Verified Omar and his hard-working crew installed plants, a flagstone walkway, and a drip system in my front yard. The whole process was smooth and efficient from start to finish. I am so pleased with the end result, and if I could give them more stars I would. I recommend them without reservation and will gladly hire them for future projects.Posted on Yelp Laura D.Verified Green Bay Landscaping replaced the front yard lawn with low-maintenance plants/trees, installed paver for the driveway and pathways while extending the driveway. In the backyard, they put a fresh batch of grass, planted trees and shrubs. Also installed were three vege boxes and a new patio area. New irrigation systems were installed in the font and the backyard along with path lights and spotlights. Omar and his crew were beyond terrific. They were very fast and meticulous. They completed my projects in about 2 weeks (others estimated that it'd take 5-6 weeks). The speed didnd't come at the cost of the quality. They achieved both by putting more fokls to my project. I'm very happy with the result. So is my family. Omar is very easy to communicate with and his response is always timely and to the point. My neighbors and passers-by have been very much impressed by the outcome. I highly recommend Omar and Greenbay Landscaping. Ifyou need landscaping/hardscaping, don't look further.Posted on Yelp Jungshik S.Verified From start to finish Omar was very professional and responsive. The team listened to all my concerns and addressed them. Their work turned out way better than I imagined. I will definitely hire them again for my next project.Posted on Yelp Mark C.Verified Green Bay did a fantastic job! They completed transformed my front yard into something of beauty. The design of the pavers for my front walk is a work of art! It has a graceful curve and some intricate details that went way beyond my expectations. The drip irrigation they installed is very sophisticated, and connects to local weather conditions and so knows to skip watering if it's raining. I can't recommend them enough.Posted on Yelp Charles C.Verified Omar was very quick to respond to my inquiry about a quote. He was totally professional, extremely quick in responding at all times and my lawn has never looked this good. His men worked super fast, super hard and left no mess or trace that they had been there at the end. He even returned every few days after the lawn had been laid to check everything, look at the sprinklers and make sure it was progressing well. I only have good things to say about the company - good price, great service and polite respectful attitude. Thoroughly recommend Green bay Landscaping.Posted on Yelp Janine G.Verified Can't recommend these guys enough. They have done various jobs in our yard over the years, including full backyard restoration after we installed an ADU. Also rebuilt a carport, impecable work! Easy to work with, reasonably priced, and do excellent craftsmanship! They have been able to meet tight deadlines when needed, and deliver above expectations, making great suggestions to improve our landscaping. You won't regret hiring them!Posted on Yelp jenn w.Verified Can't recommend these guys enough.

We have used them for many years on a variety of projects from basic landscaping to fence repair to tree maintenance and they always do top-notch work and make sure everything is cleaned up properly at the end of each job. They just spent the day on Friday trimming our giant redwood and glad they did given the atmospheric river and winds that came in over the weekend. Tree looks great! And they provided the best price out of the three quotes we received.Posted on Yelp Gary G.Verified Green Bay landscaping has done extraordinary work for me and my family in Menlo Park over the past six years. Omar and his team are hard-working, honest, and highly responsive. We have had Omar and his team do extensive fence work, landscaping, brickwork, demolition, gravel work, gardening beds, paver repair, irrigation (new and repair) and significant new plantings. In addition, I have referred Omar to my friends and neighbors and everyone has said they were grateful for the referral. I cannot recommend Green Bay Landscaping more highly.Posted on Yelp Rich M.
