Although all of these on-line independent reviews sites can be a double edged sword and can really work against a business; the fact that they are reviews from real customers and I have no control over what gets said, other than to put our best foot forward and just doing the best job possible each and every time, and yet I am able to maintain a positive standing. It should say an awful lot, seriously, it’s tough to make people happy enough to spend the time to write a positive review.
Especially when as the business owner you know that only one out of 20 satisfied customers will take the time to even write a sentence long review, but that even the most slightly upset customer will be sure to write a novel about how we may have mistakenly collected their $10.00 shovel by accident at the end of an otherwise spectacular transformation. Seriously, we have enough shovels, we don’t need yours, it was a mistake. Would you like a couple of ours ?
I guess it’s just human nature, to rant and complain rather than just ask if we have your shovel.

Detailed Review:
I called Mike on two occasions. The first was for a broken sprinkler valve. His guy walked me through everything in case I wanted to do the repair myself in the future. He was quick, thorough and competent.
The second was to resolve the noisy, banging pipes (AKA Water Hammer) running under my house. Although he couldn't do the job (his company's insurance didn't cover him for working under the house), he explained what it was and what to expect from a plumber. read less Dan R.1 year ago - Service was incredible.

He explained what was happening and what needed to happen. He was concise and calm and patient. He turned what was feeling like a nightmare to calm seas. In fifteen minutes we were done. Everything over the phone. And the most amazing part was he didn't even charge me. Not a dime.
I'm only sorry I never hired him to do my landscaping and sprinklers and all. But I hope whoever is reading this does. He took time out of his day on the Sunday of a long weekend to fix my issue.

I spoke with a gentlemen named Mike who was nice enough to explain what tool I needed to complete the work I had already started as it was a simple fix and to avoid spending extra money on a service call.

I found Mike's information on the internet, gave a call, and he said it sounded fairly simple and that it would not be worth my money to pay him his 'show up fee' and that he would walk me through fixing it myself. After exchanging a few photos, he sent me a shopping list linked to Home Depot and then talked me through the procedure. Halfway through I ran into a setback and called him again (which he answered while after hours and out with family/friends), and he gave me another suggestion that worked out perfectly. He could have easily come over, charged his show up fee and changed me way more than the job required, instead he talked me through the process after sending me the parts I needed and changed me $0. I highly recommend Mike and wish more businesses had these values and customer service. Thank you.

I'm going to try the repair on my own and I will not hesitate to contact Mike again, which he said to call him back if I needed more help.

More than half was dirt and weeds after we had the old shed and... continueOur backyard was a mess. More than half was dirt and weeds after we had the old shed and plantings removed. I debated for months with myself between having the lawn and sprinklers put in or buying a new rototiller and doing it myself. While looking for sales of rototillers, I came upon the Rototiller Guy and the easy-to-use estimate creator tool on his web page. I liked the prices it showed, so I messaged Mike. He called me back and said he and his crew could do the job the next Tuesday, March 23, 2021. I asked how long it would take and he said they'd be done before they left that day.
So I said let's do it.
On Tuesday, Mike and 3 other guys arrived promptly at 7am. They hand-picked the entire area, some 1100 square feet, rototilled it, raked out all the old irrigation pipes and sprinklers, grass, sod, and weeds and hauled it out. Next, 3 yards of compost was spread over the area to be sodded and rototilled into the soil, and leveled. 3 zones of irrigation were added, 2 zones for lawn sprinkling and 1 zone drip irrigation for future shrubbery.
The sod was delivered to the street but it was too late to roll it out (it was past 6 ). Mike and his crew came back the next morning at 7am and finished rolling out the sod. Mike suggested I put stabilized decomposed granite along the side of the house instead of trying to grow grass. I agreed and ordered 2 yard of stabilized DG as the supplier called it. Make and 2 guys came back on Thursday and spread and tamped down the stabilized DG and we were done.
Two weeks after the sod was installed, it is ready to mow. I've attached two photographs so you can see how well it is growing.
If I had decided to do this myself, I'd still be waiting for the rototiller to arrive and looking at many weeks of hard labor ahead.
Thanks to Mike and his experience and crew, I am out selecting my new shrubbery.
Thanks Mike! read less Jim B.2 years agoI called Mike to get a basic estimate and set up a quote for a small issue I was having... continueI called Mike to get a basic estimate and set up a quote for a small issue I was having with overspray on our street strip of grass. He was incredibly nice and professional, and rather than waste my money, told me how to fix the issue myself, talking me through it step by step, and then giving me guidance on what I could do for next steps if I chose to change out spray bodies. It's not that he didn't want the business, it's just that he didn't see a need for me to pay a contractor and contractor prices to fix my specific problem. I don't think I've seen honesty and care like this in a long while, and will be contacting him if I need a bigger issue fixed or changed with our irrigation system. Very impressed. read less

Mike could have easily come out and charged me his minimum fee to simply turn a lever but he didn't. He was honest and kind.

I was so impressed with his knowledge, his professionalism and desire to provide service above and beyond his need to make a profit.

I highly recommend his company and am just blown away with his generosity. He provided a very special helping hand during a stressful situation.

Called in different companies and all gave me different solutions. One company told me that i needed a pressure regulator for my sprinklers, which i already just had one installed for my house and that kinda puzzled me.
So now that i'm confused. So i decided to call one more company and i was so lucky to speak to Mike G of RotoTiller. After explaining to him what the issue was, he told me to text him pictures of my valve and then he called me back to tell me how to adjust the valve to see if that was causing the low pressure. I adjusted it per his instructions, and it did help a bit. He called me back to count the number of heads i have on that one valve and i had 15. He said it was too much and so he instructed me over the phone to get a small screw driver to turn off 3-4 heads because according to him, 1 valve should only have about 12 heads. So i did and it helped a little bit, but i also found out by doing this that one head was broken which was causing the water pressure to be low.
What an outstanding guy! Mike was so patient with me over the phone, FREE of charge and diagnosing the problem and explaining to me what needed to be done. So now, instead of getting a new pressure regulator, i just need to go to Home Depot to fix the broken head.

I think it works by trapping moisture at night and releasing it during the day via evaporation to keep it cool. Does it get hot? Well, yes, but only in very peak times when it's 100 degrees out and the sun has been beating down on it for a couple hours straight. And even then it's no worse than walking barefoot on hot sand or concrete (I know this because I've hopped back and forth from my concrete to turf during one really peak time, and they were equally hot.) If I water the turf, the Hydrochill does its magic and all is fine.

He is very upfront and straightforward, has his process dialed in, and has remained available for checking in and offering assistance as the sod settles in.
To the reviews that state Mike is "rude and unprofessional," that was not my experience. When I first called him, I wanted him to break from his process. He was clear that he would not do that, and of course, at first, I didn't like that. But look, Mike provides a quality, tested and proven method at a great price. When I did the research and realized what I was getting for what I was paying, it clicked, and I was thankful Mike didn't concede his quality for my ignorance.
They were fast, efficient and cleaned everything up nicely. read less O. P.3 years agoI had a problem with a broken sprinkler.

Mike was responsive and accommodating; the delivery was made on my schedule within a few days.
The compost had a little bit of trash in it (parts of horse tack, half a tennis ball), but overall it was just as advertised. I've mixed a little garden soil with the top 1-3" of wherever I'm planting and currently have grass and a nice little veggie garden thriving in my backyard.
Words of warning: This still has a good amount of only partially decomposed pellets that are VERY fibrous. I filled in a deepish stump hole, and a couple months later it is still kinda foamy/bouncy because of all the fibers still supporting it. Inversely, the same properties make it drain really well.
Overall, it was a lot of useful dirt at a good price. I'd use him again the next time I am in need of bulk soil. read less Nelson Doris3 years agoI had an issue with a leaky sprinkler valve and called Mike for a quote.

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.

The team showed up on time and got right to work, yanking out the old grass and weeds, and readying the soil for new growth. They then brought in the compost and worked the earth again to get a good mix of nutrients, which is precisely what my lawn needed. Halfway through laying the fresh sod, I decided that I wanted a Ficus tree removed from the area. The crew quickly chopped it down and removed the bulky 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.

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!

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 Chaviva Friedman5 years agoI called Mike(landscaper Near Me) for some advice on what to do with my landscape issues.

I am competent with plumbing repairs and have most of the tools needed to fix issues but I am not at all familiar with sprinkler systems. I originally reached out to Mike for an issue with a broken sprinkler head. After I described my problem and sent him a few photos, he spent 10+ mins on the phone explaining to me what I needed to buy and the best way to fix it. He even gave me some pointers on some common issues that I might have when trying to fix it and how to avoid them. Even though I was intent on having someone else fix it due to an overloaded schedule, the fix ended up being as simple as Mike had described and I had it fixed within 15 mins.
I sincerely appreciate Mike's willingness to get my problem fixed quickly and without running up a huge repair bill. I can honestly say I have never had an experience with a service company like this. Usually, they do not want to discuss the issue in too great of detail but would rather "get a technician to come out and assess it" right away. So, instead of a $300 repair bill, I was able to take care of it myself for less than $10 in parts. Thanks again for all your help, Michael! read less Zachary Dziczkowski5 years agoI had an excellent experience with the Rototiller guy.

He also walked me through the new sprinkler system and helped me set up the wireless watering app on my phone.

He was direct and helpful. Once he understood my sprinkler issues through his diagnostic-like questions, he then anticipated that I could replace my sprinkler valves by myself and he was willing to walk through with me on the phone with information and instructions on the replacement process. He even texted me with pictures of parts and stuff that I needed. This weekend I successfully replaced my sprinkler system and was extremely happy that everything is working great now. Mike could have charged hundreds of dollars for his service to fix my sprinkler problem but instead I saved all that money with his help. I have dealt with many unscrupulous service repair specialists in the past but Mike stands out as a service professional who has a deep sense of integrity and I felt he was genuine and honest in his responses to my questions and concerns.

With a lot of the headache I had last time working with 3 different vendors to break out the concrete, put in a sprinkler system, and lay sod, I decided to simplify and see if I could at least combine 2 of the 3 tasks with one vendor. Impressed with the reviews I saw on RotoTillerGuy, I started the process of doing the online bid. It was easy to use and explained everything, but since my project wasn't exactly the standard remove grass, put new grass in type job, I knew it wasn't exactly going to cost what was listed.
Mike contacted me and we went back and forth regarding the project. I had contacted other vendors but felt Mike was the best option based on quality of products used (No one else mixed compost into the soil which I really liked based on a soil study I read a couple of years ago -don't ask, I'm truly that lame- and the quality of the sod he acquires lined up when I researched the company) and Mike offered to break away and remove the concrete as well. Just to note, this is not an area of expertise for him and his crew as it did take longer than the previous vendor I used for my last yard so the cost was greater, but they did do an excellent job of removing the concrete.
The tilling, sprinkler work, and laying of sod was well executed and it's amazing how different our backyard feels with a nice green lawn. Mike was communicative throughout the whole experience letting me know with picture updates (when I was at work) the progress of his team. I really valued that. The guys on his team were also really easy to talk to, had great attitudes, and worked hard.
The kids are ecstatic and anxious to play on the new lawn and in a couple of days, we'll let them have at it! We'll be having a great summer of outdoor activities.

I decided to go with Mike after checking out his website and reviews because I liked how upfront he was with what his work entails and how much he'd charge for the job. That being said, you never know how people will be in person.
I couldn't be more pleased with the job they did. They showed up right on time, ready to go. They were thorough, professional, and courteous. I really do believe Mike is sincere when he says he works on clients' yards the same way he'd work on his own. The work is solid, and the final product is really beautiful.
Could I have put in my own sod? I don't know, maybe. But I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be anywhere as well done as this. There are somethings I'm willing to risk as a DIYer, but sometimes it's worth it to hire professionals. In my opinion, hiring Mike was the right move. read less Jenn Q.5 years agorototillerguy is Great landscaper near me.

On Saturday night I manually turned on my sprinklers and then attempted to turn them off. One zone would not shut off. I had to turn off the water for my entire house. The following day, on Sunday, I called Mike. He went out of his way and did me the huge favor of visiting my home. In simple English, he explained to me what the issue was (broken valves) and what needed to be done. He also explained how I can fix it. That Sunday, I took it on my own to fix it. It was tough but not too bad. To make things better, Mike also explained to me how to schedule and use the timer.

Thanks for taking the time Mike. read less Richard T.6 years agoI gave Mike, the "Rototillerguy", 5 stars as the rating system won't let me give them 10 stars! Mike and... continueI gave Mike, the "Rototillerguy", 5 stars as the rating system won't let me give them 10 stars! Mike and his crew (Martine, Felix, Ivan, Fred, etc.) delivered a fantastic, brand new 1,100 square foot tall Fescue lawn with Orbit sprinklers system to my parents home! What started out to be a simple front lawn/sprinkler installation turned into a monumental task for Mike & his crew (which they accepted). We had a 60+ year old Ficus tree removed a number of months ago by a local service company. A local tree service company removed the tree, a few roots and left a lot of sawdust. I had contracted two (2) additional service companies (i.e. "Landscapers") to remove the stump and roots, both of whom resorted to grinding the stump instead of my requested removal of it.
I went on Mike's Rototillerguy.com website and followed his easy instructions on creating an estimate online for a new lawn. As a retired Supply Chain Mgr for a major local aerospace company, Mike's estimate process answered all of my questions and gave me detailed process and cost information that helped me decide on giving Mike a call. Prior to my call to Mike, I did my due diligence and checked all of Mike's company references (BBB, D&B, past performance reports, etc.) and was impressed with the results. From start to finish of my new lawn, Mike kept in contact with me and was there (on site) throughout my whole process. He even delivered the horse "compost" himself late at night.
If you're familiar with Ficus trees, they destroy lawns, sidewalks, driveways, pipes and homes. Unbeknownst to me and Mike's crew, there were massive underground roots that had to be removed prior to lawn installation. Mike's team worked tirelessly for 2 days to remove (not grind) all of them, which turned out to be around 30% of the lawn composition and sometimes measured 6 ft long and 20 inches wide. The massive/twisted roots then lined one-half of our long driveway. Once that was done, Mike's crew raked the whole area, mixed the compost with the soil and installed/thoroughly tested the sprinkler system. Mike devised a plastic riser lever system that made all six Orbit sprinkler heads easily adjustable for lawn height and sprinkler access. The tall Fescue lawn sod was then laid by Mike's team, the sprinkler system retested and the results far, far exceeded my expectations! Mike gave me detailed instructions for lawn care (which are also available on his website) and I'm following them to the letter. Our new lawn lawn looks fantastic! All of the neighbors and anyone who walks by also agree!
Mike and his crew are hard working, dedicated and professional. They show up on time, stay late and get the job done. Their upfront estimate/pricing beats the 3-4 other companies that I contacted.

His website, which accurately itemizes and estimates the job, is very good. I was able to have his team working on my project in only one week from the time I spoke with Mike. Mike and his team showed up early in the morning and completed the entire job (removing old sod, rototilling, preparing the new soil/fertilizer, and laying the new sod) in only one day, The results were great, and his crew made sure to thoroughly clean my property of all dirt and debris after the job was done. His rate was also cheaper compared to other contractors -- in some cases much cheaper. I will add that Mike will order a little more sod than you estimate out of an abundance of caution. So, don't be alarmed. This is a good thing. The extra cost is minimal ($10 to $30), compared to the possibility that you may have underestimated the amount of sod you need. I had a little extra sod left over and Mike helped me to get rid of it at no cost. read less Clarence J.6 years agoThis review is based on the customer service I received with my contact.

I called Mike for help and he instructed me to text him the picture of the water valve. Then he called me back and told me to check if the wire is connecting well. The line that controls the front yard water valve seems loose. So I fixed it by stripping the wire and reconnect it tightly with other lines. It still doesn't work. Then I adjusted the lines at another side, then it works. So the root cause is indeed loose line connection. Thanks to Mike's suggestions and I saved a few hundred dollars.
