    Turf not secured + edging overlapping / not clean.
    Jeff J.

    As you can see, I've left dozens of 5 star reviews and very few if any low reviews. I hope that this review helps blooms gardening and others. First, let me start with the good. Paul is a good guy. He communicates well over text & phone and in person. He is trying to run a small business in a hard environment. I root for people like Paul. I like hiring people like Paul. Usually that works out; in this case, it did not entirely. I had Paul do some yard work for me. The main project was turf install. I'l get to that in a second. In addition, Paul also did some yard cleanout and some new plant install. Those things went very well. I'll add those pics later. The turf was the main project, and where most of the expense was. The end product is really not good. I've had many people --a half dozen --both from the trades and friends who have installed turf --take a look and all have pointed out the many ways it is subpar, which I've attached pictures of below. 1. The seam is in the wrong place. It simply is in the most visible place and unnecessarily. To his credit, Paul owned that this was a mistake placement, but didn't correct the job. 2. The seam is not tight --it's scrunched and pulls up anywhere you pull on it. 3. The edges are messy --see pics 4. The edges are not secure --see pics. 5. It's not at all graded --it has mounds throughout. I'm not sure how this is possible, as grading is a very basic thing one does before install. It's perhaps the most noticeable bad element of the job. To Paul's absolute credit, he was always responsive when I complained, but I knew it wasn't going anywhere --I was pushing a rock up a hill: he and I simply disagreed on what turf should look like when it's done, and I just grew tired of calling out problems when the fundamental problem is mine: I should have hired someone else. Win some lose some. To summarize, if I had to do it differently I * would not make final payment until I'm satisfied (not the first time I've made this mistake!) * would hire Paul for yard cleanup and light landscaping * would hire someone else for turf

    Paul and his crew did an amazing job clearing out our backyard in SF (removing the mulch groundcover, flower beds, stumps and several large plants), and replacing it with artificial grass and smaller but easier-to-maintain flower beds. We got exactly what we wanted - a much more usable space that is great for our kids to play in and relaxing for adults to hang out in. Paul was super easy to communicate with, and he and his crew did the work quickly and well - I'm so glad I hired Paul and highly recommend him to anyone looking for landscaping work in SF.

I work for an elementary school, and the team was very flexible with the school's hours and difficult access. Ambar in the front office always emailed back quickly and with kindness and enthusiasm! Daniel came for a preliminary site visit and was very clear about the project possibilities and limitations. When Carlos and the team came for the actual project, they went above and beyond to deliver the project outcomes. They removed a huge amount of green waste, removed rootballs, and provided quality tree trimming. They worked alongside our school volunteers for the second day of the project, and the volunteers loved chatting with the team! I couldn't recommend Go Green enough, we will definitely call them again for our next project!

I would highly recommend them to do any landscaping work you may have. Their front office, supervisors and project staff are completely customer oriented. Shout out to Rachel, Daniel, Dorian, Francisco and Eli. I found them on Yelp and their profile and reviews gave us the perception of a high quality and professional landscape company. as such I felt their pricing may be a bit high. I used Yelp to contact and communicate with them initially. Rachel impressively returned my request for information the same day. I also reached out to 2 other companies at the same time. My initial request was for weed clearing and contouring the front yard. They in fact quoted the highest price for this work. I then asked the three firms to quote the entire front yard landscaping project and this is where Go Green Landscape won me over. I had a plan sketch drawing of the yard with dimensions and notes of what we were looking for. Daniel came out to review this with me. He was patience and knowledgeable to the point where I felt comfortable working with Go Green. (I suggest you have some plans prepared so they can quote properly.) I gave them materials and finishes we desired and wanted to match some existing work we had done. Their quote came back detailed and precise. Everything was documented and clear. Granted we went back and forth a few times to make sure all items, details and costs were accounted for but Rachel handled this like a champ. Dorian, Francisco, Eli and the Team came out to start work. Let me just say these guys know what they are doing. They cleared the front yard in the first day! Then area by area, section by section they worked with me to bring our front yard concept to life. We opted for a super low maintenance design. Retaining wall blocks, pavers, crushed rock, artificial turf and river rock. The quality of care and professional work they provided will impress you. They went back and forth to dump site to drop off waste and to vendors to pick up materials as needed. They shifted workers from job to job as the work progressed. Seems like a well oiled machine with good organization. All in all the work was done timely and we are very happy with the final product. Give them a call!! Check out our before and after images

Tsering took our small, weirdly shaped, overgrown backyard and transformed it into a functional piece of art--all in only four weeks! We are so happy that our son will be able to enjoy it for years to come. Tsering is not just a contractor, but an artist and a craftsman. He does everything from start to finish. He provides a glimmer of his vision early on, in a simple one-page design. Once he starts working, he refines that vision and brings it to life with his amazing team. At the end of each day, we were shocked at how much they got done and at the quality of the craftsmanship. Tsering takes incredible pride in his work. After designing and building a beautiful fence for us, he geeked out over some of special hardware he installed to make it extra secure (and we otherwise would not have noticed). Moments like that came up during each phase of the project. Tsering also used the best materials, even when left to his discretion. He purchased more Ipe wood, poured more concrete, and even bought a bigger maple tree than in the estimate. (He did not charge us extra.) During the course of our project, Tsering also found many ways to improve our backyard (and home) that went beyond the scope of the project. He re-stucco'd an old balcony, re-did the weatherproofing of an old door, sawed through several busted lockboxes, and added an extra little Ipe wall. Because he was ahead of schedule on the project, he didn't charge us for any of it (not even materials). We've attached a few before and after photos, but they honestly barely do justice to his work. Tsering is one of a kind. If you want a backyard that looks like his portfolio, you should hire him. We are hoping that one day we'll be able to get on his calendar for our front yard as well.

    Tsering and his team totally transformed our courtyard from ugly, barely usable hardscape to a…read morebeautiful and functional outdoor space. The final result exceeded our expectations! From our first meeting, Tsering had a creative vision for the space, more nuanced than other contractors we met. We appreciate craftsmen like Tsering who bring a strong POV on the right way to do things, more than just building to a spec, and steer you away from bad decisions. Tsering personally supervised our project, and was onsite every day, often for significant periods of time. This is a very collaborative, hands-on, personalized approach from a small team, not a huge operation with many crews in the field. You feel like he treats your project like his own, with a high quality of work and attention to detail. It is a very cohesive design, site plan, materials, plants all working together beautifully. Tsering is great to work with - we appreciate his easy-going nature, patience, and sense of humor. Cannot recommend more highly.

I first met Humberto when I opened a Yelp project ticket in January. He was not only quick to respond, (he came over within an hour, on a Sunday), he also was transparent in his pricing and had great suggestions. I could tell he knew a lot about gardening. Humberto and Alejandro came in January for the first visit, and as was right for the season, they pruned all of the bushes, weeded the mulch and stone areas, and mowed the lawn. I liked them so much that first visit we made a plan for the next visit in the spring, which happened today! Humberto brought just the stone I wanted (he knew it by name when he saw it the first time), to refresh the old stone and also brought the mulch that we had talked about- both in the perfect quantity. Today they also mowed and fertilized the grass (the right time of year for that now), cleaned up all of my pots, put new plants in huge heavy ceramic pots, replanted some outlier succulents from the stone area, and did a thoughtful cleanup all around. He advised me about "sunny plants" and "shady plants" too, which was very useful. The yard is beaming with Springtime! Humberto is busy for a good reason, so plan for that, but a shiny well thought out garden is a joy.

The team radically transformed our backyard to a wonderful space. They were incredibly professional and clearly have a plan and know what they're doing.

We gave him a general idea of what we were looking for. He came back with a rough sketch of what we were looking for, and an estimate within our budget that included hardscaping *and* landscaping, along with irrigation and a contingency budget. (Lots of contractors we spoke to did landscaping or hardscaping, but not both; and none came with design ideas.) As demolition was ending, Monica came back with more specific designs, including for our deck and specific pollinator-friendly and low-water plants. The design discussion was collaborative and she took into account that the yard would be used by dogs and kids (thus plants needed to withstand less-than-mindful foot traffic). The crew were always on time and left the site (and our garage) cleaner than they found it. Thank you to Rob, Monica, Ryan, Mick, Oscar, and Keith for a fabulous job! As you'll see from before pics, the concrete deck was uneven, small, and the yard was a weedy sand pit. Now it's an amazing entertainment space where the kids can play safely, bees and hummingbirds can catch a meal, and then rest of us can hang out and enjoy!
