Description of Work: They did not show up for a scheduled 3:00 appointment, then called at 3:00 to say they were running a few minutes late for our 3:00 appointment and seemed shocked when I told him it was already 3:30. Asked me to please wait his GPS said he was 11 minutes away. I waited until 4:00 then called to let him know I had to leave. He once again assured me he was on his way, after waiting over an hour I could no longer accomodate him.

Description of Work: I called and made an appt. for Steve to visit my yard. When he showed up, he said I needed to have my yard leveled and that he would get me a name of a man that could do it. Steve also said I needed to move my sprinklers and install a new zone for the new bed and that he would get me a quote to do it. He recommended two types of palms. | |I called the following Tuesday - because no one followed-up with me. The woman on the phone said Steve would follow-up by the end of the week - he never did.

Response from Green Thumb Nursery
[member name removed], I would like to apologize to you because I think there was some miss communication on the process of providing you with an estimate. When I came out to your house on June 26th. we spoke about what you wanted to do in the back yard. There was a level and grade problem in the back yard and I spoke with you about the fact that it needed to be corrected before we could put the sprinklers and grass in. When you called the Nursery, Lesa gave you a name of a contractor that could help you with the grading. I was under the understanding that when the grading was completed I was going to return to the property to access the new conditions and provide you with your quotes at that time. I apologize for the mix up on this matter. It was not my intention to not get back in touch with you. I was waiting to hear back from you on the status of the back yard. I would be happy to to help you. Again I'm very sorry about my misunderstanding. Everyone here at the Green Thumb regards customer satisfaction as paramount. I will contact you by phone today. Steve Rey

Description of Work: I had Steve come out and give me an estimate to remove all of the plants from my front bed and put in new plants/mulch, etc. He listened to what I liked, and had some very good suggestions. I don't feel like he tried to "over" sell me on anything. The bed looks awesome. They were on time, very professional, did what they said they were going to do and then I got a letter in the mail, detailing what types of fertilzer should be used and when, on the new plants. Very nice touch, as I am no gardener. I would highly recommend them.

They were our neighboorhood "go to place for gardening, lawn supplies, products and service." The owners and their staff were always happy to answer any questions or concerns we had. They took their time to explain answers while always being knowledgeable, professional and humorous. They displayed a love and passion for what they do. Green Thumb Nursery offers gardening seminars and has a very helpful online resource guide for gardening and landscaping.
Description of Work: My husband and I have both purchased garden items from their retail store and have also called them for advice on our lawn and flower beds, over a period of eight years.

I went to Green Thumb to discuss buying a palm tree, shrubs, design service and installation. I made an appointment for one of the owners to come out and quote the job. He came and said he would get back to me on Sat. (Oct.13) as that is when he does his proposals. There was a point where I hadn't heard from them but it was a matter of a wrong e-mail address. It was resolved and I am very happy with the quality of the tree and Green Thumb.

Very pleased with our dealings with them. Would contact them again in the future.
Description of Work: A representative from the company came out to give us a an estimate on landscaping our back yard. He was punctual and professional. We were not able to get the quote because we had other issues with the yard(it needed to be graded to help drain), but he advise us to call him back after we had the other work done. We decided to try to do as much as possible ourselves to save on cost.

Green Thumb came out to give me an estimate. He was running late but called ahead to ensure I could accomodate him. I didn't have any ideas on what I wanted done, I just knew that I wanted a neat and tidy appearance that was easy to maintain. He proposed what he thought would work well with the space and the existing structure I had. I received an estimate one or two days later. They were able to come out and do the work 2 weeks later and came in under budget. I was very pleased with the work performed. The plants looked very nice and have taken off. The space appeared as they laid it out in the estimate and even better than imagined. Over and above the plantings, the crew completely cleaned up my front lawn, including mowing, fixing a broken sprinkler head (broken before they came) and trimmed back all the existing bushes and weeds. When I came home, the site was immaculate. Weeks later the plants are thriving and I received instructions on fertilizing them in the mail. On the whole, I was very pleased with the work.
Description of Work: I asked Green Thumb for an estimate to landscape the front of my house, which had gone scraggly and overgrown. I had some existing plants and structures but wanted to clean it up and I had no clue about plants, so didn't have a lot of ideas on what to do.

Steve promptly came out and gave his recommendations for my yard. He listened to what I was looking for and gave suggestions to accomodate them. His ideas seemed to be reasonable and I felt like he was more interested in satisfying me than "selling" me something I did not want or need. I received a quote within a few days. Steve invited me to go to his nursery to actually see the types of plants he was suggesting in addition to looking at photos online. Quite an impressive nursery! Once an agreement was reached, the work was scheduled. His crew showed up on time and completed the job within the time frame I was told. As with any project, a couple of items needed follow up. All items were taken care of and I am very happy with the landscaping and the service they provided. I would highly recommend Green Thumb for any landscaping need anyone has.

I use them all the time. They are very friendly. They are experts in landscaping and lawn care. They are privately owned and the owners work there. They have been in the neighborhood for 20 years or more. I know one of the owners, Pat. He is very helpful and he really knows his stuff. Every time he tells me something about weeds, grass, fertilizing and so forth he is spot on. He knows exactly what he's talking about when I ask him anything. He is a real expert. Whenever we have had problems that have come out and helped us.

I have gone to them each time since the sprinkler system work for guidance in my landscaping. They are excellent, they tell me what to do in my yard when I have questions. They did exactly what we talked about and when I wanted it and I had no problems. If I said I wanted a certain plant instead of the one they suggested they were willing to go along with it, but they would explain why their choice might be better in the long run. They did whatever I wanted.
Description of Work: Green Thumb Nursery they directed me on how to do the landscaping and which plants to use. They did do some of the work several years ago, they were instrumental in making arrangements for my sprinkler system.

They came on time. The men worked fast and did a very competent job. When do to my own lack of knowledge about plants I had to contact the nursery for more plant care information Pat was very patient and well educated explaining what I had to do and the plants surivived and blossomed. If a person really doesn't understand a lot about plants he is the man to see.
Description of Work: I use this nursery only. I first had them plant some plumbagos for me in 2008 and it went very well. When I needed more help with the plants I spoke to Pat and he was very helpful, patient and a true expert on plant care. Now I go there to buy mulch, chemicals for the lawn and plants, and get his advice on how to take care of my many different plants, especially after our big freezes this winter. With his good advice they all survived after some serious rehab.
