  • We provide a range of turf services for your home:

    • Dethatching Lawn — By breaking up the layers of stems and roots entangled on the surface of your soil, this service ensures that moisture can get to your lawn’s roots.
    • Top Dressing Lawn — We’ll add a thin layer of nutrient-rich topsoil over your lawn to improve the soil content without harming your existing turf.
    • Aeration — Producing small plugs (holes) in your soil, we will prevent compaction and promote better circulation of air and water.

    Our team has the special equipment necessary to handle top dressing and dethatching your lawn efficiently. We’ll ensure your turf doesn’t deteriorate over time. After we’re done, you’ll have a healthy, great-looking lawn.

  • White speech bubble with a star in the middle against a green background.

    The Grounds Guys do a phenomenal job. They did a major cleanup of my yard, installed new sod, laid stone, shells, and mulch, planted new Areca palms and flowers, rerouted some sprinklers, and created a flagstone path to the backyard, and all of it was down with meticulous care, attention to detail, and skill. The Guys are friendly, professional, and just a delight to deal with. They offered good suggestions for improving the yard and have communicated clearly throughout the process. I can’t recommend them enough.

    The team at Grounds Guys was so helpful in getting started, providing us a quote and even revising the quote when we changed our preferences. The team who came out was so quick and efficient and our yard looks great! Highly recommend!
