Landscaping reviews in Durham, North Carolina

I highly recommend Pleasant Green Grass. We recently moved to Chapel Hill from Florida. We have learned that lawn care is very different here. Scott has been really patient with all my questions and Charlene is always quick to reply to emails. We love that Pleasant Green Grass provides organic lawn care. I am a cancer survivor and I feel confident that I am not walking through round up when I’m in the yard. That means a lot. Thank you Pleasant Green Grass!

Pleasant Green Grass have been taking care of our yard for several years now. They are 100% reliable and work quickly and discreetly, taking pride in their work. All staff are very knowledgeable and Judy in the office is quick to respond to emails, as is Scott, the owner. The crew that mows our yard comprises a terrific bunch of guys. Our yard is a challenge as it is in the middle of the forest but I really feel that Pleasant Green have got it looking the best it can be with organic treatments. We like that we are doing our bit to help the bees! We have used several lawn companies over the years, Pleasant Green beats them all.

Update 5/22/17: My original review is below. Now, a year later, I am even more satisfied! Our lawn looks great! They worked with me over the past year to learn more about taking care of the lawn, feeding the lawn (organic compost) and basic maintenance skills, such as how short to cut the grass. Our lawn is plush and getting better by the day. Pleasant Green is the real deal. They are great, honest and hardworking.

Original Review
The team at Pleasant Green Grass is fantastic. They came out and did an initial review of my lawns (front and back) and took time to answer all my basic questions (I'm a city boy and have never had a lawn before!) They gave me clear and detailed estimates so that I could choose exactly what was right for me. We agreed on a plan and they set realistic expectations. They send informative emails before and after treatments and they stick to their schedules. Our lawn already looks much better and I am very pleased. I have 2 dogs, a baby and organic garden so their organic processes are essential to me...and the results are excellent.

We had sod installed with Pleasant Green Grass. The grass took really quickly and looks bright green and healthy. Communication was great and they were honest and trustworthy. Highly recommend!

Scott and his team did an amazing job this past fall (Oct 2016) of expanding the back yard (and installing new lawn) of our newly constructed home. The job entailed a lot of de-stumping, tilling and compost amendment to prep the area before seeding.They were even able to come out several weeks before it was scheduled, which was great. The price was fair, they did a great job and his team was very friendly. I tend to be a DIYer (for the most part) when it comes to lawn maintenance, and Scott is also very knowledgeable and generous about offering his advice so that I can make the right decisions. When I need help in the future, I'll certainly call on Scott and his team again...and will continue to recommend them to others!

These guys are always just so pleasant to work with. Communicative, thorough and professional. Wyatt and team were a pleasure to have on site. They even made the weirdest situation of my next door neighbor also installing sod on the same day work. The neighbor thinks my guys did a better job.

Highly recommend if you just want a reliable lawn care company. And we like their focus on organic solutions. Thanks guys. look forward to being a regular customer.

Wyatt and Otis were a total delight to work with! They were total professionals - hardworking and committed to making sure we ended up with great results! They clearly cared about getting it right and leaving our muddy, rocky yard looking great! They also are just really kind and pleasant people to work with! Not only that, but they tolerated our yappy dog with kindness and understanding. Can't recommend them highly enough!

Avoid at all times they lie they up charge for nothing there not good I would never hire them to do my yard

Over the course of about 18 months, they broke branches off our peach tree, killed a sapling we had planted by hitting it repeatedly with the weed whacker, killed a row of flowers (also with the weed whacker), broke a glass lawn ornament, and ran over a 50' garden hose with the riding mower.

My wife liked Mr. Wilson, so she kept paying them despite all the carelessness. When we moved, she told him the date of our last service. He ignored it, and called her for payment the first time they mowed after we moved out. When she reminded him that we didn't live there any more, he tried to pressure her into paying anyway, then hung up on her when she wouldn't give in.

AVOID!!!!! Tore up my yard and my neighbors and would not show up for weeks at a time!!!!!!!!!!

I began using Wilson Lawn Care service over a year ago. My first interactions with Mr Wilson were great. He was very pleasant and always made sure my yard looked great. However over the year the services really began to fall apart. On numerous occasions sections of my yard and my neighbors yard were destroyed by the use of their heavy duty riding lawnmower. After the first incident I brought it up to Mr Wilson and he ensured it would never happen again. Well it did. When I brought it up again he promised (again) that it would not happen again and that his guys would use a push mower in the affected areas. Instead of doing it right they just dropped me from their service without a phone call or warning.

All of this his was on top of the fact that my lawn would not get serviced at the agreed upon frequency. Mr Wilson was supposed to come out once weekly. I would have to call him numerous times to have his crew to come out to my house. He never called to explain the delay or to let me know when he would get to my property.

Overall I am very disappointed with the service and I would never recommend them to someone else.

Omg love this company they did a awesome jobon my lawn very respectable and know what they doing high recommended

Great service. I was greeted as soon as I walked past the gate and all my questions were answered. They ended up recommending me to another garden center because my request was outside of their scope, which was very kind of them, too.

one of Durham's best garden center. Large selection, friendly & knowledgeable staff. You get a wagon to roll around and load up your plant choices. They even help you load things in your car-did I mention very reasoanable prices?

This plant nursery is located in the West side of Durham about 1 mile from Bennett Place historic site. This nursery has a varied selection of annuals + perennials + trees + pots & supplies. The staff are friendly & welcome the chance to help you find the right plants for your needs. Easy parking.

I was just passing through NC and I am so glad that I stopped here. Staff were amazingly friendly and knowledgeable.

Excellent selection of tomatoes, herbs, ground covers, hostas, house plants, shrubs, and indoor plants all at very reasonable prices. I really enjoyed browsing there colorful selection of greens today and highly recommend the advice of the friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Wonderful garden center! They had non invasive wisteria and the delivery fee for a large order was just $15!

A little gem hidden away!

When I first arrived with my dad I commented that I wasn't expecting much, but this place truly surprised me. They had a little bit of everything and some varieties of plants you don't see in most places.

What an enjoyable visit!

The staff here is very helpful. The plants are always different when I come by so if you're looking for something specific, check if it's in season. Even if I don't find what I'm looking for, is a great place to visit and browse.

Excellent selection. Extremely knowledgeable. Took a lot of time explaining options, what would and what wouldn't work/fit my specific gardening needs.
Highly recommend, definitely worth the trip!

We had the Durham Garden Center assist us with outfitting our offices with plants and pots. They were super helpful in both selecting the plants and getting them potted/delivered. Highly recommend them!
