The crew showed up early and did a great job. Worked with my wife on what she wanted for the paths and garden. All work areas were cleaned up, and no trash was left behind. Will use Green Lawns again.

This guy, while friendly, is not someone you want to work with - trust me.  He had originally installed our sprinkler system.  That was a nightmare.  He walked off the job because he thought we had turned off the electricity and ranted and raved on the phone to us.  The electrician had wired it wrong.  Then, he didn't show because one of his employees died - which was understandable - but then it seemed to put us behind for every other reason.  He didn't install the heads in the most optimum setting - several needed to be moved.  And then we didn't learn and hired the guy to install mulch - it was a sale going on Angie's List and we bought it before realizing it was that firm.  The guy did not bring the right amount of mulch.  He did half of the mulch beds and said he would come back and finish.  He didn't.  So, then we "forgave" him so he could move a head that was in the wrong location (on our neighbor's property) to compensate us for not installing the right amount of mulch?!  Unbelievable.

The original timetable was postponed because of rain, but after agreeing on a later date, the materials and pavers were delivered the preceding day. The day of installation, three workers arrived on-time and commenced work. They worked steadily through the day - and finished about 4:30, then took another 0.5 - 1.0 hour to clean-up. Excellent job!

I built a house 4 years ago.  The builder planted grass but the next year my lawn was bare.  I tried to bring it back to life on my own with out success.  This year I contacted Bill at Green Lawns to help with getting my lawn back in shape.  He came out assessed the lawn and presented me with a very clear plan with pricing.  He was great to work with and has returned my calls on time even after I had pr-paid for the service.  A few of my neighbors have used his services and their lawns look great. He will be re-seeding my lawn this fall.  I will give you an update come fall.

I think these treatment is about $120. He is usually very good. He is a graduate of Wexford University, the College of Agriculture. You can call and talk to him or email him if you have any questions. I emailed him just recently because our apples trees were about to go into bloom. Which kind of spray we wanted to use and when our blossom drops which goes where something about that. He doesn't mind. They are prompt. While we were away if it's grass growing season we will have him mow also. I have looked into the other prices. He doesn't run any particular more than somebody else. I think that's fair to say.

Owner Bill Sapp is professional and knowledgeable. All work was performed on time as promised.  Bill has been prompt in responding to all my questions and concerns. When I discovered that the new pipe for the sprinkler system was leaking at the connection in the crawl space, he was prompt in responding but his crew was unable to correct the leak, requiring me to bring in a plumber at an additional $180 cost. It's too soon to say how effective the weed killing and reseeding was, but I am confident that Bill will respond to address any issues and capably bring about a satisfactory result.
I have the impression that Bill may have reached outside his service territory to undertake the job at my property beyond what he would normally be comfortable with (the Angie's List description was apparently overbroad), but we are both adjusting to make it work (my contribution is a $50 travel fee for scheduled service visits).

Looking for lawn treatments, I talked with a number of providers.  Bill Sapp was very straightforward and professional.  I was impressed with his reviews on Angie's List and the fact that he was a graduate of Rutgers University's Cook College, majoring in turf, landscaping, etc.  Knowing another graduate of Cook College and being impressed with her abilities, I knew I could expect great results from Bill.  We have not been disappointed and will continue to use Bill.  We are planning lighting and more landscaping this spring.  He is easy to work with and offers senior citizens' discounts.

We have had many positive comments from neighbors and visitors about the landscaping and tree trimming.
