Called for the free estimate of redoing my sprinkler system. Was told they "don't do estimates" and the cost is $125 per hour plus parts. So I said well how do I know how long it will take? The response was, "oh"; well let me see if someone can come out to your home. Asked if they did turf, said yes and I should measure it myself and it would cost $xx per square feet. How do I know if I measure correctly?! PFFTTT on this company - they do not do free estimates and expect me to do the legwork. I will give my money to another company who sends somebody to my home.

If you are looking for someone to do an outdoor kitchen, shop around. Our quote from Eric, which we had to follow up getting, was over double what we paid- for a better product. Eric wanted his vision and it was not environmentally friendly either. The quote was laughable because it quoted the same thing on multiple items, but of course the price was multiplied too. We have never seen how an outdoor fridge would cost over $2200 to install (regular Bull fridge too).
For the sake of your time and money, shop around. After we received the quote, which we knew was way overpriced, no one ever called to follow up. I wonder if they didn't because they knew it was a joke. Glad we didn't go with them and saved over $13,000. Thanks Marantha for not following up. We got a better product for half the cost in less the time.

Called them on 5/11/20 to obtain a quote for some work. On 5/14/20 they were scheduling to come up between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM. They never showed up. Called them and they said they had my number wrong in the system, so when they called yesterday, it didn't go through so they just cancelled the appointment. They then asked for my number and said we can reschedule for next week. This is poor, poor customer service. While they were courteous, the offer should have been to come out this week still. I said no thanks and hung up. Hopefully they got the message.

They do good work, when they answer their phones, and when they keep their appointments. We have looked for another company. We really feel as if the individual customer is of no importance to them

Came out the same day! Mike and his crew came out at the exact time they said they would. Mike was professional, communicated everything they were doing and the time his crew would be back to finish. Worked hard until they found the valve that was broke. Will be working more with Mike and telling me neighbors to as well.
