First of all contacted the vendor by email and didn not get a response by end of day. Phoned vendor who took responsibility for not getting back to me right away saying he is very busy at the moment and could not talk. Said he would phone me that evening. Two days lated I phoned this vendor again who again stated how busy he was except this time made a date to meet me at my home. Vendor was prompt on meeting me at my home. After discussing what I was considering he excused himself for ten minutes and returned with a photo of my home with digital graphic images in place which gave a look as to what was being considered. Vendor said he would send me an email with a quote for the work. One week lated I received the quote with a message stating that he had quoted me earlier however for some odd reason the message was returned to him unsent to me. I chose not to use this vendor for my project.
Description of Work: Came, overlooked the property, listened to what I wanted and provided a quote.

Greenskeeper was on time and the gentleman was very personable. He suggested various landscaping improvements and after taking pictures of my property, showed what those improvements would look like on his computer. He later emailed what those improvements would cost. Maybe his estimate was reasonable but it seemed high to me. I'm really not current on the cost of landscaping but I was hoping to pay quite a bit less. I ended up doing some of those improvements on my own.
Description of Work: Greenskeeper came by and suggested various landscaping improvements. He had some good ideas.

We bought our home last August and it already had multiple mature planting areas throughout the property. We waited until this Spring to put the finishing touches on the landscaping and further improve the curb appeal with splashes of color... Of course, we also needed to remove and relocate several plants, pull all weeds and finish it off with a new layer of mulch. John came out and did a thorough walk-around inspection and followed up in a few days with a written proposal delivered via email. On the day the work was to be performed, John arrived promptly with his crew and went over the whole job with them (and us) in detail so we knew exactly what to expect. The team took most of the day to perform the work and when they were done cleaning up, the transformation was complete. We shopped this job to 2 other contractors but Greenskeeper was the only company to follow through with a proposal and an appointment that fit into our busy schedules. I'm confident that John stands behind his work and would wholeheartedly recommend his company.
Description of Work: Removed a considerable amount of brush and weeds from multiple planting beds, koi pond area and grape arbor... Planted 3 flats of impatiens and 2 knockout rose topiary plants... Removed old mulch and put down new mulch throughout the property...

John came out and took a picture of the existing garden in my front yard, and one week later he came back with his computer and showed me a design ( which I was not allowed to keep) of what type of shrubs would look good. I already had lots of greenery in the garden and wanted suggestions on flowering shrubs that would last all summer into fall. He came back with a quote to plant the shrubs, edge, $1665.00. I felt this was excessive since the garden is already established and I am only planting new shrubs and edging.
Description of Work: I purchased Angie's List Big Deal $69 to have someone come to my house to give me ideas on what type of plants to put in an existing garden in my front yard.

Cannot remember the exact date of the special that was posted on Angie's list. This "provider" had an offer for landscaping design/suggestions for property owners at a special fee. After being charged for / paying for this service, there was never any contact from this company. I had never expected this from someone on Angie's list, and am more than somewhat disappointed. Consequently, we contracted with another reputable landscaper (not through Angie's list) who provided us with a FREE assessment of what our property needed, with pleasant results thereafter. Unfortunately, we are out of the money paid to the original landscaper. Never again will we take advantage of an opportunity like this !!

Response from GREENSKEEPER
The customer obviously did not read the instructions because the add reads,'' An Angies list member has purchased a big deal from your business. The member has been instructed to contact you within the timeline specified to schedule their big deal. Sometimes customers take a few months to answer the adds, and we gladly honor them. I guess this customer gets an F for following directions.

John from Greenskeeper is great! From the time we met him, we knew he was a trustworthy guy and one we wanted to do business with. As our yard renovation project unveilled itself, with a lot of help from John, we were very impressed with his team as they transformed our old yard with little grass and plantings into a wonderful sight to see every time we drive up our driveway. We definitely reccommend Greenskeeper.
Description of Work: Large landscape project for single family home. From soup to nuts. Greenskeeper helped with landscape design Cleared to enlarge our original yard Completely hydroseeded property, provided perenniels, shrubs, plantings and installed pavers. Greenskeeper recommended paving company that we did use

The landscapers arrived the day and time we agreed on and the work was completed in the amount of time that was estimated. The hedges look great and the excessive amount of debris was all removed, leaving our yard clean. They were professional and did a very nice job.
Description of Work: We had the hedges surrounding our property cut and trimmed by half and four medium-sized blue evergreen trees removed.

We are very happy with our overall experience with Greenskeeper. John came to our house for a consultation and provided us with an estimate for the work that we wanted to have done. After we gave a deposit, the crew came to remove the old shrubs and photograph the gardens. John then came back with his computer to show us the digital landscaping designs he had created. He was very open to our feedback and made several changes to the original plans. On the day that the new shrubs were being planted, we were able to look at everything, and he even made a few trips back to the nursery to switch things that we were unsure of. The yard looks great, and John has been back to check in on how the grass and all of the plants are doing. What really impressed us the most about Greenskeeper, however, is that they helped us out with a few things above and beyond what was in the contract. There was an additional garden of hedges that we were initially unsure what to do with. We ultimately decided that we wanted to remove the hedges and plant flowers. John and his crew did this for us at no additional charge since they already had the equipment there. In addition, they moved a big pile of firewood for us and finished spreading mulch in our backyard, which were two things that I mentioned we had been meaning to get around to but never seemed to have the time. Overall, we found John and his crew to be professional, easy to work with, and responsive. We highly recommend them!
Description of Work: We had a significant amount of work done to our property. We moved into a house with a lot of old overgrown landscaping. We had all of the overgrown shrubs in the gardens surrounding our house (7) pulled out and new shrubs and trees planted. In addition, we had our entire backyard, which was filled with crab grass and weeds, leveled and reseeded. Parts of our front and side yards were reseeded as well.

Overall it has been a long process because of the rains and hot summer weather.
Description of Work: We had a drainage problem that ran from the street down the driveway through the backyard to the lake. A retaining wall with drainage pipe, gravel etc. and steps was built down by the lake with a sandy beach area. A cement block ramp for our dock was also included. Larger boulders where placed along the shore line where the beach wasn't. Greenskeeper seeded and applied weed killer. Unfortunately hard rains came before the grass could grow and washed out the seed. The hot weather didn't help the grass grow either but they returned twice to seed and repair the drainage problem. They will be returning again this month to follow up on any other grass and weed problems.

Description of Work: We asked John and the crew to come up with a landscape solution to our front yard. We wanted a nice view out the front window. I sent some pictures for him to get an idea what we were looking at. He got back to us right away and came up with a very nice kidney shaped garden. In addition, he tidied up all the existing gardens and boarders.

I received 3 quotes for the work I wanted done. John responded promptly, his price was fair compared to the other two quotes and I felt the most comfortable with him. He listened to what I wanted and provided vision on some things to do as well. He did not try to get me to do more than I needed. Due to all the rain my job got pushed just a few days and John worked with me to reschedule; they showed right on time as scheduled. John's team did a great job, the yard et al looks awesome and I am getting neighbors asking who did the work. I would definitely recommend John and will use him in the future.
Description of Work: John's team, led by Tony(great guy), weeded and mulched numerous flower beds, pruned and/or trimmed numerous plants, bushes and flowers, removed a small post-rail fence, pulled out two flower beds and seeded with grass, pulled some trees and plants and transplanted as recommended by John(one reason I picked him) and did an application of feed\weed to my whole lawn.

Following my initial call John Ferucci responded promptly and explained everything clearly and thoroughly/ He presented a fair estimate for the necessary work. The crew arrived a few days later and completed the work in a timely manner demonstrating professionalism. John also "pointed" some needy crumbling cement not related to the retaining wall damage. (no charge) Nice cleanup following the job. I recommend Greenskeeper based upon this experience.
Description of Work: Rebuilt a fallen-tree (tropical storm) damaged retaining wall/tower. Replaced bricks and caps as needed. Utilized geo-fabric for stability, cement and mortar where needed plus necessary glue.

My parents have a fairly large yard that needed a major cleanup. John came out promptly and gave me an estimate for the cleanup; he was very professional and clearly knowledgable about the process. We scheduled the work for the following week, and he and his crew were here promptly on the agreed upon day. The crew was also very professional and extremely hard working, explaining the process to me and handling my last minute requests with humour. It began to pour only a few hours into the day-long project, but they kept working until it became impossible to continue. They were back the following morning and worked for four straight hours without any breaks. They not only removed leaves and tree debris (without damaging any of the already blooming plants), as was discussed, but removed large limbs, tidied up all areas of the yard, weeded and pruned, redefined existing beds, tilled the soil, and rearranged existing lighting and yard ornaments that had been knocked over and buried by storms and leaves. The yard looks incredible - it doesn't even look like the same space! My parents are so pleased that they will be contacting Greenskeepers to do a whole new landscape design.
Description of Work: Complete spring cleanup of yard, including leaf and tree debris removal, weeding, pruning, and overall tidying and redefinition of existing landscape.

John, the owner, was prompt, reliable and professional through all aspects of the project, from estimating, planning through to installation. His crew was also reliable and hardworking. The result is wonderful and exactly what we wanted and had discussed. John was excellent at telling me how to take care of all the new plantings, and why plants were placed where they are. He called a few weeks after installation to see how the plants were doing and to see if I had any questions. When I called him later, during a particularly hot and dry spell, with concerns about some of the trees, he made a special trip to make sure all the plants were OK.
Description of Work: We have a fairly small yard in Providence that had very old and overgrown landscaping. We hired Greenskeepers to design a new landscape plan, then rip out the old landscaping, take everything away and install the new plants. We did all new beds in the front yard, adding a small area of sod. We ripped out almost everything in the back, redesigned the planting beds and added sod to make the small lawn slightly larger.

EXCELLENT!!! John from Greenskeeper did a great job designing and installing my new landscape. The crew and equipment the company has is impressive, especially his hydroseeder which was used to seed my yard. The professionalism that John and his entire crew demonstrated was superb. John took the time to listen & understand exactly what we wanted! My husband is in the construction field and has dealt with many landscapers but Greenskeeper proved to be superior! Even though we knew it would be pricey to do what we wanted, we absolutely got our monies worth and then some!!
