My wife and I had a mess of a yard after having (2) new wells put in. I contacted Ground Affects to get an estimate on having final grading and seeding done to fix the mess that was left behind. From start to finish of the process I was impressed with Tom and his team. To start with, Tom showed up on time to our estimate appointment.

We couldn't be happier with our finished project by Ground Affects Landscaping. Our patios, sidewalk, planters, greenery and water feature are a page out of Better Homes and Gardens. They were very professional and a joy to work with.

They removed buckthorn, added soil, seeded the new lawn and also added a great extension to our front porch. Tom and his crew couldn't have been better. I would highly recommend them for your landscaping needs.

These guys were excellent to work with! Their hardscape and landscape designs were wonderful. They listened to what I was looking for and provided the beautiful natural bird/butterfly garden I dreamed of. The landscape foreman incorporated last minute requests without blinking an eye and had great suggestions and did little extras he saw fit. I would definitely use Ground Affects Landscaping again!

Ground Affects did a transformation of a large, overgrown front planter and a sunken lannon stone walkway, and we are very satisfied with the results. We were able to work directly with Tom, the owner, who was very professional and made sure we understood the proposal before the work was commenced. They were able to reuse many of our plants and remove the unwanted trees/shrubs. The crew did an excellent job in just a couple of days to transform the look of our front yard and drastically improve our curb appeal! We hope to use them again for future projects when they have availability (they are

These folks are incredibly good. Highly professional. Always on time. Affordable. They have taken care of our lawn for several years. Weed control and fertilization. Our lawn is beautiful due to their expertise. We also had Tom and his crew build a stone patio and a retaining wall at our residence. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. Very creative competent craftsmen.

I work for Winter Services and Ground Affects does snow removal services for a Post Office of ours. They are one of our best partners! We have not had one complaint from the Post office. They truly do provide the best service and I look forward to working with them again!

They are the absolute best! I live two hours away from my parents, due to health issues they need to be able to get to set appointments during the week and on snowy days I never have to worry about if this will be a challenge for them. I can’t say enough about the peace of mind I get from knowing they don’t ever need to worry about if they will be able to get out of the driveway after a snow storm. Thank you Ground Affects!

I would highly recommend Ground Affects Landscaping. Of all the bids we received, Ground Affects had the best plan at the best price. I can't say enough good things about the entire Ground Affects team. Very accommodating and listened to our concerns and are very hard workers. Always on time, always extremely polite and finished the job on time. I've recommended the Ground Affects team to friends and family and I will continue to recommend them. I plan to bring them back in the future.
