Dame Landscaping

We have used Dame Landscape for about 7 years for all our irrigation needs. This year, we decided to replace the sod in our backyard and have our large tree thinned out. We chose Dame Landscape to do the work and they did not disappoint. Our new sod exceeded our expectations and the tree now has that umbrella/canopy look that we were looking for. Steve is extremely knowledgeable, a great communicator and quick with responses. Enrique, Oscar, and the rest of the crew did an outstanding job!

They are knowledgeable, friendly, respectful of our property, and customer service oriented. I can't say enough about Dame Landscape! They take pride in their work and it shows! It took only three days to accomplish what we wanted and the cost was very reasonable. We have used several contractors in San Diego over the years; they've always been good and most were great! However, we find Dame Landscape exceptional! Thanks guys!

I paid $2000 for a botched job: Insufficient irrigation one emitter at the trunk of each shrub instead of three at the drip line, as I requested per CA Dept of Agriculture guidelines; a mix of spray and drip irrigation on 2 of my 3 valves, to which I objected in vain, and which of course did not work; delay after delay on what I was told would be a 3 day job, leaving me for 2 weeks with no irrigation at all in hot, dry weather; 1 of the 3 workers who spent hours talking on his cell phone each day and doing no work at all while conversing and listening to deafening music to which my neighbors objected; and nasty communications from Steve when I objected to the delays and to his expectation that I be content to hand water my entire property until he got around to honoring his end of the bargain. It cost thousands to correct the shoddy work they did. A company to avoid at all costs.

I spoke with them and they had their expert repair person come out to my house. The technician who had worked with the owner said it would be about 4 hours of work and was very certain they could do the repair. Well i don't get a call back and when I called i get a lazy text back from the manager saying they can't do. Save your time and find a company that is skilled.

I had a sprinkler valve that was leaking and making my irrigation system a pia to deal with. Dame was able to come by the same day. They were half the price of the other quote I got. Overall pleasantly surprised and better than I expected. Steve and Chayo are super nice guys and you get the feeling they just care about helping you and making sure the job is done right.

Thank you for helping me out. I am very impressed with their responsiveness and attention to detail. They were able to come out next day and complete the work to my satisfaction. I would recommend to anyone looking for help with their sprinkler or irrigation needs

This is a tough review to write. My sprinkler was leaking. They identify the problem quickly and know it is caused by leaking/damaged valve. The problem is they did not fixed the right valve the first place. They searched around my backyard and finally find the valve that is leaking/damaged. I ended up replaced three valves which is triple the normal cost ($180+$180+$170(with $10 discount)). Their diligence is recommendable but not their failure of locating and repairing the right valve the first place.

I have used Dame Landscape a number of times over the years for our sprinkler system upkeep and I have been happy with the work done each time. Most recently, Enrique came to our house and easily took care of needed repair and adjustments. Their prices have always been more than reasonable. I definitely recommend Steve and his team.

Quickly diagnosed and then remedied a difficult landscape drainage problem. Very pleased and will hire again.

Repeated phone calls have not been returned by Dame. We have had to replace a large quantity of the plants, and are now having to hire someone to fix the work that they did. Irrigation was not sufficient according to two other reputable firms we have had to come look at our property following Dames' work. This is costing us a lot of money and frustration. If you want any follow up - do not use this company. He will just ignore you.

Steve and his team were fantastic, very clear, flexible, transparent on cost. The work was done very quickly and on schedule communicated. Quick to address all my questions and help make sure I knew how the sprinkler system was programed. Overall installed new sprinkler, star Jasmine vines, sod, bendaboard, and rock. Very pleased

Did work which was needed well and in a timely manner. Did not try to upsell or add extra. Will use again

Steve and his guys did a terrific job on my landscaping. Additionally, they fixed my old sprinkler valves and adjusted the height of the sprinklers in the lawn so the watering could reach everywhere. They are prompt, conscientious and very reasonable. I would heartily recommend them.

This company deserves 10 Stars! I can't say enough wonderful things about Enrique who came to repair our sprinkler system. He was prompt, extremely knowledgeable and an all-around great guy. Prices were incredibly fair for all the work he performed. HIGHLY recommend this company.

Fixed the issue with our sprinkler in less than an hour. Affordable, on time and professional. We will use Dame landscape again.

I cannot begin to explain how pleased I am with Dame Landscaping. We had been having issues with our sprinklers for years. Fix one, three break, so on, so forth. It seemed like we were constantly fixing sprinklers! About a week ago, the pressure regulator failed and started linking pretty bad. The people who had the house before us installed the system, and they did not put the valve shutoff above ground.

It is buried and I have no idea where. Anyways, called Dame, explained what was happening. They were very professional and polite on the phone. When Chuey came to the house, he was very polite and professional as well. I explained to him what was going on and he fixed the problem within ten minutes! Thank you Dame Landscaping!

These guys rock. They helped me out with replacing a broken anti-siphon on short notice. I thought I had the correct parts, but it turns out I didn't. The gentleman that showed up told me it wasn't a problem, and he happened to have everything needed for the repair on-site. He managed to just replace the broken pieces versus replacing the entire assembly.

That saved me some money, and he had the entire repair done in 10 minutes. Took some time to show me what broke on the unit so that I know what to keep an eye out for in the future. The price was considerably less expensive than 2 other quotes over the phone. Would highly recommend.

Steve Dame is the best! Was alerted early on Sunday morning by our neighbor that our backyard was flooded and overflowing onto his property. One of our aging sprinkler valves was stuck open and had been irrigating everything for over five hours instead of five minutes. The entire backyard was awash and the sprinklers were going full blast. Tried shutting off the valve manually which did nothing so in a panic had to turn off the main water supply to our home and property.

Try living without running water for even a few hours - can't flush the toilet, no bathing or showering, can't even wash your hands; life gets very difficult very quickly. Reached out to Steve but wasn't expecting a response given that it was Sunday, but thank God he got back to me. Talked with me at length by phone and then suggested a possible remedy that miraculously worked, allowing me to quickly restore the water supply to our home. Luckily for us, his crew had a break in their usually packed schedule the next day.

The faulty valve was confirmed as the culprit, all of our backyard sprinkler valves were replaced and the system was tested to make sure everything was working properly. I wish all contractors provided outstanding service like Steve Dame Landscape!

If you are looking for a high quality, trustworthy landscape company then look no further! Dame landscaping did a great job on our backyard. Not only did they start on time, but they also cleaned EVERYTHING up after each day and finished the job early. Our yard went from a bunch of overgrown weeds to a beautiful, enjoyable outdoor living space in less than a week. They did an excellent job. Quality work! Thank you Juan, Jr and Francisco!

Found on Angie's List with very good reviews, confirmed similar reviews (though few) on Yelp and good record on BBB. Fixed two sprinkler issues - leaking head and leaking control valve - all in one hour Angie's list deal. Also answered several miscellaneous questions about general lawn and sprinkler issues. Enrique is a nice guy, speaks English fairly well, with moderate Spanish accent. Scheduling was a small problem, when he suddenly showed up at door 1 hour early, so I had to quickly juggle tasks.

Owner (Mr. Dame) was a nice guy and did scheduling and initial sales call on phone. Would recommend and use again - however they are in Escondido and are somewhat far from us, so may not be an option in an emergency.
