GroundWorX LLC

They have done work for me continuously over the past year and a half. They do a nice job and they had good ideas for the layout of the landscaping. Nicholas Shipman, the owner, is who I worked with primary and he has a good eye for design. They do very good work and leave everything clean and tidy.

Nicholas and his crew did a great job painting our fence. These guys work fast -- they painted almost 1000 ft of four-board fence in less than half-a-day. We checked their references carefully and they have many satisfied customers, mainly in rural Virginia like Middleburg, we were their first job ever in Fairfax County. They used a black water-based paint -- sometimes called an opaque stain -- formulated especially for fencing and made in Richmond Virginia. We originally intended to use an oil-based paint for greater longevity but they convinced us that this was a quality product. After 2 months on a new cedar and pressure-treated pine fence, it looks good and seems to be holding up well. The company who installed the fence did not offer painting services, but their crew offered to do the job on the side -- for four time more than Groundworx charged us. Worse yet, the fence crew wanted to use regular house paint without priming the bare wood, a recipe for disaster in my experience. The only caveat is that Groundworx specializes in BIG jobs with thousands of feet of fencing. This means its up to you to make sure plants, insects, leaves, dirt, post caps, etc. are cleared from the fence. Because they work quickly, we noted a number of places where the paint went on too thick and dripped or two thin and did not penetrate fully. They left us some mason jars of extra paint for touchup. But from a few feet away, it's hard to spot any problems. Overall, we're delighted with the results and the cost. If you have a big fence painting or staining job, you probably can't do much better.
