This father and son team are the best irrigation and outdoor lighting I have ever dealt with! The son David took my old lighting system and upgraded it to a mixture of led and old bulbs and it works and looks great! And for such a low price. He also required my irrigation system that was 30+ years old to the new Rachio WiFi system for like $600 I think. He just came over and charged me $65 to replace several led bulbs that were out.
The father Bob has always been the smartest horticulturist I know and he loves what he does. our back yard would never grow grass and he told me to cut down 4 trees and we did so now we have a full lush backyard! I love these guys :- 5 stars Jay Aftab Wyckoff, NJ
