Great Outdoors

We're super happy with Great Outdoors. They're great people and they do great work. Highly recommend. Service: Landscaping maintenance

We just recently had an incredible amount of snow and Great Outdoors did a GREAT job of keeping our driveway clean! The "icing on the cake" had to be the cheerful demeanor that Amber Garrison contributed. Her personal touch to accommodate nuances that are unique to our driveway really made the difference. Great people are what make the Great Outdoors different.

Avery, Cesar and their team did an excellent job rebuilding and extending the Michigan rock retention walls adjacent to the driveway. They worked skillfully and diligently to get all the details right to meet and exceed our expectations, both in hardscape appearance and function, giving us the confidence that the walls will stand for many years to come. Much appreciated!

Jake Cullen and his team came out to do a last minute late season project and as usual did a wonderful job! We have worked with Great Outdoors on landscaping projects since we moved into our home 20+ years ago and I highly recommend them.

I did not have a good experience with this company. Not great customer service and much more focused on their bottom line.

Great Outdoors has kept our lawn and landscape looking great. They have a friendly staff that gets the job done. I am very happy.

We had a great experience installing a stone walkway and stairs! When Mike came out to quote the job, he took time to listen to what we wanted for the space, and offer us suggestions that incorporated what we wanted. When Jake and his crew came out to build it, they were professional and efficient! They kept us informed every step of the way and even transplanted some ground cover plants we had planned to move after the walkway was completed. It looks even better than we had imagined it could! Thank you!

This is the first year we've had a lawn care service, but Dan at Great Outdoors has been prompt and thorough.

I have USed Great Outdoors for many (30+) years for lawn care, snow removal and landscaping neds. I hav found them to be consistently reliable and professional. Most recently I would like to acknowledge the professional and high quality of the work of Luke Giordano on our weekly lawn care and Amber Garrison in meeting our horticulture needs.

I recently had my first experience with this company; it was an exceptional one. Javier & crew did an outstanding job. I absolutely intend to use Great outdoors again and soon!

Great Outdoors can always be relied on to provide exceptional landscape services from start to finish. Mike gives thorough and detailed estimates, and the crew is highly professional, and detail oriented. The Crew Leader, Jake Cullen, was polite (as was the rest of the crew), explained the whole process as they went, and addressed any questions/concerns I had. I'm so happy with how my project turned out! Highly recommend Great Outdoors for your landscape projects.

Jake Cullen and his crew did a great job installing our stone steps and landscaping. It was a big project and they worked hard to complete it in just 2days.

We had an extensive project at a home we moved into last fall and Avery was professional and responsive throughout the entire process. Cesar Sanchez worked incredibly hard to finish the work without delay, even with days of unexpected rain! The finished landscape and flagstone patio are beautiful and have surpassed our expectations. We're now working with Avery to install an outdoor fireplace later this summer/fall and can't wait!

On behalf of Harbor Cove Apartments I would like to extend my gratitude for the years of service we have had the pleasure of! I highly recommend The Great Outdoors for all of your property needs. Their staff in particular Demetrio, Luke and Sergi are always here as expected and it is obvious that they take pride in their work by the looks of our grounds! They are always friendly and courteous to us and our residents. Thank you Great Outdoors!

We just started using Great Outdoors landscape and are very happy with the service. Great phone support and excellent quality of work at the house. Chris Kleindorfer

Great Outdoors installed a permeable paver patio for us, and they also shaped and mulched the border gardens along our fence line. We have worked with a lot of contractors the last few years, and this was one of the best experiences we've had - no micro-managing the install, and the final product is impeccable! They also did a great job with clean-up afterward. Jake was our crew leader, and he and his crew were very professional.

I had a couple questions while the work was in progress. Jake took time to walk me through everything. He was very detail-oriented, and it was clear he cared about the quality of the install as well as our satisfaction. Including a before picture and two afters. Can't believe this is the same yard, and I'm so excited to spend our summer out here!

Great Experience! Between weather, Covid, and staffing, it took some time to actually schedule the work. But once it did happen, it went smoothly and efficiently, with brilliant results. Mike did great working up front with us, and Jake did the work with speed, skill, and made it look beautiful. Kudos to all, especially to Jake - he loves his job, and it shows in his work. A pleasure to work them all.

Our lawn looks great! Great Outdoors does our regular mowing and trimming. The edging is neat and tidy and that detail makes the rest of the yard really look great. Yesterday's mowing coincided with the leaf pick up and I was so proud to see our yard looked so great! We've used this company forn3 years with no plans to stop now.

Good lawn care company with reasonable prices. Grass always looks great after being cut by Dan (crew 4) with minimal amounts of grass clippings left. Edging always looks nice.

We've been with Great Outdoors for a few years now and we couldn't be happier. Other companies we've been with haven't come close to the Great Outdoors level of professionalism. The office staff are great and Randy (Crew #5) cuts our lawn beautifully. Their attention to detail is top notch. Randy even fixed a hole in my fence the other day so my dog wouldn't escape. I guarantee you won't get that type of service from other companies.

Our family hired the Great Outdoors for a home landscaping project. We didn't know exactly what we wanted, nor how much it would cost. Our initial meetings with Mike K. were very informative and helpful, and we never got the sense that he was trying to sell us the most expensive job. He simply presented options, their upsides and downsides and costs, and it was all very helpful.

The crew (Tim, Eusebio, Francisco, Jaime, Mario, and others) were friendly, professional, and thorough. We love the finished result. Really can't recommend this outfit enough.

I have been using Great Outdoors since I moved to the Polo Fields subdivision in Ann Arbor in 2001 and am using them at our new home in Whitmore Lake. They quality of their work is fantastic! Their pricing is also fair because they get the job done quickly in a quality manner and the people who do the work are very nice to deal with and are very polite. Jaime H. Montalvo and Eusebio Agosto just finished a deck behind my pole barn using pavers I already had.

They did a fantastic quality job, are very nice to work with and have a great sense of humor. I highly recommend you use Great Outdoors for any work you need done. 9-11-18 Jaime H. Montalvo headed a team who did fantastic work for me today. Never would hire anyone else they do such a great job and are very nice people

We have been working with the Great Outdoors for 13 years now in various ways. From major projects (new deck, patio, landscaping) as well as routine maintenance and care of our property (mowing, weeding, snow removal). All teams that have come to our home do a fabulous job and we've been very pleased as well with the company's customer service. The fact we are a long time returning customer is the best testimony we can give to The Great Outdoors.

Great Outdoors has worked with us on our property for 10 years and has been terrific! After a call was placed to your office Clark came to the house and was immediately able to determine what was causing our concerns. Mike Seever did 2 applications of Tenacity to kill the bent grass and everything went smoothly. All correspondence I had with Great Outdoors was super.

"Wow! Your lawn looks great! How do you keep it looking so nice?" One of several comments from neighbors and complete strangers during the past dry spell. Not going to lie, LOTS of water, but the crew at Great Outdoors have really come through this year. Michael keeps the weeds in check and the lawn fertilized and Arturo and Cydnee keep it perfectly cut, trimmed and edged!

Thanks for a job well done under harsh conditions. Also, Christine in the office is always friendly. cheerful and helpful whenever I have a question or issue to resolve. Steve Raymond

We have been working with Great Outdoors for project based landscaping, on going maintenance and snow plowing. We live in a country club setting and they have far exceeded our expectations. They are responsive and the team members they have at our house are professional and great. It's not an easy business and the earlier negative reviews are from years ago.the Great Outdoors we've been working with since 2013 have continually improved and we appreciate them.

I don't know about their lawn maintenance services but we paid them a good chunk of change for a paver patio with fire pit, pergola, home entrance and adjoining sidewalk. They sent a professional to estimate, then sent out workers we could not communicate with due to language barrier, this after advising us an English speaking supervisor would be on site each day.

We had to watch the workers closely as far as measurements, and then call to have them correct items following incorrectly sized installments. After it was all done, we quickly noticed the eating area accumulating water, indicating poor drainage. They sent workers out to redo the area's elevation for better drainage. The following summer was extremely dry. this summer we noticed the occasional water, then moss in the problem area and telephoned in spring for fixing.

Too bad, so sad (not in their words) was their response. DON'T use them for these type jobs, and be warned on how they warrant their work. Everyone visiting that asks about the issue, we are certain to tell who the company is so they won't use them. It's really too bad and dumb of this company. We're in a newer neighborhood and many neighbors still need patio installments and from a distance they'd thought ours was lovely. When we can afford it, we'll be paying another company to correct it.
