Today is 7/21/14: I checked in to see if anyone has recently posted current pictures of low voltage…read morelighting installed by this service provider. I am ready to do some upgrades to one of our properties.
FYI, Yelp's system is not full proof, I'll tell you why, YELP IS HIDING 11 OTHER REVIEWS FOR THIS COMPANY! NOT PLAYING FAIR YELP! Just below all the reviews posted for this service provider, there are more reviews YELP is hiding from viewers and other Yelper's. See below, 11 FILTERED. I read 1 today, which is more recent than some of the ones Yelp is displaying. I viewed Yelp's video trying to explain the way they decide what to post, then read the posts and the only thing that makes any sense to me, is some of the reviewers are not ongoing Yelper's. Does this mean Yelp discredits their comments? Thought you needed to know this.
MY REVIEW:
I was in need of a Landscaper in the Riverside county area for a property I was working on. I found this vendor (Artisan Light & Landscape) while buying irrigation supplies. I asked the men at the counter if they could recommend some local irrigation companies in the area. This business was on the list they gave me.
Tom, the owner and primary service provider is an honest and appointment keeping man. If for any reason, he cannot meet your desired deadline for a service he will tell you outright. His prices are fair too. I had requested and received quotes for a side yard from three equally reputable companies and he was the most concise and forthcoming with his quote. He took notes, went home, worked up a quote and E-mailed it to me. If you have a budget, he will be honest with you and tell you what will work best with your budget.
Before hiring him, he gave me an address to view of a property he was working on. The place looked awesome during the day but at night it looked fabulous! The home had landscaping, hardscaping and beautiful lighting surrounding the property. It seems he enjoys the lighting aspect of his job tremendously, and it shows!
Using plants I purchased, Tom designed and planted a side yard with a lovely durable border, mulch and a drip watering system. No more sprinklers watering block walls and other hard surfaces!
Tom also replaced sprinkler system valves, repaired other sprinkler valves, replaced sprinkler heads, installed Railroad ties to be used as steps, advised us about trees and plants for our next project.
This supplier knows his business. He possesses a B.S. in Ornamental Horticulture from Cal Poly Pomona. He can advise you about plants, trees, etc. He is EXTREMELY knowledgeable!
I highly recommend this service provider. 5 stars all the way!

UPDATE: On 4/3/2013, Tom trimmed 6 trees and 11 Queen Palms on one of our properties. He also removed a Decorative Plum tree for us. The Plum tree was too close to one of the Queen Palms, making a mess on the neighbors lawn. STILL 5 STARS!
UPDATE: Today 5/2/2013, I hired Tom back to check an irrigation line at a property we own. The grass was very soggy, we believed there was a leak. Wasting water is a big NO, NO. Tom came out, he dug up the grass and confirmed there was a cracked line. The line was repaired within about 20-25 minutes. This included pulling parts, trimming PVC pipe to size and fastening everything back as needed.
I attached more pictures. STILL 5 STARS!
UPDATE: Wednesday 8/28/2013, Hired this service provider again. He replaced some old damaged, ineffective sprinkler system parts. Arrived as scheduled and performed service as requested. STILL 5 STARS!
