I do appreciate how quickly and politely they responded to my inquiry, but was informed that they stopped offering this service a year ago. They have not updated Angie's List or their website, wasting the time of homeowners like me looking for this type of work. I can only assume they leave it up to garner landscaping leads. Was especially disappointed that they could not offer the name of an alternative service provider.

It looks really nice. The fella that set up all the work went above and beyond to satisfy me. Everything came out ok.
Description of Work: They did a paver sidewalk and some extensive work at the end of my driveway to extend my culvert and built a stone wall around the culvert. They installed some boulders and much.

You ask them something that you want done and a budget and they will work with you. If they go over the limit they'll explain why and provide different options for you.
Description of Work: They built a retaining wall and covered it over the top with mulch that looks very good.

Great until they received the 50% down payment at which point customer service went to zero. The brick walkway is beautiful. The company was to remove 2 -3 inches of mulch around my pool and add landscaping rock to fill the beds and add rock to fill the rock bed between my pool and house. They used a rock that did not match the rest of my landscaping, removed all the mulch from the beds around the pool instead of 2 -3 inches resulting in the rock coming 3-4 inches below the top of the wood framing and not having any rock to fill in the bed in between the pool & my home - the contrast in the rock types looks awful - which the salesman agreed when I complained and he came to look at the job. The salesman then led me to believe he was attempting to find the rock to match the current landscaping and complete the job. The next day I received notice from my credit card that the company had processed a charge for payment of the completed job. I did not receive a final invoice from the salesman when he was at my home the day before, the job was not complete nor did I ever give the company authorization to charge my credit card a second time. The company now refuses to fix the issues unless I pay them more money. Sub par work, poor customer service and questionable if not fraudulent business practices in placing unauthorized charges on customers credit cards.
Description of Work: Brick walkway, landscaping rock filled in and placed in exiting rock beds, general landscape clean-up to one area of yard and a few plants planted.

Response from Green Acres Lawncare & Landscaping Inc
[member name removed], I am very sorry to hear that you are not happy with the experience you had with Green Acres. I have thoroughly researched your project and reviewed the emails between you and our staff. On June 1, you emailed indicating that you were fine with the quote provided and asked for additional services. On June 8, our Landscape Manager emailed you the revised estimate which you accepted via email on June 9, and indicated you "hoped" it could be done by the end of June. On June 26, you emailed stating that you were having a large 4th of July party and were "really in need" of the backyard work. The Landscape Manager then replied to your email indicating that due to the weather (we had 14 days of rain between June 9 and July 5), we were delayed on several projects and that you could contact us with any questions. You responded on June 26, expressing your frustration that we could not meet your needs. We again responded to you, apologizing for the frustration and explained the weather is not a factor that we can control, and that all jobs are scheduled and completed in order of how they are sold. Our crews then arrived at your property on July 5 and began the work you had requested. On July 6, we received an email that stated you had concerns about the work that was done and that you "do not like the look at all." You then called the office asking to speak to the Landscape Manager who was in a meeting with another client and we would give him a message to contact you, which he did. The job was then completed on July 6, and you were charged appropriately on July 7, and the invoice was emailed to you. You then sent an email at 5:43 PM (our office closes at 5:00 PM) on Friday July 7 stating that you have disputed the payment on your credit card, and demanding that we cancel the payment within 48 hours, along with an extensive list of other demands that go above and beyond the work that was estimated. Then on Sunday July 9 (again outside of business hours), another email was received from you stating that you have filed a complaint with not only the credit card company, but also the Better Business Bureau. Green Acres Lawn Care stands behind our work 100%, and this job was completed and invoiced to the specifications set forth in the original estimate. Any changes to this would result in an additional cost, as it would with any company. We are among the top rated companies in our area, and have a long standing history with 1000's of satisfied clients. This would not be the case if we operated our business in the manner of which you accuse us. If you wish to discuss this further, please feel free to contact me. Thank you, Stephanie Kieper Office Manager

We called and contracted the service approximately 5 to 6 weeks ago. Customer service said they would be out in a week or two to trim the lower branches, depending on weather conditions. They didn't come and so we called again -- they said they would be out in a day or two. Finally the service was done. We got a bill (already credit card prepaid by us) and it was more than the quoted price. They quoted one hour of labor and removal of debris with a minimum charge of $157.00. When we got the bill it was $223.12. We called and inquired - they said they had "3 workers here". The time it look was recorded on the bill - 10:57 AM to 11:40 AM, approximately 43 minutes. We were charged for an "extra man" who by our estimation was unneeded - but arguing was unsuccessful with them. We feel we were overcharged and had no control over how many men came out -- never in our estimate was it stated per man per hour. We would never use them again over price fairness.
Description of Work: Trimmed several lower limbs to about three feet off the ground of two Blue Spruce trees.

The quality of the work done was very poor. The Green Acres rep admitted afterwards that it was not work that he would want done at his residence and that it is not an example of work that they would post on their website as an example of the work that they do. Sadly, I will have to pay another landscaper to come in and fix this work.
Description of Work: We discussed hand weeding and having 100% of a large (about 24 feet) and six foot high retaining wall redone reusing the same stones. Cost was 99% labor. I was assured it would look good, and be a permanent and quality job. They came out and only worked on 30-40% of the wall and left. The wall was crooked, had large gaps in between the stones (i.e. I can fit a small football in them), did not use concrete or a leveling medium in between stones, did not pull weeds (trimmed them) and sprayed round up. The weeds came back within a week. They did 4.5 hours worth of work (I was home as they worked) and charged the full amount. If you want to pay $233 an hour for poor quality work, call Green Acres.

Green Acres takes care of my yard weekly. Plus they handle my snow removal too! I am very happy with the quality and service. When mowing the back yard, they move things (trampoline) to make sure every inch of the yard is covered. When I call, I always get a quick response. The prices are competitive and service is exceptional. I highly recommend this company!

[member's name removed] I greatly apologize for the lack of follow up. As you can see from the other reviews, this is not typical of our company. We take great pride in customer service and our clients satisfaction is our top priority. We, as do most of us nowadays, rely heavily on technology to help our business and there was a software glitch which caused us not to be notified to follow up with you. The good news is we have already spoken to our software developer and have taken steps to resolve this issue. Again, we do apologize for this error and if there is anything we can do for you, please let us know and we will make sure to do whatever we can to assist. We appreciate the opportunity and hope that you will allow us to show you our true commitment to our clients. Thank you, Stephanie Eklund Office Manager

For the fall clean up i changed gutter cleaning to sidewalk edging with the explicit intent that the cracks be taken care of so my snow blower wouldn't get caught up. There were a few places that were missed. The rest of the yard was almost perfect. There were a couple plants I thought should have been removed (but I'm no landscaper so they might be plants that actually belong) Overall; super friendly service - I'd confused them with a different company and ignored the calls to review my previous rating. I'm glad it is all straightened out now and the review is updated correctly. Sandy is wonderful - be sure to answer her calls!

[Members Name], We have attempted to reach out to you several times regarding your recent review of our company. We believe you may have Green Acres Lawn Care mixed up with another provider. Your review states that we did not respond to your inquiry; however our records indicate that you initially requested an estimate on 11/14/14, we delivered the written estimate on 11/17/14, and you then contacted our office on 11/19/14 and authorized the work. Our crew was on site and completed the job on 11/21/14 and you were invoiced the same day. We strive to be the best in customer service, and I hope this resolves your concern and that you will reconsider your review of our company, as referrals are very important to our business.

After2 years of service we still have weeds and it appears there are areas in the yard that was not covered.I do not water my yard on a regular schedule so perhaps some of the problem could be mine. I have discussed this problem with the applier but with no solution to the weed problem.I will go back to doing my yard myself. I'm sure these folks are very dedicated to servicing their clients.It just did not work for me.

Very well! I called on a Monday morning before they opened and left a message. A lady returned my call soon after. She arranged for a special one time plow. At my request, she called back later in the day to quote a price for our driveway for the season. They give the option of driveway only or driveway and shovel the walk. The addition of the walk (front stoop to driveway) is exactly what I wanted! The cost for plowing is a little more expensive than the previous company. But a true comparison can't be made because the former company didn't even show up in a timely manner. We are very pleased with the professionalism of Green Acres! By the way, we found them on Angie's List, of course.
Description of Work: Plowed driveway. Our previous plow company didn't come until a day or two after the snow fall. We didn't even have an agreement when we called Green Acres to plow our drive. A plow arrived within a couple of hours and they did a great job.
