Really well. Our previous backflow prevention had a slow leak that we finally had replaced (it was plastic and we replaced it with a brass unit). Lone Oak was able to replace ours at a reasonable price and it's been working great with no leaks.

We bought a home last August the company sent a guy out to check backflow without asking us or without calling us to set something up. My wife called and said there was some guy messing with our sprinkler system I told her to go out and ask who he was. He says that his boss sent him out to do the work that we never asked for. Now into 2018 (8months later) they are extorting me to pay a bill for work I never asked for or gave authorization to do. When I called and spoke to Bob B he argued with me and said fine don't pay it. Now they are trying to extort me again by telling me I have to pay the bill. I'm not paying a bill that I never asked for nor never signed any paper work had no idea who the guy was or what he was doing real professional I would not recommend or use this company ever you don't just show up to a home and do work without consulting the home owner prior to doing any work. Down right rude company.. You pretty much trespassed onto our property and did work that no one acknowledged and were done by the time my wife was able to adke who you people were. I was at work and got a phone call from her saying some guy was outside messing with our property. Now you wanna extort my family for money and lie and say we approved it. I did talk with my lawyer and everytime you mail me a bill that dose. Or pertain to me it is mail fraud along with harassment there was no signed work order form any one you showed up and did work for the previous home owner that had a contract with your company not me nor my wife. You can't just show up at a homeowners and perform services that were not asked for without a signed agreement or work order good luck
Description of Work: We never hired this company!

Response from Lone Oak Irrigation
The work was done and approved by [Member Name Removed] and his wife. His wife was on premises. They gave verbal approval for the work. None of our customers sign work authorizations except on installations. I originally took [Member Name Removed] at his word that no one was around when the work was done, that is why I was going to waive the bill. When I talked to the subcontractor that did the work, I learned a different story. The work was performed per Wisconsin law for registration and testing of backflow devices. And was done in good faith. [Member Name Removed] just does not want to pay for it and the bill unfortunately will be entering our collection process.

We are a small condo association in St Paul. Lone Oak was selected to install our irrigation system after consulting with 4 or 5 providers. Bob and his staff could not have been more professional, competent and courteous during the installation phase. The project came in under budget despite some unforeseen obstacles encountered during the installation phase. We could not be more pleased with our new system - the entire experience felt left a true partnership with great communication by Lone Oak during this phase. As promised, our lawn was better than ever within a short period of time. Bob Blaufuss and Company represent Quality, Value and most of all INTEGRITY in their business affairs. I whole hearted recommend Lone Oak Irrigation and would be happy to share my experience first hand with you. Yours truly, John McCauley Board member, Panama Flats South Condo Assn.

So I'm a bit of a researcher. I've been looking forward to installing an irrigation system for a long time, so I contacted 5 different highly-rated companies from Angie's List to get bids. Then I (admittedly, neurotically) created a spreadsheet to evaluate them based on the equipment used, their (apparent) knowledge of the industry, their recommendations about number of zones, number of heads per zone, concerns about water pressure, and other things. I also evaluated price, Angie's List discounts, and whether they might give a discount for paying in cash. I gave some additional credit to folks I liked (but not much), and had a couple of follow-up questions for a couple of the contractors after our initial walk-throughs. I LOVED THESE GUYS. Bob, the owner, is deeply knowledgable. He came up with a great plan, explained it well to me, responded promptly to my email follow-ups, and happily coordinated with another contractor I was working with (a hydroseeding company called TC Hydro-Seeding, Inc... also awesome) to coordinate the timing and install. They were here as agreed. Bob and 2 staff got the system installed in about a day and a half (one afternoon and much of the following day). He rerouted the tubing for one head at my request (after he had already installed the pipe the first time), and was exceptionally helpful, personable, and competent. They cleaned up well, marked everything cleanly, and even helped solve a couple of other problems that arose (GRRRR, COMCAST). He explained our new system to me in detail. All in all, this was a flawless experience. I trusted him from the beginning, believe in the products he chose for the install, and recommend him (and the company) without reservation. As for pricing, he was almost exactly in the middle of the 5 bids I received, but he used the same top-end equipment that the higher bids claimed were their cost-differentiating features. Use this company. Top shelf.
Description of Work: Installed a 9-zone irrigation system, plumbing to go along with it, added a faucet on a raised vegetable bed, and upgraded to Solar Sync rain sensor in a 1/3 acre residential yard.

Originally we were trying to add to a new system, it just didn't' work. We decided we needed to re-do it. They put me off for weeks and weeks. I fired them, they called back and asked for me to give them another chance. I called them a few weeks ago and told them that there were several things broken that needed to be done, they never called me back. They always got to me at the end of the day, I felt like an afterthought to them and not an important customer. They would frequently not show up, or show up late.
Description of Work: They did my spring start up. I have been using them for 4 years.

I have not gotten the bill for that service yet. I have been using them for about three months now. They redid what another guy really messed up. They were fabulous. They quoted me a price and it was right on the money. They are a good company.

We had some trouble at first, and I was ready to use someone else. However, the owner called me afterwards and was very apologetic and honest about the mistakes they made. He then offered to install the system at half off to make up for everything, and it ended up being a good job.

Great. Bob showed up to supervise the work of his employees. There were no issues and the new system works great.
Description of Work: Upgraded/fixed our in-ground, automatic sprinkler system. We had an existing system that was installed by the previous homeowner. There were many issues with the old system which I had tried to get addressed with a couple of other irrigation companies before I finally contacted Lone Oak Irrigation. Bob came out to our house and he impressed me with his overall knowledge and specific recommendations for our yard. I think the amount of work he ended up doing was more than he originally planned but he stuck to his quoted price which really impressed me.

They were recommended to us by the company who installed our paver patio. Their price was about the same as 3 other companies we got bids from but they provided more sprinkler heads and more zones for the price. We had some difficulty communicating and setting a date for the installation but once they were on site they did a very good job. We have marginal water pressure and they adjusted the heads per zone to provide good coverage.

They came out and worked in the rain for a couple of hours to get the job done. It was freezing outside. They saved all of the main valve boxes and wiring so I was real pleased that none of that got ruined.

The installed system provided full irrigation coverage for my yard that supported growth even during the driest months of this past summer. The work was completed with very little disruption to the ornamental growing spaces.
Description of Work: Lone Oak Irrigation installed an irrigation system in my landscaped city lot which involved maneuvering around many obstacles such as sidewalks, driveway, retaining wall, boulevards, contoured and raised beds as well as roots from mature trees.
