Don't bother.
Response from The Greener Side Lawn & Landscaping LLC

"We were completely unaware of how dissatisfied this customer was. At the time (nearly 5 years ago) we did not offer design services in house and contracted an outside designer to provide this service. After mailing invoices a number of times and receiving no response, we paid the professional designer for the design and considered the transaction a write off. We understand that occasionally designs do not hit the mark and need to be reworked or re-done; however, in this case we were never given the opportunity to make changes. During our most recent correspondence we did not ask for payment, we simply said we were not interested in providing an estimate for her project. I am comfortable with the way my company handled this situation. I believe other member reviews more accurately describe the type of business we run, and our commitment to our customers."

As always, The Greener Side was here today for my weekly mowing and clean up. Last year when I was moving, I called Aaron to request an estimate for landscaping my yard and to add curb appeal. He came the next day as promised and he gave me an estimate in less than 24 hours. He took care to listen to my needs and concerns, and he worked within my budget. I was more than happy with their job. My yard was beautiful when they were through! Additionially, The Greener Side has cleaned my gutter's upon request and they did a wonderful job. They always are neat and tidy and most importantly, I can count on them every time.

From start to finish it was a piece of cake. The spring wet weather did slow down the process, but The Greener Side finished the project by our mutually agreed upon deadline. They were prompt to provide a free estimate, their contract was straightforward, and their finished product looks great. I really appreciated their attention to detail, friendly crew, and going above and beyond. For example, we had to pile everything in our backyard onto our deck. They took the time to reorganize the furniture, lay pavers we already had to create a walkway on our side yard, and washed off our deck to name a few. I highly recommend their services.

We'd been having major flooding issues in our back yard. Even with minor rains, the yard was muddy and wouldn't dry out. The kids couldn't use the play set and the garage door was starting to rot. The water even seeped in the garage to mess with stuff inside. It was a MESS.

Aaron came out and looked at it both on sunny days and during rain to see where the problem areas were and how the water *should* be draining out. He came up with 3 different plans (at 3 price points) and was more than willing to work with us when we had concerns.

We were hoping to get the water out of the yard. What we weren't expecting was that the yard would look so gorgeous when they were done! We are really thrilled with the final look of the back yard and it has already rained and it certainly seems at this point that the flooding issue has been solved.

I highly recommend Aaron Gorski and his team at the Greener Side. :)

After a rough winter, we needed our entire yard and landscaping to be cleaned up for the spring/summer season. The owner of the company came to our property and we discussed what we wanted. He made notes and we got an itemized statement with prices in less than a week. We signed and accepted the estimate and the work was scheduled. The work crew came on time and did exactly what we wanted and expected. From start to finish, everything was completed as agreed. Price was reasonable and fair given the extent of the physical labor, time expended, materials supplied (soil and mulch) and more complicated labor involved in cutting and removing trees and tree limbs. I would recommend this company without hesitation.

In this specific instance, I was entertaining on 9/23 and had not done any work in the yard since early July. Needless to say, the back was so over grown that my hammock wasn't even visible! As the date drew nearer, my schedule became more hectic making my ability to do the work myself impossible. The Friday before the event, in desperation, I called The Greener Side. Debbie understood my plight and was able to schedule the crew for the following Wednesday. The work was meticulous and my yard still looks wonderful. I have used the Greener Side to handled my heavy duty yard work, lawn mowing, lawn care, snow removal and such for a few years. The quality of the work is superior to anyone else I have ever used. I recommend the Greener Side wholeheartedly.

Working with the Greener Side team has been amazing. We moved into a house that needed major yard work; including removal of thick bamboo and the regrading of our water-collecting backyard. Aaron, the owner, was prompt and detailed oriented throughout the entire process. After the regrading of the back yard, Aaron and his team placed sod down, put up barriers for the bamboo not to come into our yard, and mulched around the trees and shed. The front yard was an equal mess before Aaron and his team came in. We had a lawn of ivy in the front and side yards, which is now covered with beautiful trees, bushes, flowers, and mulch. They also installed new pavers which brings us from the driveway to the back yard. We are so excited about the way our home looks and highly recommend using the Greener Side for any landscaping needs.

Unreal. We've been with this company for about 7 years, and I can't believe they're not already on Angie's List with rave reviews. Aaron Gorski is always responsive, he is professional, pleasant, and his crew does the job and does it right. The Greener Side has provided us with both lawn services as far as cutting the lawn weekly in the Summer, and has also done a complete landscape of our property in the past. They have also cleared our sidewalk and front walk of snow, raked leaves in the Fall (they have the schedule for leaf pick-up, and they do it just before each one), and cleaned gutters. They now offer lawn treatment services as well. The Greener Side is a solid company with a great crew of guys who are always courteous and clearly hard working. We recommend them without hesitation if you're looking for a lawn care service or landscaping for your home.
