Greenstar Landscaping & Irrigation

The service was great. Bad weather prevented the first scheduled visit. The company was quick to contact and reschedule. On date of service, technician was very professional and went straight to work. He took his time to troubleshoot and diagnose my issues. He taught me more than I could ask for about my own system. Highly impressed. I look forward to working with them again on the few recommend repairs.

They told me some parts were defected. I had to take them at their work. It ended up costing me $175 for them to fix this part which I'm a little dubious about. I asked him to reset the sprinkler for Thursday morning at 7:00 AM. He reset it for Thursday morning at 8:00 AM. The problem with that is people are walking by and the sprinklers are across the pavement. I called and asked if they would please send him by to reset it because I know they've been working around the corner from me on a landscaping project. They never came by and never called me back. They didn't follow-up. I thought the price was steep. I just can't imagine that part would cost me $175. I just felt skeptical about it.

I bought a $100 certificate at Angies List, the owner came out and gave me two proposals to choose from. I was talked into picking the more expensive one since i was told I needed it. The work crew was pretty good, they arrived on time and seemed to know what they were doing. The crew wondered why i was replacing heads that were perfectly fine. I allowed them to continue since i was about to spend alot of money on landscaping and i wanted to make sure everything worked well for the new plants. The crew had a hard time finding the well to change the valve and added extra hours to the job. The owner wanted to charge alot more for the work due to the delay. I told him its not my problem they cant find the well. After breaking a few pipes searching for the well, they finally located it, I agreed to pay an extra $75 but thats it. Now that my landscape is installed, i see there are areas that are not covering the plants. Some nozzles are too low some too high. I also see a pipe that is over a large tree root that should have been relocated. It was like that when i got the estimate and thought it would be corrected. It was not. I will have to pay another company to come out and relocate the pipe before the root breaks through it. My experience with the owner was not pleasant.

He quoted me at $500 for the work that there was a break in the line and an additional ~2ft line that needed to be added as well, he also replaced the head of the sprinkler. I asked about the $79, which was not included in the $500 job, he said it only covered him looking around and finding the possible work. They did fix the line and do the work, very satisfactorily except for not uncapping the line before leaving. They did come back to uncap it. I'm just upset that I paid $79 for a tuneup that mainly consisted of looking at potential work and taking several days to get them coming out.

We contracted a sprinkler system tune-up special through Angie's List. He performed an extensive survey, but no tune-up and proposed additional work for which the cost would be $1000.00. He refused to provide a breakdown of parts vs. labor. When I reduced the scope of the work, he stated that the cost would still be the same! We decided to use a different provider and only for the repairs actually necessary.

This was a big deal purchase. They came out to the house and I thought it was something else. The guy made it seem like it was only a servicing-type thing and I thought it was to replace sprinkler heads and whatnot. That was money I never put towards anything. When he got there he realized a tune up was not what was needed -- that actually we were going to have to replace sprinkler heads and whatnot and that is was not worth the tune up so I did not do anything. He quoted a price of, like, $500 to $600, which obviously was a lot more than I had anticipated on spending. I thought it was just a matter of adjusting so I never went forward with any of it. He came out to the house around the time I bought the deal. He did not do any work for me.

Greenstar was timely, efficient, courteous and excellent in every way. We will definitely have them to do our tree service and irrigation service and highly recommend them to our friends and neighbors.

This was a big deal purchase. I don't recall the details, it was too long ago.

This was a big deal purchase. I guess the value per dollar was fine.

I had previously used Greenstar for upgrading my sprinkler system in May 2014, and brought them back for the tree trimming job. The scheduling was very easy, and they arrived on time. The owner actually went to the house first, before the scheduling of the job, to review how many trees, how tall, etc., since the initial Special Deal that I bought did not include trimming very tall trees, and it only covered a few hours (if I recall, 4 hours.) The work needed in my house took most of the day, and included tall trees and bamboos, so ended paying more, but I thought the price was fair for the job done. I was very happy with the result, and would recommend Greenstar to anyone looking for landscaping.

From start to finish the project took approximately 6 weeks - on schedule. The working team was great and very friendly. Our project was a little out of the ordinary in that we wanted an environment that would entice monarch butterflies and pollinating bees which are all good for the environment. We already have two cocoons with one ready to hatch into a monarch butterfly any day now! We also wanted a variety of trees to provide berries and seed for birds. We also planted a pomegranate, starfruit and fig tree. Also a bay rum tree whose leaves smell delicious. There is fragrance throughout the entire front & back yard which is very pleasant. A raised bed garden was also installed with it's own irrigation - no more forgetting to water the garden! Peter gave us everything we wanted & more. We wanted a wow factor and we got it. We receive compliments from neighbors & strangers who happen to pass by the house. If you have the need for a landscape job, contact Greenstar , they are your one stop shop!

They were a little high on the price, but after we used another company, well maybe we should have used Greenstar. You get what you pay for.

Ok, I suppose. His diagnosis was that my system is completely hosed and needs a complete rebuild. The home was built in early 1980's and it certainly had its flaws for how the irrigation system was designed, but $3.5K off-the-cuff verbal estimate for a complete overhaul was not really what I was looking for. And there really was no tune-up associated with this offer. Kind of like paying 30 bucks for someone to come over and telling you how bad your system is, and it has no hope. Turns out all was needed was some tweaking, which I did myself and that sufficed for what I was looking for. So am actually thankful for the hopeless tone of the diagnosis as it kind of inspired me to do it myself.

Tech arrived on time, spent a lot of time doing the diagnostics. Gave us a verbal quote, followed up with a written quote and had someone follow up with a phone call. Very profesional service. When we are ready to fix the system, we will definitely use them.

It went really well, the explanation of the work to the work done and follow up were very professional and I am happy with the system. Would recommend for the job.

The service went very well! The owner is very knowledgeable and was straight forward in his explanation of what needed to be done. He supervised the job and his workers were very efficient and friendly; they knew what they were doing as well and I was impressed with his work crew. Everything Seems to be working well!

We had our system worked on several times and was never fixed properly. After seeing the reviews on Angie's List I gave Greenstar a call. Peter came out and inspected the system. He told us it would need to be replaced at a cost of $2500. At first we thought that was a little high, but after adding up how much we had put into it with disappointing results we agreed. We could not be more pleased. The crew was here every morning, working in the sweltering June heat and taking very few breaks. They were pleasant and professional. Theo was very patient with all my questions and when the job was completed, he walked me through the yard showing me how they should work and reminding me to call them is there was a problem. I would recommend highly Greenstar.

Peter responded to my inquiry quickly and provided a very detailed and accurate quotation. He coordinated the work with me very specifically to ensure work was done in advance of the bulk trash pickup day in my neighborhood. His crew completed the tree work in 1 day (and worked late to do so) and a second person returned the following week to grind the roots and stumps. Peter and his team did a great job, and I highly recommend them to other members.

My 3 sprinkler zones were changing fine before the service. They adjusted and replaced some sprinkler heads and then told me the K rain zone valve unit needed a new rubber diaphragm and really I needed to replace it- which they could do for an extra couple hundred plus dollars. I said since it was working fine to just change the rubber diaphragm and not the whole unit. They left with my $20 tip to each worker- the owner was not present during the work but the guys were on the phone with him often. A few days later, I realized something wasn't right with the system. I wasn't changing zones! Very odd it had been fine up until their service visit. So I called and the owner. He said now it would cost me an extra $50 to change out that unit. I was furious and not trusting of the whole situation - the coincidence of the breakdown. So I took it apart, didn't see anything and put it back together. And it worked. Hmmm. Also, for the $32 I paid to angies list turned out to be the cost of the owner coming out to tell me it would really cost me in the thousands wanting to redo almost the whole system, then I told him I could not do that the price finally came down to $400-500 for tweaking. I asked what the $32 was for and he said him to come out and give the estimate. Don't companies do that for free?? It wasn't even applied to the service.

The owner, Peter, is very professional and knowledgeable.

THEY CAME TO THE HOUSE TO DO THE SPRINKLER ADJUSTMENTS THAT I HAD PAID FOR ($79 comprehensive sprinkler tune-up (for up to eight zones)Deal includes inspection of sprinkler system, check for breaks in the lines, check for damaged heads, check pump station and master zone valve, check and set timer, clean and adjust clogged nozzles and adjust all other existing heads to maximize coverageAn additional fee will be charged for any additional zones requiring tune-up,) HE FINDS A LEAK GIVES ME A PRICE TO REPAIR IT AND THEN SEVERAL DAYS LATER THEY COME BACK TO DO THE REPAIR THE REPAIR WAS DONE AND THEN PETER COMES BACK TO THE HOUSE SEVERAL MORE DAYS LATER I THOUGHT TO DO THE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SPRINKLER HEADS BUT INSTEAD ALL HE WAS THERE TO DO WAS TO TRY TO SELL ME A $4,000.00 SYSTEM UPGRADE HE NEVER ADJUSTED THE FIRST HEAD SO I GOT NOTHING FOR MY 79.00

This was originally a special deal through Angie's List. It took a couple of weeks to get them out here but it was during the Easter season. Peter came here during a time when my husband could meet with him. Our irrigation system was installed when we built our home in 1996. My husband has been fixing the individual heads over the years. Peter offered us two deals: $1500 for a "bandaid repair" and $2500 for a complete overhaul with a warranty (this included any Angie's list discounts). We decided that it was time for a complete overhaul. We agreed to a date and a crew of 4-6 men came early and left late. They worked all over our yard replacing every sprinkler head (about 40) of various sizes. There was one problem with a broken line under some tree roots. It was late and they hadn't gotten it completed but said they would come back to fix it. We went ahead and gave them a check for $2,500. (He preferred the check over the credit card but said he would take a credit card if necessary.) I started to worry that we might not see them again but two men came back for two more days during the same week until they got the line working properly. Since then one head wasn't working properly and they came out and repaired it.

Actually I am grading the person that came to do the service and not the company. The company made a few mistakes as well but the girl was very nice and polite. The person that came to my house was rude, no patience and all he wanted was for me to decide to change a few things with a cost of over 200 dollars I think. I told him that I had done all the changes the year before with the same company. He was in a bad mood and I was the one that slept less than 3 hours to accommodate his schedule. It was a very bad experience.

Once I was able to connect with Greenstar, the work was done in a timely & professional manner. Would use this company again.

Peter was extremely knowledgable, professional and quick. He came out on the weekend and was willing to work with my schedule which i really appreciated. He was honest and I didn't feel like I was getting sold something i didn't need. Overall very happy with the quality and price of the service and would use them again.
