Chris, owner The Yard Assistant, is absolutely wonderful. He did a great job converting my…read moresprinkler system to a drip irrigation system, and I couldn't be happier. He even returned to my home early one morning to check to make sure everything was working to my liking right before I left on a trip. I left confident that all my plant babies would be fine, and I returned to a happy sight with my flowers and vegetable garden blooming and growing beautifully. Chris is the best -- he's reliable, his work is extremely well priced, and he stands behind his work. His crew is great as well. I would definitely recommend him and will use him for other garden projects in the future.

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.

I met representatives from Bay Area Sprinkler at least twice. I have a landscaping project and got…read morea quote very early. I was contacted to a second meeting to verify some things that were not clear from my diagram. The second meeting, the rep was about 30 minutes, late it seemed because of a mix up in scheduling. He apologized for it, and we went on about the walk-through. He had good solutions for my problems that were consistent with what other contractors had already told me. We ultimately decided with another contractor because of a difference in price of about 2-5%. If you have a landscape or irrigation project or issue, I would recommend meeting with them.

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.

We had a great experience working with Anthony and All Around the Garden Landscaping. He helped…read moretransform our side yard with a mix of flagstone, DG, and new grass, and the results came out exactly how we hoped. Anthony extended our lawn, added irrigation, and tied everything together cleanly with flagstone and DG. He was especially thoughtful about how the space would be used, including a kid-friendly area with bark and a clear flow between grass, flagstone, and walkways. He also built a simple, solid enclosure for our trash cans that immediately made the yard feel more finished and intentional. What really stood out was how easy he was to work with. He came back multiple times to make sprinkler adjustments without any pushback, just to make sure everything was working properly. That kind of follow-through matters. Great price, quick turnaround, quality work, and zero hassle. Anthony is responsive, practical, and clearly takes pride in what he does. We'd absolutely work with him again and would recommend All Around the Garden Landscaping without hesitation!

Anthony was quick to respond and schedule a walkthrough to discuss our ideas. He helped us develop a plan, recommended materials that would work best, and provided honest advice about which plants would and wouldn't thrive based on what we wanted. Their pricing was fair compared to other companies, and the project was completed on time. They even followed up a couple of weeks later to make sure everything was still looking great. We're very happy with how our backyard turned out and would absolutely recommend Anthony and All Around the Garden to anyone looking for reliable and fairly priced landscaping services.

The sprinkler control panel did bot shut down the faulty sprinkler, so its likely a mechanical issue with the control valves in the backyard that failed open. I have no idea how to DIY this so I was lucky to find Ostwald. Yep, they are a 24/7 company and were able to comr out same day in a few hours. Darvin and his helper replaced my entire sprinkler control valve system, faulty sprinkler heads, and did some excavation to fix some leaky pipes. About 3 hours total - not a straightforward job since it also involved wiring and some backyard plumbing. I have an older house so they actually had to shutoff water to the house for a few hours. Not sure why the sprinkler system does not have a separate isolation valve. Maybe it does but its not obvious. Definitely recommend Ostwald Sprinkler Repair for quick turnarounds and responsive service, even on Sundays when most other sprinkler repair companies are closed.
