Excavation Drainage Solutions
Land Grading
Grading your property is one of the most effective ways to prevent flooding and redirect water away from your home. Even small changes in slope can make a significant difference.
Underground Downspout Installation
Clogged gutters and improper downspout placement are common causes of basement flooding. Installing underground downspouts ensures water is safely directed away from your home.

French drains manage surface and ground water effectively, protecting foundations and eliminating standing water in low-lying areas.

TESTIMONIALS
REAL STORIES FROM SATISFIED CUSTOMERS
Chris Brown15 August 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brandon and BrightGreen crew were top notch. Brandon does a great job of taking your ideas and wants and making them a reality. We did some landscaping bed to provide borders and an outline in our backyard and couldn’t be happier with the results. Cleaned up the beds and mulched around the rest of the house as well. Kathy Peterson31 July 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Bright Green come out and edge flower beds and add mulch. They did an AWESOME job with everything including some unexpected touches to the yard, which "thank you" again. Their clean-up of the yard was spotless. Thank you again :) Joseph Bayer25 July 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brandon’s crew did an amazing job removing all of the weeds in my yards, mulching the garden beds, and trimming back my trees. They were quick, but made sure to take the time to do quality work. My house has never looked better!! jc24 July 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brandon was great to work with for our landscaping project, quick with responses and accommodative when changes needed to be made. His attention to detail was appreciated along with spending additional time on education. His crew was respectful and checked in along the way to make sure we were satisfied. I would highly recommend for any outdoor project. Kris White22 July 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bright Green Landscapes was outstanding!! It's rare today that you can find a company that has it all - great communication, reasonable prices and fantastic service. I'm so glad I found them! I was in constant contact with the owner throughout the project. The crew arrived right on time, did a beautiful job and cleaned up perfectly. Everyone on the team was so kind and knowledgeable. And, wow, did they work quickly!! Given how much they had to clean up, fix up and remove, that's saying a lot! I will definitely be a repeat customer! I can't thank them enough! Tracey Anderson19 July 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brandon and his crew were amazing. Not only was communication great, but attention was paid to every detail. They left the front of my home looking beautiful. I highly recommend Bright Green Landscaping! Brianne Pape18 July 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love the work that they did for us! They were extremely efficient and did a great job! Robert Moretti18 July 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We trusted Bright Green to install our new lawn and all of our landscaping (trees, plants, retaining walls, and mulch/rock). As a construction professional, I often seek three bids/proposals and then choose the contractor who I feel will be the best partner, which is usually not the person with the lowest price. That was the case with the landscaping on our new home build: Bright Green was not the lowest price BUT I truly feel they provided the best value and I could not be more pleased with the results. Their level of care, communication, professionalism exceeded my expectations (which I have to admit are high). Their entire team, from the field workers, foreman, in-house team, to the owner himself, were always very polite and followed through on their commitments. Bright Green will be our landscaper moving forward, period. If I could give a sixth star I would! James Fountain17 July 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brandon and his team does great work. They were very responsive to our requests and kept us informed while the work was being done. Highly recommend! Napoleon Garcia16 July 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brandon and his team came in did a great job! Due to inclement weather they were delayed but made up for it with great service and communication! Highly recommend them for landscaping needs! Great job! Thanks again!Showing only 4-5 star reviews
