Greenspace Inc

My initial phone call was returned within the hour and Lois asked very clear questions to help me figure out just what I needed and what was realistic. We were able to quickly agree on a time for her crew to come to the house and what I needed to prepare for the visit. Lois came to the house to see the property 1 week before the work was scheduled. she called to let me know she would be a few minutes late which I appreciated. She was very clear about how the work would be done and even gave me advice on some things I could do myself to make a better landscape. I had purchased 10 hours of labor for an amazing $200.00 and I knew the amount of work I needed would exceed that. Lois was able to get me the estimate later that day and I found it agreeable. Lois called to see if they could come a little early the day of the scheduled work and that was great. The work was quick and neat and when I got home that evening my house was transformed. They did everything I asked. Left it neater than they found it and even gave me free advice on how to make it better.

Phoned the company to inquire about services and set an appointment. My call was answered by someone who told me he couldn't speak with me right now (he was walking into a store and didn't have time to speak with me at the moment). He returned my call with in a few days, took my information (name/number/details of my request/address) and told me a sales person would call me back. It's been over a week and I have not heard back from anyone. Unfortunate since based on the photos on their Angie's List page and the reviews I would have hired them. But based on my experience, the company is lacking professionalism and follow up. Probably not the best person to hire.

As with our first experience with this company things went very well. Lois was really great about meeting with us early in the process and talking us through ideas and options for our various spaces. The work turned out about exactly as we expected, and our yard turned out great. We may for the third year in a row be calling on these guys to replace our suffering lilac plants. My wife and I are big fans of this company.

They do a good job. They cut the grass always. They show up when they are supposed to. They are very fast. I will recommend them to others.

I contacted Lois last October and discussed the proposed move for the Spring. I gave her a vision of what I thought it might look like and she drew up estimates for different options with photos of trees and bushes for each. We kept in communication and we set a date early in the Spring for the work. She sent out two men that did the work within two hours. They cleaned up afterward and hauled off the old material and watered the new sod. I was given full instructions and had a better than anticipated result. Great company!

All contact was by email. I provided a general list of the services we needed an estimate on. A date and time was agreed upon (and double checked). Lois arrived right on time, but could not exit the estimate fast enough. With each item presented, she attempted to end the estimate and leave. When the list of items was completed, she left, having taken no written notes, and only a few photos. After a few business days, she emailed me that she didn't think that they were a good fit for the work and suggested another contractor. Having provided a list of what we needed upfront, the visit was a waste of our time and hers, and she was clearly disinterested in the job from the minute she arrived. The one blessing was that she was here such a short time that we wasted only minutes, but having gone to decent lengths to accommodate her schedule, I just wish she had been honest about not being interested and saved us all precious weekend time.

It went very well. They were really excellent, responsive, and very creative with their solutions.

Lois followed up on my request for an estimate very promptly and came out personally to look at my garden so that she could better understand what I wanted to do. It wasn't a good fit for the services Greenspace provides so Lois connected me with a workman she highly recommended.

We ended up using a different contractor to do the landscaping work we needed, but Lois was extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and friendly, and her prices were competitive. She was our second choice, and one of the reasons we didn't use her was that we would have had to call another service (though she did give us a recommendation of who to call) to do part of the work that her company doesn't do (shrub/tree removal). We were a bit overwhelmed with work and work around the house and didn't have the time or energy to call to get an estimate for that part of the job, so if it hadn't been for that, we may have used Greenspace for this job. She also has one of the coolest business card designs I have ever seen and a great website, which leads me to believe that her company would really care about the aesthetics of the job.

We needed to spruce up our parkway, front garden and back yard as well as do planters for our deck in prep for a big party. Lois came over, came up with a sensible plan and got it done all on short notice at the height of the season.

Lois came by to find out what we wanted done. She listened to our ideas and provided good ideas of her own. She provided an estimate based on what we had discussed and it was quite reasonable relative to the other estimate we got (also from an AListed company). She and her people did the work as discussed, on time and neatly. We are very pleased with the results, especially the 4 planters she did for us. Months later, I emailed her a question about upkeep/fertilization and she responded the same day - especially important for us gardening novices.

Great experience. We had recently moved in and done nothing with our front garden, so it needed a fair amount of work. Lois was extremely knowledgable about the health of our plants. She gave us guidance on what we needed to do, picked out new plants for us, and promptly arranged for the work by her team. She had a good eye for the aesthetics of the space, too. The work was done without any problems. Lois is quite honest, as well, which we really appreciated. She quoted us a price for the flagstone, and ended up invoicing us for less, presumably because they didn't use the entire amount. All in all, great experience, and we will look forward to using this company again in the future.

Very good experience! I received a return call within 24 hours to set up a time to meet & get ideas on what to do with my yard (just bought a house). All of my plants, shrubs, and trees were identified by Lois & she then set up a time (within the week) to do a fall clean-up for me. What she wasn't able to do herself, she was able to bring another contractor in to do & he did a great job as well! The total price for both jobs was $150, which was very reasonable. I look forward to working more with her in the future!

They were very responsive, punctual and professional, and provided us with a lovely design free of charge. We went with another company for personal reasons but Greenspace seems great and I'd recommend them.

Don't bother calling them...they have all the business they can handle. Not taking new clients! I called Lois to get a quote on some landscaping for my home. She showed up on time for the initial appointment, but seemed bored and uninterested in the work. I was looking for some ideas and creativity and someone who was into her work. Lois seemed to be going through the motions. She told me she'd send me a quote within a week. Six days later I received an email saying they have too much business and they're not seeking new clients. I can't say if the work is good or bad, I can simply report that the recession has not affected Greenspace and they are turning away work. Call someone else. It's a shame; I have money and lot's of landscaping projects for the home!

Lois was very responsive to emails and phone calls. She came to our house to take photos of our yard and get an idea of what we were looking for. She drew up a great plan that combined her expertise and our needs. We selected a date and Lois and her crew created a new front yard for us in a matter of hours. She was very professional, helpful and trustworthy. The plants look great!

I loved working with Lois. She was always responsive. She even came back and planted more mulch to hide our soaker hose. She also moved a tree I was concerned about. Basically, she's awesome. The plants are thriving and have been blooming throughout the summer. We couldn't be happier.

Greenspace's owner Lois is the best of the best. There is no reason to look anywhere else. This is my fourth year of using Greenspace to maintain our yard, deck plantings, etc. I cannot be more pleased. They are a very capable firm and only deal in top of the line plants (not Home Depot stuff). I have had them install flagstone pavers, build custom cedar panters, install all kinds of cool plants, etc. over the years. This year they built a 63 ft. plant bed for me that is in a challenging location (dark, dry, next to new construction). Suffice of to say, it is awesome! What I like the best about Lois is that she knows her business. You don't have to be an expert to have your yard look like you are. Lois carefully listens to your needs and can do virtually anything, but isn't afraid to tell you if you are off base. Lois knows her plants and what works and what doesn't. In summary, Greenspace is responsive, they have never missed an appointment, they hire top quality subs when needed, and they stand behind their work. I highly recommend them.

Were here when promised. Did good job, made sugestions for some areas--was pleased with results

This company was punctual and finished the job on time. They discussed with me what I wanted done and did what was expected of them. I was satisfied with the finished project.

Lois was very professional and great to work with. She was very responsive, listened to our needs and provided great recommendations. Her suggestions were creative but still met the challenges of the space (not much sun, we are not gardeners). Our front planter looks wonderful and the entire project only took a couple weeks from the initial site visit.

Lois was very good at listening to what we wanted. She was available to do the work quickly. She was just very reliable. She was also very knowledgeable about what she was doing. She knew what our existing plants were and also understood the implications about what would work where.

They were very good at what they did. They worked very hard while they did the work. They were very professional. I would recommend them and use them again.

Lois was great all through the process. She is very responsive, which is rare in the landscaping industry. She also does high quality work for reasonable rates. I interviewed 4 landscaping companies, with estimates all over the place. I was very happy that I chose Greenscape. She is continuing to do periodic maintenance landscaping work.

In addition to advising on the trees, Lois made good suggestions for additional plants. Her carpenter s planter boxes were out of our budget, but we found another carpenter on our own. Lois seemed to miss some follow-up but when we initiated she was responsive. She didn t supervise the work or check it afterward. The workers were slightly short on dirt and mulch. When we said we d pick it up, she took us up on it. There was a price increase over the initial quote, but she did take it off on the final bill. There had been a scheduling problem both on our end and hers and the relationship seemed a bit tense from then on. The end result was good and the price was competitive.
