"Called Peter for a last minute yard cleanup and refresh. He showed up quickly with his fine crew and they did an awesome job! Very happy."
"They did a great job- quick and followed directions and did a fantastic job!"
"Asked them to come in and do a "spring renewal," freshing up the much, replacing displaced rock, trimming native grasses, etc. was done well, fast, and on budget. Will use them again this year!"
"Green Mountain Outdoor Living (GMOL) did a great job on my back yard. My yard was in really rough shape after I had removed a very large wooden deck which took up a huge area. The removal exposed the rubble from the original house construction after the 40+ years it had been in place. The rest of the yard was bare earth from past years of draught and dogs. Also, I had a huge amount of unsightly field stones everywhere. GMOL was not the first company I had contacted, but they were the *first* to be responsive to me. Peter answered my call right away and was super quick to come over to walk it down. After truly listening to what I needed, we mutually came up with a plan within my time and budget requirements. His team was scheduled within a week. The very respectful team moved all the loose rocks, using them to build a natural-looking berm that I needed, which turned out looking better than what I had even hoped for! They cleaned up the old debris, then laid down soft, natural mulch for my dogs, and added stones at my house foundation for both aesthetics and better fire mitigation. They also spruced-up my front yard so it is looking fresh! My dogs are ecstatic! They loved chasing each other up and down the fresh ground cover!

"The crew at Green Mountain Outdoor Living is awesome. Just good people doing solid work. We’ve known them since their original name —Green Mountain Boys and I’m happy to say that they haven’t lost a step. Craftsmanship and communication were A+. Highly recommend."
"Green Mountain Boys are amazing. Peter is very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about our plants from him. This was a big job and they got through it in 3 days. It looks wonderful and we plan on them doing the ongoing maintenance as well. I would recommend them to anyone, everything was done so efficiently."
"Wonderful experiences with Peter and the Green Mountain team. Extremely reliable, professional, and hard working crew that we've worked with for a few years now. Highly recommended!"
"We recently collaborated with Green Mountain Boys on a landscape project they brought us in on, and it was a great experience. Their team was organized, communicative, and focused on delivering a high-quality result. We’re currently working through design ideas on a couple more projects together and look forward to continuing the partnership."
"Green Mountain Boys built our hardscape patio and the whole experience felt sharp from day one. The design process was collaborative and thoughtful — they walked the space with us, offered strong ideas on layout and materials, and made us feel confident without ever being pushy. The crew works hard and takes real pride in their craft. The patio base is rock solid, the cuts are clean, and the finished space feels intentional and high-end. Great attitude, great communication, and a result we’re genuinely proud to show off."
"We had a great experience with Green Mountain Boys. Peter came out, walked the property with us, and actually listened. He asked how we use the yard, what we cared about, and where we wanted to invest versus save. He offered suggestions and we were impressed with his plant knowledge and creative ideas. The design process was simple and clear. No pressure, no upselling — just honest conversations and solid ideas. Once the job started, the crew showed up when they said they would and kept the site clean. The finished product looks sharp and feels built the right way. You can tell they care about doing it right, not just getting it done."

They were careful and thorough. We'll be hiring them again! Oh, and we live up Fourmile canyon and the 15 minute drive from town wasn't a problem."

— Our Top Services
Green Mountain Outdoor Living was founded by Peter Buckley in 2020. After leaving a corporate job back East, Peter thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail and began hiking the Continental Divide Trail before an injury in the San Juans brought him back to Colorado.
He got back to his Vermont farm roots and decided to start this company with a simple goal — build landscapes the right way, serve others, elevate young men. Since then, the company has grown steadily — expanding into landscape design, flagstone patios, and larger outdoor living projects while staying grounded in the same values we started with.
Our crew culture is simple: be humble, personable, and accountable. We believe the way we treat people and the care we put into our work are what set us apart.
Around here we have a saying: “Keep it Green Mountain,” which means be kind, stay humble, and execute.
