I called Royal Turf looking for a sprinkler system turn on and a walk through of the yard to discuss the layout of my sprinkler system and to make sure my new yard had the best coverage, as I just moved into a new home and did not know the system. I spoke with Sarah King to schedule an appointment and was told the owner, Justin King, would come out, because they were so busy with the start of the spring season. The Justin recommended I make some changes to get better coverage and better sprinkler heads as he stated I had the “builders grade sprinkler heads,” but was unable to make the changes that day, so he suggested I call at a later date to schedule the work he recommended. I called, at a later date and asked for the work that he recommended. They sent out 2 young guys to do the work. When they arrived, they did not know what they were there to do, I had to re-explain it all, and they had to contact the office for direction. I gave them access to the yard and system, asked for all of the “old sprinkler heads” to be left and went to work. No statement/invoice was left stating what work had been done and no heads that were replaced were left. I discovered I had worse coverage and my lawn and garden area and bushes were dying. I called and asked for it to be corrected and for my sprinkler heads back as they did a much better job covering my yard than the new ones. They sent out a different guy out who, again, had no idea what he was there to do. I explained the issue, gave him access to the yard and system, and went to work. Again, I was not left any statement or invoice stating what had been done to resolve the issue, or if any adjustment were made. My lawn, bushes, and gardens continued to die. I called again and explained my issue and asked for it to be corrected. This time I was told the owner, Justin, would come and resolve the issue. He showed up and told me he had never been to my home, never made any suggestions. I was shocked at such a response and when I questioned him, he got angry, yelled at me, and got in his truck and drove away. I ended up having to hand water the rest of the season and called a different sprinkler system to blow out my sprinklers, as I never heard back from Royal Turf to finish the original job. I have now been sent to collections by Royal Turf, still do not have a breakdown of what I, the customer, asked for, and what was done at each of the 4 visits – 9 months later. I still do not have my original sprinkler heads, been accused of resetting my sprinkler timer to a shorter watering time, and accused of cursing, yelling, and verbally abusing their technicians and the owner. Royal Turf is claiming they did all of the work I requested – to include removing sprinkler heads that would water my bushes – that was never requested, and removing my drip lines that I took out before they came to do any of the suggested work. They state they have very detailed notes of each visit, but can not, or will not, provide them, and after all of that, I will need to hire someone this coming spring to correct the mess Royal Turf caused and pay out even more money. Save yourself time, a headache, and money call someone else. Do not take any advice from this company!
