"According to our records we only cut her yard once. It was a double cut because it was so tall.. According to the original communications with the home owner, the mow service was set up on an as needed basis unless otherwise notified. We were never contacted after the initial mow."

"Sorry, spring time is very busy and we can't always keep up with the requests. We have been in contact with the owner and may get to meet this fall. This was for lawn service, not sprinkler system work."

Allen Outdoor performed the sprinkler installation in 2007 and does routine service that includes yearly back flow inspections required by the city of St. Louis as well as annual start up and shut down of the irrigation system.  It made sense that AOS having familiarity with installation and hardware to hire them for the service being done in conjunction with a back yard landscaping project designed and installed by a different local company.  While the end result was satisfactory, getting to that point was problematic due entirely to poor communication internally at AOS between customer service who scheduled the work first with me and then with the field crew who did the job.  I have no complaints about the work actually done, it will suit my purpose, but scheduling and managing the logistics when another contractor is involved proved to be a headache.  I did not solicit a second bid and regret not doing so because I dont' have a basis now for comparing the price I paid for what amounted to less than 3 hours of work involving very little excavation,  moving a control box about 18" and laying out drip line tubing.  I can't honestly say the experience inspired the kind of confidence that would make me go to AOS again

Early on, there were some logistical glitches, but these got straightened out eventually and the property looks great.

After discovering a leak in my sprinkler line, it took longer than it should have for a manager from Allen to call me back and rectify the situation. Once he did, however, he was very apologetic, and personally accompanied the tech to my house to ensure the work was done as promised. My sprinkler system is back up and running.

I used to use them for lawn irrigation but I no longer use them. They came out the year before and told me our backflow preventer had busted, which I knew we'd have to replace. So I called them to have them replace it. I had called them maybe 10 times to try to set up a schedule for them to come out and repair it. When they did come out, they just said, "Yes, you need a new backflow preventer" and they charged me for coming out to tell me that's what I needed, even though they already charged me for doing that in the Fall. At that point, it became too much of a pain to deal with them. So I went with a different company that I'm still with now.
Response from Allen Outdoor Solutions
"[removed member name] contacted us on the off-season. We then contacted our licensed master plumber for replacement of his backflow device multiple times, but due to their work load and lack of man power at the time, they couldn't get Mr. White fit in, in a timely fashion. Unfortunately, they were not keeping us informed. This is an isolated incident and the client was contacted multiple times to work out a solution, but we have not received any return phone calls. We had no luck in communicating with the client to come to a satisfactory outcome, after the fact."

Response from Allen Outdoor Solutions
"This client was a first time customer who requested a sprinkler start up and estimate for repairs. The general manager was sent to perform the free estimate and start, which is a fee of $80 for the start-up. The estimate was given to [member name removed] for upgrade/repairs to sprinkler system. We never heard that anything was wrong until the client received a letter from St. Louis County Public Works for a failure to test the backflow. She was upset we didn't test the backflow, but we explained to her that it was not requested at the time the manager went out to the property. A backflow test would have been an additional $80. We asked to schedule a backflow test, but [member name removed] declined and never contacted us for the repairs to the system. We had no knowledge that there was a problem until we received the bad review. [member name removed] was given a follow-up phone call on the matter to try and work out a resolution, but she is unwilling to cooperate."
