Mike did an excellent job repairing a sprinkler pipe which had dislodged, causing low water pressure. Mike is very experienced and knowledgeable at his work and correctly diagnosed the problem. His team fixed it in no time. Price was reasonable. It was a pleasure to hire him and I plan to re-hire him for my future projects.

Mike came up with good solutions for all the "curves" that our 25-year old landscape watering setup presented after we dug up and traced the lines and their leaks. We ended up with a solidly designed and organized set of new valves, and new anti-siphon vacuum breaker valve, shutoff, etc. Recommend him highly (and will work with him on other landscaping projects again soon).

Mike was awesome to work with. He imparted a lot of knowledge so that I could do some of the work myself. He installed a smart timer and fixed some irrigation issues. He gave me a list of stuff I could get at Lane Irrigation so I didnâ t pay a ton of $$. Heâ s an all around nice guy and super helpful. Would highly recommend!

I highly recommend Mike. He came to fix what appeared to be a simple broken sprinkler head or pipe that turned out to be a much larger, messier problem. We lucked out getting him for the job. He is experienced (showed in his careful assessment and problem-solving), professional, reliable (shows up when he says he will) and a good communicator.

These fellows went out of their way to squeeze me in, plus gave me tips on much needed advice that changed my perspective of my yard! They took a little while to get back to me but understand they are extremely busy and was very much appreciative of their fair pricing.

Mike Veazie was the best. I had called 2 companies scheduled to come to my home before I found Better Gardening & Services Neither one showed up for the appt. Iâ m actually glad now because I found Mike and got the best service ever. Will recommend him to all my friends and will continue to use him for all our needs.

Mike Veazie quickly tracked down a leak in one my sprinkler pipes and repaired it, saving me lot's of money on my water bill. The work was done quickly, despite the holiday season. He also made lots of good suggestions for improving my landscaping. Will definitely hire again.

I hired Better Gardening & Landscape Services from the HomeAdvisor web page / recommendation. The owner, Michael Veazie, responded and came to my home for our appointment/consultation. Mike was prompt, courteous and very knowledgeable. Mike was able to identify and solve my issue as well as provide a wealth of additional information that has proven to be very helpful. I had the opportunity to chat with Mike while he did a bit of the work and took a few moments to watch 'over his shoulder' while he was working. It was very clear that Mike takes pride in his work and 'does things right'. This was absolutely the type and quality of service I was looking for. The experience was about as good as you could hope for and I wholeheartedly recommend this business.

Mike was excellent. He was on time he explained what the problems were and how best to fix them. He was pleasant and efficient in correcting the problems I had with my irrigation valves. He also followed up to ensure everything was in working order and that I was completely satisfied.

Mike was great! He came out and fixed our issue very quickly! He was also super knowledgeable and gave us a ton of advice on how to improve the health and appearance of our lawns. He gave us recommendations for next steps but never pressured us to do more than we were ready to. Definitely will be hiring him when we upgrade our sprinkler system

Mike talked me through the problem and the solution over the phone. Despite it being a fairly simple issue, I am not mechanically inclined and he did not make me feel like an idiot for not figuring it out for myself.
