Luis is a nice, positive guy, and I'm bummed I have to leave this review. Unfortunately he was woefully underprepared for my job he bid and performed. I hired Green Zone to dig a ~45' trench to a shed in my backyard at 2' deep for electrical conduit. He initially bid the job at one day and $810. I made the mistake of assuming he had a trencher and other equipment for this task. He showed up on day 1 with a gas auger for post holes, not a trencher. After a couple hours on day 1, he said the cost would actually be $1500 , nearly double the original cost because of some unexpected difficulty with rocks and other debris. He spent a ton of time trying to get the auger to start/restart throughout the day. Of course he wasn't able to finish that day, and said he'd come back with electric tools more appropriate for the job. On the second day, he came back with the same gas auger, though it seemed to be in somewhat better running order. About halfway through that day, he said he wouldn't be able to dig a straight trench because of debris. He eventually got someone to bring an electric saw he used to remove this debris, to his credit. At the end of the second day, he said he was going to come back with a mini excavator to finish the job. On the third day, he did come back with one, but it was extremely large for the space and resulted in a completely destroyed yard surface, a damaged structure in the yard, and concerns about the shed foundation. read more

This is the second time we used GreenZone. Called them to do tree trimming and some landscaping on our front and back yard. It was a very big job but Luis and his team worked very hard and got it done. They did great quality work and we are very pleased. Gave us some great advice on future maintenance as well. read more

Outstanding Landscape Service! I recently hired Green Zone to remove a large amount of dirt from my property, and I could not be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and incredibly easy to work with. Their team arrived on time, took the time to understand exactly what I needed, and got straight to work. The job was completed much faster than I expected, and they left the area looking clean, level, and ready for the next phase of my project. I appreciated how careful they were around the rest of my landscape--no unnecessary mess, no damage, and no corners cut. Communication was excellent throughout, and the pricing was fair and transparent. It's rare to find a company that combines quality workmanship with great customer service, but Green Zone truly delivered. I highly recommend them to anyone needing dirt removal or any type of landscape work. I'll definitely be using their services again! read more

Luis did a great job on my front yard--weeding, edging, added bark layer, trimmed bushes. A lot of work since I missed Autumn maintenance. The price was reasonable, and Luis was very pleasant to work with. Will be scheduling work in my back yard next. read more

Green Zone - Prestine beds. - Landscaping Near Me

I bought an old home with a mature, overgrown front and back yard that had been neglected for over a year. On very short notice, within two days, and for a very reasonable price, Luis and his crew did a great job on a complete cleanup. They pruned several trees, including fruit; removed dead dill stands, thick blackberry brambles, some "weed trees," and all kinds of entangled weeds and underbrush, then hauled away the debris, and spread mulch. Luis had a good knowledge of plant needs, and also understood the "wild and organic yet tamed" look I wanted. He had the skills and confidence to work fast, but the judgment to know just when to pause and ask for my preference. His crew was considerate, hard-working, and professional, and I appreciated that they were willing to work all weekend to accommodate my travel schedule. It was a massive, stickery job, and the Green Zone team did it very well, very fast, and with a great attitude. read more

They did a great job for me today. Removed my truck canopy and took it away. Lewis was great. I would definitely recommend Green Zone for waste removal. read more

I hired Luis to remove some blackberries and bamboo out of my backyard. I also wanted him to backfill some window wells that I installed. He gave me an estimate of $950 for the root and brush removal including the roots and $320 for the dirt work. I gave him a deposit of $700. Luis showed up for a partial day (about 5hours) and another partial day (2 hours) 3 weeks later after I contacted him to see when he was going to come back. When he finally showed back up he moved some power tools that I had in a rain shelter out of his way. He didn't cover the tools back up and they have sat in the rain for three weeks now. I work out of state for weeks at a time so I couldn't put them away. I told Luis that I was going to hire someone else to finish the job and I feel like I need some type of a refund and this was his response: "You said you would have them turn off the electricity that never happened I think I've done for what you give me. My life is not worth that but I think I did work for that but okay " I told him that the power company agreed to kill the power for him. Pretty sure he needed to schedule that since it would have been off for a month waiting for him to decide to show back up. I am now out $700, a 10" table saw, and a 12" compound miter saw. read more

Green Zone - This is how he left my yard for $700 - Landscaping Near Me

Nice guy. Worked hard, did a good job. Very Reasonable on price. Was late to both appointments but called ahead -- and I know traffic between Vancouver and Portland can be a mess. Small disagreement on what was included in his original fixed bid -- but nonetheless he earned every bit of his $600. Would hire again but I'd put the work scope in writing -- would prefer to pay more $$ and get better sense of project completion next time. (I don't like fixed bids based on photos but I understand why others do.) read more

Jacob has given us a lot of good ideas about designing plantings for the slope in our front yard, and he is not the least bit intimidated about clearing out the blackberries in our back yard read more

Called this company for an estimate for several landscaping projects. Was instructed to "text" our address. Then.....nothing. Texted again....nothing. It's getting pretty bad when companies don't even meet with you before they ghost you. What a short-sighted way to do business. Silver lining is that I discovered this BEFORE I hired them. *(I recommend this company. They are awesome: yelp.com/biz/daniel-v-la...) *In response to owner's comment below: I followed your directions exactly as you asked and even sent another text to the telephone number I used to speak with you. It's no problem if your company is busy...we just need to know that. Perhaps write down the information in addition to the electronic source. A customer shouldn't have to follow up or wonder if their text "went through." read more

Removed 2 trees and stacked firewood . Great price and fast service. I definitely recommend Green Zone and Luis!

I had a great experience with Green Zone, and its owner Luis. He responded quickly, and his bid quote was very reasonable, comparatively to his competitors. I had these two large well established Yuccas in my front yard basically flush to the house planted by the previous homeowner who had no idea how problematic yuccas can be in the Pacific Northwest. I grew up here in the Portland area thinking that desert plants wouldn't fair well here. I was wrong. Once established, yuccas have very annoying self defenses, and very elaborate root systems that are a huge problem to get rid of. Well, Luis made this problem go away and for that, I am very thankful. Now I have a thriving plant bed, read for any endeavor. Thank you Luis, and I look forward to doing business with you in the future. read more

Look no further! Luis and his team were extremely knowledgable when removing our 90 ft Doug Fir tree. They were very pleasant to work with. We then asked for them to remove a few other trees while they were there and he did it quickly and well! Our neighbor saw them outside and asked for help and she was thrilled with them too. They were honestly the best thing that happened to us after the "Portland wind and ice storm of 2024". Our backyard looks 110% better thanks to him. read more

Best price, prompt, friendly, and thorough. We used them for a home renovation construction wate pile. Would recommend.

Luis and his team were able to come out on a days notice to help me out. They cleaned up some arborvitae that have not been trimmed or taken care of in 10+ years. They were able to clean up, remove one of the arborvitae's in front and back, mow, and edge the lawn in record time. I chose Green Zone as I did not feel as though I was being treated as a transaction and Luis listened to what I was asking for. I would recommend them for your lawn care needs. read more

Luis and his team at Green Zone did an excellent job for our major yard clean up. Our yard was very over grown and now it looks beautiful read more

Luis was very responsive to my request for a quote for some landscaping work. I got a handful of offers before deciding to go with Green Zone, which was very competitive with their pricing. Luis listened to what I wanted for my project and was able to come out and complete everything in a day, that same week. He was quick to respond to any questions and checked in with me at all my requested check-in points of the project. Would call Green Zone again for future projects. read more

Green Zone LLC replaced our front lawn with sod. Luis and his team worked hard as they had to remove the old grass, moss, and a layer of clay dirt to be replaced with quality soil to help the new sod. They also added a drain system to make sure water would flow away from our foundation. They moved sprinklers to help with future irrigation. The price was very competitive and his choice of sod is of quality. Our contract stated 7 inches of dirt was going to be replaced, they removed about 4. Some of the sprinklers were not placed at their optimum positions to make sure all of the grass would be watered properly. Overall, Green Zone did a good job. read more

I wasn't going to leave this, but now I see someone else had the same experience very recently, so it may be a pattern worth knowing. I got an immediate response on Yelp, then nothing. I followed up, then days later someone called out of the blue, barely audible on speakerphone saying they were on the way to my house... but I unfortunately wasn't available to meet right then. We rescheduled for the next business day and they no called/no showed. read more

Luis and his crew were great! I appreciated the thorough quote Luis provided, explaining what he would do and asking me good questions about what I was wanting. I had him trim some overgrown bamboo and bushes as well as clean out some garden beds, and everything looks so good now! read more

Luis and his crew showed up within a day to assess the large fallen Doug fir tree between me and my neighbor's yard. Their quote was the most reasonable and they were able to start the tree removal within a few days of notice to proceed. They were efficient and did an excellent job of cleaning up the debris. They respected our property and were very professional. The Doug fir also crushed part of the fence. Luis and his crew provided another reasonable quote to replace the entire fence. They returned shortly after tree removal and completed the entire fence within a few days. The fence is high quality and constructed with solid craftsmanship. I'm already requesting another quote for a landscaping project! Definitely hire these guys! They are awesome! read more

We had tree blow over in January storm. We were left with this stump in our front yard. Green Zone ground it up and cleared the yard. Very satisfied with their performance. Would recommend and hire again. read more

Luis, the owner, is a pleasure to work with - responsive, prompt, conscientious, knowledgeable and reliable. Highly recommend him and his crew. They did a yard cleanup, power washing, and exterior painting of my property. Almost didn't recognize the place it was done so well! read more

Overall, Luis is a competent landscaper, has a good heart, and tries his best to problem solve. We had a communication issue about the clean up work. My confusion. I believed that the price, $240, was for a total yard debris removal. I learned later that this price was only for a partial clean up, and that the remainder of the project would be finished in January, ' read more

Green Zone did a major cleanup of our yard that was long overdue. Really appreciate how easy it was to communicate via text with Luis. Pricing was fair. Job was well done. Thank you! read more

I've had so many less than stellar experiences lately with people I've hired that I felt a lot of hesitancy in hiring someone new to do our yardwork this year. Our usual amazing people weren't available, so we were forced to reach out. In my hunt, I came across Luis and the wonderful folks of Green Zone. I must say, I am super impressed by them. I requested a quote, and Luis came out within the next couple days. He was great and thorough and promised to get a quote over late the next day. The quote was right on time and very reasonable. The guys arrived right on time and got right to work, removing a couple small dead trees putting in edging and mulch around our lawn, inspecting our drip irrigation lines, and cleaning up our beds (which were on a steep incline). We had one complication with the work that we didn't think to tell them about ahead of time (my bad), but Luis explained everything and gave us options and put us in control, which we really appreciated. The guys were all kind and great. We've already asked about additional work and are excited to continue working with them! read more

They never showed up for a scheduled consultation. No phone call - nothing. This was after a few texts confirming the appointment. Totally unacceptable. read more

Green Zone put in my sod. My yard was a mess of weeds. They did an excellent job of transforming the mess into a beautiful green carpet using rye grass sod, as well as touching up very much needed maintenance. They followed up to make sure everything was growing and rolled out perfectly. It looks beautiful and I'm so happy. With their good work, I hired them for lawn maintenance. Thank you Green Zone for excellent work! read more

I needed a couple of 25' Japanese cedars removed as well as a couple of arborvitae stumps ground out. Luis came out that evening and looked over the project. Within 2 days I had what I felt was a very good quote and hired him to do the job. The first day he arrived he noticed the bags of yard debris I had stacked up by the side of the house and offered to haul them away at no extra cost! On the first visit he took down both trees. One was very close to the house and the other in a narrow space next to a fence and my neighbors RV. There was little room for error and both came down without incident. Day 2 all four stumps were ground up and the areas cleaned and raked flat. I am so happy I found Luis/The Green Zone. He is a hard worker, goes above and beyond and charges a fair price. I highly recommend him! read more

Luis and bus team did great work cleaning up our small yard. He charged a fair price and responded quickly to my initial request. I recommend him if you're in need of a yard clean up or ongoing maintenance. read more

Asked for a quote on a project. Got a response pretty quickly to come out to review the property and give an estimate to which we set an appointment. Luis never showed and stopped responding to messages. Would not recommend. read more

Our yard was a complete mess after a couple years of not raking leaves, trimming bushes, etc. Luis and his crew cleaned everything up and it looks like a brand new property!! Definitely recommend these guys for anyone who needs some yard work. read more

Luis was very responsive and did a good job repairing my irrigation system. I would recommend the Green Zone and will use them on future projects. read more

Luis is a man of his words. He initially came out to provide an estimate for the trimming of 5 x 35' trees at my home in Vancouver. He was extremely polite, professional and personable. The job started on a Friday, and after trimming one tree, he was very upfront when he mentioned that he didn't have the proper tools for the job and instead would wrap up the work on Sunday. Initially, I was a bit skeptical considering it took 4 of his guys one whole day to trim one tree and clean up the debris. Sunday came around, and his team was there early around 7:30am. In a matter of 2 hours, the remaining 4 trees were trimmed down to about 5 ft. It was super efficient and I was really excited; considering all the storms lately, I was really worried that the two trees in my backyard would either topple on my house or the neighbor's and that would have been disastrous! During the entire process, there was constant communication. Considering how busy his company is, at times it was really difficult to have him pick up my call (this can get frustrating!) so most of the communication was through text messages. Overall, I'd highly recommend Green Zone. They're a family owned business for close to 10 years and these guys work hard and the price is extremely reasonable. Hats off to Luis and his crew for getting the job done as promised! read more

No response after initial Contact ! Hello: I want to thank Louis For the fantastic job he did on out trees !! Excellent work polite , on time very pleasant to work with, I would recommend his service !!! Great job !! Thank you!! Yelp !! Keep Green Zone Busy ! read more

Green Zone was quick to respond and did a fast job and the yard looks fantastic! I highly recommend!!!

Had a great experience working with Luis and his team. He responded to my initial request immediately and came out within a day to give me an estimate. He was able to start work right away and got the job done super quick. I was impressed with how fast and thorough Luis and team were. The price was very fair and for the quality of work I would hire them again in an instant. Will definitely work with Green Zone again. Highly recommend! read more

I had a great experience with Luis from Green Zone. He was really friendly and responsive, came out for an estimate the same day I got in touch, and came back a few days later to do the work. He did great work and pricing was very competitive. Would definitely recommend him, and plan to use Green Zone again for future landscaping work. read more

He was on time and very responsive. His quote was very reasonable. The only downside is that our initial quote was changed due to the higher material cost. Overall, it was a good experience. read more
