INLAND LANDSCAPE AND IRRIGATION

Rich Durbin is a stand up guy, very professional. Came out and did the estimate on replacing my sprinkler control valves which were very old(40+). He even comes out and does most of the work himself which is a big plus in my book. He even lowered the total price on completion of the job because it was less work than originally quoted, a nice surprise for me. Over all very easy to deal with, shows up when he says he will and gets the job done in a reasonable amount of time. Highly recommended.

The irrigation work was completed on schedule. Enjoyed working with Juan Orozco,

Very prompt, professional and efficient. Uses quality commercial grade parts. Replaced an above ground valve and replaced a section of pipe underground.

Called company and left message. Richard promptly returned my call. He stated that he charges $70. to come out to access what needs to be done and if work is performed he will deduct that fee from the the over all cost of job. I was getting 3 quotes for my repairs, so if I didn't chose him I'm out $70. He was not the only one to charge to come out but he was the most expensive. I did find someone to come buy to give me a free est. Where what I read about Richard's company it sounds like he does very good work,and i see nothing wrong with chargeing a service call. Where I would have no problem paying $30-$40, $70 is ridiculous just to give an estimate.

Complete loser. Did not show or have the decency to call and say he was blowing us off.

Tried to contact this group twice via Angie’s list. I was never contacted to set up an appointment

Showed up on time for an evaluation to remodel my irrigation system. Very knowledgeable and professional. Several days after the evaluation we had a major underground water leak. Rich repaired the leak and tested the system.

Richard was very kind, thorough in his work, and clear in his explanations of what was going on. He diagnosed the problem and quoted me a price. He fixed the wiring and valve at that time. Then, he went to get the new timer system and returned shortly thereafter to finish the work.

I have TruGreen Lawncare, they stated I needed a simple tune-up, a few spots were not getting enough water. I called Rich with "Inland Landscape and Irrigation" for an estimate. First, he wasn't flexible on time insisted on a 7:00 AM time slot. Also, he seemed to want to do more than I wanted and said it can be done in segments. He did stated, there is a $75 initial fee on phone and any work done, it will be deducted. Then, the estimate was presented way over expected $3,832, no separated pricing by location (front or back) or by task / section. When I asked why consolidated, he stated it would take too much time! (?) Would price out, if I wanted him to do the work. Then, I asked what does he charges for a new system and he stated $4,000 to $6,000! My estimate is dollars from NEW! Paid the $75 and told him I would think about it. I feel it was a "Pressure Approach"! Quick $75! So, I decided to call a couple of other companies to compare. Next, with a 4.75 Star rating quoted $1,080 and the other with a 5 Star rating...$295! Hired the later, after he said my yard was fine...just needed a simple tune-up and price was in my range. Tremendous difference in price, please be careful!!! Finally, I'm a 76 year old retired female. I believe this could be a major factor!!!

Richard was very responsive and almost punctual. I wanted one of my stations to be fixed, but Richard wanted to replace the board and the actuators. He claims that he uses good quality materials. He quoted a price for the control board and a price for the actuators. He wanted 50% money upfront and I offered to pay by credit card. That was not acceptable, as he wanted the money in his account before he commences work. I had to go to the ATM and withdraw cash. So much for professionalism. After I gave him the money, he went to get the materials. I checked the price of the control panel online. It was $76. Guess how much I was charged. $350!!!!!!!!!!! I was charged another $900 for the actuators. I believe that the material cost could not have exceeded $200. Overall I was charged $1,250. In my opinion it is daylight robbery! He was in a hurry to leave without even checking if all my sprinklers were working. I insisted that it be checked. He did check it and found one sprinker pipe was broken and he replaced it. Had I not insisted , my problem would not have been solved , even after i paid an arm and leg. I will never hire this company again. There will be others to do such work without gouging the customers.

Mr. Durbin and his crew were punctual, professional and polite. The clean-up was acceptable. The improvements as of this writing has been successful.

Richard was able to come out right away to assess the problem. He had the parts and tools to fix it on the spot. He was able to fix it very quickly. I was impressed with his knowledge and customer service. We had him come out the next week to replace the valve on our sprinkler.

Rich at Inland Landscape and Irrigation was fantastic. He outlined options for us and showed us the type of equipment and connections he would be using. The work was completed in a timely manner. Our lawns greened up within a couple weeks of the renovation. To be honest, the reviews on Angie's list were so good that I did not shop for any other estimates, so I do not know how his prices compare to others. We are very satisfied with the work that was done.

They didn't show up for the estimate

Did not higher as quoted price was more than what I budgeted for.

Rich did an excellent job. He replace the control valves with brass fitting, replaced the back flow device and rewired control valves to timing box. his work was explained to me and he was able to show photos of work completed in various stages. Rich and is assistant were excellent and very professional. Clean up was done well. I am ecstatic with the results and the water coverage my property gets with the work he performed.

Searched Angie's List and saw the advertisement for Inland Landscape and Irrigation owned by Rich Durbin. After reading many positive reviews of Rich's work we contacted him directly and shared our emergency. With no hesitation Rich stated he would come to the rescue after finishing the job he was currently in the middle of. Rich immediately assessed the situation and started working and had the job completed within an hour. We were very impressed with his knowledge of sprinkler system repair. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident. We strongly recommend Rich and will definitely contact him with any future landscaping/irrigation needs. The water to the house was soon back on!!!

My sprinkler system has always been a headache for me to deal with. For the past year or so, they would just turn on by themselves and flood my yard if I wasn't paying attention. I couldn't even run one zone at a time. If I tried to run them manually, the whole system would turn on. I called Rich from Inland Landscape and he listened to my concerns and was able to quickly diagnose the problem. The following day, he returned and replaced my sprinkler clock and leaking valves. Rich was very professional, efficient, knowledgable and a genuinely nice guy. He gave me a lot of advice on what to do with my yard. I will say that when he gave me the quote I felt it was a bit too pricey, but after seeing the quality of his work, I think it was a fair price. You get what you pay for, right? I have other projects that I'd like to get done this year and I will definitely be calling him back for those. I highly recommend Inland Landscape

Contacted Inland Landscape and Irrigation on a Thursday afternoon and he was able to help us the next day on Friday morning to help us with an irrigation system that had been having a lot of problems for a while and now had leaking shutoff valve to our irrigation system that was now constantly leaking into our front yard. Rich called a few minutes before arriving and was on-time at 9:00 AM. After investigating our system he suggested he could repair just the failed components or he could re-do the whole manifold and valves and give us a 1 year warranty on the work. Having had a lot of problems with the system, we opted to redo the whole system for $2400. Rich brought in one helper and got to work quickly. They removed the old manifold and valves. He had to shut off water to the whole house for about 4 hours. He said that part of the problem with our old system was very high water pressure from the street, so added a pressure regulator. The line that ran between the valves in the front of the house and the back of the house ran above ground and was not optimal. Instead of using the old path, Rich drilled a hole through the block wall so that the line could be run straight and under ground. The valves Rich used as replacements were high quality and all the water lines were neatly organized. He reburied all the components and smoothed out the dirt. It looked as good as new when he was done. In addition to the valves, he inspected all the sprinkler heads and repaired any that were having problems. Great work all around, I would definitely use his services again.

MR DURBIN WAS ON TIME ON THE DAY FOR AN ANALYSIS OF THE SYSTEM AND IT PROBLEMS. HE HAD ME ACCOMPANY HIM AS HE ANALYSED THE SYSTEM AND IT PROBLEMS. HE EXPLAIN EVERY THING AND GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF THE COST BEFORE HIM LEFT. I ACCEPTED HIS PROPOSAL AND WE SET A DATE FOR THE WORK TO DONE. HE SHOWED UP ON THE DATE AGREED UPON. hE WAS PROMPT AND EFFICIENT IN HIS WORK. HE HAD TO COME BACK WHEN THERE WAS A LEAK THAT HAD BEEN OVERLOOKED. HE REPAIRED IT AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. i WOULD HIRE HIM AGAIN.

Very well! He checked out the whole system, identified what needed to be done and gave me an approximate price for everything. I just called Richard for another issue. He remembered the house and exactly where everything was located. He is a very nice person and great to work with.

I called Rich and left a voicemail to ask if he could come out and look at a problem area with my lawn. Rich quickly responded and scheduled an appointment with me. Upon his arrival, he quickly found the issues and repaired them promptly. I was able to ask Rich specific questions on how to maintain my lawn. Rich gave me detailed instructions and products to buy to fix the brown/bald spots in my yard. Rich also gave me advice on where I should build a swing set so I will have minimal issues with moving sprinklers. Rich has a great wealth of knowledge and experience. He has no issues explaining things in layman terms to help customer feel completely comfortable with the information he shares. He is one of my best referrals on Angie's List. Bottom Line, if you want a reputable, honest, personable and professional person to install or fix sprinkler issues, Inland Landscape and Irrigation is by far the BEST. Thank you again and again for always providing exceptional service.

Richard was punctual, respectful and professional. He started the work the next day after our consultation and finished within two more days. He and his crew did a great job and we feel that we have found someone we can trust to take care of other work we need to do at our home.

Decided we wanted to change up our yard to drought resistant desert landscape. Checked out Angies List and decided on Inland Landscape. I talked to Richard and scheduled a meeting. He showed up on time and was very professional (and a nice guy too!). I already had an idea about what we wanted and he knew exactly what we had in mind. Within a couple of days he had a quote and after some discussion and a few tweaks, he was underway. He was also more than happy to use the coupons we got off of Angies List. Living in my area means we have a lot of roots from city trees and rocks in the ground. It took him longer than expected to get through all that and still stayed within the quote. Coming home and seeing progress was awesome. He and his crew always cleaned up after themselves and the yard looked great even when in the middle of the project. The end result was awesome! He surprised us with the plants and rocks he picked out. Looks way better than I had imagined. From the concrete cutting and patching, to how he set the different shades up decomposed granite- professional work all the way. We ended up having issues with our water pressure valve and he helped us out with that too. After everything, our yard looks great, the plants are growing in and looking natural. We wanted the best and we got it with Inland Landscape and Irrigation. We plan on doing some work in our backyard in a couple of years and you can bet we'll call Richard.

From my very first contact with Rich, he was professional and genuine with providing answers to all my concerns. He was clear and concise with explaining the issues I was having and how he could correct each problem. I was not able to have all the work completed in one day, so Rich completed the work in 3 phases. Each time Rich returned to complete the next phase of the service, he confirmed the meeting and what he would be completing. He was punctual and followed-up with additional communication to confirm what was completed. I am extremely happy with the irrigation service Rich provided. I plan to contact Rich for my next project. It's always a pleasure to write a review when service is top notch. Thanks again Rich...
