Attention to every detail

"Thank you so much for the wonderful irrigation system you have installed for me, I am so happy with it. It has been such a pleasure in all my dealings with all of you from the beginning ... so pleasant and professional . . . so careful with all my plants and paid amazing attention to every detail, even laying of lawnseed. I was very impressed. Thank-you all for a fabulous job."

Great follow up

"If we've got a client requiring irrigation as part of their set up we subcontract them in because they're the guys with all the experience, and good quality work and we know the customer's going to be happy. They'll follow it up too - they make sure everything's working and fully instruct the client on how to operate the irrigation controllers. There's no point putting in those things and then walking away. We're the same with our business, you've got to follow up."

Expertise throughout all facets

"When I built a property at Portsea, Ross Mackay and his team were responsible for the total set up - that required great expertise in irrigation alone. Rosebud Irrigation also did the landscaping, establishing the drive and all the underground water protection needed for a steep drive, along with monitoring the whole system right through the project. This was from a barren start with a very steep slope.

They also took care of seeding of the property, landscaping, purchase of all the plants and general environmental setting of the whole place, working autonomously. It's been a great help to me that I have the trust in Rosebud Irrigation to really look after the property at a time when I'm quite busy doing commercial things, works autonomously.

On the maintenance side of things Rosebud Irrigation have been brought in at rather quick sharp intervals in more recent times, with all sorts of water restrictions and changes. The programmed irrigation system they've installed means I don't have to worry about any of that.

They've also been responsible for linking me up with bore water and integrating that in the irrigation system of the whole property, and I've been very satisfied with that."

Outstanding

"There's no doubt that the work Ross does is outstanding and his knowledge of the industry is second to none, that's why we hire him. We bring him in because we know the job's going to be done properly.

There's no shortcuts, he keeps us up to date all the time, and all products are top quality so there's no worry about anything. We haven't found anyone who can match his knowledge or his ability to get job the done."

No hold-ups

"I've used Ross since he set himself, up from day one, and the reason for that is because he is someone I can work with; competitive and hungry for the business. He usually knows what we want already when talking about a job.

Ross's quality of work and the speed he gets through it is very competitive - he's got the equipment with him always. He always prides himself on having everything on board so that he doesn't have to leave the job site and there's no hold-ups: if there's a problem he can fix it straight away."

Excellent service

"We've found the level of service provided has been excellent, Ross has been able to provide very timely and high quality service and ensures all of our current irrigation systems are managed appropriately. The other service he provides us is design for our capital works side of things. Ross has provided design for a number of our sports field irrigation requirements and his service delivery is of the highest quality and the timeliness of his delivery is excellent.

He also provides us services in the supply and installation of all levels of irrigation systems. These range from all types of minor garden bed systems to fully integrated sportsfield type systems and, again, we can't fault his service delivery. His ability to be flexible and responsive is second to none: it's excellent.From small commercial jobs right up to major commercial product has just been excellent. his ability to provide us innovation in how he rolls out those systems is just fantastic.

If contractors were all as easy to manage as Ross and his company - one of the bonuses is he's excellent in keeping up to date in the latest trends in irrigation, state water restrictions etc. Rosebud Irrigation's ability to work in a group project environment is brilliant.

He brings a lot to the table in that he's willing to look at cost effectiveness and the long term picture. He actually does see water as a long term resource, and he does very much take a sustainable approach to irrigation, it's not just put us much in as you can and pump the water out, he really is looking at the most innovative ways to do things."

Peace of mind

"Rosebud Irrigation maintains our irrigation system up at Seawinds, as part of a maintenance plan. It takes a lot of the worry out of having to check that system all the time, through the maintenance plan with Rosebud Irrigation we have effectively locked in peace of mind The park is visited by half a million people a year, and the lawn area and garden area is what they come to see.

Especially in the heat when you can't go to the beach, people really flock up there to spend a day in the shade of the trees. For it to look good is imperative, it's one of our premium park areasSeawinds Garden, part of Arthurs Seat State Park, is an historical area, and most of the vegetation is European.

It's look and feel is a culturally significant European aesthetic, with heritage listed trees, and these have to look good throughout the summer holiday period. The computer program which Rosebud Irrigation look after optimises water usage and keeps everything looking good."

Punctual, thorough, professional

 

"I heard about Rosebud Irrigation because Ross does the work at The Village Glen for Chas Jacobsen - a huge aged care facility. Chas recommended him to me.We did a new 65 bed aged care facility and Ross came and did all the irrigation, including sprinklers - all automatic and on timing systems.

He did such a good job we got him back to do more work on the older section of the facility. I'd highly recommend him to anybodyRosebud Irrigation is punctual, thorough, professional and when Ross said things would be done, they were done. Mt Martha Valley Lodge gardens are spectacular, we pride ourselves on them when anyone drives in. Ross has been fantastic on both the new and older section. I'm happy for anyone to ring for a recommendation."
