Description of Work: The owner of the company came to give us an estimate. She is very professional, who listened to our concerns and gave great suggestions. We need an estimate and she provided it within a couple of days of her visit. We have yet to compare her quote to other companies', but it seems to be a fair price.

Just did that above.
Description of Work: Dee Busch came out quickly to give me an estimate for major clean up/mulching/planting of our greenways. Got an estimate from her promptly. I made a few changes to the project. She adjusted the estimate and we scheduled the work the next week. The crew was on time, did a great job of getting rid of weeds/unwanted plants, then planting new plants and mulching the area. And, they cleaned up the area nicely and trucked away all of old plantings/garbage. I would use them again and definitely recommend them for your landscaping work!

Company never followed-up with me.
Description of Work: Contacted them for an estimate on re-seeding or sodding front lawn. Received a call right back and spoke with someone who said I would get an estimate in a few days, but then they never followed-through with an estimate, even after I called them to see where it was. During that follow-up call the contact said she would drop it off by the next day, but I never received anything.

Response from Greenlawn Landscaping
We are sorry you thought we did not respond. We spoke on May 11, we visited the property on May 12 and emailed an estimate that day. A followup message from the office was left on the 14th. Perhaps the emailed estimate ended up in spam. Upon seeing this post, we have resent the estimate and would be happy to perform the work.

Greenlawn missed the first date we set up. They came promptly on the second date. Greenlawn sent three men to do a job that could have been done by two men at the most; one to do the cutting and one to hold the ladder. The third man mostly stood around.They were here less than an hour. I was quoted $25 an hour on the phone but this became $30 on the invoice. The arbor vitae was trimmed just as I wanted it. The slight trim on the small tree turned into a major cut that was not well done. The total job was uneven in performance.
Description of Work: The Arbor Vitae shrubs were getting too tall and needed 18 inches removed from the top. Also, the small serviceberry tree needed a slight trim.

The work was performed flawlessly. They showed up on time and worked until about 7pm each weekday night for over a week. Design was very nice. We changed our minds a few times and they adapted nicely. They came back after another job to do some planting. Dee was very good and concerned about their trucks' impact on our neighbors. They arranged with another contractor to dig up the old concrete patio. I contacted them early in the Spring, which was good because they seemed to get very busy as summer went on.
Description of Work: Replaced a cracked cement patio with pavers and a flower bed. Also performed some landscaping with flowers and plantings. They also widened driveway by moving a row of bushes and putting pavers along driveway and where trash cans are located.

They did a beautiful job. Left a clean work site when done. We get compliments on it all the time. One small hiccup is that they were so busy that it took forever to get the work scheduled. I called in May and they were so busy the couldn't come until late June/early July. So plan ahead.
Description of Work: They put a new brick border around our garden, including digging up the old one. They also re-mulched that garden and the areas in front where we have hedges.

She was able to squeeze us in between jobs to accommodate a neighborhood/condo get-together that we already had scheduled. The punctuality and professionalism is greatly appreciated.
Description of Work: For the second year in a row, Dee helped us with our backyard. The backyard gets almost no sun whatsoever, so we have to really work on the lawn. Dee's people installed sod and helped us keep it going as best it can in our nearly sun-less yard.

Dee and Marla are great. They save you money. They can design. They take every house they have to heart. Someone on their crew always speaks English which is important. They keep the same employees for years. The price includes planting.
Description of Work: They've put in a whole yard designed for privacy in a beautiful setting. They also put in bushes and Evergreens.

Dee Bush is the name of the owner and she does really good work. I found her on Angie's List and I think that she does a professional job. She was quick, got the job done in 2 days and I was happy with the end result.
Description of Work: Greenlawn completely re-landscaped my 25 by 35 back yard with hardscape and shrubbery.
