Another reviewer said they were told the compost used wouldn’t support grass growth, but our backyard is *lush* after a month. A couple sod edges turned brown immediately after install, but before too long everything was established and very green. Both times I called Mike was able to come within two business days, which I was completely not expecting. Mike and his guys were friendly and professional, and worked extremely hard for us, even removing over a ton of concrete buried under our lawn. His business model is very straightforward and no nonsense. Tell him what you want and he will do it, but yes, if it adds work or hauling it will increase the cost. With contracting, most people are probably used to getting a bid, and unless something crazy happens the price doesn’t change. With Mikes model it might feel like “nickel and dimeing”, but that’s what happens with transparent pricing - you get what you pay for and you pay for what you get. Couldn’t be happier with our yards, and the quality and effort of the team. read less

Nice guys and Mike was upfront about costs. Got the job done right away. Happy with the results.

The crew showed up on time (even a few minutes early, actually) and got right to work, pulling up the old grass and weeds, and tilling the soil. They then wheeled in the compost and tilled the soil again to get a good mix, which is what my area really needed. Halfway through laying the sod, I decided that I wanted a Ficus tree removed from the area, and the crew chopped it down and removed the huge roots within an hour or so. They even used the chainsaw to break down the tree into smaller, more manageable pieces since I decided to dispose of it myself to save a few bucks. It was pretty amazing watching them work. Within a couple of hours my backyard looked unrecognizable in the best way possible. Definitely recommend RotoTillerGuy to anyone who is looking to revamp their yard. I plan to use them again once it's time to make over our front yard. read less

I had originally met with several different landscapers to have my front and back lawn redone. I went with Mike because he was very responsive and was transparent about his work and pricing. He also took the time to walk me through the process and answer all my questions. Each day Mike and his crew arrived on time and worked hard to finish within just a few days. It has been over a month and my lawn continues to look beautiful. A month after the project I noticed a minor leak in the valve. Mike responded right away and fixed the problem the next day. I would definitely recommend him! read less

He supplied us with great quality sprinklers and re-PVC’d the whole backyard because the pipes were not the correct size. We had gopher proof wire mesh rolls installed under the topsoil. He gave us a great price and did the work in two days. His website gives additional helpful instructions on when and how often to water your sod. Best Landscaper Near Me.

Before Mike, I had had the worst time getting a leaking sprinkler on the side of my house fixed. I had a gardner promise to fix it who never did and a plumber tell me there was nothing wrong despite a giant puddle on the side of my house.

If you are having any sprinkler issues, do not call a plumber - call Mike! He showed up (with another helper, Evan) and was immediately clear that he was very knowledgeable and experienced. He and Evan worked hard to fix the leak and raise up my valve system so any future problems could be easily noticed and fixed. He also spent the time to teach me about the system as we inherited the house and I didn't know a thing. I now feel very confident in making changes and minor fixes myself! He went above and beyond when he offered to talk to the plumbing company that told me there was no leak (when I was clearly able to see the leak that was creating the giant puddle once Mike dug it out and showed me.)

While he was here, I also asked about a smart timer and he advised me about a rebate that would help pay for it. I asked him if he could install one for me and he went to Home Depot and had it installed that day! I just had the rebate he suggested approved and it paid for the new timer. While the rebate didn't cover installation, it was well worth it to have Mike do the job. He made it super easy and helped walk me through getting it all set up. Now, not only do I have my annoying leak fixed but I can also control my sprinklers with Alexa, see how each zone is doing water wise, and save money through smart weather based watering. Mostly my lazy self is just super excited that I never have to go behind the house and mess with programming an annoying timer again.

To top it all off, Mike also hauled compost over and filled up some flower beds I was wanting to mulch!

I will for sure call again in the future if we need any sprinkler work and recommend to my neighbors. read less

I needed about 2600 sqft cleared in our back yard for a new lawn and corresponding irrigation. I used his online bid estimate which was very accurate and he reached out to me immediately. Mike and his crew got the job done in 2 days and even came out on the 4th of July to make sure everything was completed as needed. He also walked me through the new sprinkler system and helped me set up the wireless watering app on my phone. The new lawn he put in looks great and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for landscaping. Best Landscaper Near Me read less

The lawn thins out in the shaded areas and turns brown sometimes in the sunny areas.. especially where my dog urinates, but overall it's been pretty resilient. I've over-seeded in the fall and it came back pretty lush in the spring. I do all the yard care myself post-installation, so it probably would look even better if I had a dedicated lawn-care expert maintaining it. But I'm very pleased with the job Mike and his guys did, and love having a cool relaxing backyard for my daughter and family to enjoy. read less

I discovered a leaking sprinkler head on a Saturday evening a day before a week long trip. I've worked hard to keep the lawn nice and green during the summer heat. Therefore, I had to decided whether to turn off the sprinkers for a week risking brown grass upon my return or find an after hours irrigation specialist and pay an exorbitant amount to fix it. I chose the lader. I called several companies before reaching Mike. In fact I was surprised that he even answered the phone at 7:30pm.  Mike was very kind and offered to try to troubleshoot the issue via the phone. He requested that I send him pictures so that he could better access the problem. He was able explained the issue and proposed a solution since I was limited with time due to travel, Mike provided me with a list of items with pictures to purchase from the hardware store and detailed step by step instructions to fix the sprinklers and valve.

He and his crew came out to my house a couple days ago. They rototilled and amended and put in sod. They worked around some very "creative" plumbing from my previous sprinkler system. The Orbit B-hyve timer that he installed is a pleasure to use and he gave me the receipt so I can send it in for a rebate. Most importantly, a day after the job was done when some of that pre existing plumbing started causing an issue he came out and fixed it for me. I was a little nervous doing an online quote because I don't know all the ins and outs of the job but he came in at or under the price he quoted me and he was very mindful of our budget and told us about every issue that might change the price-he's the kind of person that you can easily say I can't afford to do that and he'll just be like okay so we won't do it . So don't be scared of that. Good Landscaper Near Me read less
