    Before

    First off, I work for a large commercial construction company in the Bay Area. I have extensive experience working with all sorts of contractors and the last thing that I want to do when I get home from work is worry about any additional construction. Working with Andy, I had no worries when I came home. If there is one word that sums up my experience with Larson Landscaping it would be 'transparency.' Our backyard had not been touched in about 20 years and showed it (see pictures). Andy, worked with our initial design concepts which would match our modern style, and elaborated, tying the design aesthetic with our recently remodeled home. The outcome was better than expected and allowed us to enjoy our backyard as an extension of our home. Working in construction, there are 3 things that contractors are judged on: Budget, Schedule, and Quality. On each of these, Andy gets 5 starts. Budget: After discussing our project budget with Andy, he came up with a design which was on budget. Each of the different areas of scope (ie demolition, concrete, planting, irrigation, etc) were broken out into their individual costs and tracked. At the completion of each of the scope items, Andy would bill for the work. During the project, If I made any changes along the way, he would immediately send me a cost change for the work. If I decreased scope, he credited back the amount based upon the cost tracking, and likewise, when I increased scope. I NEVER had any questions regarding what my final project budget was tracking towards, which is why he gets 5 stars. Schedule: A problem that many contractors have is not being able to properly manage clients expectations and promising too much. They then under deliver and thus client satisfaction drops. THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH ANDY. From the start of the project, he was honest and direct about how long the project was going to take. We really wanted our project to be completed prior to the arrival of our second child and while Andy said he would TRY to make it happen, he didn't blindly say "Yes." In the end, due to Andy's crews efficiency and our ability to make decision quickly, the project was completed prior to our new baby. For Andy's transparency regarding schedule and then his effort to bring the project completion in sooner, Larson Landscaping gets 5 stars. *Quick side note on schedule: If you are willing to make decisions quickly regarding selection of materials, you can greatly help your project schedule. Delays in decision making or going back and changing your mind cause a project to loose momentum, and thus add time to a project. Quality: Much of a projects quality comes from the construction of items that are not seen once the final planting has occurred. Items such as drainage, soil compaction/base rock/rebar placement for concrete and irrigation greatly impact the way a project looks during the subsequent years and not just on day 1. With my commercial construction background, it was easy to see that Andy builds his projects to a "commercial" standard. This means that he follows the best construction practices from start to finish. There is nothing worse than having concrete installed and then within a couple of months, you see large cracks forming. Due to the work the Andy does BEFORE he pours the concrete, our project looks brand new, even after 6 months. Again, 5 stars for Andy's building quality from start to finish. In closing, if you are looking for a contractor who plans accurately, has good communication, transparency regarding costs, and builds a quality project, Larson Landscape is the contractor for you.

    Andy Larson is a true landscape professional. We recently engaged Larson Landscape on a landscape design and construction job to completely renovate our front and back yard. We are thrilled with the results! We highly recommend Andy to anyone searching for a turnkey landscape service with a hands-on professional that is knowledgeable, hard working and capable of transforming your landscape on budget and on time. The Job In the back yard we created five (5) distinct zones that were seamlessly integrated: Outdoor kitchen with natural stone bar, porcelain tile countertops, stainless steel appliances, cedar arbor and 60" TV, natural stone fire pit, dining area, game area and dog run. New irrigation, gas, electrical, lighting and climate appropriate vegetation were also added. In the front yard, we replaced the driveway, boulevard, walkway and lawn as well as expanded the front porch. New irrigation, lighting and climate appropriate vegetation were also added. High Quality Materials and Craftsmanship Larson Landscape is a professional outfit that selects materials to meet the customer's expectations and works tirelessly to create a lasting end product. This was really apparent when we built the outdoor kitchen. They stretched the boundaries of stone and tile to deliver a beautiful, curved bar area. On Budget and On Time A diligent budgeting and planning process helped create mutual accountability to get the job done on budget and on time. As with any construction job, there were many decisions to make and Andy supported each one with sound reasoning to consider with tradeoffs between form, function and price. Each surprise we encountered was dealt with together from a reasonable perspective. Effective Communicator Andy's approach to planning combined with his expertise and commitment to customer satisfaction enabled a really productive dialog during the entire process. He is constantly on the job so he is familiar with the details of the project. As things came up, we dealt with them logically and professionally. He is not a yes man, which we really appreciated because it forced us to make the right choices. Skilled Crew The Larson Landscape crew is awesome! They share Andy's values and they work really, really hard. It's never easy to live through a construction job of this magnitude but his crew went above and beyond to respect our privacy, to efficiently manage the job site and to create beautiful work. Call Larson Landscape! This renovation greatly enhanced the curb appeal of our house and completely changed how we entertain family and friends. We regularly enjoy the backyard as a true extension of our home. We love it! If you want to hire a professional landscape construction company that will work tirelessly to transform your outdoor living space then call Andy Larson.

    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. I'm so appreciative of his help and him sharing his knowledge with me. When we upgrade our irrigation control system this summer, I'll definitely go with Mckay Irrigation. Highly recommend based on my positive interaction, Sherman's vast knowledge and just generally great overall customer service.

I was surprised my call was answered & thrilled that Gerado said he would be in my area in an hour or so & could take a look. When he arrived he gave me a quote & said he could repair it now. Everything was in good repair & done at a very reasonable price. A week later late in the evening I noticed another section had begun showing some seeping at the popup heads & figured to check it in the morning. Next morning to my surprise I received a text from the water co that my smart meter had alerted them to a continuous flow. I went right to work & saw I had a valve problem. I thought I could handle the repair on my own following some you tube advice, I replaced the top of the valve body. Long story short I was unsuccessful & couldn't stop the ebb. I called Gerado who determined possibly because my original valve was over 16 years old there could be some minor variance to the molding process or I purchased a defective valve. We agreed to replace the entire valve assembly. Gerado who returned again on Sunday with a new valve installed the valve in short order. Immediately all was back to good working order. I cant say enough about the great service I received from Dicks & master technician Gerado. Don't hesitate to call them for your irrigation system needs you wont be disappointed.

Jeremey came and did the test and right away, he was able to identify the leak. So we spent $2500 open up the concrete and replaced the skimmer. It took about 2 days. And he has someone else over to do the repair. Then he came back to retest it seems supposed was cleared. However, I noticed the water level dropped unusually fast so I know something is wrong and asked him to come check again. His policy was retest will be charged $150 instead of new test of $550. Anyway, he suspected another leaks on the return which will cost another $1000-2000 to open up to determine where the leaks were. I was concerned, because I didn't want to open up and turned out it may be somewhere else. He then did a dye test and was able to identify the leak and plugged it instead of open up and replace the leaks. Which worked and saved me $1500. Looking back, the original leak could be at the return. If he used dye test on all the return, we may have identify that leak and save a lot of money. Anyway, leak was fixed and he ended up didn't change me for the retest and plugging the leak. So that was nice.
