Grounds Touch Landscaping

unknown

We first learned about John from friends who had a similar fescue-removal project done last year. Their yard looks fantastic so we thought we should at least consider him. We gave him a call and he was quick to set up an appointment and provide an estimate. His quote was very reasonable for all the work proposed and we felt very comfortable with him given that he was referred by friends. So, we ended up going with him without getting any other estimates. That's pretty unusual for us. Two weeks prior he came out and sprayed round-up to kill off the existing fescue. Once dead, he tilled the entire yard and rough graded. There were a couple spots that needed to be raised or lowered so that the yard would drain properly. I was impressed to see him spending time (with a transit level) on this detail. He then used a power landscape rake to pick up all the rocks and sticks to make it smooth. He then brought in about 18 yards of soil to create raised planting beds around the back/side foundation of the house. John and his crew ended up laying the sod on a very rainy day. Good for our yard. Not so good for them. Because of the rain, they couldn't use the bobcat to move the pallets to the back yard. They ended up using a wheel-barrow to get it all back there. This added a lot of labor, but there were no complaints at all. They just muscled through it. It's now been almost a month and the yard is looking wonderful. I have no hesitations recommending Grounds Touch. They are a rare breed that under promise and over deliver.
