Description of Work: I purchased this service on January 21, 2015. Initial attempts to schedule were not responded to. I was finally able to speak to the provider and he said that he would call me on Monday morning, March 9. When I didn't hear from him, I texted him and he responded that he would be here today (March 10, 2015). I stayed at home all day, waiting for him to come but he never showed up. After texting him earlier this afternoon, I finally received a text within the past few minutes asking if I was available tomorrow. I refuse to spend another day at home waiting for someone who doesn't have the courtesy of letting me know if they aren't going to show up. I don't want to deal with someone who assumes that I can sit at home all day waiting. I am retired but I do have a life and the lack of communication with this man is unacceptable to me.

Our needs are pretty straightforward. They said they would come out every other week in the Winter and every week in the Summer. They've held to that and we haven't had any problems with them at all. We have a fenced in yard and they have never left the gate open when they're done, which I appreciate.
Description of Work: We have a contract with Ground Control to mow our lawn. They also trim our Palm Trees.

Started service in January 2012 and have continued since then. Ground Control has been totally dependable and reliable. If rain should ever impact their schedule, they are out as soon as possible afterwards. Paul, the owner, is always available by phone, if needed. He takes pride in and responsibility for the work his crews perform. The crews are polite. This is a well-managed service which is competitively priced. I am totally happy with this service and would recommend it without reservation to anyone.
Description of Work: Lawn service is on-going for a one-acre residential lot. Cost stated is monthly cost. Services provided include mowing, edging, weed-wacking, blowing, trimming up hedges and bushes as needed and keeping the planted areas looking well-maintained. Service is weekly during the summer growing months and biweekly in the winter.

Paul came by the house and quoted a very reasonable price. He was busy before Christmas but got to it the day after Christmas; it took a week to get it scheduled, but that didn't bother me. Like I mentioned earlier, they did a great job. He emailed me an invoice and I mailed a check, that easy. I know folks are asking about lawn and yard work he performs, well that is next on my list with Ground Control. I'm wanting to work a maintenance plan to mow my backyard (HOA mows the front) and keep the landscaping trimmed and weeded. I'll add another review when that happens. Paul can sometimes be hard to get a hold of (he will get back to you), but with his prices and quality of work he stays busy. Thanks Paul for a great job.
Description of Work: I have a fairly small yard with hedges and bushes around the front and side. They needed trimming, weeding, and mulch added. I was quoted a very reasonable price and Wow, they did a great job.

While we were pleased with all three, Paul Winston and his crew from Ground Control were outstanding in every respect. They are prompt, thorough, and professional. The quality of their work was far superior to that of the other companies we tried and we immediately settled on Ground Control for the contract. They have now performed lawn maintenance four time, and we could not be more pleased with their perfomance and their price.
Description of Work: Ground Control is one of three lawn maintenance professional I contacted a couple months ago to obtain estimates/quotes for an annual maintenance contract at our home for mowing, triming, edging, clean up. In addition to providing the estimate, I asked each company to perform a trial mow.

I'm very satisfied with the job being done so far.
Description of Work: I called Paul Winston and made an appt. for an estimate to mow, edge, trim & blow my front lawn every week. He was very prompt, friendly and helpful. We agreed on a price and he started the job 04/06/2012 and will mow every Friday throughout the growing season and then as needed during the winter months. I agreed to pay him the last Friday of the month.

There was never any work done since he never contacted me.
Description of Work: I contacted Paul from this lawn service and told him how disappointed I was in the current lawn maintenance person in my community. I told him I was on a budget and mentioned some of the services I was looking for. That was on Monday of this week. He told me he would take a look and give me a call back with an estimate. That was 5 days ago and I've left 3 messages for him with no call back. Based on this, I doubt I would recommend him to anyone because of the total lack of communication on his part. Maybe he figured I wasn't going to be worth his time and trouble, but I feel he could have let me know that as well.

Response from Ground Control Landscape Maintenance
The member and I had spoken twice about comming out and taking a look at her property. She did leave me a message that I was not able to respond to due to a personal situation with my son. I left her a message appologising and explaining to her about the situation. She did not return my phone call. I try not to let personal situations effect the way we do business but my family comes first. I hope she understood.

Paul was great right from the start. I called a couple landscape companies prior and either never got called back, or never got a quote. Paul came out within a couple days. All I had to do was tell him what "look" I was going for and he did the rest. He emailed me a proposal a couple days later with a list of the plants he suggested as well as how many would be planted. I looked each up online and I knew he was listening to what I wanted, I had total faith it would look great. I think people on Angies List expect allot out of a company. Paul met and exceeded my expectations. He answered or returned my calls right away, and answered all my questions. Most important, I have a beautiful yard that I am going to enjoy everyday. I could not be any happier with the work!
Description of Work: Full sod and landscape of front yard. Full landscape and mulch of back yard, and tree removal.

This is a great company to work with. They are helpful and reliable; I'd recommend them to anyone needing a reliable yard service.
Description of Work: I have used this company for lawn service and plant maintenance for several years. They come weekly during the summer and a little less frequently after the grass quits growing so quickly in the fall and winter months. They also maintain the landscaping by pruning, shaping, etc. as part of the monthly charge. They will also do special projects, as needed. I have gotten referrals from them for work they couldn't handle and each referral has performed well.

They are my regular service provider now. I spend $100 a month for their service. They are great. They do an excellent job and they are always on time. I have never had to call them back to do a job a second time over. They are good. I will continue to use them.

Previous lawn service went out of business abruptly. I have had 4 lawn services in the last 3 years. None were honest or reliable. So, I asked a co-worker who he used for his landscaping and he gave me Paul's card. He said he has had Ground Control for the last 5 years and has never looked back. I called Paul Winston and he came to see my property the very next day with his entire crew. Paul was very knowledgeable, extremely professional and easy to talk to. After spending about 20 minutes walking around my tiny yard with me pointing out things he would do to help get things back in shape he gave me a quote for what it would be to do my monthly lawn and landscape maintenance and I nearly fell over it was so much better than i had been paying. He went back to his truck and his crew went to work immediately and cleaned up my entire yard and within an hour they got it recovered from several weeks of neglect. Great team of guys working for him, friendly and very hard working folks. I highly recommend Ground Control if you are in the market for a new landscaper and lawn service. Its been about a month now and i feel incredibly lucky to have found these guys....my lawn looks better than it ever has!
