Avant Garde Landscaping, Inc.

We needed a sprinkler backflow valve quick as we were going out of town. They responded quickly and got the job done.

When I Called Troy he came right out and diagnosed the problem with my sprinkler system! I had other sprinkler techs come, but they did not seem to know what Avant Garde Landscaping knew about my sprinkler system. I would recommend Troy to all of my neighbors, he is very professional and friendly!

Ryan and all of his employees were absolutely lovely. They communicated well, made sure we were happy and up to date with every step in the process, and were extremely professional. I would absolutely hire them again. They made sure we got exactly what we wanted with our backyard and were always very upfront with us about pricing, which was refreshing, and stayed within our budget.

These people responded in a quick and professional manner. They completed all required work in a timely manner, answered all questions in a clear and understandable way and even did some unexpected extra work at their own expense. Yes, I would readily recommend them to others.

We've had so many problems with our valves and sprinkler heads over the years. I called Avant Garde, and Ryan and he was able to come out the next day and fix multiple issues. He was very helpful and pleasant to work with. I'm grateful that I finally found someone who knows what they're doing, and does what they say they will do. After checking around with other companies, I also found them very reasonably priced. I will absolutely recommend them to my friends, and will call them again if I need additional work to be done.

I never receive a written estimate for services. When we received the bill it had no start or finish time on it! Part of his justification was it took him 2 hours but there was no start or finish time written on the receipt. The informal estimate on the phone he told us it will be between $150 - $350 depending on the job. It was only one $2 part that had a crack in the sprinkler system ( an elbo or 90 ) and we were charge at the top of the estimate. He charged $335! If he would have given us a written estimate before hand and let us know. Okay I have identified the problem. Here are the parts I need, and here is how long it will take. Here is the price point your looking at. I would have paid the $98 charge to come out and look at it and sent him on his way. He stated on the phone "that's what you should have done." I however was not give the opportunity to say no thank you! He just did the work and handed over a bill for the top end of the verbal estimate. I was not there when the work was done so my wife paid him. When I got home I called him and asked him what justifies this $335 price point and he had no answer for me. He said something like well the glue has to dry for 30 mins before he could see if it is fixed. So while he waited for the glue to dry he was handing my wife a bill for time he thought it would take before he left. So he is charging me while he was waiting for the glue to dry? Okay well that doesn't make sense! That's outrageous and so was the bill! So, I was paying him to hand me a bill and tell me wife what he did...ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! I also asked him well what does a $150 job look like if only 1 elbo is cracked and need to be replaced. He never did answer that one! He just danced around the question saying...IN MY 27 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE....AND DEFLECTED FROM ANSWERING. I have filed a complaint with the BBB I will keep you posted. I offered to pay him $200 to settle, but even that is more than I think the job was worth!!!

Ryan was very detailed in his explanation of the quote he gave and what his work would entail. This was very helpful to me and my wife in deciding to go with Avant. At first the price seemed a bit high, but Ryan explained to us about Avant's quality and that they back their product, work, and services. Ryan was easy to work with. He kept us up to date with what was going on and answered our questions promptly. Our landscaping and sod turned out great. It turned out just as Ryan had helped us envision it would be. We are so pleased with the finished product. Our money was well spent. Thank you Ryan and staff!

Troy was prompt and completed my sprinkler valve replacement in a timely manner. He was courteous and explained everything well.

Avant was able to get my sprinklers repaired while I was in another state. They sent me pictures and did everything over the phone with me since I had already moved. I would highly recommend them. Troy communicates well and consistently and treats you like any customer would want to be treated. With respect and tells you exactly what's going on. I highly recommend him and his company for any project you have.

Troy was very good about explaining many choices that dealt with the issue I was having and how to resolve it. I felt that he gave me good long range views on the project so I could get the best value. He also explained about another service they provide that I can use in the future.
