Business ProfileforAl Sievers Landscape & Sprinkler Service

Wish I had read the reviews of this company before hiring them. We were overcharged at least $1000 for installing a new irrigation controller. Found out after the work was done that the new controller was not operating correctly. Then found out that we had been overcharged around $800 for the new part and for other unlisted "parts." We plan to file a complaint with the ****** Landscape ***************** and may also proceed to Small Claims Court if this is not resolved satsifactorily by the company. Also, we have discovered that this company had been sued by the *************** several years ago for overcharging seniors, and that there are numerous other consumers who have had similar experiences with this company. This company should not be in business. Beware!

I informed ******************************* our coming out charges and the part cost of a new Rain Bird controller over the phone before going to his property.  He called me out because he needed a new controller.  Before installing ************ Bird controller he signed and dated accepting the part cost.  I tested the Rain Bird controller after installation with ********************************  It tested all okay and worked perfectly.  He paid me and I left. 

He never notified me it was not working. 

I always inform my customers of my charges before any work is performed.  They can accept or decline.  ******************************* accepted.

Addressing the other issue he raised about the *************** suing my company.  A trial ended with a Jury rendering a Not Guilty Verdict.  I was completely EXONERATED of any wrong doing.  ******************************* was being disingenuous by stating part of what happened and leaving out the conclusion.  

Thank you,

In his reply to this complaint, Mr. ********************** is avoiding the real issue. He charged me $995 for a part that retails for $175. I have also subsequently discovered that contractors can buy this part for even less than $175. If I had not signed the invoice at the time of installation we would not have had the repair done. By that time Mr. ********************** had already charged me $345 just to show up. So I really had no choice, and I trusted him to tell me the truth about costs. He also charged me an additional $185 for unnamed "parts." He claims I did not notify him that the controller wasn't working properly. This is not true. He returned my previous phone call on May, 24, 2023, and I told him I had confirmed with the controller's tech support line that the controller wasn't working properly. He told me I could pay him (again) to come out and look at it. I declined for obvious reasons. Subsequently, another contractor has come out and fixed the problem (incorrect wiring) in less than 5 minutes. As for the court case, I could only find information online about the lawsuit being filed. I could find no information about the outcome, so I had no way of reporting it. Numerous negative reviews on **** and Yelp show that Mr. ********************** has a pattern of overcharging customers. Many people have published their negative experiences with this company over a period of several years. Anyone, can access these reviews to see the truth.
