Superb there craftsmanship in the mason trade speaks values they are very special I am having them do a new project also.

Terrible experience with John at Greenskeeper. I called on a Monday to schedule an estimate to have quite a bit of work done, he said he was available that Wednesday "around Noon" to meet and would call me that morning to confirm. Noon on Wednesday comes around and I have not heard from him, I get a call saying something came up and he cannot make it. Not a huge deal, things happen. So we reschedule for that coming Saturday "around Noon". Noon on Saturday comes and goes and I have not heard from him. At 1PM he texts me saying he "had a couple breakdowns" and "today is not going to work". He asks me if I am available during the week any time, I state I can meet on Monday or Tuesday morning. I do not hear back from him at all. At 5PM on Monday I text him asking if he has a day/time to meet, he responds "probably Thursday or Friday!". On Wednesday he texts me saying he has to head to my town and if I am available to meet in an hour. I agree to meet and LEAVE WORK to meet him at my house; one hour passes and I am waiting for him and he texts me saying "my day changed up" and he cannot meet. Needless to say I have no interest in working with this guy, he is completely unprofessional and clearly has no idea what he is doing. If he is this incompetent just scheduling an estimate I can only imagine how incompetent he is actually doing the work. I wouldn't trust this guy cutting my lawn.

Extremely well. The workers were friendly, showed up promptly, and finished on time. We are very pleased by the result.

Quick update - after grading and hydroseeding my lawn in June, a large amount of the grass didn't take, and crabgrass flourished. John and crew came back last week and removed all the crabgrass and reseeded everything... for free! Everything is sprouting nicely now, and I am very happy

John and his crew were amazing. We bought a family-owned duplex that needed a complete gut and redo including hardscape and landscape. We wanted the current stairs covered with blue stone and fieldstone and new plants, seeding, new patio and stepping stones. His team worked beautifully at transforming what was once old and outdated to something new, fresh and modern. We cannot be more pleased by the results. The entire experience working with John was wonderful. He is extremely professional, responsive and communicative and the work was fairly priced in my mind. I would totally recommend him to anyone looking for an update both in landscaping and hardscaping and I would hire him again in a heart-beat! Thanks so much John and Greenskeepers for helping us transform our family duplex into an amazing beautiful home!

Awesome! They just really did a good job, and did what they said they'd do.

Another great experience with John & sons as we continued Phase 2 of our landscaping plan. As before, John's communication is fantastic, and he is always reachable via text. The entire crew is courteous, professional, and a pleasure to have on the property. The finished product is amazing, and I have received dozens of compliments. It is a dramatic transformation! I am looking forward to having John & Company back later this year for more landscaping, and next year to lay a large paver patio. I highly recommend John and Greenskeeper!

In a word - perfect! This is the biggest project I have had done on my house, and it is hands-down the best contractor experience I have ever had. To start, communication was fantastic. John, the owner, is prompt in replying to calls, emails, and texts. He proactively kept me in the loop with everything that was going on. It took a few months to get a permit from the town, and he gave me status updates weekly up until they were ready to start. At that point the crew, including John's son Jake, were on-site daily for about 4 weeks. I live by the bay, so they took extra steps to prevent mud runoff from the excavation by containing their work with hay barriers and silt fences. It was fun watching the demo, then the wall go up bit-by-bit each day. On inspection day, the town inspector commented that their work was a perfect example and he will document my specific wall as an example of "how to do it right". Talk about peace of mind! Throughout the project, John was supportive of last minute choices of things like paver style/placement, and it was no problem to take apart and remove a stair base that I decided I wanted in a different spot. I need to sum up by saying working with Greenskeeper was an absolute pleasure. I was very well taken care of, got exactly what I wanted, and the results are stunning! They will be back in the spring to seed grass where they worked, and I have already worked with John to plan a large backyard project and side yard project for next year.

Gave a quote and strung it out for weeks never adhering to the start dates proposed - kept making excuses and postponing the work - don't waste your time.

Very well! John and his crew were nice, on time, and responsive to my concerns.

Couldn’t be happier with John and Greenskeeper. They worked hard, wee prompt, and did what they said they were going to do. And they did it beautifully. Pleasure to work with them.

My first review, submitted on 02/06/2015, was based on the initial portion of our landscaping project done by the Greenskeeper in the late fall of 2014. The plan was to continue the project in the spring of 2015. I gave him a glowing review for the work he did in the fall but never followed up with an update on how the entire project turned out, something I have regretted ever since. It’s now three years later and I am still fixing things and re-planting and being annoyed. Endless pieces of the project went wrong with the rest of what we contracted John to do and it all turned out to be a huge and expensive disappointment! The workmanship was shoddy, there was no design plan from John whatsoever, no instructions from him were given to his crew that he left alone to their devices all day, subpar plants and shrubs were used - most of which did not survive, there was no rhyme or reason to his choices of plantings, no design was presented for around the pond, and it was a general slipshod and hurried performance to say the least. In the end, after so many things had to be fixed or redone, we just got too aggravated with him and his attempts at repairs that we asked him to leave. He had such glowing reviews on Angie's List when we hired him, that I now have to believe were written by relatives. John is a pleasant and likeable person and it’s very easy to trust him to do the right thing. It turns out that has not been our experience. Of all the professionals we have hired over the years to do various projects in or outside of our house, this has been the only one that left us feeling totally 'ripped off.'

Upon moving into our new home, we came to the realization that there were many issues with our yard. After consulting Angie's List, we found Greenskeeper. From the onset, we were impressed with John's knowledge, responsiveness, and professionalism. He, along with a family member of ours who is a landscape architect, collaborated throughout the project. This was a pretty big project, and we were getting started late in the season. John came by to assess the project and provided us with a quote very quickly. He, along with his son, Jake, and his team started working within a week. Throughout the project, John kept open and frequent communication to gain our input and to be sure that we were happy with the progress. As part of the plan, John worked together with the company that put in our sprinkler system. This coordination ensured that the project moved forward smoothly. Over the course of the project, as issues arose (caused by weather, etc.), John resolved each of them quickly without hesitation. We looked forward to coming home from work each day to see the progress unfolding. John, Jake, and the rest of the team engaged with us readily and were excited to talk about and show us what they had completed that day. Landscaping can be messy work, but John's team was methodical each day in cleaning up our property. It is clear that all of the staff at Greenskeeper take pride in their work and aim to deliver high quality service. John is very connected within the community and was able to provide us with referrals for other services. He also has a great eye and design aesthetic. His input and suggestions elevated our initial expectations for the project. Many of our neighbors stopped by throughout the project to compliment the work and John's team. A couple of them even hired Greenskeeper for projects of their own. Our experience with Greenskeeper was nothing short of amazing. We look forward to continuing our relationship with John and his team as we already have plans for the spring.

John and his crew installed driveway pavers and steps. They did an excellent job. They were punctual, professional and the work turned out great. We will call them again for future projects.

Never got to contract

Fantastic! John and his crew were great with followup, attention to detail, cleanup & communication! He clearly has a lot of expertise, put together a great plan to address a big drainage issue and improve the landscaping overall. Everything looks beautiful and we could not have been happier working with him! Highly recommend!

obviously not well.

I'll never understand how contractors are so willing to leave money on the table. And, being a provider listed on Angie's list, how they'd even miss this first, most basic of all steps: Follow up with the potential client. It's disappointing and frustrating.

I contacted John in the late Spring about doing this work and he suggested that, if it worked for us, to wait until September or October - that the grass would take better and there would be fewer weeds. His team did a great job and a month later the grass has taken quite nicely. We're very pleased and would recommend Greenskeeper without a second thought.

Excellent. John is very responsive and is very good at balancing the customers requests with his expertise in the field. We had a basic idea of what we were looking for, but John had the "vision" to help us redesign our yard. It's now looking great and the hydro seed has given way to new grass. Some of our space is still a "canvas" that might accommodate future work, but for now we have more usable space and a yard that is eye-pleasing instead of an eye-sore!
