Like others, we met Mark Greiner at the Home & Garden Show in 2022. (I came to Yelp today looking for his contact info to give someone, which is why I'm just doing this now.) I'm surprised to see these other reviews as they represent very different experiences than ours. He came out to our house and we explained what we wanted, which was basically to rip out what was in front of our house (various bushes and a concrete stoop) and put in a raised patio, Eddington wall, and a landscaped slope down to the front yard. Mark looked at the area and made notes, came back another time to present a full plan and price with options, and we were off and running. Everything was done in a timely manner and I felt the price was excellent -- very fair and lower than several other proposals. We weren't sure exactly what kind of plantings we wanted on the slope, so Mark made several suggestions and explained the whys and how it would look in the end. All the beds were mulched and it still looks great today. I'm sorry others didn't have the same experience, but I recommend Greiner often. read more

We met Mark Greiner at the Columbus Home & Garden show as we were looking for some changes to our landscaping. Very nice man. We scheduled a time for the second half of March for him to visit. He arrived, super nice and gave us a quote. We trusted him, again super nice guy, and gave him a $1000 deposit and a plan to schedule a time the second half of May to complete the job. THEN.... HE DISAPPEARED!!! We text him numerous times, called him and heard NOTHING!! He never contacted us to schedule that May date. Finally, after texts, an email and voice mail, which were more blunt, on May 19, he finally called. He told us he would call us back later that day..... and of course he didn't. By now, we had zero trust or confidence in him and asked for our money back, which he did do. Not once did he apologize. NOT ONE TIME! No explanation, no remorse. I have no idea how anyone can stay in business by treating people so poorly and disrespectfully. Now, as it's the end of May, we've pretty much lost the window to do landscape modifications for this year. Thanks Mark, I really appreciate it!! read more

I found this company at the Home and Garden Show and asked them to come give me a quote for work in my back yard. I am a gardener myself, but have had back issues so wanted someone to do the heavy work of bringing in top soil and making garden beds for me. Mark Greiner came out and suggested that he also add some trees and shrubs for me. He gave me an invoice that included extras such as 9 shrubs and 15 perennials as well as mulch. I had already told him that I wanted to add in native perennials on my own and my mulch was already on order through Ohio Mulch's deal that I got at the Garden show. I had to repeat this several times over the next few conversations and to tell him I just wanted the options we had talked about. After several more calls and texts as to when he could do the job, he finally called me back and said that they could come in May. A few more phone calls and emails were exchanged before I got a tentative date. I know that with the heavy rain we had in May that work was probably backed up, so I was ok with a tentative date. However, he then called the night before they intended to come out to say that he would meet me in the morning to start the work and discuss the job. Fine, except he was not flexible on the time he could meet, so I had to take 1.5 hours of personal leave to meet with him. He still was trying to plant perennials and lay mulch!! And he did not have hemlocks as requested so said he would install arborvitae - not what I wanted at all. Despite me telling him clearly that I am an organic gardener, he told me they would Round-Up all the weeds in the planting area. I told him I didn't want a known carcinogen in my yard. When I returned from work these are the issues I had: they had not watered in the plants that they did put in, the dogwood that they put in was substandard and needed pruning, the beds were edged unevenly and even came to a point in front of that poor Charlie Brown Dogwood, and he had not calculated the correct amount of soil needed to create the beds, leaving parts of the area to be made into flower beds bare. Now he is trying to charge me for edging and nearly $500 for the bedraggled dogwood. Lots of my friends were waiting to see if this company did a good job so they could hire him - Big Mistake Mark! read more

See all

Very Expensive. Well over retail rates even including the installation. I have to admit that I wish I had paid more attention to the plants he recommended because I found what he installed in at least half the cases, where of poor quality to not appropriate for what I wanted. In addition several of the plants died after one winter and after several contacts and proposals, still have not been replaced. Very difficult to contact after initial purchases. Disappointed in the quality of some of the plants and the overall cost. In the future I am just doing it myself. read more

Be warned! I called them to cut down a dead tree in my yard in early May. The owner told me that I would be fit in the schedule in the next couple weeks. The entire summer went by. In late August, I received a call from the owner telling me he sent an invoice for the removal. I questioned what was taking so long, and he said they cut the tree down months ago and he was just late with the invoice. Incredibly, the tree was STILL STANDING when we were having the conversation. (I wonder how he thought I wouldn't notice the dead tree still in my yard?) They finally came and cut the tree down in September after I negotiated a discount with him. But, when I was telling my fiance the story, he told me that years ago, this same company went way over budget on a project, billed him for work not done, and then sued him in small claims court. He went through the docket and this seems to be this company's practice. Bill people for work not done and when they dispute the charges - sue. Thank goodness I avoided the last part.
