It took them a little while to get back to me. Each time they come out is about $47. I have a recurring contract with them.
Description of Work: The only lawn service I have used is The Green. They come and spray the lawn, like, three or four times a year.

We had used them in the past to plan and landscape a medium sized garden in our yard. We really were pleased with the work. We also liked the idea that they emphasize protecting the environment. For this job the original estimate was more than we were thinking of spending...and they very easily and willingly adjusted the scope of the work and the estimate. We appreciated that!.
Description of Work: Planned and landscaped a hilly portion of our yard that we did not want to mow any more.

It is our pleasure to share our experience with the Green Team. Our vision of perennial beds and a prairie has come to life thanks to the Green Team. From spring through late fall, we enjoy a succession of flowers and grasses that attract hummingbirds, butterflies, bees and songbirds. Darrell Smith, Horticultural Services Manager, helped us plan the prairie and recommended native plants that have thrived. The maintenance crew, led by Kathryn, is knowledgeable and responsive. Last year we added a birch ?grove? which enhanced habitat for birds, provided shade and increased the privacy in our backyard. We recently added a gravel path through the prairie that makes it wheelchair accessible. It is truly an oasis. Kudos Green team! Mary and Jim LaCharite Fox Point

Excellent. Darryl Smith was professional,kind, and extremely knowledgeable and provided a detailed estimate outlining what needed to be done first. The estimate was priced in line with other estimates. However, the service far exceeds service that we had previously received from other companies. The Green Team was attentive, reliable and timely. The initial work was completed on time and the on going maintenance has been fantastic. We highly recommend the Green Team. They are a great find. Our landscaping has never looked better.
Description of Work: Landscaping maintenance of a large yard with multiple beds, a bluff that is landscaped, and a water stream that leads to a pond. They weeded, mulched, trimmed and dead headed plantings, and edged beds. We have on going maintenance of the landscaping.

No "keep off the grass" signs here! Green Team lawn treatments are family friendly and good to the earth too. The Green Team of WI is a great, environmentally friendly company. Seasonal visits can be scheduled to fertilize lawn and gardens to maximize root growth and ultimate health of turf. The Green Team has been prompt with scheduled treatments and each treatment is accompanied by a detailed explanation of what has been done and if any special follow up is required. The treatments are safe for children and pets and the lawn can be used immediately after treatment, unlike hazardous conditions that are present after conventional "weed and feed" pesticide-heavy treatments. The Green Team of WI is a great choice for people who want to ensure the health of their family and their home environment. Our grass stays green during summer droughts long after our neighbor's chemically dependent lawn is fried.
Description of Work: Compost application for summer lawn stress relief as part of an annual lawn maintenance package which includes aeration and fertilization.

Description of Work: We use Green Team for our annual maintenance and clear outs as well as one-off projects. They are great - really nice to work with - and they really know their stuff about gardens and plants (which I appreciate because I most certainly do not). They are also helping to redo our front landscape and I appreciate the help that Darrell has given sending emails, suggestions and pictures. They are more expensive than other services, but I think their expertise and professionalism is worth the cost.

Earthcare has been our lawn service for two years now. This year we had them do additional landscaping, fall cleanup and brush removal. Very professional, helpful employees, good communications, fair pricing. Environmentally friendly solutions.

Brad and Michael were fantastic to work with and we love the finished product. We had moved into a new home last summer and it took us almost a year to find a landscaping company we were happy with. And, we are glad we waited...the curb appeal of our house is dramatically improved. Will continue to use the Green Team to do some eco-friendly weed control next spring.
Description of Work: We had four major beds designed, prepared and planted. Basically, we had each side of our house redone with a mixture of new trees, shrubs and perennials.

I am in love with EarthCare! They were one of the very few companies that I've encounted that took my NO pesticide and NO herbicide request seriously. Most companies would say - well, to get a green lawn you really don't have a choice or there's this product that is kind of organic/green. EarthCare creates all natural compost teas. They dig into the soil to determine the composition of it and how to correct it from - literally - the ground up. Then, they checked our mower and advised us when and how often to mow to maximize root development of grass. Our backyard looks fantastic. Darrell was upfront with me the entire time. He was super about letting me know any of his concerns. When something went a little wrong - I didn't have to find out on my own. He'd already notified me of the problem and three solutions he was looking into that would cost me nothing to fix. I cannot wait to work with Darrell and his team again. I wish all companies I worked with were this honest, forthright, professional, prompt and courteous.
Description of Work: Darrell and his team removed all overgrown and weed/invasive species infested "lawn" and "landscaping" from our backyard. Then, they replaced it with new grass turf and new flower beds/borders.
