Description of Work: Consultation on landscaping and flowers from r balcony. Consultation was waste of money and time. Didn't really provide any information of value and had no interest in helping me with flowers for deck and balcony because she didn't want to ask her workers to carry soil or plants up 3 flights of stairs. I would not recommend Greenspace.

Description of Work: Applied weed killer to front lawn of condo building. Removed 1/2 moon of grass (lawn is half-moon shaped) and planted hostas and hydrangea bush. Re-seeded grass. They were on time and worked efficiently. I think they applied weed killler twice on different days. Yard looks great. Hydrangea is blooming.

Description of Work: Great job on trimming my bushes, small tree, and cutting down a large bush/tree. Recommended buying a few extra plants for the side, which they also planted. Cleaned up the side of my building covered with weeds that could eventually grow into into large unattractive weeds, and difficult to manage,,,not part of the original meeting or job. Thanks greenspace!

Description of Work: After 2 weeks the vendor contacted me via Angie's list and said that they did not do work in my part of the city and canceled the job. It would've been nice to know that when it was initially listed, as I waited 2 weeks to hear from them only to be disappointed. They said that the charges would be canceled, but as I had several jobs I had signed up for from different vendors at the same price, I was unable to confirm with my credit card company that these charges were removed my billing. I would like to know if the charges were actually made or not, because the job was never done. Not a satisfactory experience.

Description of Work: They removed lots of weeds, some of which were like trees at 10' tall. They also cleaned up the little unwanted green things growing at ground level. I worked with them for about 1 hour, and they continued working the rest of the time. They were efficient and did exactly what I asked them to do. I would hire them again.

Description of Work: Lois came out and after an initial consultation, came up with a landscaping plan for my home. She and her team did an excellent job in choosing plants, planting them, and mulching the yard. Due to the time of year, we held off (at Lois' suggestion) installing some plants because they could have difficulty in becoming established before the cold weather set in. We plan to have Lois return in the spring to finish executing the rest of her plans. Overall, Lois did a fantastic job for us -- she is professional, responsive, creative, and just a wonderful person to work with. Definitely a "four star" experience!

Description of Work: Our home was new construction and we had no landscaping at all. Lois came out and listened to what we wanted. She came up with a great design that met our needs. We met again and made a few changes to add some features and up the color in the yard. Lois quickly sent new plans and we went ahead with the work later that week. They were on time and finished the work in a little more than a day. Lois has been responsive to all of our questions. We love the work she did and would definitely use their services in the future.

No work done.
Description of Work: Lois apparently didn't want my business that badly. After only a few emails exchanges in which I tried to find a date/time that would work for an initial consultation, she responded: "Perhaps you should contact another landscaping firm." Her tone was rather rude, and her inflexibility sheds some light on what kind of service provider she would be. I'm glad that we had this exchange BEFORE I hired her (which I never will).

THIS WAS A JOB FOR MY FIANCE BUT I HAVE USED HER SEVERAL TIMES IN DEARBORN PARK AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY HAPPY. THE TOTAL CHARGE CAME IN LESS THAN THE ESTIMATE. LOIS GRIM IS DEDICATED -- SHE CARES ABOUT MAKING THE LANDSCAPING SUSTAINABLE (SHE WENT AND BOUGHT A SPECIAL SPRINKLING HOSE FOR THIS PROJECT BECAUSE SHE KNEW WE WOULD BE AWAY SOON AFTER THE PLANTING). SHE'S A ''THINKING'' GARDENER WITH A GREAT SENSE OF FORM AND DESIGN; HER BACKGROUND AS A FACULTY MEMBER AT UIC IN DESIGN SHOWS. SHE'S QUIET AND NOT SOMEONE WHO'S COMFORTABLE WITH A HARD SELL; SHE SIMPLY LIKES DOING WHAT SHE DOES AND WORKING WITH GOOD SUPPLIERS AND SUBS TO END WITH A GOOD RESULT.

LOIS COMMITTED TO HAVING A PLAN DONE FOR THE ASSOCIATION BOARD MEETING SCHEDULED 2 WEEKS FROM THE MEETING DATE. SHE NEITHER CALLED NOR DELIVERED THE PLANS. I PLACED ROUGHLY 6 PHONE CALLS PRIOR TO AND AFTER THE BOARD MEETING BEFORE GETTING A RETURN CALL WHEN I WAS INFORMED THAT LOIS DIDNT HAVE TIME TO DO THE WORK. I BELIEVE THE BEHAVIOR WAS UNPROFESSIONAL AND INCONSIDERATE.
Description of Work: I HIRED GREENSPACE TO CREATE A LANDSCAPING PLAN FOR MY CONDO. I MET THE COMPANY''S OWNER, FOR ABOUT 30 – 45 MINUTES TO DESCRIBE THE PROJECT AND WHAT I HOPED TO ACCOMPLISH. SHE TOOK DIGITAL IMAGES, AND DESCRIBED THE PLAN SHE WOULD PUT TOGETHER. I AGREED TO THE TERMS AND GATHERED SENT APPROPRIATE INFORMATION INCLUDING MY SURVEY PLATT, THE PROJECT OBJECTIVES, LIKES DISLIKES, ETC. THE BOTTOM LINE BEING THAT I PUT SIGNIFICANT TIME INTO THE ARRANGEMENTS.
