I first had David and his crew put in my drip irrigation system about 3 years ago, after being referred to him by several neighbors. He communicates very well, via call and text (helpful!), shows up when he says he will, and did a great job on our system. He allowed me to be part of the process and taught me a lot about organizing and thinking about irrigating. Even though I do my own maintenance, he never fails to answer any question I have regarding the irrigation. The fact that he is a Master Gardener is a huge bonus, as he truly cares about each plant and its needs.
I just hired him again to put in a system for my 93 year old father-in-law at his home in Corte Madera. Same great communication and follow through, same prompt response and finished the job on time even when things became more complicated. David also gave me valuable advice on a much simpler drip system I was putting in another part of the garden simultaneously that improved my work.
One thing you cannot pay for is compassion and respect, and this he demonstrated HUGELY when working with my F-I-L. Alan likes to understand exactly what is being done, and how, and has some good input. David took so much extra time to allow him to be part of the process. He really listened to and appreciated his input. When I thanked him for being so kind, he was truly appreciative of the decades of experience and wisdom, and meant it when he said he can learn so much from his elders. His crew includes his sweet father, and their relationship of trust, humor and respect for each other shows.
If you want work done well, by someone who loves what he does and is excellent at it, and is super friendly, hire David. read more
