It's a basic system with just one controller and 5 valves. Despite this I agreed because of the reviews here and because it would be for the following day at 1 pm. The day of our appointment a couple hours prior, Alex texted me asking if he could come earlier than scheduled. I told him that I wasn't able to make it then, and he responded that it was fine and he would see me at 1. I drove 30 minutes to meet Alex at our agreed upon time, and waited 15 minutes waiting for him to show up. He didn't, so I texted him again to see what his eta was. He then informed he wasn't coming, and had an emergency to take care of. Given the prior conversation with him, I'm not entirely convinced of this "emergency ", especially because he still offered to come in the morning the following day. Had he called me when he knew he wouldn't be able to make it, I might be more forgiving, but he wasted my time.

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.

Sherman is awesome! We were having an issue with our irrigation control system that resulted in a…read morereally high water bill (spoiler alert--it was my fault, I set it incorrectly). Sherman came over for a quick site visit, adjusted the control for me free of charge and he also took a quick look at our overall system which he thought was running pretty well overall.

Highly recommend based on my positive interaction, Sherman's vast knowledge and just generally great overall customer service.

As you will see each time we wanted to do more work, George wrote up a change order so we could agree on exactly what the costs would be. This is a local family-run business which as been in business for over 25 years. I can not recommend them highly enough. George by now feels like one of the family. He and his team are friendly, helpful, very careful craftsmen, and just great to work with. If you ask for something that doesn't make sense, George just flat out tells you. We started out just wanted a garden path and steps built. That turned out so well and they we so easy to work with that we started asking about other projects that we had always dreamed of. We ended up building two stone walls in our garden that will now allow us to plant where a steep ivy hillside had been before. We had a lot of hillside water seepage so the guys proposed and dug a drainage area and covered with beautify Mexican grey pebble. So now we have a rock river which looks really nice.

I've gotten lower bids in the past, but the paperwork that Jan put together for us was so detailed, we really felt like we knew what we were getting in to. Over the project we made a few changes, and George was always prompt with change orders, and explaining exactly what the differences would be. We are so happy with our new backyard!

I moved into my current home in 2022 - it had an existing irrigation system but I quickly realized…read morethat it was not in a usable state and for the first summer of living in my home spent hours a week watering plants and grass using a nose. In 2023 I vowed to myself that I would have a functioning irrigation system by the end of the rainy season/start of summer. I reached out and started getting quotes - one of them was from Green Sunsets (Daniel). He was prompt when he came by for the quote and it was clear that he had extensive knowledge of planning and setting up irrigation systems. He ended up quoting me for a). a new system vs. b). going in and troubleshooting the existing system which I appreciated. His quote was reasonable and he was patient and thorough with me when I had a few followup questions - I ended up moving forward with Daniel to do the work. He was able to get me on his calendar pretty quickly and the whole job ended up taking about 3-4 days. Daniel had a team of workers to help him - his team was hard working and I appreciate that Daniel was also present for all of the days and directly checked the new system as it was installed to verify that everyting was set up correctly. In addition to the irrigation work, my yard was also very overgrown - Daniel and his team also did great work for me at the same time in removing a broken trellis, removing pesky vines, and pulling out a bunch of overgrown plants and bushes. Fast forward one year to spring 2024. After the rainy season ended (and irrigation system needed to be used) I noticed that there were a few breaks/leaks in the tubing/lines. I reached out to Daniel to ask about and he came by to my home. My initial thought was that either thirsty squirrels or our gardener had broken a few of the lines. Daniel assessed and came to the same conclusion, but since it was a fairly small task offered to help fix at no charge (even though the leaks were caused by our gardener). Daniel's work left me as a very happy customer and I am happy to recommend Green Sunsets.

He is very passionate and knowlegeable about plants and trees and I loved his vision for our garden. I guess you can say he is more of a horticultural artist! WE LOVE to see our front yard whenever we get home....I'd say it is the best part of my day. Besides the installation of the garden he also offers ongoing maintenance at a very reasonable price. Beall stuck with the estimate he originally gave us and for all the work he and his team did we got ALOT more than we paid for!! I will recommend him to everyone we know and look forward to working with him on our massive backyard!!

This is an enthusiastic recommendation for Beall King of King's Gardens. My husband and I first…read morehired Beall a few years ago to replace our front lawn and sprinklers with a low maintenance garden and drip irrigation system. We selected Beall after meeting with a handful of landscape contractors because he was the most interested in understanding what we wanted (other contractors simply told us what they would do) and had the most transparent and fair pricing (Beall gave us a detailed estimate, whereas other contractors failed to provide any estimate or said they could provide an estimates only AFTER we paid for a design consultation). Beall really impressed us on that project. Even though my husband and I had a strong idea of what we wanted, we had a hard time explaining it because we did not know anything about plants or gardening. Beall was very patient and generous with his time. He met with us at a nursery early in the morning to pick plants so that my husband and I wouldn't have to take time off work. He also provided sketches of his proposed designs to make sure we were all on the same page (he is not just a landscape contractor but also a great designer). Beall's efforts paid off, and we were very happy with the finished product. In fact, we were so happy that we started budgeting to have Beall work on our back yard, which he did this year. During the consultations for the second project, Beall surprised us by pulling out notes he had taken when working on our first project. We saved a lot of time because Beall had written down what plants we did and did not like. The second project was very labor intensive because it included the removal of many stones and the installation of massive granite steps. Beall and his hardworking crew completed this work in amazingly fast time. To save money on hauling away the old dirt and stones that were excavated, we asked Beall to dump them on a hidden part of our property that is not landscaped. Most other contractors would have done this haphazardly, but not Beall. He and his crew spread and compacted the dirt to create a level surface and then used the stones to define a walkway, turning a literal dumping ground to useable space. His thoughtful approach added minimal time to the job but added a lot of value to our property. Of the nearly dozen contractors we have hired in the last several years, Beall has been our favorite to work with. He is very knowledgeable about his field, hardworking, and customer service oriented. We highly recommend him for any landscaping job.
