I do not recommend this company for landscaping due to poor follow-up on a serious problem with the irrigation system. Although landscape architect Diana did a good job with the design, and the masonry was done will, the irrigation system has had two major problems. A year after the installation, a plastic cap blew out on a junction and resulted in flooding of my yard and neighbor's with full pressure from the main line. Contractor that fixed it (emergency call on weekend) said it was a faulty installation. Also, a valve on the drip system leaks extensively while on due to overpressure on the line. Apparently no pressure regulators were installed. Even though these problems surfaced beyond the 90 day warranty, this is a design flaw that should be fixed. Stubblefield sent a worker out, and he tightened the valve cap, but that didn't fix the problem and the valve has been leaking onto the house foundation. Stubblefield now refuses to return calls.
Description of Work: Designed landscape and installed irrigation system and masonry for front and back yard. Built small retaining wall of moss rock. Recommended and provided plants.
