GreenOuse offers unprofessional, inconsiderate, and substandard landscaping services. I wish I had a say in which landscaping company our property management worked with. This would not be it. Extremely frustrating and disappointing. read more

I'm not the best "explainer" but Michelle understood what I wanted in our backyard and her crew executed it perfectly, even accommodating a last minute request. I was disappointed when our job was pushed back a week because we had a big outdoor party planned for the 4th. The crew was able to get the sod in on an earlier timeline by stopping by whenever they had a few extra hours. Everything else came together on the later timeline. In the end, we were able to use our yard for the party. Like us, everyone who was familiar with our "before" yard appreciated the GreenOuse "after" read more

Do not use GreenOuse. In Aug.2017 they redid my front yard. About 7-8 plants died within 2 weeks. They didn't test to see if the water was getting to the plants. After several phone calls & e-mails, Rob came out & replaced a bad valve. Then, in about a week, I had a flood. the new valve was bad. Rob did replace 2-3 of the dead plants & said the others were not in stock. Never heard back from them, until Dec. when I e-mailed a picture of my yard now, because they did not put down a weed barrier. She replied, said I really need maintenance, offered to give me a price & once again said Rob would replace the dead plants. Now it's Feb. 18th 2018, never got a price for maintenance, never replaced plants. PAID to much, for a front yard full of WEEDS. read more

I don't know if I have the words to describe how I felt when I saw the front of the house redone or not...it looks absolutely spectacular! How Michelle took a few of our ideas and likes - some fantastic recommendations from her and Rob and his crew turned half dead Bermuda grass, dated ivy and junipers and some half dead plum trees into a yard that should definitely be in Sunset. Oh did I mention all is drought tolerant, a water feature with no actual water and a pathway that ties it all together meandering through it all. Michelle and Rob make a great team, they are down to earth, professional and very knowledgable. Btw - the price for this - very reasonable! Worth every penny! Thank you Michelle and Rob - You two are the best! read more

GreenOuse Landscape & Design - Beautiful! - Landscaping Near Me

We've used greenouse for a few years now and they absolutely transformed our yard from a mess of weeds, poison oak and iceplant to a beautiful yard that we now enjoy and constantly receive compliments on. Michele was great in coming out and helping to design the whole scheme and bring our thoughts to reality. And Rob and his crew just tore through it in no time and his work is precise and and always respectful. He even fixed our given up for dead irrigation system. When we went looking for a landscaper my wife wanted someone who treated our yard like it was their own. That's what you get with Greenouse! read more

We had Michelle design our backyard which for 17 years was a weed patch. She spend lots of time with us and came up with a beautiful plan that was more than we had expected. We selected the low maintenance plants she suggested which required minimal watering and she provided us a very detailed bid for the work. The estimate was very fair and we were able to make minimal changes as the project moved along. Rob and his crew worked very hard and followed Michelle's design to a T...... and we ended up with a beautiful backyard which we now enjoy every day. Thank you Michelle and Rob for your commitment to excellence! Howard and Diana (La Selva Beach) read more

Please do not use Greenouse Landscape. Unreliable and they take a very long time to get back to their customers. Major disconnect between plans discussed with Michelle and Rob executing the actual work. The apple tree they planted (not the one I wanted) is now dying and there are weeds popping up all over the place because they failed to put down weed barrier. The pergola they built is off centered and wasted a bunch of pavers in this space. This is the worst buyer's remorse I've ever had. I paid way too much for what they delivered. Such a shame...... read more

I want to warn others about GreenOuse Landscaping. We hired them to maintain the landscape in our HOA community and they have done a *horrible* job. I would never hire them again as they have shown absolutely no desire to correct their horrible work practices - even when we ask them to stop butchering our trees, bushes and flowers. I asked to speak with their owner and she never returns calls. I was shocked that she just refuses to return calls. When we pointed out that they butchered yet another row of bushes in our community they tried to blame it on a construction company that did work on the second floor of a building in our community. We know for a fact that the construction company did not touch the plants. The people they use are not trained landscapers and it appears that all they want to do is butcher the landscape so they can minimize their work and get paid. If you are seeking a Landscaping Company that cares about their work, we suggest you avoid GreenOuse Landscaping. read more

GreenOuse permanently damaged most of the shrubbery in our development. I am embarrassed by how bad our property looks. They do not return your phone calls and do not show up when scheduled. No matter how many times we kick them off of our property, they keep coming back. This is a sign of a desperate company. Do not hire a desperate company. read more

GreenOuse landscaping saved me possible $1,000's. I appreciated the practical advice working with plants already established in my yard. Kind, helpful locals generous to our community and most importantly great at their jobs. read more

GreenOuse has been doing our yard maintenance for some time, it is great coming home to a fresh yard two times a month on a regular basis....I say that because our last maintenance crew seemed to come whenever they felt like it. Due to their awesome work and wanting to spruce up the yard a bit we asked for an estimate to upgrade our landscape. They came to our house and gave us a quote in a timely manner, after deciding we wanted the work done and returning a signed estimate, they were at our house within days and had the work done faster then that. Awesome work with a great eye for landscape design. I highly recommend GreenOuse Landscape & Design. read more

Our backyard was being redesigned completely, and we needed landscape construction for the plants, deck (with hot tub built into it) and a meandering walkway to be constructed with our giant pavers to be broken up into pieces. We had a landscape plan drawn up by someone already. We are overjoyed with the results, and here's a few details: -Michelle came out to bid the job and while her quote was more than the other quote, her questions and level of detail she delved into assured me she actually understood the job so I wouldn't be hit with unexpected costs down the road. The bid was very thoroughly itemized as well. -her deck subcontractor was amazing. -we had an issue with a drip, and Rob came out and worked on it until it was fixed. -the walkway looks so awesome. They had to break up giant pavers into roughly similar size pieces and then rough the edges so there weren't any straight edges. We are really impressed at how it turned out. -Michelle and Rob worked with my landscape designer really well, and I am grateful for the collaboration. In fact, my designer was also impressed by Michelle and didn't have to project manage it at all, like she often has to do. So thanks you guys, I think we'll bbq tonight in our shiny new backyard. read more

These people stole money from us. they are inept, they are liars, they are idiots. If you hire them you are dumber than me...I wasn't warned. Michele is an awful 'designer', Rob is a robot. If you are stupid enough to hire them, demand a price analysis!! They covered our yard in mulch they got for free at the dump!! Total loser company. Don't do it!! read more

Greenouse Landscape saved my backyard and my wallet very economic! I am very happy with the results and loving my new lemon tree! Thank you to Michelle and her crew you guys are awesome! I am definitely contacting you for my future landscape needs! read more

I need to lower review score further.... ... problems continue... with no help from Michelle or Rob to resolve issues. initial plan was nice but execution, timing and final results were more than painful. We had time, which was good, because the sheet mulching process took several months followed by multiple faucet, valve leaks, tubing leaks, timer malfunctions, and weeds that took over the entire landscape. Quote to clean up their own weedy mess was ridiculous. Total lack of customer care and sadly, what could have been a gorgeous project, turned out to be an $11,000 waste of money. We have spent an additional $1000 replacing plants and multiple repairs on the irrigation system. We continue to deal with watering system problems 6 months later and have paid hundreds in water surcharges due to leaks. No weed fabric was used and sheet mulching did not work. We have to pay $120 a month to keep up with the weeds and double that each month for ongoing repairs. No a happy customer. read more

I am thrilled with the first stage of our new front yard. Michelle was very easy to work with and was willing to do the work in installments as I could not afford to do it all at once. Her amazing husband was an incredible work force!! He had the work done right on time and was a pleasant person to visit with in my yard. There will be more to come. read more

If you are looking for a reliable landscape company in the Santa Cruz area, give GreenOuse a try for sure! read more

Rob and Michelle Ouse have been taking care of my yard on and off for years now. Michelle designed a beautiful back yard for me after a renter moved out ( having trashed the back yard with his dogs, and 8 puppies) I love it ! Their prices are very fair, and when I did have an issue with a plant being removed by a worker - a poppy bush that was beautiful, but getting quite large, Michell got back to me right away, and tried her best to get something replanted- it was too late, but she tried, and was right on top of it. That was very important to me. Great attitude, and pride in their work. I've had a number of Landscapers in the past. GreenOuse Landscape is the very best. read more

Worst Landscaping Business I've ever encountered. You talk to the woman, the man does the work, but the woman doesn't talk to the man. Ask for your hedge trimmed, come home to find a lemon tree. It's amazing they haven't starved to death. read more
