Unhappy with my former mowers I happened to see my neighbor's lawn service around and asked for a price to mow mine.  Elite turned out to be cheaper and better.  The team isn't temperamental and always tries to please.  I tend to be a bit picky.  They are also willing to go the extra mile.  I look forward to them continuing for years to come.  The price for the fall work was competitive and well done.  I definitely got grass this spring instead of nothing to show for my money like I did when the last team did it.  I'm well pleased.

I contacted Rex Starkey with Elite Lawn and Landscaping about giving me a bid and describing his plan for installing a lawn sprinkler system.  He was prompt, personable, and detailed in what he proposed.  He told me how they would put it in, how many zones and approximately how many heads would be involved, and how long it would take.  He would use a Hunter Sprinkler system and parts (which I understand is of good quality).  His bid also included the yearly maintenance required ($140) and a wireless rain sensor.  It was reasonable (from what we heard of others), so we accepted.  I dreaded having our yard torn up and looking a mess, but knew in the long run, it would be worth it.  It took them (three guys) 2 days to completely install the system!  Although they had machines for some of it, I watched them expend lots of energy in manual labor.  I was impressed and relieved that Rex was one of the three people doing the work.  I thought the control box and cords (which were NOT exposed, but covered) in the garage looked very neat and professional.  And to my surprise, when they were finished, it was hardly noticeable that we'd even had a system put in!  I also appreciated that they put down grass seed to help spur growth in any bare areas.  We had friends in the following weekend, and they were shocked that we'd had a system put in a week ago. Rex made sure I knew how to operate the controls for the system, and he preprogrammed the time for each station ( there were 6!). Now before I tell you this next part, you have to know that we have very low water pressure (always have).  About four or five days later, he told me he wasn't happy with the way the system performed with the water pressure, and that if he split up two of the stations, he felt we would have better pressure.  I did not complain nor ask for this, but I appreciate the fact that even though he was paid, he was willing to try to make a good system work better for us.  I appreciated his conscientiousness.  They came back out and added two more stations. We can tell a big difference in the water pressure, but would have never known it could improve had he not brought it to our attention.  The best part is that we did not have to pay additionally for the two extra stations.  He said he wanted to honor his quote!
This is a company of integrity that I would highly recommend!  Now just waiting for those hot dry months!

I found them by calling around and getting bids.  The thing I liked about their bid was that they use propane instead of gas in their mowers so that they can get a flat rate for their fuel.  This ensures their fuel rate does not increase and they can quote me the same amount for the whole season without it changing.  It was nice to know his fuel charge would not fluctuate with the prices of gas.  I would use them again in the future.
