Our backyard St. Augustine was suffering greatly due to the maturing of several oak trees. After trying several "low-light" alternatives to no effect, we decided to install artificial grass. We obtained quotes from several companies. IOE was not the least expensive, but we selected them based on their patience in answering all our questions and their support in getting the project approved by our homeowner association. They were very patient and professional throughout. The initial scheduling was impacted due to the excessive rains we experienced in May, but their team continually kept us included in his rescheduling plans and we were never concerned about the priority being given to us. Once the crew arrived, as rescheduled, they worked long hours to get the job completed in a timely manner. The installation of the artificial grass was complicated because of a significant French drain, and IOE tried several approaches before finding the best solution. In addition to the artificial grass, the lawn sprinklers were removed and re-piped to provide an emitter system with great flexibility for the shrubs and flower beds. The beds themselves were re-contoured and rock bordered. Plants were added as recommended by IOE and the backyard was generally re-landscaped. The backyard now looks great and we are very pleased with the outcome.
