Great! Brad is easy to work with, thorough, knowledgeable, and willing to share that knowledge and provide helpful suggestions. All that and reasonably priced, too! No question that we'll use him for future landscaping needs!

Brad was great at getting back to me regarding any questions I had between the estimate and work date. He was very professional as was the staff. I have noticed a few negative reviews here directed towards landscape companies; do keep in mind that during busy seasons, it may take a day or two to get a response, as most are small companies. Sometimes it is easier to ask questions via email. With that said, Brad was great at responding same day and was professional every step of the way. Brad and his staff did a amazing job. My yard is better than imagined it would be.
Description of Work: I had artificial turf, tree, paver boarder, patio and bark put in my back yard. The yard is a decent sized yard with a steep hill.

The only problem was in how long it took for them to start. I understand it was their busy season, but they didn't get to us until almost 3 months later than the six weeks they initially said. Once they arrived and began they did good work. They finished in about 7-10 days. The lawn grass and other plants are doing fine. They were willing to adjust the price for work that wasn't done and some extra that was. I would use them again, but I would adjust the window of time in which to expect them.

They did a great job locating the leak, making sure utility companies identified underground utilities before digging, and then identifying and repairing the leak. It took them a while to return my initial phone call, but after that they were prompt, professional, and effective. I would definitely use them again.

After getting estimates from four different companies (the bids varied by over $1000) I chose By the Yard. They weren't the lowest, but I appreciated Brad's eagerness in winning the business and commitment to a quality job. A little hiccup in connecting to schedule, but the job was completed earlier than scheduled. Brad's team were professional and hard working.

Installation went well. Area was left neat and clean. The valves are neat and tidy, The AVB (anti-backflow) are parallel and the irrigation box was relocated to accommodate the change in plumbing. Brad was able to reuse my existing box, saving me money. I am very satisfied with the work Brad and his team did.
Description of Work: Replace broken electric sprinkler valves and install anti backflow devices. This is during the busy startup season.

Our usual company wanted $1200 to replace our valves and actuators. I called By the Yard for a 2nd opinion, because the other company seemed overly anxious to do the work immediately, even though I would not be available on the days they proposed. I called By the Yard and left a message to request service. I was called back within a day to schedule an appointment. Brad came out today, bypassed the broken part with a t-piece and moved one sprinkler head in 30 minutes or less. He knew immediately that the valve that the other company wanted to replace was not necessary (it was leftover for irrigating grass that was replaced by zeroscaping). I wanted to share this because I appreciated Brad's honestly and knowledge. I would have paid what was necessary to fix our system, but like most of you, I don't like throwing away money for someone's else's greed or lack of knowledge.
Description of Work: I wanted to recommend By the Yard Landscapes and Irrigation. We previously had been using another Irrigation company for servicing our system since we moved here. Recently, I recognized a leak in one of the valves/actuators.

Hello [Member Name Removed], we have responded to each of your two calls by leaving a message on your home machine. I also called the morning you posted here and left another message on your home machine. I'm sorry we have missed one another but since we are both busy, an email or cell phone call, may be a better point of connection. Sorry for any inconvenience. Brad 239-8002 cell.

Extremely well, they were very prompt both times I used them and did a very professional. The manifold and sprinkler valves were a major effort due to somewhat irregular installation 38 years ago. Al work was done totally to my satisfaction. The price was extremely reasonable. Will certainly use them for a future sprinkler repair or landscape changes.
Description of Work: Dec, 2017 - Replaced a leaking shut-off valve to a large sprinkler system. Replaced sprinkler valves, distribution manifold and re-connect to two zones of sprinklers and two zones of bubblers.

Brad was great. Very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. Not only did he fix my problem, but had recommendations to improve conditions around some of my trees and, when I asked him, he had some impressive ideas about an additional patio/ outdoor grilling area. I will definitely use him for my outdoor expansion
Description of Work: Recently purchased a house with existing sprinkler system. I've have 3 homes with these systems and was not able to get this one to work. Called late morning and Brad returned my call that afternoon. After explaining my problem, he thought it could a simple fix and came out an hour later! The main issue was a minor wiring problem that he corrected.

Great. Brad is very responsive and knowledgeable, and works quickly. A broken valve for one zone was replaced ending a leak at one head; sprinkler heads were re-directed for maximum coverage; an unneeded and unused drip zone was de-activated.

Brad Jacobsen is outstanding: he responded promptly to my call; his assessment of the work was thorough, precise, and professional; his bid was clear, promptly delivered, and fairly priced; his crew did the work exactly as specified and left the work site clean; and Brad's walk-through with me after the job was meticulous and thorough, to be sure that the work was done right. Brad is a true professional in every way. In a market where many contractors unfortunately do not have the client's satisfaction as their first concern, Brad is a welcome exception. And it is reassuring to know we have found a contractor with such high standards whom we can trust to do the job right in future projects.

If you're looking for professional sprinkler and landscaping services, you will find By the Yard to be the place to call if you want The job done right.
Description of Work: I have had work done twice by By The Yard. The first one was very extensive and complicated. They had to separate my irrigation system from my neighbors. Brad and his crew couldn't have done a better job. The second job, getting my drip system to work, was done quickly and I couldn't be happier with the results.
