Steve and his crew are dependable, great communicators, and did a fantastic job on our yard. On time and on budget. Great design, and fantastic work. I would hire them again and actually plan to have them perform ongoing maintenance.

We found them on Angie's List and it's on going. I hired them for the retaining wall in 2007 and if that went well, I would hire them for other projects. I have been using them since. They do about three visits a year. It's about time to clean up the garden and they will be doing that.
Description of Work: From the Ground Up Incorporated did a retaining wall and have been doing plantings. They have been doing maintenance stuff ever since and still are. They do maintenance on the shrubs, do plantings, and stuff like that.

They did some real nice work. There's two or three owners. One of them has a landscape degree from Kansas State. He came out and we talked. He told he he would send me a diagram with the pricing. That came within a couple of weeks. Then I told him that was fine. They came out promptly after that, I think maybe it was a week later. There were two guys that did all the work. They were very thorough and they were just good at what they did. They trimmed beautifully. They trimmed my shrubs and the bushes look a lot better. They did a lot of work in terms of hauling some old stuff out and put in new fertilizer, new top soil and replanted solarium in front of my house. They were good enough that I will use them again. I like the owner, its T. Stockman. They did quality work.

Project was exactly what I wanted for a very reasonable price. They listened to us and tried to reuse existing plants in the landscaping, where possible.

I have lupus and cannot work out in the sun for long stretches of time. My urban garden/grounds had become neglected and I needed a big spring clean up. From the Group Up came and toured the garden with me and then submitted a bid. I felt the bid was reasonable. About two weeks later they came and did the clean up. My garden has never looked better. They rakes up and trimmed back 23 bags worth of leaves, branches, etc. I have hired them for ongoing maintenance. I think they provide a good service for the price. And they are wonderful to work with.
Description of Work: Spring clean up on front, back, and side yards on a small urban lot with a lot of garden area.

They aren't finished at my house. They help maintain my garden and do much of the work that I can no longer do due to arthritis...I will always use them as long as they are in business.
Description of Work: I have used From The Ground Up for over 15 years. They are conscientious, careful, clean up beautifully and have done everything from planting flower pots, trimming vines, planting trees, digging and moving bushes, helping me decide what plants grow best where etc....I trust them and have never been disappointed in their work or attitude..Just a wonderful group of hard-working, caring, people. My daughter had them draw a plan for her modest yard...it was reasonable and possible for her to do..It was not expensive and the plants suggested were reasonable for her to afford...Very thoughtful ...both on the horticulture and the budget.

Everything is always excellent. When they did the designs they did use my input as they did it. They are trustworthy. They are great for people who want nice landscaping, but are not interested or do not have the time for the upkeep. I have been using them for the last eight years.

They were superb. Steve's team worked solidly for two days and did a meticulous job of removing the old weeds and grasses and replacing them with ground cover and exotic grasses and plants. He carried this plan off at the height of summer, and all the plants survived thanks to the excellent dripping system he installed. The job is perfect in every way!
