In less than one year I went through two lawns in my backyard at our new house. I just thought the sun was killing it. After a while I was able to bring it back somewhat. But it never really looked good. I searched around for someone to install a new lawn and found a lot of jokers. Then I found Mike. He was so such a straight shooter, knew exactly what was to be done and worked with me to save costs. His guys worked hard and were efficient. All in all a great job. Today, I have a beautiful lawn and it's saying green and full. I think the prior installations were just done incorrectly by landscapers who only dabble in lawns. Hire Mike. He's a pro.
Mike the RotoTillerGuy reliably came with his crew...on the day and time he said he would. His crew did a great job on completely tilling and rotating 1800 sq ft in my back yard, adding his "secret" soil enhancer, and additionally coordinated with a third party quality sod maker next day to deliver . It is pure brilliant to utilize nature's own fertilizer in creating a fertile environment for grass to grow and prosper...especially in today's drought-prevalent La Nina weather. Kudos to Mike for hauling in his prime ingredient from the LA Equestian Center. Brilliant...and I wish all the local expensive landscape companies would take notice!
It's been 4 weeks since he spent 1.5 days at my house installing 1,000 sq ft of lawn, replacing and moving sprinklers and lines, and even taking out a flower bed and shrubs and I'm very glad I hired the Rototiller guy. Mike is super hard working, responsive and a great communicator. Very patient with all of my many questions and even responding to my texts with watering questions after the job. His bid was a good deal lower than the other two I had obtained, but I often don't go with the lowest price out of concern for quality of service/materials. But I did go with him after his quick returned phone call, and his online bid creation was very fair and simple to use (very high tech for a landscaping company) and it gave me a lot of trust in him that I was able to purchase the sod directly from the supplier with his help and without markup.
