I initially contacted Green Gardeners to get a quote for pruning my 13 year old rambling rose. But once I met with Andrew I decided to get him to quote on landscaping the strip of land at the side of the property as well. The problem was that there was a severe slope to the area and over the years, because water just cascaded down the slope and into the roadway, the soil had become clay-like and didn't nourish any plants. Andrew suggested a terraced look to the area to alleviate the problem, and suggested that perhaps a few junipers and some ornamental grasses would be not only attractive, but easy to care for. We agreed on the price and the design and within a week he and the crew of 2 went at it. They arrived on time in the morning and worked straight through until suppertime. The roses were properly pruned and all the deadwood, weeds and debris were loaded onto the truck and hauled away. The landscaping was even better than I had dared dream of and everything was cleaned up and taken away. Andrew really knows his stuff and so did the men he had with him. This was, without a doubt, the most pleasant experience I've ever had with an outside contractor and I intend to use them for more projects I have in mind for the backyard. The cost included not only the labour of 3 men for a full day, but the natural stone blocks used in the landscaping, and 4 shrubs and 6 ornamental grasses.
