First job. Owner visited my property to get an accurate idea of what I wanted. The day before our appointment, owner called to see if we were open to doing the job one day early. We had no problem . His men did a good cutting, excellent clean up in good time. Owner came on this first visit to ensure that his crew knew the project. Very impressed with this company. Most importantly, the crew mowed the front lawn twice because the grass had't been cut in two weeks. Woohoo.. great job!

Response from Ground Effects Lawn Care
Mrs [Member Name Removed], I was very surprised to see your negative review. The deal that you purchased was for aerating and overseeding which is done on yards that are already established and need to be thickened up. Your yard needed to be completely re-seeded because it was too thin and weed covered. I explained to your husband that the deal you purchased would not give you desired results at this time of year. We offered to do the job in the fall which would have given a better result. Even with this information you still requested service be performed. We have been in business over 15 years because we take pride in and guarantee our work. When we go to a potential new customer to evaluate services requested we give you our professional opinion on what your lawn needs. We will not perform services that in our experience will not work for the customer. We do not want you to waste your money and not get the desired result. Please contact Angie's List for a full refund. Mike Paquette

Played phone tag with Mike last fall, 2015. Tried again just yesterday, 4/28/16. Left a message. He happened to be near the neighborhood this afternoon, saw me outside and stopped. Introduced himself and we did a quick walk around the yard. He made a few suggestions and began work today. Stated our spring cleanup just in time to look good. Planning to return in next week or so to finish. Look forward to the cpmpleted work. Will review again post.

Response from Ground Effects Lawn Care
[Member Name Removed], This is the first time I herd you were unhappy with our work, if there is something you are not satisfied with something you should have called. We aerated and over seeded your lawn in October of 2015 . The 2016 season just started to grow this week 4/15/16 you haven't even seen the results yet so how can you say we did a bad job. A lawn takes time to grow it could take months to see the end results.

Instead of weeding an area where grass had grown up through some groundcover -- what I had hired them to get under control --, the provider weedwacked the tops of the grass. It looked better but I have to do the *actual* weeding myself. Obviously didn't solve the problem of removing the grass. Also, I asked the provider to relocate a hydrangea from one side of the yard to the other. The hydrangea -- which had been very hearty -- didn't survive the transplant -- it turned black and died. Now I have to remove it and replace it. That said, the provider was punctual, courteous, and helped tame my yard from a visual perspective. I was glad I got the help; I just wish it had been the right kind of help and that I didn't have to buy a new hydrangea.
Description of Work: Weeded my front yard and relocated a plant.

I had my leach field replaced in July. Unfortunately, the area that had been torn up when initially seeded sprouted weeds. This is why it is recommended to plant grass in the fall or early spring and not the middle of summer. Therefore, I called Mike to come over and check out my situation. He came over and recommended killing off the weeds and then reseeding with his slice seeding machine. It's been about a month and with proper watering my lawn is filling in quite nicely.
Description of Work: Re-seeded an area of my front lawn that was torn up due to replacing a septic leach field.

Mike Paquette was very professional, courteous and punctual and first came to check-out our property and to discuss in detail what he felt we needed to be done. He made himself very available to answer any and all our questions and concerns prior to beginning the job. He then emailed us a detailed plan for the work he felt was needed and listed the jobs according to priority as well as provided us with pricing. He has already completed the most urgent job as he felt our lawn needed the most attention. We have already asked him to return to work on further landscaping work we would like done before the winter. Based on this first visit, we are happy with Ground Effects performance.
Description of Work: We purchased the $125.00 Big Deal for 2 hours, 2 men, to do landscaping work and applied it to the labor for a big job. We had the front and back lawn completely aerated, seeded and fertilized! The additional $200 was to pay for all the materials.

Mike is very professional and communicates well. He did an outstanding job on my property and was very upfront with pricing (best price around for the work I needed) & scheduling. I will be recommending Mike to my friends & family as I love his work. I will be using Mike from now on for all of my landscaping needs. I have also hired Mike to do weekly mowing until the end of the season.

Mike P and his team are excellent. I am so happy that I switiched to his company years ago!. He is professional, courteous, honest and reliable, Mike gives it to you straight- he does not over charge and is very very reasonable. When he first came to take care of my lawn it was a mess! My 2 big dogs had dug up the lawn and killed the grass where they urinated. Mike and his team took on this challenge and brought my yard back to life. It is now a lush green carpet that I love! and the best part is that he comes on a scheduled basis to maintain it at times that are best for me. I highly recommend Ground Effects!

Everything went smoothly and exactly as they planned.
Description of Work: Mike-the owner of Ground Effects came to our home and really did a great job on our lawn. The first time he came he assessed our lawn and gave us a detailed list of recommendations that we needed. Our lawn was in poor condition and needed much care. The crew reseeded, aerated and fertilized the lawn. He also recommended installing a flowered bed around our patio,which really made a big difference in the appearance of our yard.
