  Quality Lawn Sprinklers Inc

  I had to replace the front lawn with sod, so I wanted to make sure everything was good to go there. First, there were several leaks that were left and then, months later, I received a letter in the mail saying that I should pay the bill and that he was going to take me to small claims court for $40. I have a property manager who fortunately made a copy of the voucher and reminded him that he received the voucher and that's how Angie's List works. We haven't heard from him again. It was an upsell. It was maybe $100 and then he wanted the other $40. My program manager contacted and scheduled him to be there before the sod was laid the following day and he never showed up the day that he was supposed to be there. That meant that the sod was laid and then he had to find the heads. That was part of the reason that I was charged additional. When he was looking for the heads, he broke one. Even then, it leaked. So, it was just incompetence, when you're not right there.

  Three Kings Lawn Care

  Very professional work. Cleaned up very well after they finished. They are honest and do good work. I first thought it was a little expensive, but when I realized the property had not been trimmed in over 4 years, it was worth it. I will hire them again in the future.

  Provider informed me he would call me back on a certain day to come look at the required work.  I took a day of vacation to deal with this.  On the day of, not even a call from him.  I consider this to be very rude...bad business practice.

  When I first called BTOPS and left a message, I expected having to wait a couple of days as I had called some other contractors and received late or no return calls. I was impressed that shortly after I called the number, a young man called me back and asked when would I be available to meet with Bobby, the owner. After I gave him some alternative times, he called back shortly and confimed the meeting time with me. At precisely the time agreed on, the doorbell rang and Bobby was there, shook my hand and stated he was appreciative of the opportunity to talk to me. We walked around and I gave him a big overview of what I wanted done and why; he suggested some things; we talked some more; he suggested some things. I never felt like he was trying to tell me things because they would be good for him or easier. I felt like he was genuinely trying to help me. We probaby spent 30 minutes and he said he would be in touch and get me a proposal promptly. The very next day, I received an email with his proposal attached. While I felt like the proposal was a little on the high side it was not outrageously high. When I called Bobby and told him the price range I was looking for he said he could make some adjustments without substantially altering the overall plan...like make plantings a little further apart to reduce the number needed...etc. We took some things out of the proposal that we would add on at the end, like the irrigation renovation and any additional plants needed. We were in agreement and Bobby promised he would have guys out in two days to begin the work and they did exactly what he told me he would do.
  

  • Thursday, August 22nd - Several of his workers came out with him and he showed them the boundaries of the property and what to kill with the grass killer they would spray.
  • Monday, August  26th - Workers came back out and resprayed areas that had not been killed by the original spraying. There were very few. I also took Bobby to a house down the street to look at some Zoysia grass that appeared to tolerate the shade very well. He listened and carefully examined the grass but still felt that his original suggested Zoysia grass, Empire was still what he would reccommend. I decided to listen to him with his experience and go with the Empire. My subsequent investigation online of Empire and other Zoysia grasses convinced me that Bobby was right. I have no reservations on using the Empire species.
  • Tuesday, August 27th - Several workers came that day and with the aid of a machine specifically suited for the job, removed all the dead grass that was killed earlier and hauled it away.
  • Wednesday, August 28th - The dump trucks arrived very early with dirt..lots of dirt...topsoil for the newly designed bed for the ground cover and sandy mixture for the areas receiving the new grass. Several workers spent the entire day spreading the dirt and forming the  bed.
  • Thursday, August 29th - The crew arrived early with plants and lots and lots and lots of pine straw. They spent the entire day installing the plants, pruning all existing plants and putting down all the pine straw in the shrubbery beds and new ground cover areas. They also extracted some old spindly shrubs and replaced them with some great evergreens. At the end of the day, all beds were complete.
  • Friday, August 30th. As Bobby had told me, the sod truck was waiting at 7 AM, fully loaded with all the sod needed that day. He arrived and told the driver where to put the various pallets and the workers began work immediately to put the sod down. They worked tirelessly throughout the day, even during a brief thundershow to finish for the week. The lawn look lovely.
  • Sunday, September 1 - As I watered very, very heavily Friday and Satuday nights, I awoke Sunday morning with a hugh hole in my front yard becasue of a previous excavation that had not settled sufficiently. I called Bobby and told him the story. Being a holiday weekend, he told me he couldn't have anybody there on Monday, but would get it fixed first thing Tuesday morning. I also told him I needed some help with adjusting the new sprinkler heads
  • .
  • Tuesday, September 3 - Early on, workers showed up with the required dirt and replacement sod if needed. They filled the hole and reinstalled the grass. Not only that but they cleaned up everything so that basically one never knew the hole had been there
  • .

  Wednesday, September 4 - The irrigation person came by and adjusted all the sprinklers to maximize the coverage and minimize the waste of water. Outside of the original proposal, roughly a dozen heads had to be replaced and adjusted. Now I am certain that my irrigation system is back to it's original coverage and I was shown how to adjust the sprinklers myself if necessary. He even gave me one of his little tools that came with the sprinkle heads so I can adjust with the right tool.
  This has been a rather lengthy review, but I wanted to take members through  a project in detail so that they understand what is involved and what to consider when evaluating a proposal for extensive lawn and landscape services. Most homeowners never have to do what I did, but should someone want to do this, I wanted them to consider all that has to be done and all the manual labor involved when evaluating a proposal. BTOPS Lanscaping did what I wanted the way I wanted it done and I can only say thank you for all the hard work. It may be necessary to call them in the next couple of weeks if the hole in my front yard settles some more, but I am sure they will be here in a short period. It is my personal opinion that I picked the right company and most especially the right people when I contacted BTOPS Landscaping, Inc.

  He put 10 sprinkler heads into my yard and I live in a condo. My yard isn?t that big and I have a flower bed that takes up about 90% of the front yard. He didn?t even install them correctly and had one directed at the front of the house where it already had some mold.
  
  I was sick and didn?t have time to put through a complaint on him at the time.

  He has been in business for 19 years. He came out the same day I called him, and gave me an estimate. He gave excellent service. They had 4-6 people working for two days. We got more than what was originally promised, and they even removed a stump from our lawn. When they were finished, Carl came out to do a walk through to show me the system. We found a problem, and the next day the workers were back to fix the problem. My wife and I were pleased with the service.

  I had a great experience with them. Affordable Sprinklers is excellent, they did exactly what I thought they would do and did the project very quickly. The owner came to make sure everything was done correctly and to show me how to program the system.
