DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. THEY MISREPRESENTED THEMSELVES AS EXPERTS AND WERE DISHONEST ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS.
Description of Work: DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! I HIRED THIS COMPANY TO INSTALL IRRIGATION AND LANDSCAPING IN THE FRONT OF MY HOME. I CONTACTED THEM IN NOVEMBER AND WORK WAS COMPLETED IN DECEMBER 2001. CHRIS REPRESENTED HIMSELF AS AN EXPERT IN BOTH AREAS. IN EARLY 2002, I DISCOVERED THE WATER SENSOR WAS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. WHEN CHRIS CAME TO CHECK ON THE SENSOR, I FOUND THEY WERE NO LONGER IN THE LANDSCAPING BUSINESS BUT WERE FOCUSING ON THE RETAIL BUSINESS. OBVIOUSLY, THEY WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS IN DECEMBER! I NOTICED SOME OF THE PLANTS WERE NOT FAIRING WELL WHEN THE SUMMER ARRIVED. I CALLED ANOTHER LANDSCAPER TO LOOK AT THE BACK OF MY HOME TO CONTINUE WORK. THE PERSON CALLED ME TO TELL ME SOME OF THE PLANTS IN THE FRONT COULD NOT STAND THE SUN AND WOULD CERTAINLY NOT SURVIVE. TWO OTHER PLANTS WERE NOT LIVING. THIS WAS WITHIN THE VERBAL 6 MONTH WINDOW FOR PLANT REPLACEMENT. CHRIS REPLACED THE DEAD PLANTS AND MOVED THE OTHERS. NOW, THE SENSOR IS NOT WORKING

THEY WERE THE LOWEST OF MANY QUOTES AND THEY WERE EXTREMELY DETAILED IN THEIR PRESENTATION AND PLANNING. THEY THOROUGHLY EXPLAINED EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SYSTEM TO US SO THAT WE HAD A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF EVERYTHING THAT WAS INVOLVED. THEY WERE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND SEEMED TO BE VERY EXPERIENCED. THEY DIDNT TRY TO UPSELL US AND WERE VERY HONEST ABOUT EVERYTHING.

KUDOS TO THE YARD SHOP! WE WERE EXTREMELY SATISFIED WITH THEM AND WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE.
Description of Work: WE HAD OUR LAWN AERATED AND FERTILIZED AND WE HAD SHRUBS PLANTED WHERE OUR YARD WAS BANKED. WE WERE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE LAWN WORK. WE CONTACTED CHRIS AT THE YARD SHOP AND HE ACCOMMODATED US IMMEDIATELY BY HAVING THE CONTRACTOR COME BACK OUT AND REDO THE WORK. CHRIS CAME BY AND MADE SURE THE WORK WAS COMPLETED TO OUR SATISFACTION. HE ALSO GAVE US A DIFFERENT MULCH BECAUSE WHAT WAS SUPPLIED WAS NOT WHAT WE HAD EXPECTED AS PER THE CONTRACT.

HAPPY WITH THE WORK THEY PROVIDED. ALTHOUGH THEY LEFT ALL OF THE YARD WASTE AT THE CURB IN ONE HUGE PILE. AND OF COURSE THE CITY WON''T TAKE IT UNLESS IT IS SMALL ENOUGH AND PLACED IN SMALL BUNDLES. THEY FINISHED THE INSTALLATION BUT LEFT A LOT OF WORK FOR ME.

PERFORMED MUCH OF IRRIGATION SYSTEM INSTALLATION WHEN TOO WET CAUSING DAMAGE TO EXISTING SOD. DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO ATTEMPT TO REPAIR SOD (QUOTE INCLUDED OVERSEEDING, WHICH WAS NOT PERFORMED). BILLING PROCESS IS CUMBERSOME. NO ABILITY TO PROVIDE BRICK SAMPLES. I HAD TO GO TO BRICK CO. AND MAKE SELECTION. PERIODICALLY RUDE AND ABRUPT WHEN DEALING WITH MY WIFE (ACCORDING TO HER). CONSISTENTLY ATTEMPTED TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME VIA MY WIFE ALTHOUGH I CONSTANTLY ASKED THAT ALL COMMUNICATION COME DIRECTLY TO ME. GENERALLY KEPT WORKSITE CLEAN. COMPUTER BASED LANDSCAPE DESIGN WAS LACKING. SMALL, BLACK & WHITE PRINTOUT, NO ATTEMPT TO INCLUDE REQUESTED PLANTS AND NOT VERY IMAGINATIVE.
