It was a great experience! I initially contacted George to do fertilization and weed control, they didn't do only those services, but his recommendations and time he took to talk; sold me to use his company for the mulching service. Scheduled it, they showed up while we were at work and did an awesome job! Walkways were clear and not dirty, very impressed!! George and his team did a great job and I recommend his services!
Description of Work: George and his team put down fresh mulch in both the front and backyard of our home.

I use Bright Side during the summer, but I needed some maintenance done on my existing shrubs. I spoke with the owner and asked him for help and he said he would be glad to work with me. I have always been very satisfied with the work performed by the crews that do my weekly summer lawn work. I was not disappointed with the work done on my shrubs. As always when I arrived home after the crew's visit, I was very pleased with the work and the clean-up. The shrubs were trimmed and no remnants of the cuttings were laying in the yard! I am so excited to have a lawn person that realizes that lawn care goes on all year - not just during the summer months. If you need help with any yard work - once a week or all year long - I would recommend you look to the BRIGHT SIDE!

The work was done in a timely manner. When a strong storm blew a replanted juniper over, the company came out immediately and replanted and added support so it would not fall again. I am anxious for warmer weather to arrive so see the new seeding come up.
Description of Work: When we had some foundation work done on our house, they put the dirt back in the hole and spread the rest over an adjacent area of our previously grassed lawn. Since it was winter, I didn't expect that any landscaping work could be done. I contacted Bright Side Landscaping to find out our options. George Wehrmaker, the owner, came out and discussed what could be done and gave me a price. It was reasonable and we scheduled the job. After waiting a couple weeks for the rain to let up, the work was done. They graded the area, replanted some shrubs that have been removed, seeded the area, strawed it, and put mulch in the landscape area adjacent to the area. It looks better than before and I am glad we chose Bright Side to do the work.

It didn't go.
Description of Work: I emailed this company through Angie's List and I called their listed number (no answer). I never heard back from them at all. This company is just down the road from me. It seems that lawn care companies in this area are so busy that they don't need any additional business.

They do a great job. They are very conscientious. They keep our weeding and our bushes down. They do things before I even ask them. They take care of it and it's been excellent.
Description of Work: I use the service of Bright Side Professional Landscape Management to do our mowing and weeding every week. They do mulching, weeding, keep the bushes trimmed and they check our irrigation system.

I called Bright Side. The rep measured my lawn and the owner called me back with a price. I asked for a lawn service. His crew mows at least once a week, edges the drive, and always cleans up when finished. I am still using them, so my approximate cost rises each month, but it is well worth it.

I have had them back since to give me a quote on new work. His work is very meticulous. He is not the cheapest but he is very dependable. His crew is very good and they clean up everything and follow through. He is booked a lot and it is hard to get things done quickly. But depending on what it is, he is worth the wait. He is honest and dependable. He is forth right about his up charges. There are really no surprises with him.
Description of Work: They did hardscape and a landscape re-design for our yard, including design, installation and hardscape.

I'm not happy.George promised & documented one year warranty. But, my lawn looks pathetic. He asks me to use another friend of his to complete treatment.
Description of Work: Based on a good report from Angie's list, I tried Brightside. While the initial response was good, follow up was bad. So I had to use other contractors in piece meal. George is a nice guy. He is well educated. But, I'd not use him for garden-related items including lawn. His quote for landscaping (different types of plants) was high. Maybe, he is over-booked. One day, he brought his son to complete the work. Well, I wish him good luck.

Response from Bright Side
In regards to member's report I'd like to update with our response and corrective action. The lawn renovation we did for member was correctly and thouroughly done. I explained to member, at the time he agreed to let us do the work, that he was too far from our maintenance region for regular weekly service crews to visit. I did mention the name of a gentleman I new in his area that provided maintenance services. He was very kind and seemed happy with our work. My son was working with us as a summer intern and happened to join me for final inspection and to touch up a couple of items requested by member. We even stacked some stone for him creating a short wall along the side yard at no additional cost. When member called to complain in August, I personally visited the property and observed a very dry, disease infested lawn that was overdue for a mowing. I told member at the time that the lawn was not being properly maintained and that a fungicide application would help, but the lawn was too dry for any weed treatments at that time. I also told him that we were experiencing one of the hottest, driest summers on record and that a new Fescue lawn has to be watered regularly in such conditions. I also promised to come back when things cooled off to help restore the lawn and give him a written maintenance program. In October, I sent a crew to member's to heavily aerate, seed, and fertilize the lawn at no charge and also provided a written schedule for proper maintenance of the lawn to member. He agreed that this was more than fair and that he understood the importance of proper maintenance after our work was complete. I never like it when someone feels that they have not received a quality service from our company. In this case, I feel like we've gone the extra mile to remedy member's concerns. I hope he agrees.

For several years we had let the wooded section of the backyard get away from us. Several rock gardens, shrubs, and ornamental trees were barely visible anymore. We called Bright Side based on another member's description of work and comments. When George came to give us an estimate, he said they would have that part of the yard looking like a park when they were finished... and that's exactly what they did. Three very nice guys, in uniforms, worked three days just like George said they would, and we are so pleased to have our original yard back. Now we can reclaim the rock gardens and do other things to enhance the beauty and serenity of our "park". I would definitely recommend George and his crew.
Description of Work: Cleaned out over growth of underbrush and vines; removed some smaller dead trees, many dead branches, and layers of old leaves in a large wooded portion of the backyard.

Because of all the rain this summer, my yard was so overgrown you couldn't see the lake anymore. I basically asked them to do a crewcut on the landscaping, cut everything way back. They did a fabulous job. Showed up on time and completed the job on time. They were polite and hauled off all the debris. It was more than I wanted to spend, but I don't regret it. My yard will be much easier to maintain now.
Description of Work: Cut back a very overgrown yard, take down dead trees, prune shrubs, remove dead plants and groom the yard that is close to 1 acre on a steep hill overlooking the lake.

They arrived when they said they would. They had enough people to do the job efficiently. They were very careful with my property and did everything they were supposed to do. They did an excellent job and even hauled off some yard waste that was not part of the original job description. They cleaned up after themselves well. No money was paid until the job was finished. The owner of the company called to see if the job was done satisfactorily, then an invoice arrived a few days later.
Description of Work: They put down pine straw, trimmed bushes, and installed underground pipe to stop two drainage problems.

When the guys come out they are wearing uniforms and they have trucks with their name on it and they do a very professional job. They are outstanding. They always get here when they say they will and the yard never looked better well. It is the closest thing to living on a golf course that I have ever seen. The neighbors like my yard so well that they have them do landscaping for them to. George is the owner and he is a great guy.
Description of Work: The landscapers mowed my lawn, trimmed the bushes, mulched the beds, fertilized the yard and treated it for fungus. They come out every week in the summer and once a month in the winter. I pay them annually.
