Such a great experience with Great Outdoors for our hardscape fencing project! Our landscape designer Aron was extraordinarily thoughtful, creative, easy to work with…offering beautiful, low-maintenance designs with excellent privacy features, for a city property with aging towering maples that we wanted to protect. The landscaping crew of Luis and Erick were outstanding, touching base for any special instructions, meticulous about the challenging task of merging older and new materials to ensure a beautiful fence alignment, very thoughtful about not disturbing neighbors with the work or their vehicles, and the area was left very clean (with special care taken to ensure no nails were left behind in order to safeguard children/pets)…and the finished product was beautiful! The office staff were also very helpful with facilitating the project, very thoughtful about answering any questions or quickly connecting to someone who could. Very much looking forward to working with Great Outdoors to take care of our landscaping needs!!
We had a great experience working with the Great Outdoors on our project. They replaced an old patio and steps with beautiful stone and updated some plants to tie the landscaping in with a new deck. It’s gorgeous. The communication was clear and timing was as promised. Jaime and Eusebio did great work and were so kind. Highly recommend!
We are in Lodi Twp. We recently had stone steps leading up to our front door replaced by Great Outdoors. The job took two days and we are very happy with the results. The old steps were getting out of place and becoming unsafe. The team of Cesar, Jorge (and Alex on day one) did an excellent job of making this happen. Their team dynamic was awesome to watch. They made their hard work seem effortless. They were friendly and accommodating. Also a big shout out to Becca, Jewell, and Stephanie for coordinating all this. We would recommend Great Outdoors for your landscaping needs.
Great Outdoors did a great job on our deck replacement project. Luis and Erick Hernandez were fantastic, professional, very skilled, and took the time to make sure even the minor details were handled. When unexpected issues came up, they found creative ways to handle them. Our finished deck is absolutely gorgeous. I would definitely recommend them and Great Outdoors for any outdoor construction project.
Roberto and team 2 ate wonderful. I couldn't be happier with the work they performed cutting-in bed boarders, doing the fall cut-back of overgrown bedding plants, trimming my shrubs, and providing the grounds with a well -defined professional mulch look going into the off season. The detail and care was incredible and I should have been using them all along instead of waiting for the upkeep to overwhelm me (bad back).
Roberto and Francisco did a tremendous job in our backyard. In 2 days time, they cleared large areas of overgrowth, uprooting trees and killing weeds. They prepped the space, and added new seed and plants to bring it back to life. Thank you!
We loved our yard after working with Great Outdoors last year. That was Phase 1 and now that Phase 2 is done, we love it even more!!! It took Francisco and Alonso only 2 (long) days to clear, rototill, lay a stone barrier, layout and plant 100+ flowering specimens. Not to mention covering the plants with mulch, watering them and then, thoroughly cleaning the worksite. Francisco and Alonso were cheerful, helpful, respectful and easy to work with. We really appreciate their dedication to a good finished product. Thank you Great Outdoors! We look forward to working with you again. Cecy Ewing & Karen Baker
August 28, 2024 Where do I begin? Great Outdoors has come through for me for over 20 years at multiple properties! First, a huge thank you to Peyton and Angel for mowing and trimming my lawn and making it look beautiful before my son's graduation party! They were asked on short notice to assist me and came through brilliantly. More recently, I had the pleasure of working with Avery in sales who designed a new natural blue stone fire pit for my backyard! He is very professional, listened to my ideas along with taking into account the present landscaping, and offering his creative opinion. A shout out to the fantastic crew: Cesar, Alonso, Roberto, Bryan, and Jorge. They worked hard, were respectful, friendly, maintained the work area, and made my dream come true! I look forward to collaborating on future hardscape, landscaping, and lawn projects with Great Outdoors.
We are always love their lawn care services! Thank Jay R and Mike S just reseeded some area in our lawn! Spring will show the lovely green lawn!
Glen did a great job with weeds and fertilizing for us this year!
Daniel and Demetrio(crew #2) did a great job all season - mowing, edging, and clearing the patio and walkways after mowing. Very satisfied with their work each week.
Courtney and Haley did an amazing fall clean-up of my many perennials! They checked with me before and after to make sure they were doing what I wanted. They saved me so much time! Thank you, ladies!
Ana and Savanah began fall cleanup and left our flower beds and yard margins clean and ready for winter. Great job!!!!
Amber has been doing our Plant Health for a number of years. She is very knowledgeable, professional and does an excellent job every year. Our plants are also very happy! Positive

This company has high quality work !!
Jesus, Cortnee, and Haley did a trimming job for us late last month. They did an excellent job on some rather large and challenging shrubs. We were very happy with their results.
Great group of guys, let them handle all your landscaping needs.
Angel always does a great job. He s very thorough.
I had Great Outdoors come back to do a large project. Cesar and his team were wonderful. Very efficient and the work looks exactly as I expected. I will definitely use Great Outdoors again for future needs.
Cesar, Alonzo & Jorge did great work leveling our pavers that had bulged due to tree roots.
We received a notice from the city and we are grateful to call Great Outdoors! They came right away, gave us a reasonable quote, and completed the work on a very short notice. We are very happy with the results. Reece and Alex did an excellent job! I 100% recommend them!!!
Daniel and Demetrio did a fantastic job all season taking care of our lawn. We couldn t be happier!
Thank you to Daniel and Demetris from crew #2 who consistently do an excellent job and are always friendly when working in the area!
Daniel and Demetrio have done a nice job of caring for our lawn this season! They provided punctual weekly manicures, did an excellent job of edging and were always considerate when we were around! Thank you!
Devin continues to do a great job with our lawn care! I appreciate that Great Outdoors is able to provide continuity of service with him!
Very happy with Daniel and Demetrio this season. They were very conscientious and our lawn always looked great! Would recommend.
Luke took care of our lawn today and did a great job. It looks great. Thank you Luke.
Amber, Savannah, and Jesus transformed my garden beds! They hadnt been weeded in well over a year. Now the front of our house looks as nice as it did when we first moved in 2 years ago. We were also dealing with invasive black locust and they got rid of them. Amber really knows all about horticulture and trees. I learned so much from her! I look forward to Great Outdoors continuing to care for all of my landscaping needs.
Francisco and Roberto set the bar very high. The attention to detail, efficiency, workmanship and care they put into projects around our community was truly outstanding. -Steven from Harbor Cove
Our experience with Great Outdoors is fantastic! Avery is responsive and really listened to what I wanted and gave me good advice. The quote was definitely not the cheapest we got but Avery was able to write up a detailed plan that made me feel comfortable moving forward with them. I had to add a couple of things to the job and Avery was able to respond to my requests. When job started, I am very impressed by the work ethic of Jaime and Eusebio! They are the total rock stars!!! Jaime and Eusebio showed up everyday and knew exactly what they needed to do and built a beautiful patio for me. They are punctual, kind, nice, and professional throughout the process and clearly took pride in their work. Our neighbours kept telling us how impressed they are with GO s work and especially with the professionalism of Jaime and Eusebio. While we still have other jobs on the list waiting to be completed by Great Outdoors, my husband and I are already thinking about our next projects with them! p.s. will come back to post photos when the grass have grown back :p
We had a patio and front walk replaced. Caesars team was a pleasure to work with. They worked 8am-7pm every day and were careful with the yard, plants etc, always asked us for input as they went, and made adjustments and corrections when asked. The patio and walk look amazing; were so happy with the colors, design, and execution.
We are so pleased with the landscape design done by Avery with the careful selection of the scrubs and the beautiful landscape completed by Jaime, Roberto, Eusebio and Fernando with Great Outdoors. They all worked diligently through really hot weather and worked long hours to complete the work. We re so pleased with the end results and we would highly recommend Great Outdoors!!
We d like to thank Cesar and Alfredo who stopped their mowing to help us pull a stump. They always do a great job with our lawn as well.
I got their landscaping service a few days ago. Fernando and Glen did their best, even though I wasnt at my place during their work. My family is so satisfied by their job.
Great Outdoors always does an outstanding job every step of the process. I recently had some work done and the crew working outside, including Fernando and Alonso worked very efficiently. They did a great job and cleaned up the area nicely. Very easy company to do business with.
Cesar, Jorge, & Roberto created a beautiful outdoor living space for our family! We are thrilled to have such a beautiful patio and front entry with native plant gardens. Their work was of high-quality, seeking absolute perfection. They were meticulous about the work and work site, and asked us for feedback just with the right frequency. We are so glad to have worked with The Great Outdoors on this project.
Cesar and Alfredo do a great job mowing my lawn every week.
Horticulture #2 team did a great job weeding and working to save my peach tree.... Cortnee,, Haley ad Savanah are great!
Last summer, we went with Great Outdoors for our patio, bed prep and the planting of a few trees. It was a pretty miserable experience with a lot of missteps and sloppy work along the way. Among other issues, the bed prep was woefully inadequate and now, this spring, other landscaping companies are telling us they can t plant in our yard due to the poorly done bed prep (Great Outdoors gave us significantly less than the expected six inches of bed prep). As a result, when my wife planted just a few tulips and daffodils late last summer, we had to dig out a bunch of the clay (see photo) and add in our own soil. After hearing from multiple landscaping companies early this spring about how screwed we were, we asked Great Outdoors to come out and take a look with us. The Great Outdoors owner acknowledged that there wasn t enough soil and asked to confer with his employees who were directly involved in the work last summer. After discussing it with them, he offered to drop off some soil for us. We replied that this would still leave us with the cost of removing the mulch, adding in the new soil, and tilling it in, all of which were supposed to be part of the original bed prep; we didn t think it would be fair for us to eat the thousands of dollars of correcting their job that wasn t done properly. We haven t heard back from the owner since then. I d advise people to stay away from Great Outdoors. Plenty of people in town have had far better experiences with other local landscaping companies.
We hired Great Outdoors when our yard really, really needed to be mowed. I was sure the city was going to fine us at any moment. The grass was probably over two feet in places. Demetrio and Daniel were so thorough--they mowed, edged, weed whacked, and even collected all of the clippings. Our yard has never looked better and neighbors have been commenting on it all week! Within a few hours they took us from worst yard in the neighborhood to one of the best!
Jeremy with Great Outdoors keeps our yard looking like one of the nicest in the neighborhood. He does a terrific job of mowing, trimming and cleaning up. He is friendly, polite and dependable and takes a real professional interest in his job. He doesn t cut the lawn too short and uses a push mower when there are super wet areas. We can t ask for more with our lawn care and his great service. Really appreciate the work done by Jeremy and Great Outdoors!
I recently had significant landscaping and tree service work done by Great Outdoors. The crew under the leadership of Francisco Evsebrio and Jaime Damatrio arrived at 8 am and continued working until after 6 pm until the work was completed. They completely replanted a rock garden which had deteriorated across time, repaired some damaged decorative trees and replaced another. I am very pleased with the transformation of my worn, older landscaping. The crew was efficient, professional. This spring Great Outdoors continues to care for last years updated landscaping beds in a professional, effective way. I feel comfortable that Great Outdoors will care for my property and it s plant life.
Cortney, Haley, and Savanah were wonderful. They were polite, professional, hardworking, and did an amazing job trimming/weeding the large amount of plants and trees around our property. They also thoroughly cleaned up afterward, which was very important to us. Great Outdoors crews have always met and/or exceeded our expectations. We are happy to be loyal customers!
My experience with Great Outdoors has been very good. In fact this is the second time I ve used them. Working with their landscaper, Becca, and her ideas for improving our backyard was a great help. The landscape crew, Francisco and Alanso, were hard workers and knew how to get the job done. They were on time, always ready to listen to my concerns and suggestions, and explained what they were doing and answered my question. The backyard is finished and I could not be happier with the results.
Francisco and Alonso did a great job! They went out of their way to carefully and thoughtfully renovate bluestone walkways and patio and also expertly placed and planted a new tree. We would definitely employ them again!
Today, Spencer and Jesus made my yard look the best it has ever looked with outstanding pruning and artistic shaping of bushes. I am very grateful to them and to all of the many people who help me. Laura Nitzberg Today, May 20, Cortnee,Haley and Savannah came to my house and did an excellent job removing dangerous plants and annoying weeds and making my yard beautiful. They also were kind to bring my pots for annuals out of garage to deck. Thank you! Today, May 22, Jay mowed my lawns and did A wonderful job and in addition he provided a great act of kindness by placing my outdoor umbrella into the table as I couldn t do it. He was gracious and very helpful. Thank you Jay Today, June 14, Michael, who is in charge of lawns, provided me with a very huge favor, For which I am very grateful. I had three new viburnum bushes planted which need watering, given the excessive heat prediction. I needed assistance setting up the hose and watering system. Michael was so helpful and set up everything for me as I am not able to manage that. Now, my new bushes should thrive thanks to Michael who went out of his way for me. He is wonderful!!! Laura Nitzberg
Our experience with the Great Outdoors team, led by Mason and including Reese, Henry and Jorge was five star. All the guys were responsive to our changes in plans as they went along. Mason answered all our questions, was extremely courteous and seemed to lead a team working well together. Reese showed us tips on watering which was much appreciated. We have a lovely yard and appreciate all the hard work. It was a pleasure having them on our property. Good luck Mason and the rest of the team. We highly recommend these guys as well as Avery who helped us plan our lovely garden.
We had Mason and Reece install a French Drain system for us, and the project was seamless. Both were very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. Im pretty handy and thought about doing the project myself, but Im glad I didnt, as I would have certainly cut through a few irrigation and communication lines.
Great care for our home and lawn. Appreciate the attention to detail!
Mason and Reece provided excellent workmanship, always courteous and making certain we, as homeowners, were satisfied at each step of our landscaping project. They, together with the project manager, were very skillful in the process of placing rather large boulders artistically into the landscape. They were also quite accomplished in repairing paver steps, rebuilding a rock barrier and finishing the project with plantings and mulch.
They do an excellent job and have the best customer service
Best landscaper in Ann Arbor! Alonzo, Francisco and Reid were way above expectations. And I ve used plenty of others over the past 45 years. Great support from office staff and Avery most helpful in developing the projects.
Francisco has worked at my house a number of times and I have always been impressed with his friendliness and the quality of his work. He even came by after hours to make sure a transplant was done properly!
I just contracted with Great Outdoors for lawn maintenance and trimming. Jay (crew #6) came today for the first time, and we went around the yard to talk about what I wanted. He was polite and attentive. Things were a little scraggly, and he was here for a while doing the work. But when hed finished, I had to go out to tell him that that the yard looked spectacular--exactly what Id wanted, and better than Id expected. I highly recommend Great Outdoors and this crew.
Francisco, Kameron, and Alonso did an outstanding job with getting our mulch in. Great work and great cleanup!
Great work reliable for over 15 years.
We just started using Great Outdoors and have been really impressed by the quality of the service and the time they take cutting the grass and trimming. Cesar Mendez has been absolutely fantastic.
We are very happy with our yard care by great outdoors!! Their crews are professional, polite, and do a great job. I highly recommend!
Cortnee, Haley, and Savanah did a wonderful job with my yard. They were very organized and meticulous. They really care about their work and their customers. I recommend them highly.
I have 2 large and one medium flower beds, with bushes, flowers, mulch and dirt. And lots of weeds! GO came yesterday and did a fantastic job. I am VERY pleased. Well done, folks!!
Employees like Glen are why we are a continued customer. Thank you again for the excellent service. Happy summer, and God Bless!
Good job!! Work with them!!! They do an excellent job!!
Devin, Amber and the others at Great Outdoors have been doing a fantastic job at our Ann Arbor property. Amber is amazingly knowledgeable in horticulture and Devin s mowing and other lawn care is very detail oriented and thorough. We love Devon s all ELECTRIC mowing equipment, even the truck is electric, so quiet too. I sincerely hope that they will be converting to more electric mowing teams soon!
Mollie and Cortnee did a great job giving our yard a much needed cleaning and refresh! They were incredibly knowledgeable and and taught us so much about what is growing in our yard! We had an overgrown area that they got under control quickly and according to our budget. They followed every direction and gave me really helpful information so I could make decisions about what to clear and what to keep. They took the time to show me where there was some poison ivy growing and gave me tips to identify it. Friendly, professional, and talented! Following up to say we booked a spring cleaning and Spenser L and the team did such a great job! I set a time limit for the project to keep to our budget. They got twice as much done as I expected and I was really impressed. They were very attentive to directions and left my yard looking great!
Ive been a Great Outdoors customer for more than 15 years and theyve consistent done a great job on my landscaping projects, lawn care, snow removal! Cesar just showed up in the middle of a bad snow storm and took extra care to clear my driveway and sidewalk with a cheerful smile and a wave. Highly recommend them for all of your lawncare needs!
During a snow storm, Erwin (crew #150) was driving by as my car was stuck. He helped by plowing my way back home. I was able to get home safely in the snow. He was very kind and considerate. I would definitely recommend Great Outdoors as they are willing to help without hesitation.
Terrific, thorough and timely job plowing and shoveling snow from a large driveway and walk!
Mollie did an outstanding job at cleaning my flower beds. Big shout out to her and her co- worker. I love when people take pride in what they do!
Brandon is very friendly and a hard worker. I would recommend letting them do your lawn. Positive
A really great business. Easy to work with, professional, great work. Highly recommend
We needed our yard leveled and reseeded, as well as several bushes pulled and new one planted. Isaac and Reese were personable, professional and responsive!

Fantastic job at our office complex! Marked improvement from the last landscaping company! Thank you!
Mason and Irwin crushed the job. Hard working, went out of their way and made sure I was fully satisfied before moving on to the next thing. Highly recommend.
The mowing crew is on point! Our lawn at the Washtenaw Alano Club looks outstanding !!!Plus their electric mowers are so quiet and eco friendly it s fantastic! Very happy with the service and the pricing for service is very reasonable. All around happy customer!
Just had the Great Outdoors crew here -- Cesar, Jacob, and Miles -- to do a huge amount of weeding and to refresh the cedar mulch around our pines and landscaped spaces. We couldnt be more pleased! The crew did what we thought would be an all-day job in just three hours! They were professional and friendly. They paid attention to details. The crew leader Cesar rang tour door bell at the end of the job, to make sure everything was done to our satisfaction. It was! Hope to see them again!
Brandon and the crew always do a fine and efficient job every time they come through our property. Im in an apartment complex at 9303 Main st in Whitmore Lake and the place always looks perfect when theyre done. Plus he always has a moment to say hello. Highly recommended.
Highly recommend using Great Outdoors! Avery has always been great to work with when designing our landscaping. He s knowledgeable and helps take the guess work out of what plants to choose specifically for our space. Mason and Alex G were a pleasure to work with and did an incredible job installing our new front garden, various plants and mulching all our garden space. We are very happy with the results!
Cesar and his team did a superb job mowing our giant lawn! What would have taken us over 4 hours to do took them only a couple hours and looks amazing! Very polite, even mowed areas they did not have to. Beautiful work! Thank you so much!!!
I highly recommend Great Outdoors! Demetria, Cesar, Luke and Jesus did a beautiful job on my home. They worked hard and were very polite and interested in doing the job the way I wanted. Thank you!!
I want to commend Jeremy for his excellent work in mowing our lawn. We discussed length of cut, excess grass clippings in lawn, edging. He was able to accommodate everyone of our requests. He acts like this is his own lawn. Thanks Jeremy!
We previously had some landscaping work done by Great Outdoors. One of the trees planted didn t survive. The Great Outdoors were responsive and replaced the tree with another variety. Alex and his team were awesome!
Howard, Evan, Mason, Wolverine, and one other gentleman did a great job on my property. Grass is looking great and they were extremely diligent in following up to address any issues.
Great Outdoors has been my lawn device provider for many years. I highly recommend.
Great Outdoors did a Great job. Men were considerate and efficient. Positive
Very responsive, courteous and knowledgeable about my pest-infested snowball bush. I would definitely call them back again!
Erwin and Alex did a fantastic job! Everything looks great and Avery s vision for our property is exactly what we were hoping for. We will definitely keep working with Great Outdoors.
Isaac and Reece did an excellent job re-building our retaining wall! They were professional, courteous, punctual and did a wonderful job! They explained the process to us, what needed to be done to correct our original problem, and gave us a beautiful finished product. They stated that their goal was to make sure that I was happy, and they succeeded! I am extremely pleased and would highly recommend their services!
Great job. Crew was outstanding!
The people who work there are very kind and considerate and competent. Today, Devon and Spencer went beyond the call of duty bringing my flower pots from garage to deck and driveway. Thank you! Laura Today Jeremy came and mowed and did a great job. Last week Lucas and Evan planted three bushes and set up hoses. Thank you all Today, July 25, Spencer, Matthew and Daniel came to weed and tackle some other important projects (moving a sculpture and cutting down some unwanted plants) . They did a wonderful job and were so courteous and knowledgeable. Thank you!
We had them remove some dead shrubs and a bunch of old rubber mulch with remulching and replanting of several things. The crew (Wolverine, Evan and Alex) was very kind and professional, open to feedback and on time. We will definitely consider them for our future landscaping needs!
Love the work so professional will recommend you guys to everyone my sod installation looks awesome Thanks crew leader Wolverine , Mason, Alex
Id like to thank you very much for the service you provided this week. Our lawn was overgrown. We were having a hard time with the chore due to a recent health issue. I didnt think I could get service this late in the season, but you fit us in. Your work crew deserves a top level bonus for dealing with my overgrown lawn. Thank you so much!!!
Im really pleased with the work that Great Outdoors has done for us! Devin not only takes his time with our oddly shaped lawns, but he also makes sure to leave the entire property looking neat and clean with the trimmer and leaf blower. This has been especially appreciated over the last couple of weeks as the recent storms have brought down quite a bit of debris.
Shout out to Luke (crew #4) who mowed lawn Monday. He also took a few extra minutes to explain the value of completing this review. I owe a prior shout out & thank you to Miles (crew #22) who also trimmed front & back yard when he mowed lawn. Both young men were courteous, kind & patient - much appreciated. Great Outdoors remains consistent & responsive; I have been a customer for 20 years and recommend them highly.
Always knowledgeble and engaged with providing and implementing solutions.
Luke and crew number 4 did the best service this season for my property. I was impressed with the quality of his work. I am really hoping that he do our property for the rest of the season. Awesome job
Amber G completed the contracted applications to our lawn today. I can see the improvement these treatments have made compared to last year. Excellent work.
We switched to Great Outdoors last season and we have been very pleased. Especially with our crew #6 and in particular Jeremy. Jeremy is courteous and very conscientious. He is the type of person I would hire for my business. I would easily recommend to other for home landscaping and lawn care needs.
Isaac and Reece did a great job on several projects on our property over the last two weeks
We had a dozen trees taken out and hired Great Outdoors to do our lawn restoration. Erwin and Isaac did a great job on day 1 tilling the soil and removing all the tree roots. On day 2 Javier and Jorge spent a lot of time spreading soil, grading and seeding. Two weeks later and the new lawn is coming in nicely. Looks great.
Mollie & Max do a great job!!!
Luke has done an excellent job with our lawn care. The cutting, trimming and edging were all done nicely. He even brought in our trash and recycling bins one day! We would recommend Luke and the Great Outdoors for lawn care needs.
Great Outdoors has provided exceptional service maintaining our gardens this year. Thank you to Spensers horticulture crew for outstanding, detailed work this fall and to Mollies team for top-notch service earlier this year. I also want to thank Avery and Rebecca for their responsiveness. Service of this caliber is not easy to come by, and I greatly appreciate everyones hard work, professionalism, and dedication.
We have been very pleased working with Jeremy and his crew for lawn care. They have worked with us kindly to address some issues and we have been very happy with the quality and responsiveness to make sure we are satisfied. We have hired them for a large landscaping project as well, and Avery has been very supportive and professional.
Great Outdoors recently revamped my landscaping. The team was extremely professional and the final product looks great. I highly recommend them for your needs. Thank You!!!
Great outdoors recently renovated my entire front-yard landscaping and did a wonderful job. Javier & Reece were thorough, hard-working, and polite through the whole process. It was a pretty big project too that they were able to get done in 1 day only. Additionally, the overall price of the project was half than other quotes I received from other A2 based landscapers, and the quality is way better than what the others were proposing. The staff at Great Outdoors is super easy to work with, polite, and responsive, which is all you can ask for when working on these big projects. I highly highly recommend Great Outdoors on any of your landscaping needs.
Jaime and Mason did an amazing job on a project for us they were very hard working, paid great attention to detail and were very polite and professional. I would hire them again and recommend them very highly to others.
Javier and his team did a *beautiful* job on our landscaping giving it a much needed restructuring. It looks wonderful now and gives us plenty of options in the Spring to add to their great work. Thank you to Great Outdoors for your excellent work.
George is super friendly! Team did a beam install on my house. He did a great job. Also offers great patio pricing! I found his pricing to be VERY fair.
We just recently had an incredible amount of snow and Great Outdoors did a GREAT job of keeping our driveway clean! The icing on the cake had to be the cheerful demeanor that Amber Garrison contributed. Her personal touch to accommodate nuances that are unique to our driveway really made the difference. Great people are what make the Great Outdoors different.
Excellent Service!
Were super happy with Great Outdoors. Theyre great people and they do great work. Highly recommend.
The Great Outdoors team put in a new brick paver patio and walkway at our home. The patio and walkway looks amazing, and the crew that that worked on it were excellent! Thank you Jaime, Eusebio, Javier, Demetrio and Erwin for giving us an awesome patio and walkway!
Justin & crew#2 excellent job!
Devin Murray has been mowing our lawn for the past few months. He s amazing and very respectful. Our lawn looks great thanks to him and the rest of the crew that have been out here. Shout out to Alex and Lucas as well for the landscape maintenance!
Great Outdoors provided lawn mowing and weeding at my home this past summer. The crew were professional, hard-working and got the job done well. Link is especially a super-star. He goes above and beyond! Rebecca in the office is another super-star. She handled my quote and other small requests with ease and professionalism. Overall, very happy with their services and will seek to retain them again for next year.
Great Outdoors recently did some work to help with yard drainage and create a beautiful outdoor space for us in the process. Javier and crew were awesome - friendly, professional and hard working. Even after a LONG day on the job, they took the time to clean up, going above and beyond to leave our property looking great. Also, Avery at the office was incredibly responsive and kept us informed throughout the process. We havent had a heavy rain since the work was done, and Im anxious to see how the drainage solution works. A prior contractor did very sloppy work that left me in a worse place than when I started. That is clearly not how Great Outdoors works. Highly recommend!
Great Outdoors was absolutely awesome. Cesar was our crew lead and did an amazing job.
Mason, Reece, Javier, and Lucas did a fantastic job clearing out old foliage, installing new design content around three sides of our house, and installing a couple stone landings off our deck. Our designer Avery listened to us and provided guidance on content, in line with the look we desired, and he followed up later to make adjustments on one landing for us, to adjust for settling and prevent a trip hazard.
We worked with Aaron on the design and site management; and Jaime Eusebio and his brother did a beautiful install of a Bluestone Walkway, lighting and Beds with edging. The work they did was superb and exceeded our expectations. They were on time, worked long days and took alot of pride in how it looked. Site was cleaned up daily and was kept tidy during the whole process. Would hire them again without hesitation.
Javier and Reece removed 2 stumps for me. They were prompt, efficiently dug out the stumps, and left both beds cleaned up. They were professional, answered all of my questions, and were courteous & friendly. Thanks for the great job, Javier and Reece!
Mike was a pleasure to work with and truly helped make my design vision for our backyard space become a reality. The crew was exceptionally hard-working, paid attention to detail, did great work, and cleaned up at the end of each day. I highly recommend the Great Outdoors.
Great Outdoors did an excellent job with planting trees, plants and stones around the house. It really looks so beautiful. Thank you so much Javier and all the Team for your services! Much appreciated.
pleasant staff and the work we done was very high end. More affordable than competitors
Great Outdoors installed a permeable paver patio for us, and they also shaped and mulched the border gardens along our fence line. We have worked with a lot of contractors the last few years, and this was one of the best experiences weve had - no micro-managing the install, and the final product is impeccable! They also did a great job with clean-up afterward. Jake was our crew leader, and he and his crew were very professional. I had a couple questions while the work was in progress. Jake took time to walk me through everything. He was very detail-oriented, and it was clear he cared about the quality of the install as well as our satisfaction. Including a before picture and two afters. Cant believe this is the same yard, and Im so excited to spend our summer out here!
Great Experience! Between weather, Covid, and staffing, it took some time to actually schedule the work. But once it did happen, it went smoothly and efficiently, with brilliant results. Mike did great working up front with us, and Jake did the work with speed, skill, and made it look beautiful. Kudos to all, especially to Jake - he loves his job, and it shows in his work. A pleasure to work them all.
I switched my lawn service to Great Outdoors this year and all my expectations have been surpassed. Brandon has done an outstanding job cutting my lawn. He is so courteous and professional and always receptive to any requests. When he didnt know to cut the grass between the driveway of me and my neighbor, he returned early the next day after my call to cut it. He apologized to me personally even though I had forgotten to instruct him to cut that area. Very impressed with the professional and customer service approach of Great Outdoors! I highly recommend them.
We had an extensive project at a home we moved into last fall and Avery was professional and responsive throughout the entire process. Cesar Sanchez worked incredibly hard to finish the work without delay, even with days of unexpected rain! The finished landscape and flagstone patio are beautiful and have surpassed our expectations. We re now working with Avery to install an outdoor fireplace later this summer/fall and can t wait!
On behalf of Harbor Cove Apartments I would like to extend my gratitude for the years of service we have had the pleasure of! I highly recommend The Great Outdoors for all of your property needs. Their staff in particular Demetrio, Luke and Sergi are always here as expected and it is obvious that they take pride in their work by the looks of our grounds! They are always friendly and courteous to us and our residents. Thank you Great Outdoors!
Cesar does an awesome job every week. Timely, and professional
Great Outdoors can always be relied on to provide exceptional landscape services from start to finish. Mike gives thorough and detailed estimates, and the crew is highly professional, and detail oriented. The Crew Leader, Jake Cullen, was polite (as was the rest of the crew), explained the whole process as they went, and addressed any questions/concerns I had. I m so happy with how my project turned out! Highly recommend Great Outdoors for your landscape projects.
Great company with a lot of experience
I did not have a good experience with this company. Not great customer service and much more focused on their bottom line.
We had a great experience installing a stone walkway and stairs! When Mike came out to quote the job, he took time to listen to what we wanted for the space, and offer us suggestions that incorporated what we wanted. When Jake and his crew came out to build it, they were professional and efficient! They kept us informed every step of the way and even transplanted some ground cover plants we had planned to move after the walkway was completed. It looks even better than we had imagined it could! Thank you!
Great Outdoors has kept our lawn and landscape looking great. They have a friendly staff that gets the job done. I am very happy.
Jake Cullen and his team came out to do a last minute late season project and as usual did a wonderful job! We have worked with Great Outdoors on landscaping projects since we moved into our home 20+ years ago and I highly recommend them.
Avery, Cesar and their team did an excellent job rebuilding and extending the Michigan rock retention walls adjacent to the driveway. They worked skillfully and diligently to get all the details right to meet and exceed our expectations , both in hardscape appearance and function, giving us the confidence that the walls will stand for many years to come. Much appreciated!
They are a great place, get workers and great people,
Weve been with Great Outdoors for a few years now and we couldnt be happier. Other companies weve been with havent come close to the Great Outdoors level of professionalism. The office staff are great and Randy (Crew #5) cuts our lawn beautifully. Their attention to detail is top notch. Randy even fixed a hole in my fence the other day so my dog wouldnt escape. I guarantee you wont get that type of service from other companies.
Stephen (crew #2) does a fantastic time every time they come out to our house. Always very professional and they always leave the lawn looking spectacular. They even edge and blow off our driveways! Thank you!
Arturo, crew #3, is professional, thorough, and a good communicator when we need some adjustment. I always feel we look great after he has been here.
Arturo (crew #3) does a great job mowing our lawn. He even blows the driveway and the edges. With it being fall right now, there is a lot of leaves on the ground and Arturo patiently mows over them leaving the lawn looking clean and green. Great job and thank you!!
Arturo has kept our yard looking great. He is meticulous at mowing, trimming edges and leaving walkway, patio and driveway clean. He is always friendly. We are very grateful for his good service.
Jorge from Crew #1 took care of cutting our lawn. He was very professional and responded to requests with good follow through.
Our experience with Great Outdoors is that they do a great job of standard lawns, and likewise know how to resurrect lawns that are ailing. Dan (#4) didnt miss a beat, was always on time, and gave ample attention to our lawn in general and the parts of it that needed it most. It couldnt have been easy to mow along the sides of our house which are at a steep angle, but he did an admirable job of it.
Weve been using this company for three years with no plans to stop. Our yard looks great, the mowing is perfect but the edging really makes everything else sing. Yesterday in particular leaf collection coincided with lawn service and I was very proud to have such a lovely lawn on our block. Stephen and crew 2 are the best!
Arturo always has a smile and wave for me. He and his crew (#3) do a great job keeping our yard looking good all summer long. Its been five years already and we arent looking anywhere else!
Randy and Crew #5 are great. They are professionally and consistently doing beautiful jobs with our lawn. In addition to nice cut all over, they are paying special attention to the areas that need special care, such as low wet spots. They clean the sidewalk and driveway very well too. We have contracted with Great Outdoors for many years with no plan to change.
Great job, Cesar, cutting our lawn today and making it look great around the edges. Thank you.
We have used Landscaping/Lawn Services for many years. When moving to our new home, discovered Great Outdoors. Great Outdoors has proven to be the most consistent, outstanding service we have ever used. Brett Knight takes personal pride in his job, and goes out of his way to please his customers. When Brett leaves, it is very clear, that professionals have done an outstanding job. Brett is thoughtful, considerate, and very thorough. Love this company!! I am not a family friend or member, just a very happy consumer! Mary Lou Williams
Always impressed by how professional and consistent the work completed by Anna and Cydnee is.
Cydnee and Annas lines look great, they do a good job
Arturo and Luke come each week to cut our grass and generally clean up the surroundings. I appreciate their work--especially that they blow the detritus off of the porches.
We had just an incredible experience with Mike and his team at Great Outdoors constructing our outdoor kitchen and patio. Mike did a fantastic job working with us with the design layout. He displayed incredible patience with our multiple iterations. He was always cognizant of costs and offered great suggestions that were cost sensitive.. After the design was complete, the team led by Daniel were thorough in their efforts - true craftsmen. Jamie, Mario, Eusebio all were excellent contributors, working through difficult weather conditions of rain and extreme heat. The finished product was outstanding. We had two separate outside companies (sprinkler company and outdoor furniture delivery) both comment on how the patio quality was the best they had seen. Thanks Great Outdoors!
Brett and crew 145 did a great job in this last snowstorm we had, plowing our drive multiple times and sometimes very late at night or before dawn. Their summertime lawn crew does a fantastic job, too.
Brett has done a great job this winter season. Very reliable and consistent.
Brett and crew always show up on time, and they do a beautiful job. This is for our business so efficiency and timing are very important. This crew is very speedy.
I have been using Great Outdoors since I moved to the Polo Fields subdivision in Ann Arbor in 2001 and am using them at our new home in Whitmore Lake. They quality of their work is fantastic!! Their pricing is also fair because they get the job done quickly in a quality manner and the people who do the work are very nice to deal with and are very polite. Jaime H. Montalvo and Eusebio Agosto just finished a deck behind my pole barn using pavers I already had. They did a fantastic quality job, are very nice to work with and have a great sense of humor. I highly recommend you use Great Outdoors for any work you need done. 9-11-18 Jaime H. Montalvo headed a team who did fantastic work for me today. Never would hire anyone else they do such a great job and are very nice people
Mike Seever did a great job on core and liquid aeration.
Thanks Arturo and crew 3 for always taking care of me and all the years of reliability and hard work. I never have to worry about my yard being taken care of.
Great Outdoors has provided us with very good lawn service for several years. This past year, they upped their game even further with simply outstanding work by Cydnee and Crew #5 -- spot on week-to-week with great care shown for our property. Thanks!
Mike was so great...he spent alot of time (and 29 emails!) helping me design a garden wall. Then his team did a marvelous job building it. They even raked my leaves when they were done! I couldnt have asked for a better outcome or a better experience. I proudly give the Great Outdoors name to anyone who comments on my garden wall.
Great Outdoors does a great job of keeping my driveway clear of snow even when we have over 14 inches! They even go the extra mile to come back again to clear away all the road snow that the street plow shoves into my driveway. I really appreciate their prompt and efficient service and their polite and professional approach to serving their customers.
I used them for my lawn maintenance for roughly two years. We recently had to part ways because the owner employs peeping toms. We have had a few issues in the past that never came to much, but I should have known a year ago to stop using them. They mowed/weed whacked some young flowers down and also have knocked down a small garden ornament. Most recently, I called to complain about the person who mowed my lawn a couple days ago. I actually walked up onto my deck and started looking in my window wall. I did not see him look, but my two children did. I did see him walking off of my deck though. I came in the house and my kids were FREAKED OUT about him looking in the window. I called them and was told that the lady who answers the phone was waiting to hear from the crew supervisor about my complaint. When she finally called me back, she tried to tell me that the person doing my lawn care wasnt looking in my window, but was actually just going slow because he was trying not to cover my neighbors in grass. My response was that isnt true, because my neighbors are on the NORTH side of my house and the side with my deck is on the SOUTH side. I then asked for that crew not to come back to my home and was told that I am not allowed to make such a request. It was suggested that I speak to the owner. I called back and was told that we were hearing about discussions that other people had. I did agree to that and explained about my kids seeing him look in the window and also me seeing him leaving his deck. So to make a long story short, the crew supervisor that they called WAS NOT ACTUALLY AT MY HOUSE. I cant express enough how horrible this experience was. PLEASE do not hire them. I believe I may be the first person to complain about basic lawn maintenance, but I have been viewing plenty of poor reviews about their snow removal and complex lawn care.
I requested and received a snow plowing and salt quote for this season. I chose to go with another company because it was slightly cheaper. This morning when I arrived at my business it had not yet been plowed. My store was opening in ten minutes and I wanted to make sure my customers would have a clear path. My plow guy said he wouldnt be able to come for another hour and a half! That was an unacceptable answer. I searched through the quotes I had received and chose to call Great Outdoors. Mike answered right away (6:45 AM) and told me someone would be able to come out and plow in fifteen minutes. Not only did they come and plow that quickly but they were very thorough and courteous. I would highly recommend this company.
