Quick update (12/13/2014): This review is seven years old and someone just wrote to say that the company has a different owner. Things usually change when there's a new owner so don't be afraid to give them a shot and if they do a good job, write a better review than I did. Okay, back to my review from 2007...
---------------------
This review is for Green World's snow plowing services only. Maybe they do better at landscaping, I don't know. But when it comes to snow plowing, I think this is the first 1-star review I've done.
Here comes the rant: If you like the idea of coming home from a long weekend to discover that you can't get into your driveway, and that once you get in, your driveway which is normally wide enough for two SUVs or three small cars is now wide enough for only one car, you might like how they plow. If you think that the best place to pile snow is on someone's front steps, then you'd fit right in and maybe they'll hire you. And if you don't like to get mail, you'll love these guys. They have a hard time with the concept of plowing out a mailbox. Or maybe they just didn't try. In any case, we're not getting our mail. The thing is, we've had good plow guys before. We know what they can do if they care. Green World doesn't do that.
Okay, if you're a city person then you might not understand. In beautiful New Hampshire, you have to plow the snow away from your mailbox if you want to get mail. The post office doesn't exactly use jeeps, and they have to be able to reach the mailbox from their truck. Now that the snow has melted and frozen in place, we're not getting mail until the spring because that snow that should have been moved out of the way has now turned to ice.
Back to the rant. Have any trouble, just call Green World in Hampstead, NH on their toll free number or the local one. Pick the one that works best for you because you're going to a recording. No one is there and no one calls you back.
So that's the deal. Snow plowing doesn't seem to be what they're good at. I can't tell you about their other "horticultural services", but you can draw your own conclusions based on the luck we had with plowing.
Oh, if they ever call me or try to fix things up, I'll add that to the review. It's the incompetence followed by the silence that really pissed me off.
Update 12/29: The owner called and apologized. He says that they're not like that and he's upset with someone who works for him. Okay. If the way I was treated was really unusual, I'm sure there will be other glowing reviews (and not from 1-review, 5-star fake yelpers, either.) read more
