"Our experience with Grounded Landscape Design was incredible from start to finish. Our project was complex - basically an entire overhaul of our large backyard including a pond, patio, deck, yard space and pathways. From the get-go we knew that they were the right company for our job. The designer’s vision and ideas are like no other landscape architect that we met with previously. I really cannot say enough positive things about our experience from start to finish. Our final outcome is amazing and we spend as much time outside as we can. Grounded took our outdated, uninviting space and turned it into an oasis! We can't wait to work with them on our next project and recommend them highly for any outdoor project you might have!"

"Grounded designed a stunning new yard for our corner lot that literally STOPS traffic coming into our neighborhood. We wanted to get rid of our grass and make our property stand out and be less wasteful of water and boy, did they deliver! With natural accents of a dry streambed with an organic log placed next to it and an old-growth stump, the new yard is a showpiece that elevates our home into something special."

"Grounded designed and installed a big overhaul of our front yard and we are utterly delighted. Their artistic vision was perfect for this area. Grounded was on time, diligent, has the best crew ever to do a project for us. They installed walls, a terraced area, transplanted plants, planted trees and bushes and flowers. We have yet to see the full effect as everything will grow and flower next summer but can hardly wait. The details were perfectly done. The place is transformed. In the spring we will do the back! The designer is an artiste!"

"We hired Grounded Landscape Design to design & install a new back yard. Our designer was a very friendly individual who worked with us to come up with an innovative design which was attractive, eye-catching and surprisingly within our budget. Grounded’s installation personnel were conscientious, very careful and extraordinarily friendly. The finished product is amazing - trees, plants, lighting and a water feature all expertly installed and pleasing to the eye. We highly recommend Grounded to anyone who wants a creatively designed, well-installed landscaping experience. We will assuredly use them when we decide to do our front yard!"

"This is a follow-up letter to let you know how pleased we have been with the results of our landscaping project. The retaining wall and plantings have made a big difference in our yard. It was a very pleasant experience working with our designer. He brought some excellent ideas and was able to accommodate changes mid project, because of our desires. He was professional, knowledgeable and flexible. Not only was it a pleasure to work with him, but the entire crew was outstanding…We are glad to have had this experience. Should we have further landscaping needs in the future, we will be sure to call. Now we can relax and enjoy our new back yard for the summer."

"[Grounded], you have succeeded in doing exactly what we discussed at the outset...retain as many original materials and plants as possible while softening the very hard edges of a modern residential exterior. The curves of the walkway set off the house and property perfectly, the elevations of the walk are handled expertly with the new stair steps, and the punctuation of the rocks and boulders are just the right adjectives for transition from drive to entry. We really appreciate your nearly impossible to find acumen with form and setting...I think it is usually described as genius."

"I hired Grounded to create a design for our big front yard. We wanted to remove the lawn and convert the space into a natural, attractive, low maintenance front garden that would provide year-round pleasure for us and passers-by. The designer created a beautiful plan, listening well to our preferences for plant types and other garden elements. His design is a creative combination of color, scent and visual effects. I'd be thrilled to recommend Grounded for any landscape design projects."

"Here is what you get with Grounded - Landscape Design: 1. Honesty, will tell you what to expect, review everything, and communicate if there is a hiccup; 2. Creativity, his integration of the old and the new was pure genius; 3. Timeliness, finished on time--what a concept; 4. Knowledge, made some very nice suggestions that would not have occurred to me. I am an amateur gardener. 5. Communication, always available and great listener, will explain everything; 6. Budgetary realism, he creates an accurate estimate and is able to explain where it all goes. He will also stick to a budget!"

"Thanks so much for the amazing job you did on the backyard. The designer took the few vague ideas we had and within minutes had drawn up a design that incorporated those ideas as well as features we could never had dreamed of. The concept and the quality of materials and plants were beyond our expectations. He is a true professional…The before and after pictures say it all. We love our new backyard."

"I can't say enough good things about Grounded Landscape. The designer came for a consultation and right away he understood our vision. His goal was to give us a multi-use, easy to maintain outdoor space, while also giving our son a fun place to adventure and play. Our designer was easy to work with and listened to our needs. The crew were friendly and courteous, always on time, and took real pride in their work. The attention to detail was top notch! We are so thrilled with the results. I have nothing but praise for Grounded. Job well done, and money well spent!"
