Green Grass

Critical: Professionalism Saw them on my door camera leaf blowing the same spot section on the drvingway for 30 minutes trying to look busy. Saying you dont have me as a client doesn't help score Service: Grading & resloping

I have worked with Green Grass for 3 projects so far and another coming up. Specifically I have worked with Todd for all of the designs. He has been responsive, creative and has worked with me with options to stay in budget. The crew has been exceptional each time also. Everyone has been pleasant, attentive to details and have gotten the job done fast!

We completely regraded our front yard, which is on a hill. It was sloped wrong and they made sure the pitch was away from the house and added in new drainage. No more water in our basement! We did all new landscaping in the front and it's absolutely beautiful. Everything has held up over the last two winters and has bloomed beautifully! We also did a patio and walkway in our backyard. Again we had some leveling issues which the guys perfected. The stone work is beautiful and beyond what we expected. I cannot recommend Green Grass enough.

We contracted Green Grass for a professional landscaping design to serve as a blueprint going forward. We wanted to create a backyard garden scape and thought we could count on Green Grass. Jeff came out to look at the property. Didn't take any notes or photos, which didn't bother us at the time as we had not received a proposal yet, so we figured it was a just the initial meeting.

He sent the proposal - $780 for plan for which he required a 50% downpayment. We paid, and he told us they were extremely busy but should have something for us in 3-4 weeks. Three weeks later, after not having heard from ANYONE, I reached out and was told someone would be on site the next day for photos and measurements. Nobody reached out to us to ask our opinions on plants, run any ideas by us, or gain additional insight into what we were looking for.

There were no additional face to face meetings or even a phone call. A week later, four weeks to the day that we went under contract, we were e-mailed a plan that was commensurate with something that we could have had done at Home Depot. There was nothing imaginative about it. The plan was comprised almost entirely of arborvitae, hostas, ground cover and hydrangeas.

The paver patio and walkway had no flow, and was all done at straight edges and 90 degree corners - which is very easy and efficient for them to lay (while allowing them to charge the same cost per square foot) but devoid of any creativity or flair. EXTREMELY disappointed we lost four weeks for something that looked like they maybe spent an hour on.

When I expressed my disappointment to Jeff, he simply said he would waive the second half of the fee, basically confirming he had no interest in the project or any commitment to delivering a quality final product. So I am out $390 and four weeks, but can only imagine how bad it would have been had we actually gone to contract on a project. Take a pass on Green Grass.

Green Grass did an excellent job in designing and installing our new patio. They were responsive to our needs and professional throughout the process. Our rep Todd Dickey did a bang up job designing our landscaping, bringing it on budget and with high quality.

Green Grass transformed our yard space from a mud pile that was sliding into our neighbors yard, to a beautiful and functional space. We were impressed by the professionalism of the landscape architect Jeff, the project manager Patrick and their crews. The bid we received was competitive with the other vendors that we spoke with. This company stood out with their thoroughness on the plans and detailed proposal as well as their knowledge of village code.

Multiple sections were completed (100 ft brick retaining wall, pavers patio and fire pit area, and fencing). They were patient with our many questions, as well as flexible when we changed scope several times. We highly recommend Green Grass and look forward to working with them in the future.

Every detail considered, fair and honest pricing, professional crews, if you are looking for quality work done completely right, this is your choice. Their crew just planted 2 2000 lb. pine trees in the backyard yesterday. Left the yard spotless and the trees are amazing. Can't praise them enough.

We had Green Grass do major work in our back yard. It was originally a giant concrete disaster. They were able to remove all of the concrete and install sod, plants/landscaping and a patio/pavers in just three days of work. The men doing the work were fantastic. They paid attention to every detail and left my property so clean even with all of the concrete demolition.

Our designer, Todd, was wonderful too. He responded quickly to emails and answered questions thoroughly. Todd worked with us to create a beautiful and practical design that fit our property and lifestyle. He even ordered a new plant when one didn't handle the July heat despite watering. We are so glad we invested in our property with Green Grass and highly recommend their landscaping services!

Came to Green Grass to help solve both functional and aesthetic problems. Functionally, our yard takes on a lot of water and we needed a solution to help mitigate this. Aesthetically, we wanted to wipe out what was there and start fresh with a new design. Jeff and his team delivered on all fronts. We worked very collaboratively on the design and the GG team delivered on everything as promised. Functionally, they have done a great job providing solutions to keep our yard from becoming a swamp every time it rains.

Most important to me, when there were changes or tweaks to make, even after the installation, they never left and saw it through to make sure we were happy with the final product. They've been a true partner, invested in finding solutions and not just a landscape vendor that does the job and leaves. I'll be partnering with them for all my future needs.

If you're looking for a senior landscape architect to create a backyard sanctuary of your dreams or for water drainage solutions, look no further than Jeff Johnson at Green Grass. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, easy to work with and invested substantial amount of time creating a beautiful backyard patio combined with shrubs and trees based on our feedback as well as the most cost effective water drainage solutions to properly manage the abundance of water on our property.

He worked with us through various revisions, recommending colorful plant combinations and was aware of various city codes and permit process so the job was done right. He made sure the project was finished with our complete satisfaction in mind from start to finish. Jeff Johnson has earned our trust as our "go-to" for all our landscaping needs and we would highly encourage anyone to put him in your consideration set for any landscaping project you might have. You won't be disappointed.
