Description of Work: I asked for a proposal for a landscaping project. They were very good at listening to my needs, and came up with the best proposal among the ones that I received. I ended up not doing the project this year but I would definitely go back to them next year to do the project. Very professional, very pleasant to work with.

Thank you for the A grade. It was great meeting with this prospective client. I provided a creative proposal and estimate but the home owner apparently was not ready to start the project. Hopefully we'll get the call when he is ready!

Description of Work: In 2011 they made a large bed in the front yard with beautifully chosen plants and ground cover, built a small retaining stone wall. In 2012 built small stone sitting area with plantings around it, leaving spacing for large pots. It is beautiful, stone is even, well mulched where not stone. Love it.

They are great. They do design, install and maintenance. He designed the whole yard and did a wonderful job They will also be back in the spring to maintain the work. Mike Olson, the owner, did the work and is very easy to work with and I couldn't be more happy with the outcome.
Description of Work: They removed about 20 trees and designed a whole yard landscape for me.

Mike Olson (owner) met with us and proposed a new design for our front yard based on our input. After some changes, we gave the go-ahead and our job was started within a week. The job was done smoothly and professionally. Mike was there every day not only overseeing but also doing the work. His entire group is great! We ran just one unexpected issue, and Mike was great to work with to make it right. They did such a nice job that our next-door neighbors used them as well. We are delighted with the result. They were done in about a week (amazing)! They even did some things that weren't on the list, and came out and re-sodded an area that I hadn't watered properly without me even asking. We shopped around a bit, and found that pricing was good, and the trust level was solid. I would use Great Goats again for my next project.
Description of Work: Front yard redesigned, trees trimmed, old plants/bushes removed, new retaining walls, cut into driveway with redesigned pavers, re-sod yard, and landscape lighting was installed.

I appreciate your high ratings and reviews. Your project turned out great, many wonderful details. I still get great response to photos of the paver brick "swoosh" we did on your driveway.

When asked how she obtained our name and address, she would not give me a valid answer and became very nasty when I asked to speak to the manager, which she said she was. She hung up on me when I asked her to take me off her mailing list.
Description of Work: I called to obtain some information after receiving a mailing from this company.

Customer was removed from our mailing list. We regret the negative experience. Contact with customer had been made by short term employee, not a manager. This employee no longer works for Great Goats Landscaping.

Thank you for your "A" ratings. I would give this client "A" ratings, too, for their collaborative input...then stepping back and allowing us to do our thing. I take photos every few years, as this project keeps looking better and better.
