October Giveaway | Sponsored by Cumming Local

I have the very opposite of a green thumb. When my husband goes out of town for just a few days, there’s a good chance an indoor plant will die for lack of water or that I’ll make the mistake of pulling an outdoor plant thinking it was a weed! I should be banned from all things green! Thankfully no one has to rely on my skills to make their yard look beautiful!

Since 2005, Greenshooz has been beautifying, maintaining, and creating outdoor spaces throughout the North Atlanta communities of Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek, Suwanee & Cumming. Locally owned and operated by Chris & Amy Ridgeway in Cumming GA, Greenshooz works to bring a service to their clients that goes beyond maintenance and design. They want to bring a unique style and approach that will fit your home, your desires, and your needs. If you hire a professional to do their job, then it’s important that they love their job! Otherwise, the outcome will show in the project you’ve paid for.

Earlier this month I was able to meet both owners, Chris & Amy. I was immediately struck by two things. They love the business they do & they have a strong desire to educate their customers – they explain processes, ideas, and solutions in a way that is easily understood. The Greenshooz Facebook Page is a great example of this! Like their page & I am pretty sure you will learn something with their updates!

Whether you need help maintaining your yard throughout the year or help transitioning from one season to the next, Greenshooz offers a variety of services including:

•Annual Lawn Maintenance
•Seasonal Lawn Maintenance
•Pine Straw & Mulch Installation
•or their Seasonal Color Program

When it comes to landscape design, Greenshooz specializes in taking the average yard and transforming it into something truly fantastic! They’ll create a cost-effective concept that will set your house apart from your neighbors … in a good way! With stone patios & walk ways, water features, and drought-tolerant landscape (hello Georgia weather!), your yard can become something it’s mean to be – an outdoor space you love to be!

With the fall time change just a month away, now is also the perfect time to consider landscape lighting for your outdoor space. Greenshooz provides outdoor lighting packages starting at just $899 that includes ten LED lights and installation to work with your design and highlight your home and landscape features.
