They were very knowledgeable. The owner, I believe, is the one who came out. I think they were very competitive cost-wise.
Description of Work: I have dealt with Ecosystems Services for our association. They went around and fixed the irrigation system at the entrances in our subdivision. They came and fixed a bunch of different things.

The crew arrived as planned. Investigated the leak and finally discovered the damanged piping. This involved removing sections of my front lawn grass and dirt which they saved on a large piece of cardboard. Damanged section was removed and replaced with new material. Dirt and sod was replaced. We were very satisfied with the whole process and felt they did the whole job in a professional manner.
Description of Work: We had a leak in the system with water filling up one of the control valve boxes. The crew was able to locate the leak, about 3 feet from the control box, repair the damanged piping and replace the sod so the repair was barely visible.

Overall I would not hesitate to recommend EcoSystems. In fact, that has already been done. My only suggestion would be to meet with Dave and hear his thoughts. I think you will be convinced that he is the one to go with.
Description of Work: Ecosystems provided a new irrigation system for my lawn and shrubs. The work was done as scheduled. The workers did very professional job. Dave, the owner/site manager was very easy to work with and very professional in our dealings. I would recommend to anyone that they meet with Dave. He has a very good product and provides very good service.

I called and arranged for Ecosystems to come out and check our lawn sprinkler system with the possibility of repairing or replacing it. We set a day and time that they were to come. They never showed, no phone call. When I called them, they never returned my call. Obviously they don't need anyone's business very badly.
Description of Work: None!

This review was posted from 6 months ago. I do not remember the specifics of this members claims. I do not remember missing an appointment and definitely not receiving a follow-up phone call stating so. I personally answer my phone most of the time and have few voice messages. I surely would have returned a member's call if I had missed an appointment as stated. I am not perfect, but I am respectful of member's time and appreciate the opportunities that are offered to me by members.

This was painless for me because the work was completed efficiently and for less than the original estimate. David Robertson is friendly and willing to answer questions. David arrived on time and gacv me 45 min notice before shutting of the water to my house. He worked around 90 minutes and then let me know to turn on faucets to let the gas out. When he left, the lawn looked as though he had not dug up the pipe. I am extremely pleased with his service.
Description of Work: The shut off valve for my lawn irrigation system could not be closed because the cap and lever handle had disintegrated. When I called I spoke directly to David Robertson and he came out in less than a week. He replaced the valve with a new one with a lever shut off handle. He checked to make sure that the irrigation system was not leaking.

David is a great find. Very responsive, honest, and fair priced. He's the guy that isn't going to rip you off. I had been using some of the large service companies before I found David, but not since.
Description of Work: David came out to fix a leak in my irrigation system. In addition, he repositioned some sprinkler heads to better service specific areas.

The installers were on time as was the owner who estimated the work. A large trenching machine was brought out which made the job go quickly.
Description of Work: The owner of Ecosystems analysed my yard and old sprinkler system and redirected the heads to water my new zoysia lawn and to conserve water. He also installed a meter to turn off the system during the rain. Some heads were removed and some new ones were added.

The member is actually a customer I have previously worked for. I repaired his pump last year after he fired the previous irrigation contractor. He obviously did not remember our last experience together. I got his pump operating, replaced a couple of heads and was paid in full for my work. I did not receiveu a positive review from him the last time. I have many happy repeat customers. I have yet to receive a negative review from any member I actually meet and performed work for. Unfortunately, not every customer is a good customer to work for again. It was my choice not to continue servicing this miserable individual. I am not surprised he posted a negative review.

Selected Ecosystems based on their Angies List rating and their competitive bid. They were very reasonable and quick to respond. David Robertson was very professional and gave me a detailed breakdown of labor and materials so I could make a valid comparison to other proposals. They completed the job quickly as promised and came back to add more irrigation to additional plantings after their initial visit.
Description of Work: Replaced and repaired perimeter drip line on two acre property. Added drip line and emittors to cover new plantings.

David returned my call for an appointment the next business day and showed up to assess the damage and give me an estimate right at the scheduled time. He was very professional and explained in detail what he felt was the best way to tackle the job. He gave me his worst case scenario and the cost if everything needed to be done. We set a start date however he called me and said he had time to do my job several days before I was expecting him and wanted to know if it was OK for him to start, I gave him the go ahead and he showed up with his crew right on time. He and his crew went right to work and it was amazing to see how quickly they got the job done. While there I also had him run a new line for additional sprinkler heads and a line for a spigot in my backyard. He finished the work under the estimated cost and in one day. He cut the sod out before digging and when he replaced it you can't even see where he dug. They cleaned up so well it was hard to see where they had worked anywhere in the yard. I could not have asked for a better experiance.
Description of Work: I have had my driveway replaced and some of the sprinkler system along the edge of the driveway got damaged. David had to bore under my driveway to replace the PVC pipe and replace several other lengths of PVC along with some sprinkler heads. While he was there I had him run some new lines for additional sprinkler heads and a line for a spigot in my backyard.

Dave and one crewman systematically went through a cycle of evaluation and diagnostics and discovered a landscaper had cut through some wires that were in some ivy. He replaced the old worn out and cut wires and connectors for a good part of the system to ensure better reliability and replaced one defective head. Knowledgeable, prompt, courteous and efficient, he zipped in and out within an hour. Definitely would recommend and use again if the need arose.
Description of Work: Based on reviews I selected Ecosystems to perform a diagnostic and repair on my irrigation system. The job entailed rewiring a couple zones and replacing one sprinkler head.

David and his crew did a superb job in repairing my entire irrigation system.
Description of Work: I had David do major repairs to my irrigation system. He replaced the pressure regulator, the cut-off valve and all the irrigation valves. When finished, he refilled the dug out areas and left everything very neat and clean. No time was wasted on the job and everything was done to perfection.

The owner of the company has extensive education, training, and experience in landscaping and irrigation (even a degree or two!). David is knowledgeable, responsive, trustworthy, friendly and easy to work with. After fixing the major leaks, I did find a couple of smaller leaks. David came out the next day to handle them and only charged a small amount for the extra work. They did such a good job for the HOA, that I hired him to come out the next week and do some repairs on our own system.
Description of Work: Installed pressure reducer, fixed major leaks, replaced broken heads at Subdivision entrance.

I emailed David about a month earlier (July) and he said that they were very busy and he would probably not be available for a few weeks. I emailed again a few weeks later and got a call from Taylor. I met Taylor at my house later that day. He checked out the irrigation system and found a few leaks in the drip line and fixed them, and he fixed a few sprinkler heads. He also pointed out the problem with my outdoor lighting is weak connectors between the lights and the low voltage line. He fixed two of them and then showed me how to fix the others. Great service and great price, he did all this work in an hour, and he was very helpful in explaining what he was doing. I highly recommend, just try to avoid installation/maintenance in early summer when they are very busy.
Description of Work: Needed maintenance on our automatic irrigation system and outdoor lighting. They repaired electrical connections on several outdoor walkway lights. Also replaced some sprinkler heads and fixed some leaks in our drip irrigation line.

The work was easy on us, professional, and prompt. We had complete confidence in this company and we wouldn't call anyone else.
Description of Work: Our lawn sprinkler system broke down this year. The first "zone" area was the only one that would work. We called Ecosystems and they came out as soon as they could, even during this busy summer season. He had all the right equipment and quickly found and solved the problem, even though our system is quite old.

My overall experience was excellent. Entire story is included above.
Description of Work: After a very bad experience with a landscape company (failure to perform maintenance resulting in exhorbitant water bills and an injury due to failure to turn off irrigation system in December- which was expected), I engaged Ecosystems because of the good rating on Angie's List. They told me it might take three weeks to get to me because of the backlog, and they were here after about two weeks. The technician spent two hours evaluating the problem and explained in detail what he had done as well as giving me a written report. He found the source of a huge leak that had caused me to have $400 water bills and fixed that. He spent two or three hours with another worker to get the system in shape (e.g. removing water heads where they were not needed and repairing defective ones, replacing a poorly installed battery operated head by correctly installing a pipe under the driveway. He was professional and very nice. I am thrilled to have people I trust to do this work. I plan to contract with them to maintain the system.

I called Dave based entirely on the Angie's List reports. He was working in the neighborhood that week and came by to evaluate the job. I followed his visit with an email confirming the services needed. Dave responded within the week with a very reasonable quote. Unfortunately I was out of town when he scheduled his crew, but my wife handled it. The work was performed as promised. The attention to detail was incredible. When I returned home later in the afternoon I could not tell any work had been done except for the light outline of where one trench was dug. All sod, landscape materials and earth were pristinely returned to their original condition. On top of all that, I found the price to be far more reasonable than other providers I have used, more knowledgeable too.While we got off to a slow start, it being both of our busy seasons, the work was done and was done well. I would use EcoSystems again and recommend to anyone that were to ask.
Description of Work: Installed new, more efficient sprinkler heads on one part of my system. Located and marked all valve boxes for the entire system as I had purchased the house recently and could not locate them. Searched for a leak in the system. Added two zones to some new beds and sod recently installed.

They offered an service date within 2 days. Showed up on time and checked the system, repaired the leaking sprinklers and added a rain sensor. Very professional and sympathetic service. They did a lot of explaining and I got the sense that they are more interested to win a new customer and establish a longterm relationship than making a quick win.
