The team was great. On time. On budget. Beautiful work. Now our dogs have a beautiful new lawn to play on instead of the pea gravel we had before.

Can’t go wrong using Peter from the Vermont green mountains to improve your piece of Mother Earth. I’ve used Pete and his very competent crew to do 3-4 projects in my yard the past few years. Already got a few more projects in mind. If you want aesthetics, quality and prompt attention the Green Mt crew is your team

Thank you for that Will. It's been fun working with you and looking forward to more hardscaping projects to come.
stuart wright3 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews stuart has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Peter and his team did a fantastic job restoring my side yard to lawn. Years ago, I covered the area with crushed aggregate, but over time weeds took over and eventually started spreading into the lawn. I contacted Green Mountain Outdoor Living, and they scheduled an on-site estimate the very next day. The project was then completed the following week. The boys did an outstanding job, both in the quality of their work and the speed with which they completed it. What's more impressive is that they accomplished everything on one of the hottest days of late July. They were professional, hardworking, friendly, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. The whole experience was smooth and hassle-free. I highly Green Mountain Outdoor Living anyone looking for reliable, high-quality landscaping work. In the attached photos, the first two show the yard before the project, and the last three show the results at the end of the day.

I am incredibly happy with the yard xeriscape job done by Green Mountain Outdoor Living! Peter and his team were absolutely fantastic from start to finish.
The entire process was seamless. The team was professional, kind, and incredibly hardworking, paying close attention to every detail to ensure the design turned out beautifully.
If you are looking to transform your outdoor space with a company that delivers top-tier quality and exceptional customer service, I cannot recommend Peter and Green Mountain Outdoor Living enough.
Zach, thank you so much for the kind words.
We pride ourselves on making the experience easy on our customers so that's great to hear. Your xeriscape is going to look awesome for years to come.
