Look no further than a company whose owner cares about the customer and makes your yard exceed expectations. I have hired numerous yard companies to care for three yards over the past 15 years in Ashford Park. Ground Control with Brian is the best. Brian keeps communication open with me at all times. He is knowledgeable, professional, and works the site right along with his employees. He suggests without pressure, and keeps pricing reasonable and predictable. This company is truly as good as it gets in lawn service. Call no one else! read more

We were impressed with Brian when he first came for the quote. We were first time homeowners, and really did not know much about the upkeep up lawns. Since buying the house, the lawn had become patchy and overgrown, and we were ready to have someone help us maintain it. We were really impressed with his knowledge, professionalism, and all the recommendations he had for year-long care (when we could replant grass, when we should do cleanups, etc). We were given an estimate for an initial cleanup cost and a monthly cost with a year-long contract. What we understood was that overall yard maintenance after the cleanup would be included, and any seasonal things (aerating, seeding, bed care, etc) would be extra. Our yard consists of pine straw beds with a few bushes (no flower beds or gardens), monkeygrass edging, and fescue lawn. Within 2 months, we started feeling unsatisfied; the weeds in the beds were growing, the ivy was growing over the fence, and the edging was overgrown. One man on Brian's staff came at MOST every 2 weeks and spent no more than 20 minutes doing the front and backyard. We wouldn't even care how long it took if we felt like the job was complete. So, we emailed Brian and tried to communicate our dissatisfaction. We were told that our maintenance contract only included lawn mowing, blowing (leaves not carried away- curbside), and "edging" (but not if it's monkeygrass edging). All the weeds growing in the beds though the pine straw and the ivy growing over the fence and onto the driveway were not their responsibility. We were not pleased, but we still said that we would entertain any estimate for "extra" work to have our yard looking professionally managed. Over the fall, when we were promised longer service because of all the leaves, the service was no extra, and all but one time the leaves and debris were actually blown into the ivy to the side of the driveway and never bagged. Each time we complained, we were told stories about how his staff works a lot with second jobs, may be tired, and will be talked to. No changes. We were given an estimate for the aeration and overseed, and we accepted because we were hoping the patchy lawn would improve. Over the winter, the visits became fewer and, when asked, it was because it was the "dormant" season. So, now, service was at most 20-30 minutes per month. This Spring, aka the growing season, we have seen them twice in April and only once in the first week of May. They kept cancelling due to rain, but here we are mid June and no one has been since May 3rd. You can imagine how long our grass is. Our lawn is still patchy. The beds are embarrassingly overgrown. The grass is intermixed with weeds. The monkeygrass edging is so overgrown parts are browning. The ivy is over the fence and encroaching on all the trees. Frankly, my family is shocked when I tell them that we have a lawn service. It has become embarrassing that we have spent that money for the past entire year with the yard looking like it does. We never declined estimates for extra work. All we wanted was a well kept yard we could be proud of and an open line of communication. We still find Brian professional and likely very knowledgeable. However, we felt as though we were put last as clients; We surely hope that all his customers weren't missed for more than an entire month. We have tried talking in person and by email about expectations. If we could post pictures, we think the yard would speak for itself with regards to whether we can recommend this business. We can't imagine that our yard is what Brian would want on the front his business cards..... Disappointing end, and now we have to begin the search for another company and pay another "clean up" initial fee because it is such a mess. read more

left two messages on their voice mail and sent one email message. No one bothered to return the calls... Perhaps they are not looking for new business. Follow up: Within one minute of posting this review, Brian calls and says he sent me a reply on Yelp. I explained that I did not receive any. I pointed out that this call could have been made when I sent second message... Moral; Call and follow up. It is not that difficult. We have hired some other prompt response company who take pride in their name and work. read more

I hired Brian to install a new backyard while our pool was under construction. Our time frame was an issue which Brian worked around the best he could (our pool company, Atticus Custom Pools went out of business leaving everyone high and dry). So, Brian did a great job considering the circumstances. Our yard looks great, nice and green. My only concern is he did not roll the sod which asked for. So, my yard guy is unable to get the lower depth of the sod. Brian has promised to address this in the spring with aeration. But, overall, the sod looks really good. Brian also installed 3 new sprinkler zones for our backyard/pool area. The sprinklers are cool and do a great job with coverage. We have golf course sprinklers :) Brian definitely needs more help to maintain a more balanced schedule. Overall, Brian did a great job. NC (Sandy Springs) read more

Overall, I cannot say enough good things about Ground Control Lawn Services. I have lived in Atlanta for 13 years, and I have used numerous different landscaping companies here. And finally, I have found a company we are going to stick with! What impressed me the most was that Brian worked with his team on making our yard look lovely. It says a lot about the service you will receive when the person who owns the business (Brian) is working side by side with his team. He cleaned up our entire yard...edged...the attention to detail was impressive. My husband was thrilled that we were able to play with our children on a well manicured lawn...but he was not spending his weekends taking care of it! The professionalism, pricing, and quality of work are the 3 reasons Ground Control Landscaping will be our go to for all of our landscaping, clean-up, and maintenance needs! Please check out Ground Control, and I am certain you will be as impressed as we were!! read more

Don't hesitate to call Brian for your landscaping needs. We recently moved and have a pretty detailed yard situation that neither my husband nor I would have been able to maintain. Brian has come in and totally taken care of our yard, bushes, trees, and flowers-and he even figured out how our irrigation system worked when we couldn't figure it out ourselves! He's extremely communicative and let's you know exactly what's going on. A+++ read more

Amazing!! I had used 2 of the impersonal national chains in the past and was unhappy. A friend recommend Brian. Brian generally cares about your lawn. He is very knowledgeable about all yard services and will do a great job and you will be very happy. He will also do the little things to help your yard that other services will not do. Plus you can always talk to the actual person who is doing the work instead of some stranger in an office. MDay read more
