Green Meadows Landscaping

I've worked with Jeff Thimesch and Green Meadows for many years and multiple houses, and have always been well pleased with the level of consideration, thought, planning and execution in regards to all my lawn and landscaping needs. Jeff and his company as a whole, are clean, professional, meticulous, proactive, and above all, caring and proud of the work they do, and as a result, I have had excellent results. As an example, at one point, I had trees (multiple) that simply would not live for any length of time in my yard. Jeff, not only did he stand true to his warranty and replace these trees (one particular tree several times), he consulted with me on potential issues, gathered soil samples, offered varietal suggestions that better fit the soil type, and ultimately earned a lifetime customer through his diligence, honesty, and quite frankly, hard work above and beyond expectations. Green Meadows offers a premium and complete outdoor service, and what I have received, over many years, is nothing less than exceptional results.

I have used this company for several years with mixed results. They have built 2 tree rings for my front yard, and they plant flower beds both spring and fall. The landscaping quality is OK, but their management and process appears quite sloppy. My last service with them was the fall planting. I left clear instructions that they need to contact me and get agreement on the date for the service so that I could supervise the flower placement. Instead, while I was out of town, they left a voicemail for planting the next day . So, ignoring my prior instructions to plant in specific areas in front and in back; they were all planted in the front. All the mulch went in the front too. Nothing in back because the gate was locked (because I wasn't home). It got worked out but I had to buy more plants for the back, and I refused to pay the extra labor for that. This company has frustrated me in the past with gruff field managers and inconsistent work. The manager I spoke with afterwards (possibly one of the owners) had terrible customer skills. She basically listened and said very little. The call ended with a missed opportunity to save a customer relationship. This disgusting experience was the last straw and I have moved on to another (and much more reliable) landscaping company. I should have followed my instincts and dumped these guys a couple years ago. If you are a business and landscaping is an afterthought then this company is probably OK. If you actually care how the planets are placed and good communication - well, maybe not.

This is a top notch company. I'm very happy from the start . The rep, Oscar, was very professional, taking time to walk me through all the options. The crew of 6-8 people were uniformed and professional. I paid a little extra for quality but that is what I got in return.

Green meadows landscaping crew is best i've seen. Complete all work as scheduled.

It went very well. The estimate was good, the work was done on time, and they were a professional crew.

They were awesome in understanding my ideas for the landscaping and it turned out better than I ever could have managed. The workers arrived on time each day and worked constantly except for their lunch break. The construction project manager was here every day checking and the crew leader would stop and answer any questions I had. It was a large project and only took 2 weeks to complete. I love this company.

Jeff, the owner, is very thorough and his crew works hard and diligently. They treat the project like it is their own. Clean up thoroughly at the end of each day.

I cannot more highly recommend Green Meadows! This is the second time that they have landscaped for us and they have only gotten better. They understood what we wanted and the design ideas were beautiful and practical. The workmanship was of the highest quality. Each day, they were prompt, cleaned up and considerate. Their communication and follow-up stands in a category alone. I am often frustrated and disaapointed in contractors I use simply because I cannot get in touch with them or rely on what they tell me. this is absolutely not the case with Green Meadows! At one point in the project, Jeff had to make a slight modification in the design and insisted on coming over in the evening to make sure that I understood and was agreeable. The change was almost negligible, but it was clearly an important customer service matter to Jeff. In my opinion, there are very few companies that offer this level of service and quality of product. In terms of landscaping, the final product is what does the speaking and in this case, 5 other neighbors immediately contacted Green Meadows to do their front yards too. We are extremely pleased.

Oscar and Drew came out and I told them what I was wanting and the design they came back with in a few days was just what I was wanting. I made some minor adjustments to the plant selection - but the work they performed was exceptional! Plants are thriving and the attention to detail was very pleasing. Hard to find landscape company that is truly a joy to work with! Oscar and Drew both bent over backward to make sure I was satisfied and the crew was very nice and they cleaned up and left no footprint of their being there behind! Would and will definitely use this company again!

They were very efficient and easy to deal with. I chose Green Meadows because of their high ratings.

I am amazed at the quality of workmanship, attention to detail, and professional horticultural knowledge exhibited by the Green Meadows crew! My yard had a thick bed of asian jasmine that Oscar and his crew dug out and replaced with sod. Careful attention was given to grading and prepping the soil before sod was laid down. My flowerbeds were not only overrun by the jasmine, but were starting to show spring growth of numerous perennials. The care the crew showed in removing the weedy jasmine while recognizing and protecting valuable plants was exemplary. I could not be more pleased, and highly recommend this company!!!!

Great group to work with. A bit on the expensive side, but they have responded to all our questions/concerns and we recognize that for higher quality work sometimes comes a higher price. The harsh winter caused some damage to the new plants installed in the Fall, but Green Meadows returned, assessed conditions and replaced the damage plants with no additional costs. Look forward to working with them for annual service and new plantings.

Jeff brought subcontractor to evaluate and gave estimate on the job. Then when the job was started & subcontractors were working. Jeff came by several times each day to be certain that the job was done correctly. Jeff is a perfectionist & that's what we like about him. They did a great job.

Professional manner, always punctual and great work quality.

Overall I found them professional and we were prepared to accept their bid but communication and follow up on commitments to put us on the schedule didn't happen so we went with another provider. *edit* - after posting my review I got a voicemail from the provider that the sales guy "Rudy" had been fired and apologizing for any scheduling issues.

Gardeners noticed a leak and alerted the office. Office contacted me and we set up a time to fix the leak. Luckily the leak was found and fixed. All is well again.

They are very good and professional. They are dependable and do a first class job. They are knowledgable of plants and lawn in terms of fertilizing, watering, and insect spraying.

From day 1 dealt with Rudy Ramirez. He was a pleasure to work with. He came out and worked with us as to what we were interested in, and what was possible. Arranged for a designer to meet with us for the front yard plants. He was clear in terms of setting expectations (sadly they were pretty booked up and we had to wait). However they met or exceeded all timing commitments. The quality of the work was superb. The crew was very professional. These folks left the work area clean at the end of each day. The crew seemed genuinely happy that we were happy with their work. After the job was complete, Rudy walked us through all the work that had been done, explained the care regime, and what to expect in terms of the plants and the sod as they settled in. The owner of the company even called us when the job was over; you could tell he was genuinely interested in our feedback and made sure we were happy with their service. BOTTOM LINE: I WILL USE THEM AGAIN AND I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE. If you think they are expensive, they might be - however the value for money was definitely there.

Not well. Contacted them via their web site last week and no one has emailed me back or called. So I am guessing SERVICE is not their main-stay (Today 06-09-13) As of two weeks ago Rudy did stop by to work up an estimate on the work I was interested in having done. He emailed me this estimate quicker than promised. But was way out of my price range even though he was VERY knowledgeable and had provided numerous pictures of his previous work. Must say his people are "artist" not just landscapers . . .

Jeff responded to my call for a quote right away. We scheduled an appointment so he could give me an estimate. The price was very reasonable. Not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either. He explained in detail what would be required and the scope of work to be done as well as how long it would take. The best part is, he handled the HOA approval for Castle Hills for me. Once the HOA approval was received the job was scheduled. The supervisor for the job contacted me the week before to confirm the Monday morning start including what time they would be there in the morning. He also indicated they would be coming by the house prior to Monday to review the job and make sure everything was in order. The crew of 3 showed up as scheduled along with the supervisor. He explained again what would be done and how long it would take. I had some questions for the crew as they were completing their work and they answered them well. The Supervisor again stopped by on the second morning to make sure everything was progressing well. They completed as scheduled and the Supervisor made sure everything was done as expected. Overall Green Meadows exceeded my expectations. They were all very professional, fair, and communicated every step of the process. I would definitely use them in the future.

Did not perform work i only got estimates

I called Green Meadows for a service they don't provide. Most companies get off the phone as soon as they realize there is nothing in it for them. Instead, Rudy stayed on the phone with me and made sure I was taken care of. He gave me some good advice and information on landscaping and a great referral to a company who could do the work I needed. His focus was to take care of my needs. Rudy is honest and has a great deal of integrity. He communicates clearly. He puts the customer's needs first. Rudy and Green Meadows made a big impression on me.

Update: Green Meadows got back to me on April 22nd, and apologized for the oversight. We set up an estimate for the 23rd, and it went fine. Rudy was very professional and knowledgeable. I believe the below scenario was a genuine oversight, and I would still consider them for my landscaping needs. I contacted Green Meadows on March 31st to arrange for an estimate. It was not a large job; rip out and re-sod my lawn, reconfigure/upgrade my sprinkler system, and designing a grass-less solution for a heavily shaded area in my front lawn. I was pleased to get a response from Kronda the following day. She indicated that Rudy wouldn't be able to contact me until about 3-4 business days because of seasonally high call volume. Unfortunately, it has been about 9 business days, and still no call. I used to landscape for a living, and I totally understand the busy season. However, it would have been nice to get some sort of correspondence that it might be a little longer before Rudy could get out to provide an estimate. Even a quick e-mail would have been fine.

The sales rep Rudy was exceptional from the estimate to managing the crew, the project went well. For the product, the price was very reasonable and an excellent addition to the house.

They are polite, they do what they say they are gonna do. He will tell me if I have problem. Very reliable, aims to please the customer
