Very poor communication and follow through. Hired GroundSmith to do new flower bed, mulch, planting. Was told it would be done by late April. Its now three weeks past that date and absolutely zero response to my request for new estimate as to when work would be done. That was 3 weeks ago and still crickets. Not crickets in my lawn- just from GroundSmith.

I had a fairly large design build landscape/hardscape project that Groundsmith did for me. It included patio and landscaping around our house, pool, and barn. We also did some fertilizing and grass "rebooting". It was amazing how much I got done with one phone call. The suggestions and pricing were sensible and easy to understand. The leadership of Groundsmith has excellent values and it shows in how they treat their customers and employees. The crew was professional, responsive, on time, and addressed any questions or concerns promptly. I consider these guys my friends and look forward to having

I tried them out for a year, not very impressed. The first crew that came did great, but after that they must've had the B squad out because they would tear up my lawn every time, not trim around driveway and sidewalk, etc. Even after bringing up the issue multiple times, they buzzed my yard in so many places the grass just turned brown and stopped growing (See pics).They also raised my price by 18% after the first year without any explanation, so be prepared for that. I also talked to Todd about quoting some shrub and tree removal and planting, but he neglected to ever get back with me or make

We researched several landscaping companies and decided on Groundsmith. They did not disappoint! Todd is always very responsive, and the crew spent 8 hours in the hot sun doing summer cleanup after we moved in. Because of their hard work and reasonable pricing, we will be making Groundsmith our go-to for all landscaping maintenance and seasonal cleanup.

After many months of planning with my husband, I saw a landscaping truck at my neighbors house and decided to call and see if GroundSmith could help with what my husband and I were thinking about. GroundSmith is an incredible company and I am so pleased to recommend them to anyone who is in need of landscape help. They built a beautiful retainer wall for us. It was an absolute pleasure working with them from the planning stage to the completion. Their employees are VERY customer focused and professional! Thank you GroundSmith!!

I was thrilled to discover GroundSmith since they offer a variety of services and are a family owned business. We started using them to cut down the ornamental grasses. Because of the timely and quality work, we hired them for our Spring clean up and mulch. It was nice to hear they also offered tree trimming, fertilizing and aeration work. It's a one stop business for all your outdoor landscaping needs.
