We had a sprinkler bust next to our house and we called around to a few businesses and Jonakee was…read moreone of the only responsive ones and quick to come out. They quoted us $450 for the repair, which entailed cutting off our sprinkler where it was rusted galvanized steel and replacing it with PVC pipe. This in turn ended up re routing our system, rending a large chunk of our sprinkler system useless, due to the steel not being able to be connected to the original system unless we wanted to pay for more repairs. We were quoted around the same (around $500) to connect our sprinkler system again so it would work, on top of the original repair, in which we did not move forward. At first, I was fine with a quote of $450 assuming it was going to be a complicated repair with fancy parts but when I saw the work that was done, it changed my mind. Total labor time was maybe 30 minutes and it was simply digging up where the sprinkler was broken and rerouting the pipe with about $15 worth of PVC and that was it. The gentlemen who came out were kind and helpful so I don't like to leave bad reviews however I feel like we were totally ripped off and charged way more than appropriate to the point where I feel extremely silly I didn't call around to other places and feel like we got played. And now we have a system that does not work. I would highly suggest you call around before going with these guys.

Alex and his team installed a stone patio in my backyard, and the entire process--from planning to…read morecompletion--was outstanding. They have a high level of expertise, they carefully attended to the details of laying the stone and leveling the ground, and worked hard (in hot weather) each day.

He sent me a message midway through Friday that they were running late and he would like to reschedule for Monday. I agreed to it. I understand things come up and I did appreciate the heads up.

Would definitely not recommend them based on my personal experience, but YMMV.

They were incredibly patient with us throughout the process, especially as we worked through different ideas and made changes along the way.

We are so happy with the finished yard and how everything came together. It was a big project, and the end result is exactly what we were hoping for. They even handle ongoing maintenance. We would definitely recommend them!

While our plants were dying because the sprinklers didn't reach or because of the pests (cotton scale?) or biological disease, they maintained them while watching them die. In probably 8-10 years they never added mulch or thatched our lawn. New plants added were full of scale, aphids, you name it many died. Look at the plant maintenance at CVS shopping center 1888 Pacific Coast Highway, you'll see their ongoing quality of care. Check plants added for landscaping. Bougainvillea where a low small spreading plant should be used. Probably 20x. Unbelievable!

After our initial meeting he came up with a design that was exactly what we were looking for (especially in incorporating our dogs' needs for the yard). He and his crew transformed our dead-grass backyard into an elegant, stylish and drought friendly space in which to hang out. He designed a layout of a wide variety of drought resistant, low maintenance plants, and added durable ground coverings that our dogs love. His crew arrived early every morning and worked all day (something we've found to be really rare with any contractors). From design to completion, Nick and his crew were efficient and easy to work with. Along the way, we requested a few changes and they were incorporated immediately and with no hassle. I highly recommend Urban Organics Design to transition your landscape.
