I called to try and get an estimate regarding a small job. The gal (wish I got her name) who answered the phone gave me great advise. This company didn't complete a job for me, but they took time to give me great advise for nothing. How awesome is that? Thank-you so much, Lisa G

Jeff is great. He does exactly what he says he's going to do. The work is of really high quality, and he keeps following up to make sure it all works out well. When a small error was made, Jeff contacted us before we had a chance to contact him, and proposed an excellent solution and made things more than right. Very trustworthy.

Overpriced, with super lazy and slow workers. Used them on my back yard landscaping and irrigation in 2007 and the invoice was more than 10% higher than the contracted estimate, plus I'm having to replace all irrigation valves now because they didn't (just used the 30yo ones that were there?). Don't recommend.

Jeff is incredibly rude, unprofessional, and quotes a price several times what other companies do. Thankfully, I didn't hire him, but my experience was very much consistent with what Jennifer D., oren r., and Brian K (the latter who had to sue him) have described in more detail.

The receptionist I spoke to was very polite and generous. I love the layout they presented to me. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!
