I have completed 1 year of full yard maintenance with The Ground Guys. They contracted to cut the…read moregrass, maintain the mulch beds, trim the edges, pick up debris, remove leaves, prune bushes, overseed and aerate in the fall, activate and winterize my irrigation system. I also engaged them to install mulch and prep the beds as an added fee. They subcontract the irrigation services, and that company was very good, identifying where previously the system had damage that was not identified by my previous service company (extra fee for the repairs). They worked with me as well to adjust the watering setup to preserve new plantings. The GG's services were delivered like clockwork. They are very efficient and complete in all they do. When blowing debris for clean up, my wife was especially pleased that they blew leaves off of our back deck! That was a plus! Since I work from home, I was aware of their comings and goings and the work was always done well. When I had questions, the crew was very responsive to me and contacted the main office when there was some confusion about a schedule that was worked out very nicely. I see the cost of this service as very similar to and competitive with regular HOA costs for "full service" condo or townhouse subdivisions, but this is performed on my 1/4 acre lot. I find great value in this service from The Ground Guys and plan to renew my contract.

I requested lawn service from this company. This is the second time they've been here. I wasn't…read morehappy either time. There are very sloppy missed all the weeds. They don't listen to what I want done I've tried complaining to the owner and who just ignores my messages so I will take my business elsewhere. It's like they never did lawn service before. Terrible experience.!

So I have no problem with giving 5 stars, but I do think there are a few spots that could have used…read morebetter attention to detail, as noted in a couple of the photos provided. The crew was here almost two weeks. I thought it crazy that the company didn't provide them a port-a-jon. We had some other work done that took the same amount of time and that company made sure their crew had a place to use the bathroom. I certainly would not expect my crew to have to ask the homeowner. As for the work, good stuff, the crew were very professional. The company's "front office" were attentive when I asked for things, the only oddity is I never got an invoice after payment, nor the link they said I'd get to provide feedback. Like they went out of business or something. At any rate, I'd recommend this company, and would hire them again if I needed any work done. One note of recommendation, the wall lights used were $200 a piece and are fixed. Volt Lighting out of Florida has wall lights for $60 that can be adjusted to bathe the area where the $200 ones point straight down, limiting their ability to bathe the area broader. That is one change I would have made in hindsight.

Oak Valley prepared the site to install our whole house generator. The work was performed beyond my…read moreexpectations. I was surprised about two things in particular. 1). The work area was super clean when they finished. You would think the hardscape had been there for years. 2). The work crew used a wheel barrow instead of the tracked bucket loader they had on site. As a result, there was NO damage to the existing sod or yard. That caused them a LOT of extra effort and was VERY appreciated. Photos are with no generator were taken within hours of Oak Valley completing work. Notice how clean they left the work area.

My experience with BWS Landscaping was nothing short of excellent. While it took a few months for…read moreme to decide to hire them, Josh, the Landscaping supervisor, was patient, professional and communicated very well with me. The two landscapers that came, Vlad and Turner, were not only knowledgeable, but extremely hard working and you could tell that they had passion for their craft. I would hire BWS Landscaping again in a second and I recommend anyone in the Richmond and especially my neighbors in the Church Hill area to hire them for their landscaping expertise. Thank you BWS for turning my front yard and backyard into something we are proud of showing. We've gotten several compliments since you finished the job.

I'm very disappointed with my experience with Marshall's Lawn. Last fall, I contacted them about…read moreaeration and planting, and after doing a soil analysis, they specifically recommended Bermuda grass. I was told that Bermuda needs to be planted in the spring and to reach back out at the start of spring 2026. I followed their instructions and contacted them right away (today 3/23/26) since spring began this past weekend, only to be told they can't fit me in until the fall--which completely contradicts what I was originally told about the proper timing for Bermuda grass. To make matters more frustrating, I was then told I should have called 6-8 weeks ago and they could have done it, even though that directly conflicts with their original guidance. Overall, this experience has been very frustrating due to the inconsistent information and lack of follow-through. I was ready to move forward based on their recommendations, but unfortunately, they did not stand by what they initially told me.

They completed the project in one day, and they even straightened up some of the brick borders, which was beyond what they agreed to.
