For the past several years our lawn would get thinner and thinner. After attempting to remedy the problem with lawn services, self fertilizing, etc. we decide to bite the bullet and just rip up the old lawn and put down new. We had selected several landscapers to come and give an estimate but Manu was so thorough and specific with what was going to be done we didn't even get more estimates. He frequently called to keep us up to date on the project as the installation date was pushed back by the weather several times (landscaping being a very weather dependent profession). When the job was completed he walked me through the yard giving specific instructions so that the new lawn would grow in correctly. Now after a month we have the best looking lawn on the block.
Description of Work: Remove and replace lawn.

Great experience. Manu actually came out prior to the start of his season to cut my lawn as it seemed to grow extremely fast at the beginning of the year.
Description of Work: Hired Manu to mow and take care of my lawn. This is the first time I've hired out a service for my lawn so I received a bunch of quotes before I ended up picking Manu. He was very responsive to all emails and phone calls with responses back within the same day. From a price standpoint, he beat/matched everyone I quoted out from both a cutting standpoint and fertilizing standpoint too. It's been a pleasure working with the team as they are very considerate and professional in their work. They treat your lawn like their own and it shows.

Grow Earth understands that we are constantly showing our home to prospective buyers. They went above and beyond to fit us into their packed schedule to make sure we had a home that would look nice. The customer service is outstanding! They were punctual, professional, care about the quality of work. They follow up after the job is completed to make sure you are satisfied. If there are additional needs or little tweaks that you want, Manu and his team respond immediately to make sure all details are completed to your satisfaction. The updated landscape to our home has helped increase inquiries. To that we are grateful to Grow Earth. In fact we look forward to using this company when we move and purchase a new home!
Description of Work: Our house is for sale and we needed some curb appeal. Manu came by to provide an estimate. Instead of overselling he was honest and forthright in recommending less expensive alternatives to achieve a professional looking landscape but cost effective. We were able to achieve beautiful results while not having to overspend.

Manu the owner came to our home within 24 hours of my call to get an estimate. He was great at both returning phone calls and texting me information I requested. Every person working with him was polite, answered all my questions (even the ones I asked more than once!), and respectful towards both my husband, myself, and our kids. The paver work and sod look wonderful; the neighbors from up and down the street all walked by and complemented the work, and one even asked for Manu's number so they could call them for similar services (believe me, before Grow Earth came, no one wanted their yard to look like ours!). Manu and crew even stayed late after the job was done and put extra sod in spots of our backyard that were bare. The entire crew went above and beyond, and I plan on calling them again for future services. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Grow Earth gave us an estimate, installed pavers for a walkway, and put sod in our front and part of our backyard.

I have finally found the people I will turn to whenever I need landscaping. Manu and Dan and two other young guys arrived, all dressed in jeans and matching work jackets. They were prompt, super courteous, and professional in every way. Except for the fact that Manu and Dan were directing the job, everyone had a shovel in hand and worked together. Even though I am hard to reach by phone, they were always prompt in returning my calls. I hired them to simply put three trees into the ground, but they ended up advising me on placement and giving me extra tips about caring for the trees. Great guys. Couldn't be more pleased. I will be hiring them to do one more job before the fall ends.
Description of Work: Planted and mulched 2 large trees and one small.

The work was very good. I met the owner and he really keeps good contact. He is planning to follow up with me because of the heat. There was a minimum of brown turf spots along the edges and he is going to work with me on those. He offered that to me and I didn't have to press him. He will take a look when he comes to do the first cut, which is important. He will work with me to assess those dead areas and replace them if necessary. I am really pleased with the service and the service after the sale. He is still willing to do follow up to make sure everything is taken care of and that I am happy with the job after he took the check. It is more service than I typically get from contractors.
Description of Work: I used Grow Earth to re-sod my front lawn. One man initially came and sprayed round-up on the lawn. About ten days later a crew of 5 or 6 men came out with rakes, power tools and power machines to tear up the dead lawn. They did a rough grading which was actually a pretty good grading of the lawn. Then within another week to 10 days a crew of 4 or 5 men came to sod the lawn.

All questions were answered throughly. Manu's expertise and ability to communicate his vision is remarkable.

Because our back yard is heavily shaded by a mature Norway maple, the lawn has had many bare spots. During the previous two years we had paid other landscaping companies to bring in topsoil, till up the remaining grass and sow grass seed. The results were very spotty. This spring we decided to contact three companies for estimates for laying sod in the yard. Manu came to our home, listened carefully to the description of the problem, and offered the possibility of using a sod that was grown specifically for shady areas. He proposed to give us an estimate for using the specialty sod, as well as an estimate for seeding the yard. He cautioned that the cost of the sod would be considerably higher than the cost of seeding. His manner was both courteous and responsive to our need. We received a timely estimate by email - the first of several email communications after we decided to have Manu's company work on our grass problem. (Two other companies had given us estimates, but did not suggest the special shade sod, so we decided to proceed with Manu's company.) Manu kept us informed about his work schedule, which had been been delayed because of the heavy spring rains. The day of the sod installation, he arrived with two co-workers after a long drive to the sod farm to get the special sod. The work was completed efficiently and carefully with a thorough clean-up of the area upon completion. We were given specific instructions for a watering schedule before Manu and his crew left. In addition, he sent us a follow-up email within a couple of days, asking about the appearance of the work. We very much appreciate his professionalism and thoroughness. We are faithfully following his watering instructions and our yard has never looked better! We have already shared Manu's contact information with a friend who has admired our yard. If we have other landscaping needs in the future, we will be sure to use Manu's company.
Description of Work: Overseeding our front lawn, tilling our back yard, laying sod in the back yard, planting a flowering bush, establishing a semicircle of 8-10 inch boulders around the base of a tree and filling the resulting area with topsoil so that a groundcover could be planted

From the initial phone call through the installation of my new backyard lawn it went very well. We hit a few small hiccups due to the non stop rain, but in the end everything was great. I am very satisfied.
Description of Work: Called Grow Earth and Spoke with Manu. He gave me a estimate for laying down sod in my backyard with my measurements and the original estimate is what I paid.. First He applied a generous roundup application to the back to kill any weeds present. After about 12 days he sent his crew over and they tilled my yard, cleaned out debris and layed down the new sod. His crew was professional and quick. They did a wonderful job laying down my new lawn and cleaned up after themselves beyond my expectations. You couldn't even tell there had been work done in my back yard.

Response from Grow Earth Sod Farm & Landscaping
We provide Lawn service to the following areas: Royal Oak, Birmingham, Troy, Clawson, & Berkley. Unfortunately, there are areas where we have no customer base and is completely out of our normal working range. It is odd to receive a rating based upon not being able to provide service since we do not service that area or provide a particular service.

Repeating the above, The job whent fine once the abnormal amount of rain stopped in our area The workers were professional. The owner was the finest business man that I have dealt with.
Description of Work: The owner is fine. He applied the first Round-up spray about 5-6 weeks ago but because our area in Michigan has had so much rain every day, he has not been able to spray again. Until Manu is able to complete the job in up to 2 months I can not give a report. Dr. Kerwin June 16,2011 The work was performed in the past 2 days. We had our lawn replaced. It was spayed twice to kill the old grass. On 6/14/11 the old sod was removed. Topsoil added. On 6/15 new sod was put in. I can not speak more highly of anybody that I have dealt with than 'Manu" the owner. He is very personable, honest and he does what he says. In fact in the process his men broke three sprinker heads. He paid my sprinkler company to repair them. I highly recommend the 'Grow Earth' company for anyone requiring Kentucky blue grass sod work. George Kerwin MD

I had been searching for a new lawn care provider last summer. I found Grow Earth thru Angie's List, and have been very happy with their services and their professionalism. From phone calls to scheduled appointments to regular service, their conduct and demeanor was always responsive, courteous and respectful. I recommend them to others, and will continue to use them for my lawn care this year.
Description of Work: Grow Earth provided my lawn care services from mid-summer thru the end of the season. The grass was cut weekly, and edging was done regularly too. Per my request, they used a somewhat smaller lawnmower in order to navigate around the yard without damaging any landscaping. I was very happy with the results, and especially with the fact that they listened to my requests and handled everything properly.

My property looks great. I am glad I found them. I will be calling them in a few weeks when it gets warmer to do some other work for me. I recommend them highly.
Description of Work: I hired Grow Earth to do the spring clean up for me in front and back and in the flower beds. They did an excellent job for me plus a little extra like taking down the burlap cover around one of my trees and blowing off the deck. The workers were very polite and accommodating. I talked to them and they said they can help me with others things I need done. I also hired Grow Earth to cut my front and back lawn. I have a back that is bigger than normal for $39.

From the start to the finish Grow Earth paid very close attention to the detail of our requirements. The entire team was very professional, conducting themselves in a utmost professional manner. The guys were polite, and the entire team seemed eager to please. They all seemed to enjoy the work they do, when asked for anything that I or my husband need changed...without a fuss, grow was able to accommodate all changes necessary. Our landscape started with Manu approaching and presenting his vision to my husband and I. Manu was present throughout the process. Our project started off with the demolition of our entire front yard. The entire landscape was removed - the plants that needed to be replanted were carefully dug out. The existing retaining walls were dismantled. Top soil was brought in and landscape beds were established. New landscape was installed. A beautiful rustic walkway was also installed. We were so happy with the service and work we hired them to maintain our property and my daughters property in Royal Oak. Now they provide complete lawn care and landscape maintenance to our properties. We wish Manu and his crew the best and we highly recommend using their services
