"I called Outdoor Elegance for a Landscaping quote and also needed Sprinkler system install which was listed on their website under specialty experience and with Angies list. While I was getting other landscaping quotes Derek Enkes, the foreman/manager said I might as well get the sprinkler system installed as I would need it for the new plants no matter what. So he gave me a verbal quote which seemed a little high but Outdoor Elegance had a good name so I told him to do it. He did tell me that he would be sub-contracting out the work to one of his former employees who did excellent work. He talked me into going with an above the ground pump instead of a submersible pump because he said he had the same pump on his system at his house and it was great and it was easier to service. Not knowing any better I OKed it. When they were installing the pump I noticed that they simply cut off the pipe that the old submersible pump was on and never lenthened the pipe to make up for the 3 ft they cut off. Derek said it was OK that that would not make any difference. My first clue that they did not have the experience they told me they did was when they could not get the pump to prime and forgot to put a check valve on the line. They left and came back with a check valve and after some other adjustments finally got the pump working and changed out some sprinkler heads. Part of the agreement was to locate all of the valves and heads and put them on a drawing so they could easily be located. They located and uncovered everything but did not give me a drawing as agreed to. They dsiad the sprinkler guy would come back and do that after I paid them. He never did come back and complete that part even after several calls to Derek about it. By the way when he asked for a check for doing the work I was going to make it out to Outdoor Elegance who I thought I was hiring and he said no to make it out to him. I also called Outdoor Elegance and talked to a lady who was the owner to get Derek and she basically told me that if Derek ran it through his own company that they could not control that. Then less than 5 months after installing the pump it went out of prime twice going through the cycles many times with no water flowing and burned the pump up. I called in the neighbors sprinkler guy and he said that it was not installed correctly, that the area where the lines went in and out of the pump were leaking badly causing it to loose prime. He also said the shortening of the pipe probably didn't help either since in the dry season the water level goes down. I called Derek twice and he told me he was getting surgery and could not help me until he healed and would call me back. He never called me back so I had someone else install a submersible pump which should have been installed in the first place. Of the $2200 that I paid Derek I asked for the $600 back for the pump and he hung up on me and would never answer the phone again. Derek Enkes over promises and under delivers. If you are considering Outdoor Elegance or anything Derek Enkes has anything to do with, run for the hills as you are about to be had."

"Ricardo came to our house to give a quote the same day he called. He gave us a great quote and came back within a week to do the work. There was some miscommunication, as there often is when your getting work done on your home, but it was handled promptly and professionally. I wanted something very simple and not only did he deliver but went above and beyond. I would highly recommend this company and would hire him again in the future. Ricardo and RCH is the way to go!"
