I hired Groundshog to fix some ongoing drainage issues around our townhome, including poor downspout drainage, sagging concrete, and overall bad water flow. From the start, the process was straightforward and smooth.My contact was reliable and communicative. Everything was clearly explained up front, they showed up when they said they would, and there were no surprises. Because of that, the project never turned into something stressful.The crew was great — hardworking, professional, and clearly knew what they were doing. They moved efficiently and took care of the property while they worked.At the end, the lead took the time to explain what was done and why, and didn’t rush through it, even when I had a bunch of questions.The finished result made a real difference. We now have a proper sidewalk along the side of our house, and the drainage from the downspouts is finally handled correctly. No more downspout extensions crossing the walkway or creating a safety issue.Overall, Groundshog did exactly what they said they would do. Solid work, good communication, and a smooth experience from start to finish. I’d absolutely recommend them
From start to finish Groundshog has been excellent. From my 1st phone call to Joe and then with David and his site crews the process was smooth. Communication was fantastic and the quality of work was far above what most would do.We had to replace a sewer line that included the destruction of our walkway and a large section of the front yard being torn up. Once the plumbers were done David has their crew out to prep for the replacement of the walkway. The fact that they used rebar to dowel in to the existing concrete and they used wire mesh and rebar in the new walkway prep - you don’t see companies doing that these days!They completed the work in just a few days from concrete removal to forming up the new walkway and then the install of the sod.You won’t go wrong using Groundshog!
Groundshog Landscaping installed a paver driveway after removing our old asphalt driveway. David Snyder their sales manager was great to work with and generated several computer images of what the driveway would look like that helped us visualize the finished job. The same crew worked the project through some very cold days in December. They worked hard and were quite competent and meticulous in laying the pavers. The finished driveway looked just like the computer representation. We really love the finished product. The crew went beyond the contract and added mulch to the new bed that was created at the end of the driveway. Their cleanup at the end of the job was quite thorough. We've been in this house 27 years and never had a firm that was so easy and pleasant to work with and that did what they said they would. Despite coming across some unexpected items (like a 18 foot deep pit under the old driveway that they had to fill in) there were no add-ons to the contract. We also liked that the firm is local, which made the logistics easier. Finally, the crew practiced good safety including always wearing hearing protection when operating noisy equipment. We would hiring them again in a heartbeat if other projects come up.
What a great company! We contracted with Groundhog for a fairly complex & unusual job, restoring and creating order in our historic parish cemetery. All the staff were very professional. We could tell they sincerely cared about the project. That personal investment really mattered. The results were outstanding -- preparation, measuring, layout, stonework, grading, planting: all done sensitively, and with a good eye for a handsome & lasting end result. Joe Coates leads an excellent team. We are grateful to have worked with Groundshog.
Groundshog Landscaping did an outstanding job on our new driveway and paver border. The crew was professional, detail-oriented, and worked efficiently from start to finish. They completed the project on time, within a reasonable budget, and the results look fantastic. The new pavers add a clean, finished look, and the grading was done perfectly. Communication was clear throughout, and the team clearly takes pride in their work.Highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality landscaping and reliable service.
