Greener Horizons Landscaping

Pricing was competitive, work was done in a timely manner. Patio and landscaping looked good on completion in June 2013. After only a couple of months, however, most of the bushes were showing significant distress, even though we watered them faithfully, as the company's owner, Pete Merski, advised. Within another month, all but one or two were dead. Additionally, lawn areas dug up by the company's equipment failed to regrow grass as we were led to believe they would. Mr. Merski's response (replantings/seeding) to correct this was slow, with no action being taken until May of 2014. It was at this time that I noticed for the first time that Mr. Merski's crew, rather than dispose of the demo'ed cement from the stoop, had instead shoved it (large heavy blocks) under the existing deck, hidden from view. I pointed this out to Mr. Merski who told me that he would have it properly removed. Since then, while most of the replantings appear healthy, one of the laurels has died. Mr. Merski has failed to respond to emails (including photo) and voice messages (at least four of each) throughout the course of this summer to install another laurel and remove the chunks of cement . He has our money and seems to consider his obligations to professionally close out the job, therefore, complete. I would not use his services again, and would not recommend him to others.

I found them on Angie's List so I figured it out that if they are there they had to be reputable. They are very professional and gave me the quote right away.

Everything was great- I really liked working with Pete. He was upfront about cost and we feel that we had a top notch outcome. Our front walkway looks fantastic and all of the plantings around are looking good, too. Now that we're getting to spring (finally), I am excited to see how all of the plants come back to life. I would highly recommend Pete and his team.

excellent. Pete was very patient and true to his word. Timely and reliable. Patio looks get a year later. I would definitely recommend and will use again in the future!

Contractor needs to stay on property while work is being done, or have a qualified supervisor who speaks ENGLISH stay on site while work is being done.

We went with the pavers because if there was any damage you can just replace the area needed compared to the concrete that would get cracks. We also have them back around every June to re-mulch the beds. The company that installed our whole house generator, which is about 5'x2', suggested the pavers inclosing it. Greener Horizons Landscaping made it look really nice and tied it in with the flower beds.

The Greener Horizons Landscaping Crew arrived promptly and set to work. They removed the large overgrown Magnolia Tree and the scraggly boxwood hedges. They were able to save the azaleas, and they moved them to the rear of my house. New soil was added, and the colorful plants were carefully placed and mulched. I now have color year round from blooming spring plants to colorful leaves to berries for the birds in the fall. The old brick sidewalk was removed. The old bricks were stacked behind my shed ready to be used for edging in my vegetable garden. The pavers went down. I now have a beautiful wide curved walk leading to the front door. The pavers are a blessing. My husband tends to make wide turns when mowing the grass and had clipped the corner of one of the pavers. Mr. Merski came right out and replaced the paver. If I had had a concrete walk, the chip would have required a whole section be replaced. Shoveling snow on the pavers is a breeze--no problem. I wish I had had this work done sooner. The Greener Horizons Crew comes back each spring to mulch the beds and trim what needs to be done to keep things looking super. I visited Mr. Merski's booth at the Home Show in Charles County recently. They now install lighted pavers. I can just see several pavers along that wide curved front walk just lighting the way to the front door.
