Cost of extra parts was excessive and a key leak was missed. A week after my next door neighbor complained that my system had been flooding the side of his yard since the summer before (when I bought the property. The leak was not easy to see since the outflow was away from my property under a thorny schrub, but the system was his to review and repair. That repair cost over $100 to remove the scrub, dig to the pipe break, and cap.
Description of Work: Technician adjusted several sprinkler heads, plugged an obvious leak by the front sidewalk, and repaired a couple of drip tube breaks.

Response from WaterQuest Inc
I’m sorry Member was not happy with his experience. When we review a system we rely on input from the client as to possible problems. As Mr. Henderson stated the problem was not easily seen. We reviewed the system and make small repairs. For 1 hour of service with parts the total cost was $44.75 plus tax. When the Member was made aware of the leak he choose not to call us for the repair, so we never had a chance to deal with the problem; so I can not speak to the issue of over $100 to repair that leak, that work not done by WaterQuest. We work hard to maintain out high ratings.

I contacted them because they offered a coupon through Angie's List for $39 for a sprinkler system repair or tune-up. I knew from using sprinkler repair services in the past that a minimum charge to come out was around $70 in my area so this was a valuable coupon. I contacted them, they scheduled me very quickly. The technician came out on time and completed the replacement of the one broken sprinkler head in less than 30 minutes. I was very pleased with the quality of the work.

Waterquest helped me shut down my system in the fall. Come spring, I couldn't figure out how to turn the system back on. Waterquest came out and reset everything for me. The only problem I have is that they send a bill out for the taxes after they perform the service. I think they should collect this when they come out as it is a hassle to have to pay a separate bill.

We worked with Landscape Designer Jackie Hall and the experience was excellent! She came out to the house, walked and measured the yard and discussed what we wanted and what our budget was. A few days later we got a plan with a price estimate. Since her visit we found a design in a magazine that we liked and after giving her links to that design, she modified her original design and gave us new estimates based on the design we liked. After a little more discussion, a final plan was agreed upon and we signed the contract.Work started on May 1 and Rito (sp?) was the supervisor of a 3 person team that worked at our house. He and his crew worked quickly, cleaned up after themselves and were very respectful. Even though I had told them to just come into the house if they needed to ask me something, use the restroom or get a drink, they knocked every time. They were there every morning at 8 am as they said they would be and got right to work. During the 4 days they were working Jackie stopped by several times and always made sure to check and make sure I was happy with the progress and the crew's work. She was very careful to listen to us and as we'd asked, made sure that the shrubs and trees planted required little to no maintenance.When I saw 3 guys I really never expected they'd finish by the end of the week, but they finished on Friday the 4th of May. They did a fantastic job and made sure to check with me a few times to make sure I was still happy with what was happening and to ask if I had any questions. They also realized as they were adding the irrigation in the back yard that the drip system's timer wasn't working so they replaced that for us.We still have a walk-through coming up with Jackie where she'll go over everything and give us all the information on caring for our shrubs and trees. That will be later on this week, but I'm sure it will go just as smoothly as the rest of the project.
Description of Work: Remove weeds, level back yard (sand), add drainage, add drip irrigation, add pavers, stones, pour concrete slab, install artificial turf and plant trees and shrubs.

The worker arrived on time. Had to go purchase the valve. Did not charge for the time to get the valve. Started as soon as he returned from purchasing the valve. A lot of digging had to be done in order for him to access the valve. He was here for most of the day. Did a fine job overall. The price was very fair. If we have to have anymore work done on our sprinkler system, we will use Water Quest.

Haven't started work, still in bidding phase
Description of Work: I met Susanna and Jackie at a home show. Susanna came out the next week, reviewed the plans we had, walked thru , took measurements and pictures. She made numerous suggestions and was very helpful. She came back with pictures and samples within a couple of weeks, and Jackie came along as well. They had pictures and quotes for the work we requested and samples of pavers as well. After discussing the pictures, they went back and redid the pictures and came out again. We still had questions, so Susanna met us to show us the pavers at the supplier and also came back out and walked thru the plans again with us. Our project involves overlaying concrete patios with pavers or concrete to make the entrances wheelchair accessible. It requires very careful grading and placement of pavers. It also involves a long paved sidewalk to provide egress from the house in case of fire. Last but not least, there will also be a retaining/decorative wall in the front to hold the backfill necessary to make the front patio level. So far, they have not received a dime from us, but they have gone above and beyond to help us more clearly define the project. They have researched different materials and been very patient. We have yet to choose who will be doing the work, but Water Quest is clearly the top contender. The total project will be around $20,000.

I was not very satisfied with them. This was a deal when they come over and look over the system. The person who came in did not know what he was supposed to do. I paid Angies List $35 for the service. Price wise I guess it was good deal. But this was a deal not up to the standard. They were punctual not very professional. They had deal and maybe I misinterpreted what it was. There was a deal and I don't think the deal worked out very well.

Response from WaterQuest Inc
I’m sorry Member was not happy with her experience. We ran a fall winterization promotion. In listening to client feedback we found some clients were not happy with the experience. We’ve had great success with our grounds cleanup promotion, we thought we would offer the same for irrigation repairs. While we’ve been in the repair business for 18 years and have many happy clients. The repair promotion did not go over well. Possibly due to clients expectations that we could fix anything in one hour. In any event, we will not offer that promotion again, due to poor feedback from our clients. We work hard to deliver more that clients expect. Maintaining the highest rating is important at WaterQuest. We feel one of our secrets is listening to our customers.

The estimator was apparently not a regular landscape worker for the company although he claimed to be able to do the job on his own. He did not give me a written estimate, but suggested that it would be very expensie to repair the watering system. I was very disappointed in the lack of information. He did shake one of my fruit trees, apparently dead, and peeled off a large chunk of bark -- this without any permission from me. THis was unrelated to the purpose of his visit. It appeared to me that this company was not seriously interested in the work that I needed done, although they did not fail to send me an extra bill for the gross receipts tax due on the $35 I paid for this and quot;estimateand quot;.

Sorry for the confusion, the deal was for irrigation repair. We normally don't do estimates for irrigation repairs onsite. We do offer what we call a telephone estimate, which is usually very accuate.

Very well. Men worked steadily. Asked questions, as necessary. Supervisor, Susannah, stopped by more than once to check on progress, ensure my satisfaction. She was available by phone for workers to ask questions and report on progress. DO use sand under pavers. I didn't have any available and can't remember if we discussed it. The pavers were well positioned to begin with and the workers actually used a level to ensure positioning; however with settling a few of the pavers are cracking. I can live with it, but if you want a perfect walkway over a long period of time, do use sand as a base.

It took a long time to get the estimate. But the work was performed as promised and in a timely fashion. They were professional and responded when I had questions. They cleaned up completely when they left and I was very happy with the finished product. Jackie was very helpful with suggestions regarding design and seems very knowledgeable about appropriate plants. It was expensive but not dramatically more than other estimates I received and their professionalism was worth it.

We have not decided yet if we will have them actually do the landscaping or not. All landscapers that have been out to give estimates have all had different suggestions in reguards to the yard.
Description of Work: I called WaterQuest for an estimate after seeing them at the home show on the fair grounds. They were prompt at setting a appointment. We spent about an hour going over the landscaping that we wanted done and he went over our options. They were prompt getting the estimate back to us in a matter of days.

I had a friendly, professional consult about pre-planned choices for front yard. The job was performed quickly and efficiently. We were pleased with the results. About 10 years we contacted the company about landscaping the backyard. There was not the same enthusiasm to discuss ideas and plan the job. I felt we may not have been profitable enough; they probably do larger, more complex professional jobs and we were not that level.

We bought a brand new house and they had provided the landscaping for the front yard. We contacted the gentleman who owns the company and he came out within that week to find out what kinds of things I wanted in the backyard. Within another week he had a plan that he emailed to me. I looked that over and told him to have it done. He gave me a date when he thought they would be able to start. He said that once they started they would not go to any other project until they finished our project and that is exactly what happened. His crew was very efficient and they worked very hard. They put in everything that we liked. I think their price was fair in comparison to other landscapers. We would use them again in the future.
Description of Work: We had WaterQuest landscape the backyard which included rocks, plants, trees, a water element, lighting and an addition to our patio. They also did hardscaping and pavers for us. The water feature they installed is not exactly a pond but it's like a little fountain and then it's a waterfall.

Very well. Robert is very responsive and professional. His employees are proficient and professional, as well. We will contact WaterQuest for all future landscape design, clean up, and installation.
Description of Work: A previous contractor did not test existing sprinkler irrigation system after completing extensive landscape design work. Many lines were split and leaking. Another contractor flatly refused to offer a guarantee on trees due to the problem and became very belligerent and uncommunicative (even though he could have been hired to fix the situation). I called WaterQuest and all was solved. Robert's technicians located and fixed the leaking hoses and ensured they were located to the trees and plants they were intended for. Thereafter, I asked WaterQuest if it would pick up, deliver, and plant large trees I had previously arranged for the other contractor to do. They did so enthusiastically and the trees are doing very well. WaterQuest's rates are so much more reasonable compared to other contractors we have hired.

We met Water Quest at a Home Show and loved the display they had. They were one of four landscapers we considered. Receiving two quotes for the same design Water Quest came in about $4,000 cheaper. The the other two either didn't call back until the work was done or said they would call back and never did. I provided a general idea of what I wanted in the design, they supplied an electronic and paper version, discussed more details and had it planned perfectly! Not only that, they had great suggestions to add more to the yeard that didn't cost me more. I was able to go to the nursery with them to select the plants which was wonderful because the nursery had wonderful suggestions. The work started on time and was completed a day early. There was follow up work, very minor in that a sprinkler had to be adjusted but they were responsive and have been back to make adjustments. Even add a little touch up with rocks I requested. My only recommendation is that you have the landscaper provide samples of gravel they will be installing. I asked for crushed gravel and it is a little closer to dirt. But I feel it is my fault for not asking for a sample. It still looks good. The end result is beautiful and we are enjoying it very much!

I didn't submit this report for awhile because it took awhile to figure out the extent to which they ripped me off and took advantage of my lack of knowledge. First of all, as I mentioned, they gave bad advice about the pine tree drip system. Second, they tried to charge me over $100 for a timer that I found sells for around $19. They did reduce that to about $50 when I complained that the technician told me that it would cost about $50. Third, and the reason for submitting this report is that I have suspected for awhile that there was actually nothing wrong with my first timer. Last night I figured out how to hook it up, and it works fine. Either the technician knows less than I do about sprinklers (and that's almost nothing) or he lied to make more money. Either way, I am extremely upset and feel very taken advantage of.
Description of Work: I called them because I had just bought a house and couldn't figure out how to get the timer to control the sprinklers. They replaced the timer, changed the drip system around my pine tree to put out less water (almost killing it), and dawdled around wasting time.

We try hard to be fair and do good work. When that does not happen, we try hard to make it right. It is possible that there was a misdiagnosis. That technician does not work with us anymore. We have implemented a Quality Control follow-up program, to improve our service. I always encourage clients to let us know when there is a problem. If we don’t know about the problem it’s hard to fix them. We will continue to try to improve our service. Robert Biernacki General Manager
