Why Us?

I was incredibly impressed with Mike's willingness to talk to me about my sprinkler system issues over the telephone. I... read more explained the issues that I have been experiencing, and he was immediately able to identify ways in which to rectify the problems. He suggested that, if I felt comfortable, I could undertake these repairs myself. The major benefit obviously being cost. He was happy to come out and fix these things himself, but I was encouraged by his honesty regarding how much money I could save by making the changes myself. We chatted for ten minutes about the process of the changes that I should make, and then Mike followed up with a series of text messages and pictures of the equipment that I needed. He also told me not to hesitate if I had any additional questions in the future.

It's not often that you come across, by telephone, someone so professional and honest. I really appreciate Mike's commitment to customer service, and I look forward to others having a similarly positive experience. read less

My wife searched for a company that could prepare and level our backyard ground for a large 18 foot above... read more ground swimming pool. In her search, she came across the RotoTillerGuy under landscaping. We read all of the great Yelp reviews and decided to view the website and services. Because of the extensive ground/soil preparation and pick axing that Mike performs, we decided to call the RotoTillerGuy. We explained to Mike the type of work we needed and although he had never performed this type of work he was very helpful and knew exactly what we needed and said that he and his team could do the job for us. We were pleased to hear this and went onto his website to create the online bid. The RotoTillerGuy website is great and it generates a bid instantaneously. Mike and his crew came to our house the day after the 4th of July. We couldn't believe that he was able to come out on a Saturday and on a holiday weekend! The bottom line is that Mike and his crew are awesome! Mike is honest, kind and provides excellent work for an outstanding price. We were amazed at the amount of work that was performed in the amount of time. The entire crew is extremely efficient and went above and beyond. If you are thinking about landscaping work, please do yourself a favor and call Mike. You will NOT be disappointed. read less

Mike was very personable honest and helpful. Highly recommended. I give him SIX stars! ******

Thank you so much for your expertise.

Mike was great! I called him up for a very small job up in Santa Clarita, and he was willing... read more and able to make the drive less than a week later. Was done in about 3 hours, very communicative and even fixed some of my sprinkler issues at no charge! Sod looks great, and I got to see the ground right before they laid the sod and he got the compost and dirt tilled up nice and deep. Very pleased with our new lawn and confident that it will last. Very accommodating and easy to work with. Thanks Mike! read less

Mike is an awesome person. Glad that we hired him. We had to remove lawn grass from around 250 sq.ft... read more of our yard and roto-till the patch to raise a veggie garden. A very well done job. Mike brought in a lot of compost to mix with the soil. The couple guys Mike brought with him were also good.

We were planning to have some sprinkler valves installed. Mike checked them out and made a lot of valuable suggestions that would save us a lot of money. That shows his honesty. He also gave us some helpful plumbing tips.

And his charge was very nominal. Thank you so much, Mike. read less

Just as an update, we had Mike come and redo our front lawn because we were so happy with his... read more work on the back yard. And he did a great job again! He is responsive and clear in the bidding process, and he is very helpful in talking through options about the sprinklers we could have used. He also cleared up a section that wasn't working properly, and I really appreciated his straightforward manner in dealing with every step of the process. I continue to recommend him. read less

We had a really good experience with Mike. He is very transparent and lets you know what to expect. Definitely... read more check out his website, it has a lot of information on their. And then make sure to follow-up with a phone call for any questions you have for him to clarify.

We do not have a large area, only about 500 or so sqft. We basically wanted to have sod in our yard, especially for our dogs. He was also able to work with what we had, which means helping us save money. He and his crew rototilled, composted, and added the sod. Basically everything he said he was going to do. We also had an existing watering/irrigation system that he was able to work with. He added sprinklers to the larger part of our yard. With the more narrow areas, he did the irrigation system so that we weren't wasting water watering the walls. It really worked out. Everything went pretty smoothly and only took about 1-1/2 days.

Mike also took the time to go over my sprinkler system, how to maintain the grass and optimize watering without overwatering. So helpful!

There was only the mishap were a few of our drains (we have a drainage system in our yard) were covered up with soil,compost, and sod. However, when we pointed it out to Mike, he quickly came over with a crew member to address it right away and took care of it.

It has been about 5 weeks since the sod installation and the grass is growing and looking great! At least where my dogs did not dig up 🙂 Loving it!

Overall, great experience with Mike and would definitely use him again for other projects. And would recommend him to others. read less

Almost a year later and my grass still looks amazing...

Green as the rainforest during a monsoon. Greener then Bruce banner... read more at the DMV. Green like a rowing competition of Oscar the grouch, and Kermit, vs master Yoda and Shrek down the Chicago river on st Patrick's day!

You get it... it's pretty green. "Super green" if you asked Chris tucker in the fifth element... ok ok I'm done.

Anyway rototill away man... rototill away. read less

Long overdue review.

3 years ago, my wife and I decided to start a raised bed vegetable garden and needed to... read more acquire some compost to get things going.  I contacted Michael based on yelp reviews (he services multiple areas) and was able to get a sh!tload (pun intended) of compost delivered quickly and efficiently.  I originally agreed to have 3 cubic yards of it delivered but ended up receiving more like 4+ cubic yards...much to my delight!  Not only did I have enough to fill my garden but I was able to spread it in all of my planters, on my lawns and even had a good amount leftover for my neighbor.  BTW, all of my veggies absolutely exploded!  Our tomatoes were off the charts in terms of size, yield, and taste and same goes for everything else we grew.  Basically, every vegetable, plant, and lawn round my house received a steroids in the form of Michael's compost.

A couple years had passed and we needed to top off our garden again but this time I went to Whittier Fertilizer because I only needed a small truck load o compost.  Let me tell you that was one of the worst ideas I ever made in regards to my crops.  First off, the compost was very sandy and full of other tid bits im not familiar with.  Second, about 70% of my veggies died within 2 months.

I immediately identified the problem as being the quality of compost - Never will I make that mistake again.  I shoveled out all of the crap compost and contacted Mike last week to have another delivery, which I just received this last weekend.  I want to thank Mike for his professionalism, his ability to quickly correspond, and of course for his excellent compost! read less

It's been two scorching summers in the Valley since Mike installed our sprinkler system and new sod in our half... read more shaded and half-cooking in the summer sun backyard.  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.

I would highly recommend Mike@RotorTillerGuy! I discovered a leaking sprinkler head on a Saturday evening a day before a week... read more 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. I was initally overwhelmed since I'll had never repaired the sprinklers before. However,  his instructions were so detailed and simple that i took the chance. I purchased the items and fixed my sprinklers in less than an hour.  Not only did I save $$$,  I sa... What Mike provided is truly unheard of. Most businesses would have just charged me  a gazillion $$$ to fix and never would've mentioned that I could fix it myself.  Mike is a true gem! I would definitely recommend his services. In fact,  I actually plan on using .... in the future for all my needs. Good Landscaper Near Me read less
