We hired Mike Ball's company to clear out a badly overgrown and waterlogged part of our yard, to install a stone patio, improve the drainage, and create flower beds. They did a fantastic job! Mike really knows his stuff, giving us good ideas about design and landscaping. They also worked quickly but thoroughly, were very reliable, cleaned up thoroughly after themselves, and were priced very reasonably. Very happy customers; we'll definitely be back!

Tried to reach my usual guy and a few others with no luck. I was lucky and just happened to reach Mike on the phone. While his crews were busy in other parts of the city, Mike personally stopped by within 20 minutes of the call and located the buried water supply value to the whole sprinkler system (that no one knew anything about!) and shut it off, so we could get turn the house supply water back on and take our showers. He is sending his crew within the next 24 hours to replace the leaking PVC pipe supplying the sprinkler system. I was extremely impressed by Mike's customer orientation and willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty to get me up and running! The rates he quoted me for the final repair a fair and reasonable. Mike accepted no payment at this time and was just happy to allow our life to get back to normal. Great responsiveness!
Description of Work: Had a sprinkler PVC pipe burst in this unusual 20F weather in Houston and needed a fix. Water was spraying all over the place and I had to shut off the water at the curb to stop it!

We expected to see him in about 4 weeks. He called notifying us of a break in his schedule. One of his crews came out the next week and completed the work in two days. His crew was exceptionally conscientious, very careful and considerate and we could not be more pleased with their work product.
Description of Work: We live in a patio home with a narrow, shaded pathway from the front yard the back. Mike presented us with possible approaches to resolving the access issues while also doing some landscaping to enhance the visual aspect. I was pleasantly surprised with the price he quoted, and asked him to go ahead and schedule the work.

He was slow to get here from time of estimate but did finally contact me & got to work right away. The 3 workers cam with him & physically dug the trenches for the piping. Mike did stay here most of the time. The workers came back on Saturday & finished & Mike came to explain the control box to me. I guess & could refer him to most applicants.
Description of Work: Installed an irrigation system + put out weed killer for me.

After 11 years at my current residence I finally got tired of dragging water hoses around and wasting water. I finally decided to pull the trigger on a sprinkler system. Mike came out a month or two ahead of time to survey my front and back yards. He then created drawings of the proposed system with the locations of sprinkler heads. He even took in to account future plans for our gardens in his designs. When he came back by with the designs he went over all options and costs with me ahead of time until we had it setup they way I wanted it and within my budget. His crew showed up on time on the install date and they all worked very hard. I was amazed how quickly they dug the trenches. Now is a good time to mention something I was most impressed with. They took very special care of the grass above the trench and set it aside so that they could patch when done. Most system installs I have seen in my neighbor's yards you could easily see the dirt trails where the trenches were dug. On my yard, when Mike's team was done, you could barely tell anything was done to my yard. After the install was complete Mike trained my wife and I on how to use the system. He demonstrated and reviewed each zone with us. He even took the time to explain how to protect the system when it freezes out. I plan to have Mike and team back out soon to do some work on my landscaping.
Description of Work: Installed a 5 zone sprinkler system with water conserving heads.
