What recent reviews say

Ground & Garden consistently delivers polished yard transformations grounded in careful listening and skilled execution. Reviewers specifically name designers like Adam and Alec, foreman Eric, and project manager Kate for turning vague ideas into detailed, built-out plans. The crew works in extreme heat without cutting corners. One reviewer found their maintenance-only pricing steep ($644/month for a 2,000 sq ft yard) and bundled with lawn service by default, though the design and install work itself earned universal praise.

Praised for
  • attention to detail
  • responsive communication
  • thoughtful design
  • skilled crew and staff
  • on budget and transparent pricing
Watch-outs
  • maintenance pricing not bundled with lawn service
  • plant health issues post-install
  • no weed barriers included in design work
punctualreliableon-budgetskilled-crewattention-to-detailresponsivegreat-design-ideasfriendly-staff
Best for: Homeowners wanting a single firm for design through installation, especially those wanting creative solutions and detailed planning.
Think twice if: Maintenance-only clients should ask about standalone garden care; the company bundles weeding and seasonal work with weekly lawn service at premium cost.

Strengths

  • Transparent proposal process with photos and phasing
  • Crew works diligently in extreme heat
  • Responsive same-day or next-day service on urgent calls

  • Foreman Eric Kocian provides detailed proposals with photographs and handles large acre-scale projects
  • Crew leaders Mark, Noel and Bo noted for responsiveness and reliability
  • Edwin's crew works in extreme heat (103 degrees reported)
  • Next-day emergency sprinkler repair documented
  • One 20-year customer relationship documented since company's prior name (Perfect Lawns)
  • Acre-scale projects completed with tight timelines

Common questions

Do you offer maintenance without weekly lawn service?
Reviewers report that garden care (weeding, pruning, mulch, fertilization, aeration) is bundled with weekly lawn mowing and blowing; one quote was $644/month for a 2,000 sqft yard. Ask about standalone options when calling.
How quickly can you respond to irrigation issues?
One reviewer reported next-day response to a sprinkler controller problem, including full head inspection and diagnostic advice.
Do you install weed barriers?
One reviewer reported they do not install weed barriers; beds require hand-weeding. Confirm this during the design consultation.
