Keeping it Green Landscape

I just used Keeping it Green this week; I was very happy with the service, the promptness, respect and expertise. don’t think you will go wrong using them.

If I could give this company more than 5 stars, I would. Mike was polite and professional over the phone and in person. I had tried calling other companies to get a quote on getting my sprinklers fixed but either they didn’t answer, call me back, or was way too expensive. Mike called me right back after leaving a message, and he came over next day to give me a free quote on the fix. He even provided irrigation options for the sprinklers and general irrigation tips and information. He didn’t pressure me into buying anything or needing a right-​away-​answer. He even mentioned a rebate that could save me money, but unfortunately the water company that does the rebate recently changed how much rotating sprinkler heads you must purchase to a higher number than what I needed to purchase. Regardless, I went with the rotating sprinkler heads.
I am very pleased with Mike’s work and his company. I highly recommend him for the services he provided!

I had a simple mulch job, but I didn’t have the time to do it myself. I saw this company working at my neighbors house, and stopped to ask them to give me an estimate when they were done with the neighbor’s yard They gave me a reasonable enough estimate so I scheduled an appointment. They never showed! I have not been able to get them on the phone. What’s worse, they have bailed on my neighbor as well.

Very helpful, was out the day I called, and reasonable in cost. We have to have foundation work done — that contractor needs the sprinkler system disabled due to digging. Also, I wanted the sprinkler station moved from up against a crawl space, to an area away from the house. He assessed the sprinkler layout, and knew what to do. Will definitely have KIG back to reconfigure the sprinkler system when the foundation is fixed.

Mike has come over for a couple of jobs in the last month at our house. He has been reliable and has done great work. His team works clean and they are all friendly. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for honest, fair business.

Extraordinary service!
I was having sprinkler problems in the front yard. Called KIG Landscape on a Saturday and Mike told me he’d be out at my house 6 pm. I expected a quote and perhaps an appointment to return another day, but instead Mike starts troubleshooting the problem, fixes the issue, tells me exactly how to obtain rebates from the water company, and then charged me a very fair fee for his services. I was impressed with his customer service and willingness to help immediately. We have set up an appointment for him to return next weekend to help upgrade my backyard irrigation system. I would highly recommend Mike’s company to anybody. Al Torres.

Mike is very easy to work with, and super knowledgeable about sprinklers! He came out and assessed my lawn, then came back to do the work and then came back three more times when I found some spots that needed more attention. Call Mike and you’ll be so happy with your lawn AND saving on your water bill.

When I first bought my home I made the mistake of calling Chula Vista lawn who installed the wrong type of system on a slope in my backyard, this was causing a run off of mud. I called Mike and he agreed to come out and do the work, not only did he do what he had said but there was a leak in one of the sprinkler pipes and he repaired it, free of charge. Haven’t had that kind of customer service in a long time, not to mention he gave me a military discount, I would definitely recommend.

Gotta give it up for my man Mike. We bought a house 6 months ago and inherited a janky sprinkler system with it. A few weeks ago 3 of the heads on the same line stopped working and my lawn turned brown. At this point, I turned to Unilocal for local sprinkler repairmen. I found Mike and was impressed by all his 5 star reviews. I called on a Sunday and left a message. Even though it was his day «off» I received a phone call about 30 minutes later from Mike himself. He came over a few days later and did a free assessment. I don’t know what he did, but he simply touched my system and those three heads started working again. He also fixed all the angles of my existing heads. He popped off one of my nozzles and showed me how they have new rotating nozzles that are more water efficient. He also told me about a Socal water $mart initiative where they pay for $ 4 of each $ 7 for each new nozzle. Our water bill has been high and we had a bunch of dry patches in the lawn so I decided to go for the new nozzles. He called me the next day saying he had a cancellation and came over. Within an hour he had replaced all the nozzles in the front and backyard. Not only that, he capped a few sprinkler heads that were unnecessary and altered some that over sprayed. In our backyard he totally redid the previous owner’s shoddy pipework. He replaced a busted pipe and a messed up drip line. All in all, he did about 3 hours of work, replaced 20 nozzles with new water efficient ones (which CA will refund more than half), and replaced and fixed the back drip line. Final cost was $ 350. I would hire Mike again in a heartbeat. He was a cool guy, joked around, offered advice, and responded quickly. If you hire him, you won’t regret it.

The sprinkler system that I have was put in back in 2009 so I’ve had a few minor technical difficulties with the Program Timer. It’s one of the major brands but it’s been discontinued at Home Depot so I bought this one online as it’s pretty easy to program and it’s reasonably priced. This is the 3^rd one as the previous two had issues but this one didn’t work for some reason. After replacing the Solenoids on the Sprinkler Pumps it still wouldn’t come on when it was programed to start. So left a voice-​mail for Mike to call me back. He called the next day and set a time. Unfortunately he got hung up in traffic but called to let me know he was running behind. We scheduled for the following Monday and Mike arrived on time.
He assessed the situation and determined that it was a miss wiring on my part so I felt pretty dumb that I had put the wire in the wrong socket. But Mike didn’t make me feel that way so it’s all good. I paid him and said our goodbyes.
Overall, I’d recommend Keeping it Green Landscape to others. Mike is personable, knowledgeable and courteous.

My house had a sprinkler system that was in desperate need of an overhaul/​tune-​up. I called the number and left a message on Tuesday around lunchtime. Within an hour or two, Mike had called back. We set up an appointment for the next day. He arrived promptly, assessed the system, explained what he’d need to do, and quoted me a very reasonable price. We made an appointment for him to come back on Friday, he arrived early with his brother, and had the thing fixed within two hours, all for the exact price he quoted me.
My current house is the only place I’ve ever lived in that has a sprinkler system, so naturally I am not at all familiar with their workings. In other words, somebody could come out here and quote me any price he wanted and tell me that all kinds of things are wrong with the system. But Mike was honest and a square-​dealer all the way. He recommended replacing the modular system that controls the sprinklers, but he easily could have taken advantage of me and told me I absolutely needed a new system for another $ 200. He didn’t. I didn’t end up buying the new system, but when the old one does break down completely, I’ll be calling him back here for sure.
I would whole-​heartedly recommend Keeping It Green. Mike is a local guy, born and raised in SD. And in addition to being honest, he’s a hard worker — he works a full-​time job in addition to running the company — and obviously cares about what’s doing.

We had a great experience with Mike. When we moved into our house, there were all kinds of problems with our sprinkler system and our yard looked it. With Mike’s help, we got the system working so now I’m less hesitant to buy new plants.
Mike showed up ready to work and quickly diagnosed the various problems with our sprinklers in different parts of the yard.
We’ll probably need some additional help once we decide what new plants we want to put in and I’d use Mike again in a heartbeat.

I don’t know — I was really looking forward, based on these Unilocal reviews, to getting Keeping It Green to help me adjust the heads on my existing system and help me set up water for some containers but I called twice over a three-​day period two weeks ago and they haven’t returned my calls. Maybe I shouldn’t have left a voicemail announcing it was a «small job».

Found Keeping It Green on Unilocal & went with them because of the high ratings. I was not disappointed. I needed a leaking sprinkler valve fixed. Not a big job, but in the process of doing the work, Mike saw that our sprinkler system was semi-​old & gave me info on a rebate program through SoCal Water Smart for upgrading to $-saving nozzles on the sprinklers. No pressure from him, just told me how to look the rebate up online, gave me a quick run-​down on how many nozzles he’d propose to switch out & cost per nozzle & labor. He simply told me to contact him if I wanted to do the upgrade.
Once approved for the rebate, I had 2 weeks to get the work done. He called me back within a day & we planned the work within the week (my schedule actually prevented it from being done sooner). He was running behind schedule that day, but even when I offered to reschedule so he could go home at a reasonable hour, he wanted to stay & finish. He gave me a tour of the new sprinklers, explained how it works & re-​programmed my timers to fit the new water flow. He emailed me the receipt necessary for the rebate that evening.
Mike is a little hard to get a hold of, but I also called him during the hottest part of the summer when everyone & their brother were contacting him to get work done immediately. He’s worth the 2^nd phone call!
Thanks, Mike!

I found Keeping It Green on Unilocal,and was impressed with the 5 star rating. I called them in the the morning and left a message. He responded later in the day and told me he would be over in the afternoon. My sprinkler system watering the front yard didn’t cover the area well, and I thought I would need to have the system changed to add a couple of sprinkler heads. Mike took a look at the problem, and decided that the problem could be corrected with new sprinkler heads. He had a replacement units with him, and fixed the problem. I get great coverage now. I also had him change the sod in some areas and he did that a couple of days later. He did a fine job and charged a reasonable price. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.

Mike came out to look at my huge sprinkler problem on a slope in a canyon. He fixed the huge problem in less then an hour. He’ll get all my landscaping business from now on. Mike knows what he is doing and does what he does fast and at a fair price!

I am very impressed by Mike’s work. I called him for a sprinkler repair that a different landscaper caused and he came the same day and fixed it quick for a very reasonable price. I am very happy I found him and I will use him in the future. Also, he not only fixed my sprinkler but also used a better sprinkler head that is more water efficient. I am overall extremely happy.

I called Mike after lunch for a small job to cap/​fix faulty valve that was leaking water in our front yard. He was there by 4PM, fixed it in less than an hour and price was very reasonable. Great job — we’ll do more business in the future. Thanks Mike!

When i noticed a stagnant puddle near my irrigation/​sprinkler box I went on Unilocal to find someone for the job. I called just about everyone listed on Unilocal and Mike was the only one that called me back promptly (less than a minute)! He came over the next day and boy was i relieved… he is not only friendly, but NORMAL! It was about 95 degrees out and he worked his butt off! He is very honest and his rates are very reasonable. I’m so glad I found someone to deal with my sprinkler system from now on (and Mike, I’ll try harder to not run over my sprinklers with the lawn mower! hehe!) Don’t waste anymore time looking for an irrigation system guy… Mike is your man!

Keeping it green was able to find the cause of the excessive water in our yard and fix the problems in the irrigation all in one visit. Mike was very knowledgeable, helpful and clear about what could be done, as well as making sure everything was done to our liking. I Would refer anyone in need of such services to Keeping it Green. The workmanship is quality and the rates for service are very reasonable.
