Forever Green

Salesman named Bill was totally disappointing. Work was guaranteed to be done in August 2020, and after numerous emails unanswered by Bill and nonreturned phone calls worked finally showed up in November to do sod and mulch. Bill then said I was 'on the list' for English Ivy install spring of 2021 as it was too late in the season to plant the ivy in November. August 2021 and nothing. I give up.

They were familiar with landscaping and they did the landscaping so I feel more confident using them.

Forever Green did a professional job. They provided architectural plans with the overall layout of the wall and landscaping. They selected landscaping that met our requirements and assisted us in selecting a retaining wall brick that we liked. They completed the project in about a week. After the work, they reseeded and covered the grass that was driven over or covered during the construction. This last bit was an unexpected plus as I did not ask for it and they did not specify it in their quote The project manager emailed me daily during the project to keep me up to date and solicit my input during construction.
I called three contractors for proposals and Forever Green was the only one who came out to my place to provide an estimate and plan. Two others I called (one recommended by two professional landscapers) never showed up to give me a quote. I made these contacts in June when everyone was busy. As such, we had t wait 8 weeks for Forever Green to get us into their schedule.
I gave Forever Green a and quot;Band quot; on price because they did go over their original budget by $1,400. They were professional in their request and we did negotiate the overage. I suppose I did not have to pay anything over the original proposal . I did end up agreeing to pay for the extra materials but not the labor, which I thought was a fair compromise since they did the work so well. As I had no other quotes, I cannot compare this cost to any other bids.
In the end, my wife and I love the retaining wall and landscaping. We enjoy the additional space it gives us. The brick we chose is beautiful, especially with the landscape lighting we have since added. I recommend Forever Green and would hire them again.

It was great-- see above.

They are very good and quick. They have a tremendous selection. I am happy with them. They are just good with anything, like flowers, plants, bedding plants, trees, shrubs, etc., so they do a lot of stuff and landscaping too. Their price is a little on the high side, but not that bad.

Dependable, professional.

John came out to take measurements and give an estimate. Of the three companies I received estimates from, John was the only one who followed up. He also came back to present the estimate, and explain the work that would happen.
A few weeks later, the crew showed up and started working. It about 4 1/2 days to do the work. The wall looks great.
I just have two issues - 1) John was supposed to email me a couple of items (copies of the estimate, etc) and he never did, and 2) I would have liked a reminder phone call a day or two before the crew showed up, so I wouldn't have been surprised when they got there.

They came early and worked steadily, digging a 60 trench by hand for the drainage tile. They did the work carefully, making sure they didn't cut electrical or cable wires. They had the materials they needed with them. They didn't mind my questions and allowed me to watch their work. I asked them to place the dirt alongside the house, but it was already loaded on the truck. Since that wasn't on their work order, they allowed me to unload the excess dirt. Their attitude was helpful, courteous, and flexible. They took care of details and finished the work well.

They were very good. We would use them again.
