Green Oasis

We have had multiple companies and crews working on our house, both inside and out, over the last 3.5 years.

Far and away, Green Oasis and their crew on our project were the most impressive by far and the biggest reason we will be working with G.O. for all our landscaping projects moving forward.

They were polite, professional, and understanding of the needs we had around our son napping near their worksite, respectful of our neighbors and neighborhood, and just so pleasant to have at our home. Then to add on top, they did incredible work and made our backward look even better than the pictures.

We were proud to have them here and never worried once about how they would be with our neighbors.

I honestly cannot say enough about those guys and I really hope they get the credit and recognition they deserve for the work they did at our house. We were beyond impressed by their skills, work ethic, and professionalism.

Their design lead, Ben, was also a pleasure to work with. He worked so diligently redesigning and updating the proposals and working with us.

Green Oasis project review a year after completion. I have a lot to say here and I hope I remember everything and that I’m clear. This review cover three projects landscaping the front of the property, a deck and a pad for a shed. We met these folks at one of those home and garden shows.

Let me say that we’d been looking for someone to do landscaping for us for a few years. It’s a hard decision. It’s so difficult to know if the landscaper really understands what you’re looking for. Ben came out and we spent a couple hours together going over what we wanted, the problems the property presented and budget. This meeting took place before the snow was gone. In the end his proposal was significantly over budget BUT the design was so good and presentation exceptional! We had other plans and pricing but GO was clearly the best.

We had a deck that was 20 some years old. The surface boards and railing were in horrible shape but the base structure was fine. Green Oasis did a very good job on the deck. It looks super and everything is solid. We opted for a composite deck material. A year in we’re really mostly pleased with it. It looks every bit as nice as when completed.

If we had it to do over I’d have asked not to have risers or side stringers put on the stairs. These items really trap all twigs, helicopter seeds etc. making the stairs looks dirty all the time and more difficult to clean. In fact dirt and debris looks worse in general than on our weathered red wood. (A darker color may have help?) The two individuals doing the work were pleasant and easy to work with. My only complaint was that the yard was dirtier that I expected where they did the cutting. I guess I thought that would be cleaned up more. No big deal.

Pricewise it was in the neighborhood of most of the bids we had done. Near the middle of the pack as I remember it.

There’s not much to say about the shed pad. The area was cleaned (it had been a garden and then a compost heap) dug out and class 5 added and compacted. Nice job.

The land and hard scape was done on time and on budget. We had a couple of problems. The entrance area was holding water, it wasn’t running off. We complained. Took some pics and sent them in. Green Oasis came back and redid that area. Just fine now. Likewise a couple of the plants were not as specified and midsummer summer they were replaced. The only thing I’d do differently is pay for more mature plants, those beginners and still tiny.

The Green Oasis people are professional and do excllent work.

Green Oasis is simply the best for all of Woodbury, the Twin Cities and beyond! Their customer service can't be beat and they care about their clients.
