A few days later, he and his team came out to do the work: a bad valve in a tight junction box, a leaking irrigation main and a new lawn sprinkler for a section of lawn that wasn't getting enough water. All three repairs went smoothly and are now working well. They did a great job cleaning up afterwards too - hard to tell they were even here. Thanks guys!!

We hired them to install additional sprinklers in areas of our yard that weren't getting adequate…read morecoverage, and also to diagnose why certain areas were experiencing very low water pressure. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the service. The job felt rushed, and they were reluctant to add sprinklers in some of the areas where we specifically pointed out inadequate coverage. More importantly, they never really diagnosed or addressed the low-pressure issue, which was one of the main reasons we called them in the first place. Overall, we expected a more thorough assessment and a solution that addressed both the coverage and pressure issues especially for the price they charged.

I had Sherman come out to give me a quote on fixing my ageing / malfunctioning DIY Orbit system. He…read morefound a few things wrong with it (valve stuck in off position, etc) but ultimately we realized it was beyond repair due to its age. He didn't charge me for his time, but did give me a quote to install a professional system as well as expand coverage to the entire back yard. His quote was reasonable / competitive, and I was lucky to get quickly scheduled. He and his crew came out and in a couple days were able to install a brand new Hunter system with sprayers and multiple drip lines. Despite having to trench through my yard, when they were done it looked as good as new. They took special care around existing landscaping and did not damage anything during the installation process. It's been a few months now, and the system is working great. Grass is green and plants are blooming. Sherman is easy to work with and super responsive. I'm extremely happy with the outcome and I'm sure you will be too.

McKay Irrigation Systems gets a very high rating on Yelp (and also from some of my neighbors) for a…read morereason: they do great work. Sherman McKay runs the show, and he runs it well. He's great with communication, and his estimate was right on point. I had some drainage work done at my house which trashed my entire irrigation system, so I needed to have it replaced, both in the front and back yard. The McKay crew did a bang up job of it. They came in on time and on budget. They had the whole system laid out and running within about two days. Then Sherman spent some time with me to make sure I knew how to operate the controllers. In fact, they do more than irrigation, and I will likely have them come back and put in some new plants and do some other work in my backyard. They did such a good job with the irrigation system that I have high confidence they will make quick work of the other jobs too. I strongly recommend them.

After a number of lackluster experiences with TaskRabbit (getting ghosted mid-conversation, having…read moreconfirmed Taskers not show up, having Taskers provide inefficient service), my husband and I decided to start a gardening project on Yelp in order to request quotes for our front and back yard. Isai responded within the hour with an offer to drop by for a free consultation and his contact information. We were able to schedule something for the next day which had to get pushed back another day, but throughout it all, Isai was very communicative and punctual. I received a number of quotes within three days from my Yelp request and Isai was the most reasonable by far. We were able to book a day and time that worked for us the week after. Before our appointment, Isai reached out with at least six different photos of options for ground cover and I appreciated being included in this process even though I don't have extensive knowledge of landscaping or gardening at all. The day of, Isai and his team came in the morning and within just a few hours, completely transformed our front and back yard. They worked quickly and methodically to uproot all of the weeds from the front rock garden and in between the concrete; shaped various shrubbery and trees; weed all of the planters in the back yard, lay down landscaping fabric, and also the mulch; and, sweep up various leaves and fallen fruit. Payment was easy through Zelle and as he left, he notified us that the yard waste would be a little heavy because the weeds were wet. He also asked if we had pets (we don't). He indicated that weeding the front yard was difficult and that a little Round Up at the first inkling of weeds would go a long way in keeping them at bay. We are truly impressed by Isai and his team and very thankful. I would not hesitate to recommend them and to request their services again.

TL;DR --- Work quality = 5; Cost\Value = 2; Availability = 3…read more Started using Bay Area Sprinkler back when the original owner still had the company. They were always booked - which is a good sign - but that meant it was challenging to get them on the schedule. But when available, they did great work at reasonable rates. Eventually, the company was sold and the new owner changed the business model a bit. The initial bids were the same - basically truck roll fee + labor with materials to be billed after job completion. The big difference was they no longer provided itemized material costing and the materials markup was much higher than other irrigation vendors we've used. In addition, this change was not noticed before the job was completed and they refused to itemize despite multiple requests. Again, they've always done great work for us and if not concerned with paying a significant markup for materials, then possibly a good fit for you.

Outstanding Landscaping Service! -- Highly Recommend Fernando's Gardening Services!…read more I couldn't be happier with the work Fernando's Gardening Services did on my front and back yards! From the very beginning, this company was professional, reliable, and committed to doing an excellent job. If you're looking for high-quality landscaping, fair and competitive pricing, and someone who truly cares about the results, I highly recommend Fernando and his team! I had quite an extensive project that involved redoing both my front and back gardens, removing cactus, updating an old sprinkler system and converting it to irrigation, along with several other improvements. There was a lot of work to be done, but Fernando handled everything efficiently and thoroughly. He made sure all the work outlined in the quote was completed, and the results exceeded my expectations. One of the things I appreciated most was Fernando's hands-on approach and attention to detail. He stayed on top of the entire project, making sure everything was progressing as planned and that the work was done properly. He was punctual, worked efficiently, and maintained excellent communication throughout the process. Fernando also went above and beyond by taking the time to explain the new irrigation system to me. He genuinely cared about making sure I understood how everything worked and that I was happy with the outcome. That extra effort made a real difference and showed me that he takes pride in his work and values his customers. The pricing was reasonable and competitive, especially considering the amount of work involved and the quality of the finished product. My front and back yards look ten times better than before! The transformation is wonderful, and I'm so pleased with the results. Thank you so much, Fernando and team , for all your hard work and for doing such a fantastic job! I truly appreciate your professionalism, dedication, and commitment to making sure everything was done right. If you're looking for a dependable, knowledgeable, and skilled landscaping professional, look no further than Fernando's Gardening Services. I highly recommend them and would gladly work with Fernando again! Thank you, Fernando and team, for a job exceptionally well done!

Our problem: We have an irrigation system with 9 valves mapping to 9 different zones on the…read moremicrocontroller. Zones 1-4 stopped working suddenly. Also our Zone 9 was disconnected and we had a separate "workaround wire" for Zone 9 which we never liked because it was a visible extraneous wire glommed on as a hack/workaround. Quote: Ramon came to our place and gave us an honest quote. No blanket solutions like "replace all the wiring", "replace all valves", "replace the controller", etc. Ramon has a device that can trace the electrical wires (from the controller to the valve) and locate the disconnect. No digging up of wires involved. Solution: Ramon showed up punctually for the appointment and found the disconnect. The previous crew had spliced bunch of wires which was susceptible to disconnection. Ramon put in the proper connectors and gave us a 5-year warranty on his work. Now all the zones are working nicely and no superfluous/extraneous wires. Ramon also replaced some sprinkler heads and drip outlets that seemed broken. Solid work and great value. Master Tech Irrigation is likely the most honest and capable crew in the Bay Area at this point.

We had two different plumbers come out, but neither could figure out where the issue was coming from. EBMUD gave us access to monitor our water usage online, and once we started tracking it, the numbers seemed to be getting worse... definitely not what you want to see. At that point, both plumbers recommended bringing in a leak detection specialist. We were pretty stressed, thinking this could turn into a major (and expensive) problem, so we started calling around trying to find someone reputable who could come out quickly. Steve from Water Shield Leak Detection was able to come out that same afternoon, which was a huge relief. He was thorough, ran multiple tests, and took the time to explain everything in a way that actually made sense. More importantly, he was confident that we weren't dealing with a major issue like we originally feared. He gave us a few things to monitor and try on our end, and even offered to come back and do additional testing to confirm everything at no extra charge. That kind of follow-through is rare. We were incredibly grateful he could come out on such short notice and, honestly, just put our minds at ease. Highly recommend if you're dealing with anything similar.

My husband suspected that our sprinklers stopped working. I thought... "Oh no! Not another problem…read morewith this house!" My strategy was to avoid the problem, but he tested it and, sure enough, no sprinkling :( I contacted several local companies and these were the quotes I obtained: - Company 1: $2900 to replace all 10 valves. This might not fix everything and then we might need to replace the electrical components ($1500 additional) - Company 2: $1500 for a new controller and installation, but only recommend 1 type (with a cumbersome looking app) - Latham: $200 (2-hour minimum site visit) to install new controller and can use any extra time to address other issues. We were able to research controllers and bought one we liked (~$200) that had great reviews and an amazing app. Trevor was reliable, showing up on time for the quote and later for the work. After I initially left a voicemail, he responded within 2 business days, then we corresponded by text. Clear communication by text (though sometimes there is a 1-2 day delay). He is usually booked 2 weeks in advance, but worth the wait! On the day of the installation, Trevor was even able to stay an extra hour and fixed a zone that never worked for us AND he replaced some sprinkler heads that were old and not working well. He even let my husband tag along to learn. So total he charged us $325 ($100 for the extra hour, $25 for sprinkler heads). My husband was so happy that he rounded it up to $400! Trevor really saved our butt on this stressor. I thought earlier with the first astronomical quote that we would just have to live with a dead yard. He is our sprinkler guy now and we highly recommend him!

What won me over with Turf World was: 1. Jason's transparency about the process with sending me his You Tube videos (the job went exactly as promised); 2.

After researching this for 2 months, I went with Turf World and I am thrilled with the result. My advice? Go around and look at installations. Watch videos. I did and after a ton of consideration I went with Turf Word and I am a 100% happy and satisfied customer, And I'm not an easy target. PS remember as you are comparing the turf samples that soft turf flops easier. So it might feel nice, but when it falls flat and looks like a mini golf course after a month you are not going to be happy If you are wanting it to look like an actual lawn, like I did!)
