When I started Green Thumb Landscaping I wanted to create a landscape, construction and design company that would provide excellent customer service and outstanding quality. I wanted to give clients the piece of mind and comfort of knowing that they were in good hands when they booked with us. And in the 7 years that I have been growing my company those standards have always been a priority for us.
