call him and then call again to see if it was done because I was not home at the time he did it. I also asked Mark to come back in the Fall of 2011 to airriate the lawn which he did for a reasonable price.
Description of Work: I asked for a couple of bids late in 2009. We were adding on to a parcial system that was already in place. The Turftec bid was considerably lower then the other bid but it also used less heads. I decided to go with Turftec and called him in July 2010 to do the work. Mark Reese is the owner of the company and he came with his young son to do the work. It took two or three days to complete. Mark helped me to decide on a plan for separate irrigation for the garden. I had him return late in 2011 to make some ajustments for better coverage in a couple of areas of the yard. He worked hard and left the yards in reasonably good condition after completing the digging.

Courteous prompt and professional from start to finish. Came out same day when I called for a quote. Every time I call, he immediately picked up the phone or called back within minutes! He was able to fit me right in his schedule and work with all my custom requests. Works wonderfully!
Description of Work: He installed 7 zones, including a special zone to water my hanging plants. Zones for both front and back yards, with extra water zones for annual plants.

I contacted Mike Rees Fall of 2009 for an estimate to complete the irrigation in our yard. Previosly only a partial system was in the front. In July 2010 I called to ask him to go ahead with the system. He honored the bid of 2009 and begun work first part of August. He did the work himself so it took several days. His 12 year old son accompanied him and was very helpful to him. He truly seems to enjoy working with his Dad. I am pleased with his work and have asked him to return and aerate the yard later this year. By the way, his bid for the work was consiiderably less then a second bid that I had. Our yard is an odd shape with plenty of tree roots so the work was somewhat challenging, add to that, tieing into the old system. I believe that Mike did a good job.
Description of Work: Complete irrigaion in our yard and garden which included adding on to a special irragaion system.

I called Michael as I had some brown spots from lack of water. He installed my sprinkler system 4 or 5 years ago. He opens it in the spring and closed it in the fall. This was the first time that it needed any kind of service. It did take him a few days to get out to me. But, with the heat and the very dry weather I am sure he was swamped beyond belief.
Description of Work: Adjusted sprinkler heads.

Overall the job was completed, however there where several observations I made. First, this is a one man operation, which meant that the installation was long, and the ability to have quick turn around was challenging. Also, there was no layout plan of the system given after the installation (a nice to have if you ever need to do additional work in your yard). And no initial project plan of work was ever given in writing. However, these were sacrifices I was willing to accept after it was all said and done in order to save nearly $2800 versus other irrigation installation companies. If you can be patient, don't mind a one man show, then you will find this company to be an adequate and a affordable alternative.
Description of Work: The work performed was to install an irrigation system. This was to to include a rain sensor, control panel, sprinkler heads in the lawn and in the landscaping area.

MR REES NOT ONLY INSTALLED THE PIPE BUT CAME UP WITH A SAFETY BACKUP DISCHARGE VALVE, SHOULD THE PIPE EVER BECOME BLOCKED IN THE FUTURE. HE ALSO POINTED OUT, AND CORRECTED, DRAINAGE PROBLEMS AT GUTTER DOWNSPOUTS ELSEWHERE ON MY HOUSE. HIS DESIGN WAS VERY CAREFUL AND METHODICAL. THE ASSISTANT WHO DID THE INSTALLATION WAS DILIGENT, QUIET, AND CAREFUL OF LANDSCAPING IN MY YARD.

WE SAW OTHER ANGIE'S LIST MEMBERS SAY THEY DID EXCELLENT WORK AND LEFT THE YARD LOOKING GREAT AFTERWARD. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE. THEY CUT THE SOD VERY CLEANLY AND LAID IT BACK IN PLACE PERFECTLY.
Description of Work: HAD UNDERGROUND DRAINS INSTALLED TO TAKE WATER FROM DOWNSPOUNTS ON HOUSE. THIS WAS DONE ON 4 DOWNSPOUNTS. THE DRAINS WERE TAKEN OUT TO THE FIRST POINT IN THE YARD WHERE THERE IS UNDOUBTEDLY A POSITIVE FLOW AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. AT THAT POINT, THEY INSTALLED A POP-UP DRAIN WHICH OPENS DURING A HEAVY RAIN TO RELEASE THE WATER.
