Mark and his team were outstanding. Mark called me within hours of reaching out via Angie's List. Came right out to look at what we wanted, gave us a great idea of what would work plant wise. He was thorough, fair priced. His team came in and did great work and cleaned up after themselves. Plants and bushes look great. I will be using them again for sure.

Job was done in 2013 and a BBB review was done then. Mark planned the original landscaping and that was fine. When it came to the installation, I was not pleased. The crew did not cut or remove the burlap bags on the shrubs, and more than half died. I called Mark and was told he was out of town looking at landscaping. He didn't return my call or even call as a follow up.

Not so good. We were very disappointed with the quality of the trees and shrubs they planted. Many of the trees died, but Greiner did come out a year later and replaced them. Most of the replanted ones lived, but they look terrible.
Description of Work: They re-landscaped the entire yard.

They have really positive reviews on Angie's List website. They did extensive services. They are spectacular. Marc Greiner, the owner, he's highly experienced, he has a degree in horticulture and you'd only talk to him for a few minutes and you know that this man knows what he's doing. He delivered and he did a wonderful job. He was very fast coming out and talking with me, he was thorough, he asked me a lot of questions about what types of plants I was looking for and I don't make decisions easily so he gave me recommendations based on the floral quality and the lighting because we have a lot of trees. He gave me recommendations on what he would suggest planting and so I gave him some basic guidelines on what I did not want as far as plants and the types of plants that I like. He gave me a book that I could look through while he was kind of surveying the property, so that I could put post-it notes next to the flowers and plants that I like. Even though he probably would not be able to get every single one of them, he would use that as a guide and that's what he did. They were big enough that the landscaping looked wonderful right after he did it, it's not like they needed to grow for a while in order to look good. They look fantastic. He had really good follow-up. He came back personally several times to make sure everything was coming along. We did lose one tree and he did not hesitate to replace it because he guarantees his plants for a year. He came back and replaced it with the same tree and it's doing fine. The price was much, much lower than I expected. All around it was a really good experience. I had him do some hardscape work. He had a brick walkway built from the front of our house to our driveway around to our back patio. Separately he hooked us up with someone he works with to put up a privacy fence across the back of our backyard. This is the guy to go to for landscaping and hardscape work.
Description of Work: I've used Greiner Landscaping. They completely re-landscaped our backyard. They modified the landscape beds to alter their shape and size. They planted 3 trees, about 15 shrubs and probably over a hundred perennials and then mulched everything.

They didn't edge very well. I feel they should have asked me how i wanted the flower bed to look and how it was to be done. I had to have them come back a couple of times to seal and dirt where we originally said it was going to be. When they finally brought the dirt, it was just laid down. It wasn't nicely put. This whole meeting with the main person who great but i just wasn't as pleased with the service.

DO NOT HIRE THESE PEOPLE! This was a HORRIBLE experience. Mark was punctual for the first meetingand wrote down what I wanted and gave an estimate. Since it was close to the other 2 estimatesand he could do it quicker, I chose him. I didn't have Angie's List at that time :) He said that I didn't need to be present when the plants were installed; however, I insisted. I'm so glad that I was there! He brought the wrong kind of bushes and I would have only discovered that later, had I not been there. He had to go back to the nursery that day and get the correct bushes. The stones used on the stone path were very small. It looks sooo cheap! I have never seen a stone path like this! Three of the tress died. I opted to replace them with 1 larger tree to block the view of my neighbor's patio and door. He did not mark where to put the tree when I showed him. His employee showed up 2 days later without letting me know and put the tree in the wrong place. Although the tree is large enough to do the job, he planted it in the wrong place! If I would have been there, I could have shown him and it would have been done correctly. He just wants to put something in the ground, get your money and be done with the job. He didn't want me involved. Way over priced for what I got and the experience was terrible. NEVER AGAIN!
Description of Work: front landscaping with bushes and grasses. Arborvitaes installed in side back yard, stone path from front drive to back.mulch in all beds.

It was a horrible experience from top to bottom. The owner is disorganized and was unclear with what they were going to do. I have had multiple friends around German Village use them and none have been happy or gone back. It is overpriced and there are too many issues with the work. Mark (the owner) is hard to get in touch with and they do not schedule their work and time appropriately.
Description of Work: I thought this would be a good and reputable business since it is based in German Village and has so many customers around the village. I had the owner (Mark) come meet me to discuss plans and options. He spoke very vaguely ablout what could be done. There was no design, no specific plan, and no dates set up. We confirmed we wanted one item done to start. They transplanted large boxwoods for me and did not tell me when they were coming. They just showed up during the day while I was at work and moved them to the wrong places. They also did not transplant them well. It was hard to get in touch with them after this. Mark said that they would fix the problem once the boxwoods were more stable after the transplant. Well, that never happened. Because they were transplanted poorly during July (hot and dry), even with my watering they never made it. Greiner came back after the boxwoods had died and removed them without talking to me about it. When they removed them they cut through the wiring for my landscape lighting for my house. I now have to replace that on top of my boxwoods. I didn't want to call them after this because I didn't want them doing any more damage to my house. I never heard from Mark or the company again (never an apology or taking any responsibility). I never had to pay for the services but I feel like they should have replaced the boxwoods and lighting as the plants were large and would easily cost over 100 per boxwood to replace and the service was poor.

Horrible! I have to hire someone to undo all the frustration & damage this company has caused! So I basically have to pay twice for the same exact work!
Description of Work: This company is the most dishonest company! I hired this company to come remove all of the old dirt as there was a plant that had taken over all of the beds and it grew shoots that were really far in the ground and it was taking over everythiong. It was wrapping around the roots of good plants & suffucating them along with growing at a rate that was impossible to keep up with making my yard look awful. I also requested new dirt and too take out the old mulch & repolace it as what was purchased previously didn't biodegrade and was attracting (at any alarming rate) pills bugs. This company was only to complete work while I was at home and I made this apparent. This compnay arrived one morning when I was leaving for work to complete the job without my permission. Because I was so detailed on what I wanted completed I allowed them to proceed this was my biggest mistake of all time! Never allow a contract on your property without you being present. I realized a couple of days later whenI was out in the garden none of old dirt was removed and the old mulch was still present. I contacted Greiners right away and he assured me the work was completed. Then he came to my home I showed him and he blamed it on his crew. Only the owner was present on the day of installation so his crew only did as he advised. After several months of back and forth (by the way the work still was NEVER COMPLETED) The owner finally admitted to not doing the work and said he thought it was best not to! I disputed a small portion of the charge the charge and won but now the owner is still trying to collect payment for work he chose to never complete. Beware of dishonesty & lack of integrity! Even if he thought the dirt was good and he thought he shouldn't go to the root of the plant I hired him to do this very thing he should do as I am paying him to do regardless! If you chose to hire this merhcant do not allow them out of your sight & make sure the contract is very detailed. He likes to leave it vague so he can basically do whatever he wants or doesn't feel like doing!

I met Mark Greiner at a spring home show and asked him to quote a landscaping job, mainly for hardscaping. After the initial discussions and quotes, he was the leading bidder. I worked with him on creating a plan. At first he didn't think a written plan was needed but after several confusions on the quote and what was in it, I insisted on a drawn plan. He said he would bring his landscape architect by to draw up the plan in a few days. After 3 weeks, he finally called saying they would come by. Then when I received the plan, it had no details, no measurements, and it was not to scale. Basically anyone could have drawn this plan on a piece of paper; it was not worth $150. After this experience, I could not trust him to finish the job and awarded the work to someone else.
Description of Work: Estimated landscaping job. Completed landscaping plan. Although expected to have Greiner complete the landscaping plan, the poor job on the drawing and inconsistencies in quotes led me to discontinuing working with them.
