Strengths include being very knowledgeable about plants and being easy-going. Over the course of months having Green Artisans help with lawn and garden maintenance we started to notice more and more little problems that began adding up. Not wanting to trim down plants in the garden(stating it was not in their job description), not noticing problems around the yard(like a varmint hole), leaving fallen leaves from our property on the street next to our property, and so on. Problems culminated with not coming as scheduled, not communicating about that, and not being apologetic about that.

The landscape architect who installed my plantings, including a living wall and eco roof, referred me to Courtney and her crew for maintenance work. Other than give me a beautiful design, Courtney was the BEST find from him. I wanted a low maintenance yard and did not get one(review on that to follow). There is no way I could have maintained my landscaping and replaced the inappropriate plantings that had been installed without Courtney’s help. Her dedication to my property helped me maintain my sanity as we both discovered that some aspects were high maintenance and some plantings were inappropriate. If I could go back in time, I would have Courtney work with the landscape architect in choosing plants. Courtney knows plants! We’ve replaced a few and already my property looks much better, even though many of the plants are still immature. She consulted with the developer of the living wall to maintain something new to both of us. She also replaced 20% of the plantings on the wall with much more appropriate, and sustainable, plants after the original had died off(this was before she started working with me). She did a lot of research on plantings before making suggestions to me and they’ve all been great. She’s also referred me to an arborist when a tree trimming has been beyond the scope of her equipment. My eco roof turned out to be a disaster(the landscape architect was NOT qualified to install an eco roof and it’s now being replaced by a certified roofer). Courtney came to my house to meet with each eco roof company when they came to consult on my roof. That is serious dedication. Her staff is VERY courteous, knowledgeable and efficient. Ian is the worker I’ve seen most often and he’s great. The price is very affordable, especially for the knowledge and experience that comes with it. The best part about working with Green Artisans is the welcome I get when I return home the days they’ve been to my house. Everything looks wonderful.
