Description of Work: I called/ left message on business phone twice, and my calls were never returned. I do not expect my business calls to be returned immediately, or during the daytime, since small businesses often constitute one or two employees, and many business responsibilities must be juggled simultaneously. However, waiting a respectful amount of time, calling a second time and never receiving a reply makes me cautious in wanting to hire firms to work for me on a dependable basis.

Overall the work was very good.We wanted edging along brick areas which was not done, but the price was lowered. Great advice about new beds, planting and organic plant and lawn care. maybe not as 'neat' as some providers but they are great to work with and we will hire them again.

We have been very happy with GoGreen. We've used them for the past couple of years for spring and fall cleanup, mulching, and mowing. They use environmentally friendly products, are always friendly and professional, and offer very competitive prices. We switched from another company that was ridiculously expensive albeit perfectionist in its work. The finished product is no longer quite as perfect looking, but it is very good ... between the value and the environmental commitment, we are happy with the switch.

GoGreen was, as usual, quick and meticulous in repairing winter ravages. GoGreen has helped us in our small urban yard for several years and are always thoughtful. They are environmentally sensitive, and have deep knowledge about plants and landscaping care. Their prices are very fair. They put up with my imperfect gardening ideas, but provide expert plans for more serious home gardeners.

We usually hire GoGreen for gardening and yard work, and they are wonderful. We were in a pinch in February, though, and needed snow work done because we were going to be out of town. Michael came and shoveled and de-iced and generally totally took care of the place, so we didn't have to worry. Michael DeLacey and the people who work with him at GoGreen are dedicated, professional, intelligent, caring, and really nice. They do a spectacular job. The person we had work on our yard before GoGreen always produced a bare patch in our lawn. I couldn't figure it out, and talked with him several times over several years about it. He said it was the shade from the trees. After we hired GoGreen, Michael suggested not using the weedkiller that the former gardener had used, and let the area naturally recover. It now is lovely lawn. I could not recommend GoGreen more highly. -- Jane Mansbridge, 3 Walker St., Cambridge Mass.

We've used Michael for lawn clean ups in Spring and Fall. He arrived on time and delivered the service within the time frame he promised and explained what he would do and why. No noisy leaf blowers! We especially love that he will not use any toxic products. We will probably use him more in the future as we now know him better and want his help in improving our lawn and plantings.
Description of Work: We have used Michael and his company for two years now. He is courteous, responsive, polite - everything you would want in a vendor. He has done yard work as well as snow removal for us. He is true to his work, easy to relate to, and offers solutions in a collaborative way. We will continue to use him in the future.

Michael has been taking care of my yard for two years now, and to my shame I am just getting around to recognizing him for his work. He is honest, hard working, and takes pride in what he does. He has a commitment to treating the environment with respect, and forgoes the use of toxins for safer, more labor intensive options. I highly recommend his company.

Our yard has been a problem since we moved in. None of the individual owners in our 3 unit condo building had been able to keep up with the yard work. The result was a few years of weeds and almost trees taking over our front, side and back yard. After a few attempts at weeding, the condo association decided to hire someone to help. We had a few companies come by to give us estimates, and although Go Green's was not the lowest estimate,wewere convinced that Go Green was the most knowledgeable and willing to do the most work to ensure the weeds would not return. We were very pleased with the end result ( a yard that no longer made us the embarrassment of the neighborhood). We are planning on using Go Green again for regular yard maintenance.
Description of Work: Yard clean up and waste disposal for front yard, side yard and backyard. The yard was very over grown so there was a lot of weeding and downed branch removal.

very well. See other description.
Description of Work: Michael called a day or two after my inquiry asking if he could come over immediately. This was fine and he was there in the evening on Monday. He brought two other people back with him on Wednesday and completed most of the job we'd talked about - removing a tree and a large rose bush, trimming another tree, and general clean-up. I needed them to come back again for a couple more hours of work and they did the following day and the garden is great! Other companies called to set up appointments after Michael and crew already got the job done. I'm thrilled!

Excellent- no complaints whatsoever
Description of Work: We emailed Michael about giving an estimate on some yardwork we needed done quickly so that we could put our home up for sale. He emailed us back within an hour, and arranged to come to our home on labor day to give an estimate. He performed the work the next day for LESS than the estimate. He was punctual, professional, and did a great job. We would absolutely use him again

I agree with the other positive reviews on Angie's list (which is why we hired him in the first place). He is nice, smart, professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He is easy to schedule, communicates well, and is responsive to client requests. His rates are very reasonable. We recommend him highly.
Description of Work: We hired Michael for organic lawncare (fertilizer, grass seeding) and to trim our hedges and shrubs. We will continue to work with him for yard maintainance and taking care of our lawn because he provides excellent service and successfully "rescued" our lawn using natural fertilizers and "green" products.

They did an excellent job. We left for work with a jungle of a backyard and patio area, and came back to a beautifully landscaped backyard. I told him that I wanted the soil to be "plant-ready" assuming that I would be doing some planting. He re-arranged some plants so that if I didn't have time to get to planting right away, the backyard still looked great. I don't know the price of this work unfortunately, because my husband hired them as a birthday present to me. He did say that he was surprised at how reasonable the price was.
Description of Work: Michael did a spring clean up for us in our backyard. This included weeding, moving old bricks, tilling soil, adding mulch, etc. Even though we didn't ask for it, he rearranged some plants beautifully, used rocks in our yard in a creative way, and answered follow up questions via email about plants.

We were desperately looking for someone to deal with our unkempt-looking lawn and to do some much-needed spring cleaning. Mike came by, gave us a reasonable estimate, and (hearing the desperation in my voice) fit us in immediately into his schedule -- the very next day. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. Our yard has never looked better.

He worked well within the outlined time and price ranges. The 6,000 included labor and materials. I have a wall of bamboo which offers privacy (a very labor intensive addition to my backyard and planted properly - as bamboo should be planted in lined trenches) an amazing stone patio, small fruit trees and many native plants that are amazing. He was very knowledgeable, patient and gracious and his work crew worked incredibly hard. They also cleaned the area every evening and covered dirt and stones if rain was expected.I wholeheartedly recommend Michael and GoGreenLawnCare in Jamaica Plain. They are awesome!
Description of Work: Michael evaluated my yard space and made numerous recommendations. Michael's areas of interest and expertise are with native plants - however he was happy to provide me with advice and labor and design ideas using native and non-native species. He was very open to my creative ideas. He put a stone patio in paying close attention to my desire for an organic layout - it is gorgeous and perfect in every way and his choice to dot the patio with moss makes it look like it's been there for many years. Just what I wanted. He planted and paid close attention to my goals. He checked in with me often - re: design as well as price of plants and small trees. By the end of the season I had a great variety of plants, shapes and colors - very pleasing to the eye - very organic looking. I love the work he did. My space is small but the way it is designed and framed it actually feels much bigger now.
