Response from Active Landscaping & Irrigation
The member hired Active to maintain her property. The bidding process took almost 3 weeks because the property was in very bad condition and the owner kept trying to not approve a clean up. She finally approved for a clean up on just the front yard. Hurricane Irma then came through our area. Following the Hurricane, the owner changed her mind and said she wanted just the back yard cleaned up and not the front yard. We then rescheduled the clean up and the homeowner cancelled. These are reasons we insist on an initial clean up on a property that needs it. She was not happy with the service because it was completely out of control when she approved us to start the lawn maintenance, but we could not properly provide lawn maintenance without a clean up of the entire property.

Both teams of serviceman were amazing. Very concerned with doing a great job. The tree removal was extremely difficult, but they worked hard to get the roots away from the sprinkler pipes with out damaging them, which none of us though was possible!

It became a "job" trying to work with them to obtain quotes and documentation to submit to our HOA... shouldn't have work so hard to obtain a good contractor... crazy.
Description of Work: My husband and I have been patiently working with this company for months trying to obtain quotes, information and documentation required by our HOA to process a Request for Approval of Landscaping. At this point we're extremely frustrated and angry that we've patiently waited for responses and information because we'd hoped our landscaping project would have been completed long before now...its felt like a "job" just trying to communicate with these people to try to hire them.... wouldn't ever recommend them.... ever.

We aren't in business to delay, but to do the work and move on to the next client. This project did have delays for various reasons. In the end, she moved on because we couldn't budge on a company policy.

Surprisingly, the repairs were quick and painless. All heads and sprinklers were checked and it only cost me $88. Go figure!

Everything went extremely well! We contacted Active (as well as three other landscape companies ) to get an estimate on some work we wanted done in the back yard. All four companies provided estimates and Active's price while not the lowest of the bids, was competitive. What set Active apart was the service provided by Victor. Victor came out to the house the first time to hear what we wanted and to measure etc. When we explained what he had in mind, he pointed out that one of the areas where we wanted pavers would actually make our existing water run off problems worse. He was willing to do the work, but recommended against it. After hearing his explanation it was obvious that he was 100% correct, what we had in mind was not a good idea. He turned down money because it wasn't the right thing to do for us. The other quotes were all willing to let us make a $$ mistake. After that, Victor came back to the house multiple times to make certain that when he was drawing up would look right and go well with our existing layout. He really worked hard to make sure he got it right. His efforts made choosing the quote we wanted to go with a no brainer. He scheduled us quickly, his crew showed on on time, were very courteous and professional and cleaned up after they were done. Despite the fact that the install took longer than Victor anticipated (due to the hard clay soil we have he did) not charge any extra for the labor. I even asked him if he needed to add a bit more for labor and he said no. Again, he could have easily "stuck me" for more money but he chose not to. You have to really appreciate that kind of honesty! We are already planning the next round of improvements we want done. Victor is the only person we will be calling. Great work, on time, reasonably priced and outstanding honesty and integrity. What more can you ask for? One final note, I just realized I left an "average" review on active several years ago for some irrigation work I had them do. Not sure what happened there but as part of the landscaping project this time they also had to modify my irrigation and that all went well too! If I could pull down the old review I would. Couldn't be happier with Active at this point!

Not good as you can ttell from reading my review
Description of Work: I had one sprinkler leaking and wanted my sprinkler timer changed out for one I had They told me the leak was not a sprinkler head but a stuck open valve which they changed me 55$ to find and replaced for 100$. Then another zone suddenly became stuck on and said I'd have to pay another 150$ to find and replace after they charged me two hours looking for it. When replacing the sprinkler box decided they needed to put another hole in the box to hang it(it had previously been hung for 5 years without this additional hole) when they put the NEW hole in they cracked off the corner of the box leaving all the electrical exsposed to the elements I finally asked them to just leave and had someone else do the repairs which were completed including changing the box replace the valve and replace sprinkler heads in 2 hours and cost less

Response from Active Landscaping & Irrigation
Member had a valve that needed located and replaced. She said she knew where all valves were except the bad valve. We located and replaced it, per her request, and then checked the rest of the system. Upon inspecting the rest of the system we found another bad valve. The boxes she thought were valves for the remainder system were not, so we had to locate that valve. The member also wanted her new digital controller replaced with her very old (over 15 years old) manual controller despite our recommendation to not due to the age. The very old discontinued controller needed parts for it to work. Upon her insistence, we attempted to oblige and spent a lot of time trying to find the parts for her to be able to use the very old controller. Upon installing the old controller, the deteriorating/brittle plastic cracked as we attempted to mount the enclosure box for her. She was upset that the box broke and asked the technician to leave. We advised her we can get a new enclosure box, but she opted to not.

After all the glowing reviews I started with the irrigation inspection. This company was responsive, on time, and very courteous. So I decided to hire them for my weekly lawn service. My lawn was struggling, some browning, and patches where grass was dying. There are a few oak trees on my front lawn, so the leaves are a constant battle. Well instead of reversing this death process, Active Lawn expedited it. They will not pick up the leaves. Not once. No bag of leaves has ever left my property in the seven months I've been paying them. They will only blow them off the street and sidewalk right onto your lawn. They are in and out so fast that it's no wonder they do a poor job. Additionally, they have not trimmed or cut any shrub, on my property while I've been using them (which I am paying for). I sent an email to Shari, to address this, and express my unhappiness. She assured me that she would discuss it with her crew. Well it's been two months since, and there has been no change in the poor service. My lawn has completely died. Overcome with weeds, and choked under leaves. Which I also, by the way, pay them for the chemical and fertilizer service. The price of their service is not cheap, and I expect to get what I pay for. My previous service was considerably cheaper and they bagged all the leaves and my lawn was doing much better. I would not recommend Active Lawn to anyone.

GREAT! Tech right on time, introduced himself, explained the service he would perform and went right to work. He found three replacements needed, explained everything to me, got my permission for replacements, and did the work, checked it, and told me when he finished. Very professional. I will certainly recommend them and use them again!

This is the second time that Active has performed a sprinkler tune-up at my home. This time they sent Dwayne out to perform the assessment. He did a totally thorough check & made necessary adjustments. Every blade of grass on the lawn is now getting a drink when the system is turned on. Dwayne was friendly, courteous, & took the time to explain what he was doing. This $50 service offered by Active may well be the best bargain in the universe - this company rocks!

I have been using active since 2012 and have been very pleased with them up until this point. So I am sad to have to write this very negative review. I have used Active for several years now and have been pleased with them. However, on this last trip everything changed. I scheduled to have a technician come out and move heads and lines to water new sod that is going to be placed. The technician stated that he new nothing about this and that he would need to call the office and find out why he wasn't scheduled for anything but a tune-up. Then he looked down on his paper at the bottom and read a message to the affect of (customer has lines and heads that will need to be moved.) He read this aloud to me. He then said they that if that was written on his paper work then maybe they actually gave him the allotted time to do this job. However he didn't have the appropriate equipment with him so he would do what he could and come back with lines etc... Interesting that he was just then seeing that note. I told him we had been waiting for a couple of weeks to get someone out here and that I am a little aggravated with them that they weren't prepared. He said he would have to call in the office to find out why. After about 15 minutes, Shari from the office called and acted like she had no idea why I had thought her technician was going to do all that I had stated. I told her I spoke with her directly and explained this to her when I made the appointment. She then said I didn't tell her we had just put in a patio and that lines could have been damaged underneath. Well I did explain that to her when I called and that was one reason for them coming out; to check lines and move heads. And no valve was covered as the technician reported. As I tried to explain myself, she over talked me with words like, Ma'am Ma'am. In other words, "I really don't want to hear what you have to say." What has happened to customer service? Due to her behavior, I will never use Active again. She was rude and condescending. I originally found them on Angie's List so I will leave my feedback there as well. 1 star is too many!

Response from Active Landscaping & Irrigation
Service was scheduled as a tune up and member indicated a few heads may need moved. Upon arrival, the member met the tech with a blueprint of her backyard for a complete revamp of the system. The tech explained that would need to be an install truck, not a service truck. He not only did not have the magnitude of parts for this revamp, but also not the hours required due to his scheduled appointments. The member became very angry and insistent that he do the job. The member was very difficult, so the tech said he would call the office to see what he could do. The office called the member and tried to explain she required more extensive work than she described when requesting the tune up, but we can have a supervisor meet her to propose the revamp the next day. She didn't want to hear any other solution than the revamp being done right then, so after a very brief conversation of the member barely allowing our office to speak, she hung up. The tech and the office remained civil and respectful by using terms like ma'am just as we do with all members, but she remained combative. We called the member again the next day and offered to do the revamp scheduled in the allotted hours needed. We understand she was frustrated due to the extreme drought we are in, so we continued to offer reasonable solutions.

Thank you for your review! Your estimate was emailed to you on 3/23/17 at 12:49 p.m., which is the day after your appointment. Maybe the estimate went in your spam folder? This morning I have left you a voice message and emailed it again directly from our system. In case there is a problem with it going into your spam, it was also sent from my outlook inbox. Please just check your email and spam folder and let us know if you have any questions. We would be happy to perform this work for you!

Fantastic! Dwane arrived within the stated time window. He was very professional and taught me a lot about my sprinkler system, He is knowledgeable and was kind to answer all of my questions. It only took 2 hours and didn't cost very much. A small price to pay for a green lawn. Thank you, Dwane! Will definitely call them again, and will recommend them to anyone.
