Jennifer made all our landscape dreams come true! We had completed the house remodel and were ready for a thorough makeover of our front yard. We had some ideas for some zoning and an overall feel but no clue how to make it all come together. After a couple of other bids I called Jennifer. She came, along with her head installer, Enrique, and walked the grounds listening to my rough outline of what we would like. I was inspired by her feedback and ideas and loved that she's a Master Gardener. She's an encyclopedia of horticulture and has a wonderful eye for balance and style. ln no time we had signed a contract and were on our way. Working with her was a pleasure. She understood our desire to have a "Monterey" feel and ran many plant suggestions by us before providing a sketch. As plans moved along she provided great referrals for the electrical and hardscape work we needed. With her guidance we incorporated some unique plants that truly bring me joy every day! Our completed landscape is now 9 months old and has established beautifully! Plants are growing incredibly and we are in love with the grid they installed below the sod to stop our recurring gopher problem. We had instant rapport with Jennifer and Enrique and have complete confidence in their professional skills. The results speak for themselves!

My wife and I recently chose Joel to complete a long overdue landscaping project for our front and…read moreback yard and we are beyond happy with the result. Our project consisted of pouring 2 concrete slabs (1 along the side of the house and a second in the backyard), planting a boarder trim, and installing sprinkler systems in our back and front yard. Joel and crew completed all parts of this project with attention to detail and communicated effectively throughout. First and foremost, I have to give a huge shout out to the team lead managing the concrete part of our project. His attention to detail in recommending ideal drain setups in the sections where water had pooled in the past are exactly why we went Joel - we want to do things right the first time. After chatting with Joel, we installed the recommended drains, preventing a potentially expensive fix down the road. The rest of the project was completed with professionalism and Joel was great in communicating and working with our needs. Our one constructive feedback is that we did not receive a mock-up of the project before work was underway. We had a few last minute changes (the width of the trim around the backyard and the size of the mulch area in the front yard), but Joel & team communicated effectively and worked with us to make sure our needs were taken care of. All in all, we are so happy with our completed project. The level of professionalism, attention to detail, and our new back/front yard makes us confident that we made the correct choice in choosing Joel for our project. Thank you!

BRING ON THE SUPER EL NINO!…read more Joel and Sons recently completed a much overdue project at our home. For years, our outside drains were clogged, and I found myself setting up pumps during the storms to get the pools of water away from our home. Every year, I would tell myself that I would get the drains cleared. Before the rains came this past winter, I hired a company to hydro jet the pipes. They tried to clear the drains, but because they were so clogged, their equipment failed. Again, I was setting up the pumps during the rain storm. So, I researched and found Joel and Sons. I met Joel and he examined our front/back yards. He gave an excellent and fair estimate that would fix the drainage problems. Throughought the entire project, Joel sent videos of the work being performed. He and the crew went above and beyond to make sure we wouldn't have any future issues. I am so impressed by Joel and Sons, and I will call them again for future projects. More importantly, I will make referrals to my family and friends.

We recently had a complete sprinkler system installed in our front yard, and it is working great!…read moreWe needed three zones: one for the Kurapia, one for our king palm, and one for the backyard. Dr. Sprinkler handled everything from the sprinklers and drip line for the palm to the valves and controller. Logan was our lead person, and he and his team did a great job. Our Kurapia and king palm are looking great, and when we're ready, we'll have them complete the third zone in the backyard. Dr. Sprinkler did quality work at a great price. I would definitely hire them again and highly recommend them.

Disappointing Experience and Unwillingness to Stand Behind Their Work…read more Dr. Sprinkler doesn't even deserve 1 star. $9,200 Later, My planter Is a swamp, and Dr. Sprinkler refuses to take responsibility. I hired Dr. Sprinkler to completely redo my backyard, including removing the existing turf and road base, preparing the yard, grading it, and installing new sod. The project cost approximately $9,200. Unfortunately, what I got was a backyard with serious drainage problems that have existed since the work was completed. Bushes and flowers were planted in the planters, and almost immediately I noticed one of the bushes dying. When I dug it out to investigate, I discovered what can only be described as a swamp. The soil was saturated with standing water. I contacted Dr. Sprinkler multiple times, hoping they would come out, investigate the problem, and make things right. Instead, their explanation has consistently been that the problem is due to dense clay soil, insufficient drainage, and overwatering. Let's talk about this overwatering issue. During a heat wave, when the grass was starting to brown, I increased the sprinkler schedule from 4 minutes to 6 minutes. Apparently, according to Dr. Sprinkler, that's enough to blame the homeowner for the drainage problems. The implication is that if I don't water my lawn, or if it never rains, I wouldn't have a problem. That's not a solution. That's an excuse. After getting nowhere with Dr. Sprinkler, I had multiple independent landscaping contractors inspect the yard. The feedback was consistent: the grading and soil preparation needed to be corrected. One contractor provided an estimate of $7,308 to remove the existing lawn, excavate 4-6 inches, bring in appropriate topsoil, properly regrade the yard, and install new sod. My understanding from these inspections is that the original soil preparation was inadequate. Rather than properly preparing the yard with suitable soil and grading, the existing road base appears to have been left underneath the new sod, leaving the water with nowhere to properly drain or be absorbed. What makes this experience even worse is how Dr. Sprinkler has handled the situation. I provided photos, explained the problems, shared an independent contractor's estimate, and went through multiple emails and visits with Dr. Sprinkler. I gave them every opportunity to investigate and come up with a reasonable solution. Their response? Deny responsibility and blame the soil, the weather, and my watering schedule. I paid $9,200 for a professionally redone backyard. I shouldn't have to spend another $7,308 to fix the work I already paid someone else to do. Landscaping projects can have challenges. I understand that. But when a contractor takes thousands of dollars to redo a yard, I expect the grading and soil preparation to be done properly. And when problems arise, I expect them to stand behind their work rather than spend months making excuses and pointing fingers at the customer. I have now filed a complaint with the California Contractors State License Board. If you're considering hiring Dr. Sprinkler, I strongly recommend getting every detail of the grading, soil preparation, excavation, and drainage work spelled out in writing. Don't assume that paying for a backyard renovation means those things will actually be done properly. Based on my experience, I would absolutely not hire Dr. Sprinkler again, and I cannot recommend them to anyone.
