Excellent service! Rick installed a digital new Wi-Fi control. He's also winterizing our irrigation system. Very competent, dependable, and reasonable fees.

I called Rick in the morning on 7/30 due to leaking value I had with my irrigation system. I didn't know anything except the side yard was soak with water. Rick said he could have someone out first thing The following Saturday. I thought that was great. He texted back 5min later and said he had a technician in the area and if it was ok to come out within the hour on Friday.

Well absolutely I said yes. His tech came out within 45min, very professional, found the problem and fixed in less than an hour. Was very impressed with the communication and service. I would 100% recommend Exotic Landscapes to any and everyone! Thank you Rick and team. ~Brandon Sechrest

Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness Rick is dishonest and unprofessional. Talks a good game, but fails to follow through. Does not accept responsibility of his employees.

The folks at Exotic are awesome! I was contacted within minutes of my online request. I had water gushing out onto the street and within a couple of hours a technician was at my door and was able to shut off the water leak and made the repair. They saved me a huge water bill. I am very thankful for their speedy response. Service: Irrigation system repair & maintenance

Had Peter and his team pave our small garden into a courtyard and could not be happier. Its been 18 months now and it still looks as nice and fresh as the day it was completed. Kept to his promises with timings, with the only snag being a day of atrocious weather part way through which added a day or two on, but not much can be done about that. Combined with the brilliant demeanour of all the team, the hard work and quality of the finished work, I'd recommend Exotic Landscapes all day long.

Ricks very friendly and responsive to calls and requests. Helped me repair an old sprinkler system, set up the controller, and has kept me winterized since.

I contacted Rick three times and he failed to show. He talks the talk but does not back it up. Demonstrates a lack of commitment and professionalism. He never followed up. I will never try to use his company again.

I am very pleased with Exotic Landscapes in all aspects of the project. The quote was competitive, was concerned about my lawn and property, very prompt and kept me informed throughout the process. Rick took very good care of my lawn. I was surprised when I arrived home to find that extreme caution was given and that the job was performed on a timely basis with all debris cleaned up.

This company is simply awesome. For starters, I had a problem with how to place a grill on my hardscaped patio, so it wouldn't block the view of my back yard. The owner of Exotic Landscapes showed up for a quote on installing two flowerbeds, within two minutes, he figured it out.
