    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Grounds Guys are forever our grounds guys! I cannot recommend this team enough! They just finished a two-day project at our home, and the results are absolutely stunning. Eric, the man with the listening ear and vision, perfectly oversaw everything from start to finish. Skyler and Junior, the meticulous manpower, tore out our many overgrown beds and completely transformed them. Our satisfaction was always their top priority! A special shoutout goes to Marvin and his guys for tackling our giant honey locust, crusty crabapples, and out-of-control honeysuckles. The entire crew was professional, efficient, and incredibly detail-oriented. These projects couldn’t have gone, or turned out, any more perfect. If you are looking for a skilled, reliable, and hardworking landscaping company, look no further. The Grounds Guys are officially forever our grounds guys!

    Owner Response: It means a lot to see such a thoughtful recommendation.

    I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, their communication was outstanding. They kept me informed throughout the entire process, answered all of my questions promptly, and made sure I knew exactly what to expect. The turf renovation completely transformed my lawn. It went from tired and patchy to thick, lush, and an incredible shade of green. The attention to detail and quality of work really show, and it’s clear they take pride in what they do. If you’re looking for a company that delivers excellent customer service and top-quality lawn renovations, I highly recommend them. I’ll definitely be using them again.

    Grounds Guys are a great group of people. They are easy to communicate with when you want certain areas addressed. I would absolutely recommend this company. Gary D. I have a addition to my comments, one of the workers accidentally cut one of my hoses in the grass they notified me immediately the very next day, the owner of the company Davor personally delivered the hose to my front door. I don’t know many company hours would even do something like that!! Gary D.

    Owner Response: We truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback, Gary. It means a lot to us to know you find our team responsive and easy to communicate with, and we’re grateful you would recommend The Grounds Guys of McHenry. Thank you as well for mentioning how our team handled the hose accident and the follow-up—taking care of our customers is always a top priority.

    Ive been using this turf care system for a few months now, and the difference is night and day. My lawn has never looked this thick, green, or healthy. The application process was straightforward, and the products clearly use high-quality ingredients because I started seeing results much faster than with previous brands I’ve tried. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to level up their lawn care routine.

    After reading the many positive reviews online I decided to go with The Grounds Guys of McHenry for some landscaping projects. Davor, listened to our ideas, added his and we had a plan that addressed all of our needs. Communication was excellent, prompt responses with any questions that we had. The day of installation was hot and muggy. Through it all Skylar and Spencer worked tirelessly. They were both friendly and professional making it a pleasure to have them work our project. I would highly recommend The Grounds Guys of McHenry.

    Eric walked the yard with me and discussed various options for our very bare and open lawn in a newer development. He made suggestions and recommendations within the budget that I provided. He communicated with the very uninformed management group for our HOA, which is always a feat in and of itself. 🙄 The crew just finished the project yesterday, and they did a great job-very detailed. For example, they mulched all areas around the house, including an area in front that wasn’t part of the project so that all of the mulch matched. We are very pleased and will be looking forward to working with Eric and his crew on a Phase 2 next spring! 😊

    Owner Response: Michelle, it’s wonderful to hear how satisfied you are with the transformation of your lawn. We appreciate you highlighting the attention to detail and proactive communication that went into your project with The Grounds Guys of McHenry. Thank you for trusting us with your vision and for your kind words about our team’s efforts. We’re excited to help you bring Phase 2 to life next spring!

    We hired the Grounds Guys of McHenry to recommend a drainage solution for our gutters and sump pump, as we were collecting a lot of water near the perimeter of our home. Other companies recommended French Drains, however, Eric suggested a more comprehensive solution that combined French Drains with Dry Wells. This turned out to be brilliant, as it keeps water from flowing out the top of the drains unless we get an excessive amount of rain! The Grounds Guys use their own employees – not subcontractors – to perform the work (huge plus!). They left our lawn looking as good as they found it! They used a sod cutter in areas where they dug, so they could repair our lawn with our existing grass when they finished. One very minor issue – they accidentally cut through our Xfinity line. The owner, Devor, owned up to it and said they would cover the cost of repair. That is some real integrity right there! Our experience was excellent. Their prices are comparable to others in the area for the work being performed. They are pleasant, professional, and very responsive when you call. We will consider doing business with The Grounds Guys of McHenry for future projects.

    Owner Response: Chris, it’s great to hear the drainage solution worked out perfectly for your home and that the team was able to restore your lawn so well. We appreciate your thoughtful feedback about the process and your recognition of the way our team handled the situation with the utility line. Thank you for sharing your positive experience with The Grounds Guys of McHenry. We look forward to helping with any future projects!

    We are so happy with this service. We’ ve been with them for a year now. Our lawn looks great despite having lousy soil in this area. Crews are professional and dependable, show up when scheduled, and adjust their frequency based on the weather & need. Extra services are available a la carte and they are always well done too. At first we had some issues with EFT payments, but they were gracious and patient while we worked it out. Easy to use online dashboard keeps us up to date. I recommend them to anyone needing outdoor work.

    Owner Response: Thank you so much, P. Shearman, for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear how pleased you are with our service and that your lawn is thriving—especially given the challenging soil conditions. Our team prides itself on reliability, flexibility, and professionalism, so your feedback means a lot. We’re also glad we could work through the EFT setup together and that our online dashboard makes things easier for you. Your recommendation is truly appreciated. Thank you for trusting The Grounds Guys of McHenry with your outdoor needs!

    They did a great job with our mulching. Besides mulching our existing beds, they cut a new area for mulch around the perimeter of our house, and also cleaned out stones and piles of sod that were under our deck before leveling the area and adding mulch. Their service was timely and the price was reasonable.

    Owner Response: Thank you, Mark, for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that you were happy with the mulching project, including the new perimeter area and our thorough cleanup under the deck. Providing timely service and reasonable pricing is very important to us, and we’re glad we met your expectations. If you ever need anything else, we’re here to help. Enjoy your refreshed landscape!

    I’ve been working with Devor for several months now on various projects in my yard and he’s been wonderful about getting me timely and fair quotes. His team – Jerry, Jarold, and Noah – just came out to do some demolition and clearing work and did a fantastic job. They were quick and thorough. Devor is readily available and genuinely cares about whatever questions or concerns I have, which I so appreciate! Highly recommend!

    Owner Response: Thank you so much for the great review! It’s been a pleasure working with you on your projects. I’ll be sure to share your feedback with Jerry, Gerald, and Noah — they’ll appreciate it. Thanks for trusting us with your property and for the recommendation! 🙏🌱

    Today I want to give my stars to Jerry who mows for The Grounds Guys. I really appreciate the fact that he explained a lot about how they mow the lawns depending on the many factors that affect the grass. He was very knowledgeable and communicated very well. He also did a great job of mowing my lawn and leaving it looking perfect considering how leafy it was. He has been mowing here for most of the season and is a real asset to the company. Thank you for your sincerity, patience and consideration!

    Owner Response: Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re lucky to have Jerry on our team, and we’re glad he’s been taking great care of your lawn this season. We appreciate you!
