What recent reviews say

Ground & Garden earns consistent five-star reviews for thoughtful design, fast execution on large yards, and responsive crews who work in difficult heat.

  • attentive project managers and field staff
  • design quality and creative problem-solving
  • fast turnaround on urgent work
  • reliability over decades
  • responsiveness to customer needs
Watch-outs

Best for: Homeowners wanting design-driven landscapes and multipart projects with clear timelines and named account oversight.

  • named project managers (Kate, Eric, Alex, Noel) who communicate clearly
  • ability to accelerate timelines on large projects
  • creative design with attention to drainage and plant selection

Worth knowing

  • Crews work in extreme heat and complete large acre-scale projects faster than competitors
  • One customer reported yellowing plants on a $70k install; weed barriers not standard
  • One-year customer reports $644 per month for bundled weekly mowing and maintenance on 2,000 sqft yard

Common questions

How quickly can Ground & Garden respond to urgent projects?
One customer reported a two-day turnaround for front-yard work before a party. A one-acre spring cleanup was accelerated beyond the customer's expectations. Sprinkler repairs were completed the next day.
Do they include weed barriers in landscape installations?
Per one customer experience, weed barriers are not standard in their install process; hand-weeding is recommended instead.
What is the pricing for ongoing maintenance?
One customer quote was $644 per month for weekly lawn mowing combined with monthly gardening services (weeding, pruning, mulch, fertilization, aeration, ant control, irrigation adjustments) on a 2,000 sqft yard. Monthly-only gardening service (without mowing) is reportedly not offered separately.
