Waterscape Creations

Everything went just fine from arrival to finish. In addition, at my request he furnished an estimate to expand my current lawn irrigation system. While I have not yet decided to go ahead with this project - I would definitely use this company's service again.

He came out to look at our yard. We talked about a couple of ideas. I mentioned that we were on a budget and were hoping to have the work broken into stages. Also, we were hoping to have a landscaper do some of the work and also do some of it ourselves. I mentioned one plant in particular that I don't care for that I see in lots of landscaped areas. When he emailed us the estimate and design layout, I was disappointed. I was really hoping for something more. There were a couple of good ideas I wouldn't have thought of myself, but overall it was a very simplistic plan (maybe to stay in a low budget?). There was no breakdown as to how we could have this implemented over time or do some of the work ourselves. He also included the one plant I asked him not to. :( All in all, I'm sure they do good work, but I was looking for something more detailed.

The plan was very amateurish. It looks like something I could've created on my computer if I just discovered Photoshop. There was no dimension, there was no scale, there were no drawings, there were no plant suggestions. It was not what I was led to believe at all by the description on the ad when I bought the landscape plan.

They are great! The designs were beautiful and affordable. They listened to what I wanted and brought it all together.

John and his partner were punctual for the appointment. They inspected the sprinkler system to see if they could identify any problems and to ensure there was efficient water coverage. Their inspection revealed that some adjustments were needed to the sprinkler heads for water coverage and they identified damage to one head. Appropriate adjustments were made where needed and one damaged sprinkler head was replaced. They were very professional and provided good feedback on how we could more effectively water by making adjustments to the watering times for the various zones depending on whether or not they were rotors or misters. They set the controller for proper watering times and duration. Their comments and feedback were very helpful and most appreciated! It was a pleasure doing business with them.

a bit difficult to schedule...slow responsiveness to phone calls and emails...yet did eventually show up and complete the job. The price was fair.

He arrived on time. Quickly checked all of the stations and sprinkler heads. Looking forward to working with him in the future.

So far I have not had the job done. The quoted price was around $1,200 and I am going to call him and do the grass part of the job anyway.

Very professional and knowledgeable. Very easy to work with and were flexible with scheduling. Didn't try to sell anything or push products. Were happy to provide an estimate on another project at my request.

The came out a week ago and the service went good. They were pretty good.

They were on time and professional. They found a few items that needed repair and optimized the system.

Provider did a fine job. He said he would send me a diagnostic report by email but I haven't received it yet.

They were excellent. The company has integrity and they do good work. They are also reliable.

John did an audit of our sprinkler system, so this is a commentary on his audit only, not on any of his other services which I have not tried. We just moved into our home and it was pointed out during the inspection that the sprinkler system was in need of repair, so we purchased John's audit Big deal on Angie's List. John's schedule sounded tight, but he accommodated me within a reasonable timeframe. When he came he ran the sprinklers and made adjustments where he could. He pointed out broken nozzles or heads and later gave me an estimate of repair costs. (He did try to adjust one head and it ended up worse than before, so John recommended it be replaced.) He explained the differences between rotors and popups and suggested how long each should run for efficiency and without being wasteful of water. He pointed out areas that were getting too little water, or too much water. He took his time while he was here doing the audit, I appreciate his suggestions and advice. I ended up calling someone else for the repairs only because John seemed busy and was not able to schedule me in for the follow-up repair work. John is pleasant and knowledgeable, I would recommend him.

Bid to do $300 worth of repairs, including replacing a sprinkler control panel . . . that works!

Service was great. I had recently added a fence and shed and knew my sprinkler system would need to be adjusted. John identified problems that I knew of and some problems he showed me that I had not known (coverage in flower garden - which I later found my wife had previously noticed the problem). I have been very happy with the service and plan to use Shades of Green in the future for some backyard landscaping.

It went very well. When they were finished, he gave me a complete rundown about all the sprinkler heads, the ones that would eventually give me a problem. He looked at my control panel and offered to give me an estimate for an upgraded one. No pressure. I told him that I was comfortable with the one that I had and that answer was accepted with no pressure. It was a pleasant service call.

I had purchased this special because I wanted the plan. What I got was a photo of my house with a CAD drawing of the proposed bed, which was nothing like the design we had decided on. So, trying to get a good deal on a garden plan, I ended u!p with nothing!

I made appointment for Saturday (work out of state). Said he would be here at 0900 and arrived at 0850! Tuned up 16 zone system, including fixing programmed times and checking/adjusting all heads. I would definitely use their services again.

Great service and very helpful. Didn't try to upsell the whole time and were very honest with feedback. I highly recommend!

Very nice gentleman came out and talked with us about what we were looking for and the stages we wanted to take our landscape project in. He then went back and designed the project and sent us photos and estimates on each part of the plan.

It went good. I liked that they got here when they said they would, got it done, did not make a mess and left everything as they were suppose to. I did not dislike anything.

Work to be completed soon. I appreciate how helpful provider has been.

It went great. They came in when they said they would, and cleaned the pond in no time at all. We used them last year, and liked them, knew what kind of work they did and choose them again for this year. I gave them a "B" for responsiveness since it took them quite a while to get the job done, but it really wasn't their fault. The bad weather and rain put them way behind, because they had to clean some of ponds again that they had already done.

.It turned out not as expected. He said he's been really busy and said to give him 5 days. He did send it a couple of days after that but we have a large garden, a dirt area in our front yard but decided that we wanted to have plants in so I told him we didn't want any lawn there. What he did was he just kind of disregarded what I said but half of it was a lawn, a couple of shrubs and the design that he had consisted of 10 1-gallon flowering shrubs and a couple of other shrubs. The sidewalk that we talked about having to come from the main front sidewalk and going around the house was not at all that we had talked about. He had just pavers all the way around. The beds were a little bit higher, I thought. I only wanted to do part of it because we wanted our backyard leveled and he said that would take about 60 yards of dirt and estimated that out to be $600. I e-mailed him and said that that's all we'll do right now and tried to put him down to a date and he said that because of the weather, he probably wouldn't get to us until this week and I have yet to hear from him. So I'm not real thrilled and I'll be surprised if I hear from him at all. There's no consultation or anything, he did what he was supposed to do, it's just not what we had discussed. I told him I didn't want lawn in the front area and he filled half of it with lawn then put a couple of plants in there. The sidewalk was not what we had discussed and it was totally different. I would not recommend him to anybody else.
