Fabulous. So thankful for Bright Side. Kevin the project manager is a perfect knowledgable communicator throughout. He walked through the yard and listened taking notes and provided great tips about the shrubs at both visits. The quote and execution were timely. The price was affordable. His staff conquored our challenging yard with speed and accuracy. Thank you greatly. I had a pile of limbs I had trimmed that they moved along with the branches they trimmed to a previously determined location and Kevin walked around the house at the end to make sure it was satisfactory with me at the end. Will definitely call again.
Description of Work: Trimmed very overgrown shrubbery on 3 sides of the house. Treated 15 shrubs for insects.

I have been using Bright Side for over a year now. I reached out to a new provider after having a horrible experience with my last company. I talked to George (the owner) initially and he sent his team to evaluate. Since switching over, my yard has never looked better! Every week it is perfectly mowed and the entire yard is cleaned up. Very reasonably priced for weekly mowing of 1.5 acres. So glad I switched over and I plan to use George and his company for additional projects soon.

They were efficient and very knowledgeable about what the lawn needed and what would not work on the lawn., They did exactly what they said they would do when we had discussed the job prior to having the work done. They cleaned up everything after the job was completed. Made a telephone call to us after the job was completed to ensure everything had been done to our satisfaction. They were so good that we will probably have them come to do an annual service to the lawn. Their price was very, very reasonable for the amount of work they did.

They ran extensions on all downspouts and into collectors. They buried all extensions and planted grass over the dug up area. Increased the burms next to the house and filled in a couple of low spots in the yard. They also reseeded those areas. It was a great job by some really good guys and hard workers.

I have been most pleased with all the work. It has been such a pleasure working with George. He is a true professional. We hired him not just to "plant" but to give us ideas on what would or wouldn't work in our yard. He has the knowledge and experience to make great landscaping choices/recommendations. He arrives on time for appointments and is clear about when the crew can begin and complete work. He never over-promised anything he couldn't deliver. It is so refreshing to have such great customer service. When there have been any issues, George has been immediately responsive. He instructs as he does his estimates, helping us to understand the scope of the work and why certain trees/shrubs will do better in different environments. He answered each of my questions until I was satisfied that I could care for the plants he brought. We plan to do more work in the future and will be contacting George at Bright Side!
Description of Work: We have now used Bright Side twice over the last 4 months. To this date, George and his crew have built 2 raised beds in our back yard and planted 14 shrubs, 5 bushes and three ornamental trees in the beds. They used tan & white paving-type stones on the front of the beds and the low stone walls look even better than I had envisioned. The crew has also planted a kidney shaped bed with 3 crape myrtles. They planted a total of 3 large maples and 3 flowering cherries in the side and front yards.

Contacted Bright Side about service on my St. Augustine grass lawn; weed & feed, and aerate. Just wanted someone to check out the lawn which had become more weedy than normal. Called me within 24 hours and we discussed St. Augustine grass and how rare it is in Knoxville. Told him my situation and he understood as he was from Texas and had a lot of experience with St. Augustine grass. Came the following day, measured the lawn, checked for insect infestations and grubs, knelt and analyzed the condition of the grass, and discussed his findings. He was very knowledgeable about the grass and his information compared favorably with what I had researched on the internet. He gave me a quote which I accepted. Someone came the following week and aerated and fertilized the lawn. Very pleased with the results!

Every aspect of this work was done in a completely professional and courteous manner. George (the owner) replied quickly to my initial email requesting an estimate. One of his employees, David, arrived exactly on time to provide the estimate. In addition to being punctual, he was courteous, polite, friendly, and answered all my questions about the work to be done. Because of a heavy workload, Bright Side was not able to do the work for about 2 weeks but this was communicated to me "up front" and that was fine with me. David arrived with a crew of 3 workers at 10:00 a.m., instructed them on what was to be done, and they immediately began work. All three men were also polite and friendly. I was impressed with their diligence and thoroughness. The job took approximately 6 hours, and although it was a very hot and humid day they only took a short break once. They mulched more than a dozen flower/plant beds. Our backyard is steep and heavily terraced with a lot of decorative castle rock which makes access for mulching very laborious. Trucks cannot reach the area so all the mulch had to be placed in wheelbarrows and manually brought down steps to complete the work. The workers took great care not to disturb the plants or the decorative stone, and cleaned up when finished. My husband I and will definitely use Bright Side again. We also learned that another service they offer is leaf removal. Because of their great work with the mulching we will use them for this work in the fall.
Description of Work: Installed mulch in flower/plant beds in both front and backyards.

George is, without question, the most knowledgeable individual I have ever met, relative to lawn care, landscaping, etc. Especially when it comes to the specialty grass like we have (Bermuda). He came out to give an estimate, came back to do some measurements, scheduled the work, and was there when he said he would be. Terrific crew. Professional, through, polite, great on clean up.. it just goes on and on... Terrific follow-up to insure we were satisfied with the job. Couldn't rate any company higher. Will recommend every chance I get. John Devore Sevierville, T
Description of Work: Our lawn was trashed by weeds, improper gardening (by the guy we hired last year), and the fact that we have Bermuda grass, rather than the Fisque many in this area have. We want the best looking lawn in the neighborhood, and Bermuda will do that when it is properly cared for, watered, fertilized, etc... George laid out an entire service program for our lawn, including weed eradication, grass growth, mulch, removing bushes, planting trees, flowers, etc. He did a complete landscape design, and started the implementation of same. We are actually outside his service area, but he took care of us anyway. Because of the distance between the area he services on a regular basis, and our home, he set us up with an associate who does service this area, to handle the weekly mowing and other functions which need to be addressed. George is friends of this individual and is directing his work, even though he's not being paid to do so. Great extra efforts on Georges part to insure we get what we're looking for.

I have to say I hit the jackpot when I found Bright Side on Angie's list. George has been wonderful to deal with. He has been so helpful to us especially do to the fact that we are out of town owners. Our tenant has nothing but great things to say about him and his crew. I would HIGHLY recommend Bright Side.

We were looking for a yard service to clean our yard (1/3 acre) of leaves, brushes and fallen branches. We called Lawn Garden services on a Friday afternoon and left a voice mail. They contacted us back on Monday and apologized for the late response. In order to get a quote we arranged for them to take a look at the yard the next day. They estimated cost was 5 times more expensive than quotes we got from other yard services companies, so we did not hire them.
Description of Work: After providing a quote which was substantially higher than offers from other companies we approached we did not hire them.

Response from Bright Side
[member name removed], I am sorry you were not pleased with our quote to clear the brush, leaves, and trimmings from your back acreage. Based on the instructions given to me, I anticipated a full day for a crew to haul debris from the back to the front and 1-2 truck loads to the recycler. Unless I misunderstood the scope of the work as described by your wife, I stand by our quote and wish you well with the contractor you select. Thank you, George

Angie's list was created to recognize exceptional quality and workmanship. Bright Side Professional Landscape Management truly exceeded all of our expectations. George worked with us to design a beautiful, affordable property that rivals the best in our neighborhood. He spent several hours getting to know us and our desires and developed a plan to bring our yard alive. His extensive knowledge of horticulture and local growing techniques along with a strong work ethic, that rings through his entire team, created our dream on time and at the quoted cost. If you want landscaping done right with no shortcuts, no regrets at a reasonable price, this is the place to call.
Description of Work: Cleared, leveled, conditioned, and seeded approximately one half acre of rolling hill lawn. Created a large flower bed and dry riverbed. planted 15 shrubs and 5 large trees. Mulched all existing beds, new beds, new and existing tree rings. cleared leaves on almost an acre of property.

Very good job overall? Very professional business.
Description of Work: Trimmed shrubs and removed two dead plants and plants new ones. Removed brush and cut down and remove a small ornamental tree. Very good work and clean up. Only issue was delay from first contact then estimate and ultimate work being performed but obviously this was due to busy fall season.

We recently had a storm shelter installed and the day after had torrential rains. A good portion of the dirt that they backfilled around the shelter went down hill. We called George and he came out and gave us an idea of what could be done to rectify the problem and keep it from happening again. The crew redistributed the soil that had been moved by the rain and planted seed along with severl dwarf hollies to hold the soil in place. The crew was very friendly and did everything agreed upon. We now have grass growing and have had rain several times. Everything is still holding i

George came to our house for consultation and to get details for preparation of an estimate of job. We were very impressed with his knowledge. We immediately made a decision to proceed. His business is popular and they are very busy, so we had to wait a while, which was not an issue for us, since we had been living with our problems for so long anyway. When his crew did get to our project, they completed the job in just a couple of days. They were very professional, responded quickly and calmly to any minor questions we had. The quality of the work is excellent; we could not be happier. This was the first time we had ever hired a landscaper. I cannot imagine it going any better than this. We plan to bring them back in the future for more things.
Description of Work: lawn treatment, rebuild of a retaining wall that was leaning, renovation of three different beds in front yard, that included design, removal of dead or unhealthy plants, installation of new plants including azaleas, hasta, a dogwood tree, etc. included stone border, removal of old plastic with gravel.

George made first contact was extremely responsive. Quote was provided within a couple of days. Had to wait for our existing service to get cancelled once that occurred, contacted George and got him started. They do a great job and are very punctual after each job, they leave a report in the mailbox as to what was completed...... Awesome customer service. Had other lawn services, Brightside is by far the best in the area.
