Landscaping reviews in Durham, North Carolina

We've lived in our house for 9 years and I have hired other companies to reseed several times, and tried to do natural soil ammendments myselft. The results were pretty awful - we never got great luck with reseeding and weeds and bare patches were taking over my yard. We finally hired Pleasant Green Grass about 6 months ago - after their targeted ammendments, aeration and reseeidng, our yard looks amazing! Easily better than it's ever been and now it's one of the best yards on our street. As a conservation biologist with a big pollinator garden, I was hesitant to hire a lawn care company, but I love their natural appraoch and care for our habtiat!

I've been using Pleasant Green Grass for quite a few years now. They are the best! My new lawn (on 1 mm of topsoil on top of a foot of clay) looks so nice now. I have recommended them to several neighbors! The only down side is that our lawn grows faster and needs to be mowed more often, but it is BEAUTIFUL!

Pleasant Green Grass saved the day for me. When the company I had originally contacted for the project in my back yard , I found myself scrambling to find another company. Fortunately for me Pleasant Green Grass was recommended . I was very impressed with the timeliness in which they came out to access the project and recommended a plan of action for the immediate need and for a more permanent solution next fall. Thank you Pleasant Green Grass for a very pleasant, professional experience and I am looking forward to phase two.

I'm a true believer in protecting the environment. So when I found Pleasant Green Grass of Durham I was THRILLED! My lawn has never looked this lush and green in the 10 years I've lived in my home. We tried the do it yourself "chemical" lawn treatments and had poor results. I highly recommend Pleasant Green Grass to anyone looking for a environmental solution to their lawn care! A great big thank you to Scott and his friendly staff!

Everyone should be concerned about the large amount of fertilizer and pesticides washing into our streams from manicured yards. Pleasant Green Grass uses only organic methods for helping you keep your yard looking nice while protecting the environment. They communicate well with their customers and don't shortchange people in applications. The organic approach requires more diligence, more expense, and the results are not monochrome green, but I find my yard responds better to stress than most of my neighbors' yards.

Pleasant Green Grass provides responsible, responsive, and high quality natural lawn and yard services with individually tailored solutions and lots of backup support and customer communication. I was impressed and pleased at every step this past fall as my requests for evaluation and service were responded to immediately, and the follow up work was done to high standards of thoroughness and attention to detail. There is a field staff and an office staff, and all cared and payed attention to my particular needs, adjusting service and timing according to the weather and my yard's condition at the time and answering my questions promptly. They even sent someone out to show me how to water properly and what equipment I needed. Although it's too soon to see the full results, I know I'm working with a company that cares and wants to get it right, and will go extra steps to make it happen. I'm also really glad to be working with a company that cares about the environment and actually knows how to do organic lawn treatments. My previous experience with another company was a flop, as they are really a grass cutting service and did not follow through with caring for my lawn's long term health and changing needs.

Scott and his crew a very responsive to all the needs that we have had. We have used them for two years or so and have been quite pleased to come home and have our entire yard look great. Anytime there's been an issue, they have been quick to rectify it or try to work with us to make it right.

I really couldn't ask for more, it is very difficult to find a good Landscaping Company. I haven't felt the need to change landscaping companies in two years, which is saying something in Durham!

They do what they say they're going to do they charge what they say they're going to charge and my yard looks great, what else could I want?

Pleasant Green Grass was informative, helpful, and encouraging, giving us more detailed information about our lawn than we had ever received before. This is our second year with them, and they have performed miracles: We have the greenest, fullest, lushest lawn we have ever had since buying our house in 1978. Lovely people to work with.

On our own, we would have never had the pleasant, green yard we now have.
After not a few years of trying to achieve even 50% grass coverage using organic products on our own, what we had was 90% weeds in a stunning variety, and very little grass. After a web search, we found Pleasant Green Grass. Now, over ten years later, we still use them and our grass just keeps getting thicker and greener. And still perfectly safe for the grandchildren and pets to romp across immediately after a treatment.

We love this company for their professionalism, good-natured crew, promptness and innovative methods of application. We can't imagine ever changing to another company. Try them--you'll like them!

Scott and his team at Pleasant Green Grass did a fantastic job with our pruning and mulching. His team was efficient and super pleasant to work with. They were very meticulous with the work they were doing, had great attitudes, and asked us for feedback to make sure everything was taken care of the way we wanted it. I will definitely be using this company again in the future! Thank you Scott and Pleasant Green Grass.

I am very appreciative of Pleasant green Grass -- the customer service, the products, and the results. Admittedly I am pretty hard to please when it comes to my yard, and the first couple of years I did not see much impact. So I kept sending Scott tough questions, i.e., "Is this really going to work?" He was patient with my questions, and kept encouraging me that things would begin to change after a couple of years of their service. Because Pleasant Green is environmentally friendly, I decided to stick with the program. And wow! I'm really glad I did! We're in the third year, and our grass looks better than it's ever looked in the 15 years we've lived here. Besides all that, we have critters in the lawn again (fireflies, grasshoppers, and little bugs), which is fun, and it means the birds are coming, too. I totally recommend Pleasant Green, and I particularly want to give a shout out to Scott: he's been super informative and helpful all along the way.

Pleasant Green Grass was great! I called them with multiple issues with our yard (aeration, fertilization, repair of drainage lines) and they were out to our house within a few days and fixed everything super fast and were very affordable. They even were able to fix our drainage system faster and cheaper than they had originally quoted! Definitely an amazing company with very helpful and pleasant people! I would highly recommend their services!

This past spring we switched to organic lawn care. Our lawn was a mess of weeds, literally probably 90% weeds. We have been working with Pleasant Green Grass to improve the soil, remove the weeds, and get grass to grow, without herbicides. We have been very pleased with the progress, and also very pleased with the company. They have a clearly outlined lawn care program, they communicate very well about our plan and next steps, they come out when they say they will and answer all questions I have. They have really been great to work with. I highly recommend them!

Our yard was in really bad shape after a super hot summer. Now it looks great! Working with everyone at Pleasant Green Grass has been easy because they are kind and so helpful. They've given us so much advice that has really paid off! They're affordable and organic too, which is great! Love this company!!

Pleasant Green Grass delivered a beautiful organic Christmas tree to us this year. It was so convenient, I found it waiting on our doorstep the last week in November. It smells amazing and it's really good to know it was farmed responsibly. We also love the crew that works on our lawn and garden each week. They are friendly, courteous and take time to make sure our plants and grass are thriving. I'd highly recommend this company!!

With pets and Grand-kids playing in the yard it was great to find a lawn care service that was completely organic. I'm starting my third season with Scott and his team at Pleasant Green Grass and plan on staying with him as long as I'm in the Triangle. A couple of things that really stand out with his company is how personable he and his staff. We get landscape tips from either Scott or his office manager Judy on ways we can keep our lawns beautiful year round. Before they put anything down on your lawn we always receive an email letting us know what it is and whether or not it needs watering. Thank you Scott and team for a beautiful and safe lawn.

Pleasant Green Grass has great customer service and good results for our lawn. Scott and his team have always responded right away to any concerns or question we have had. When we moved into our new house, the previous owners didn't do organic lawn care but the lawn was beautiful. We were uncertain if we would be able to maintain that throughout the transition to organic, as we knew that it was a process of strengthening the lawn overall but would take a few seasons for this to happen. Scott has managed to not only keep our lawn looking nice, but is fixing areas that are spotty, working with us to deal with weed growth throughout, and making our lawn healthier than when we moved in. Several neighbors have commented on how nice it looks and we are happy to have Pleasant Green Grass caring for our lawn.

We've been doing business with Pleasant Green Grass for several years now.
They do a good job.
Results are also always dependent on the weather if you do not irrigate your lawn.
The e-mail communication is good between customer and company and the proprietors are friendly and affable.
If your philosophy toward lawn care is to go the organic route, I believe Pleasant Green Grass would be a good choice.
If I were to offer one suggestion, it would be for a regularly scheduled annual on-site visit between the owner and customer at the customers site.

This is a great company! Our grass has never looked better. We moved into a new home and the sod was laid on compacted clay. I knew it wasn’t doing good, so we ordered an estimate. Estimate outlined everything and why we needed it. We were put on the schedule immediately, got our lawn aerated and naturally fertilized, then some compost top dressing. It took no time at all and our grass is looking amazing! Even got compliments from neighbors. Highly recommend. We really wanted a company that prioritized organic and got a great result. I’m so impressed, I reviewed without being asked. Thank you, Pleasant Green Grass!

We have been using the services of Pleasant Green Grass since we bought our first house 8 years ago. They have cared for our lawn, helped us build a garden box, delivered and spread mulch and organic soil for our vegetable gardens. I feel good knowing that the work they do is never adding to the pollution around us as an organic company. I can confidently let my child and our dog play in the yard without concern for chemicals on the lawn. And also have peace of mind that we are not contributing to polluting our drinking water. I highly recommend Pleasant Green Grass.

I have been doing business with Pleasant Green Grass for over 8 years now. The service is stellar. I chose Pleasant Green Grass because, for my family's health, I wanted to avoid the toxicity of the products used in traditional lawn care. Scott, the owner, has always been helpful and available to answer questions and address my yard's needs. Another service point I appreciate are the emails PGG sends to alert me of my service dates, any important related instructions and to educate me on the best ways of taking care of my lawn. Chad has also been a great help in maintaining and fixing my irrigation system on several occasions. If you are looking for a way to take care of your lawn in a less toxic way, I feel Pleasant Green Grass is an excellent choice.
