Green Spaces Landscaping

We had a large landscaping project for our yard, including some regrading and adding a patio. The design was thorough and we were happy with the work by the crew. They were very flexible, providing lots of options, and they had lots of good suggestions for our space. They weren't pushy about any of the services, and we were able to keep to our budget.

Beware of the design charges & lack of professionalism!

I started a discussion with Bruce Sarvis regarding our back & front yard landscaping in November, hoping that our new yard would be planted by December / January to take advantage of Spring growth spurt. In my initial discussions, I enquired of the availability of the crew and was assured of the same in December or January. Knowing that, we went ahead with setting up meetings. I was told to book time on his calendar, which was all booked up, so I reached out to him to see if he had time, to which he said he only had time in January- 01/20. I again enquired if that would delay our installation to which he assured me it would not...my mistake of not seeing the red flag. I was given appointment for 01/20/25, when I checked to reconfirm the appointment, I was told it was a mistake and they don't work on that day, and so it was rescheduled. Finally, we met on 01/26, with a design board and us giving feedback on it. Obviously, by this time we were past having installation in January, but I was assured again it would be definitely done in February. Our next meeting with design and cost estimates was scheduled for 02/10. I had told him we would be traveling for the week starting 02/12, and so it was a hard deadline. On 02/10, I got a message that he was unwell and he needs to reschedule. That's where I chose to give up on them and scrambled to find another landscaper to handle my project.

One would imagine that would be the end of unprofessional behavior, but then there office starts hounding me for design fee for a project which was handled in the most unprofessional manner.
Please beware of such people and organizations, who keep customers secondary in their business. And DO NOT make the mistake that I did... I paid for it, and I'm warning you, so you don't have to!

We had an excellent experience working with Green Spaces on our front yard project. They designed and built our new walls and walkways with planters, and the results exceeded our expectations.

Ryan, the designer, was fantastic to work with, he was thoughtful, creative, and responsive throughout the process. The crew was equally impressive: friendly, professional, and clearly proud of their work. Their attention to detail really shows in the finished product.

We’re extremely happy with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Greenspaces to anyone looking for high-quality landscape design and construction.

Green Spaces did a spectacular job on our walkway and stairs. Previously we had flagstone that was installed improperly without the proper base. Ryan explained the issues with how it was installed and how the correct process for installation. He helped us select material for a new paver walkway and even met with us at a rock quarry to select boulders with us. The crew worked really hard and were approachable whenever we wanted minor changes made. Ryan had no problem when I asked him to redo one minor part of the walkway because I didn't like it. He wanted us to be happy with the final product. The work is also guaranteed. Green Spaces does the job correctly and is satisfied when you are.

Green Spaces Landscaping transformed our backyard into an inviting space that we are simply thrilled with. We found and purchased a design consult coupon from Green Spaces Landscaping on Angie's List to get some ideas about what might be possible in our backyard. Ryan Sarvis came out to our home and spent quite awhile sharing ideas and inspiring us. Ryan listened to our hopes and answered all our questions. We had a rough idea of what we wanted to do before contacting Green Spaces; but Ryan brought our thoughts and ideas into focus and had many ideas we never even contemplated. Ryan is very knowledgeable about landscaping, hardscaping, decking, patios, lighting and more. Although we did have a few other quotes, we felt Ryan's expertise across a multitude of disciplines would be beneficial in ensuring everything would come together as planned.
We had a couple of revisions of our contract/bid and the work to be performed and Ryan was flexible with us to maintain our targeted budget while still achieving our main and most important goals/priorities.
There was a bit of delay due to the poor air quality this late summer but once the project kicked off we were so impressed by the Green Spaces Landscaping crew. We were blessed to have Matteo and Hayner as our two primary craftsmen. Hayner and Matteo were wonderful to have working around our home. For six weeks they came every weekday like clockwork showing up early in the morning and working tirelessly throughout the day in the wind, rain and even some brief snow. They are very conscientious and they take great pride in their work. We had a lot of fun talking with them about the work being done and they were very helpful when we asked questions about what was being done or fine-tuning some of the decisions. When I'd ask if something could be adjusted a bit; Hayner would say 'you're the boss'! We miss the guys and hope we get to work with them again in the future.
One tidbit of advice is to communicate often with your designer. We worked directly with Ryan and a few times some ideas would get mixed up or forgotten so it is important to get as much detail as you feel you need to ensure you and the Green Spaces team are on the same page and have the same expectations. That said, Ryan was always able to accommodate our needs and we truly felt that his company's ultimate goal is to make his customers dreams a reality and do so at a fair value and with quality workmanship.
In summary, we are very pleased with the outcome of our backyard makeover and are so thankful that Ryan and team were able to take on our project. We hope someday to have Green Spaces back to our home and re-work our front yard!
