    Trying to sell our house, had a general clean up. Scott came out and gave us great advice on how to make some simple cost effective changes to up our curb appeal! Angela was prompt with all invoices, setting up the appointment, and communicating with us! Definitely will do work with our new house in the future!

    The Grounds Guys of Garner took care of our townhome community this year and it's the best year our yard has seen in our 9 years of living here :) Brett was especially helpful, kind and went above and beyond (our kid also got a kick out of the riding aerator). We are very grateful for them!

    I've been a Grounds Guys of Garner lawn maintenance customer for over a year and they've always done a great job, but then I had a special project I needed help with. The ground around my propane tank fill pipe was causing problems. Two different propane gas companies quickly looked at it an one suggested I raise the propane tank ($$$,$$$,$$$). Scott from Grounds guys of Garner came out at my request for a quote, and actually took the time to identify the real problem. He could have quoted a solution, but since he took the time to really figure out the problem he let me know I needed a new filler cap that a different company would need to provide. Given the season, this almost felt like a Gimbles and Macys, Miracle on 34th Street situation, sending business to the better solution at the expense of his own company. Scott and Grounds Guys of Garner are the "good guys" of Garner. Thanks Scott.

    Grounds Guys has been taking care of our neighborhood, Courtyards at Andrews Chapel, for almost 5 years. Management and our site representatives are very easy to contact, easy to deal with, and provide prompt responses to our needs. The crew is always polite and respectful of property. Our Bermuda grass is lush and green. Grounds Guys contract is for mowing, edging, blowing, pruning, and mulch. Other services such as tree removal, planting, and concrete are completed upon request. We will continue to contract with Grounds Guys in 2026

    The Grounds Guys of Garner handle our lawn care needs through our HOA. I was temporarily put on the "do not treat" list per my request, but about 4-6 weeks ago I requested to be removed from this list and have the HOA treatments by the Grounds Guys re-instated. A very nice young man with the Grounds Guys, Brett, was treating my neighbors yard and I asked if he had also done mine. He told me I was on the "do not treat" list. When I told him I was supposed to be removed from that list over a month ago, he immediately called into the company and took the necessary steps to resolve this issue so that he could treat my yard. I feel he went above and beyond to take care of me, which I truly appreciated. He could easily have said it would be something I would have to follow up on, which would have most likely meant I would have missed this treatment. THANK YOU BRETT FOR CARING ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS!!

    I had been dreading dealing with my acre of fallen oak leaves, but the Ground Guys came out and formed a line with their backpack blowers and just made a big wave of leaves, moving across the yard and into the woods! Amazing to watch! Done in an hour! Yard looks fantastic and green, just in time for spring. Great service and communication with Alyssa, fast quote from Scott, they got the job on the books right away, and the crew showed up as scheduled !!! Highly Recommend!!!

Even though my home landscape needs are small compared to many of the homes in North Raleigh, when I met with the owner to discuss my needs, he made me feel like I was a valued customer right from the start. He listened to my needs and concerns, was prompt in providing a reasonable cost for the work, followed through with a schedule, completed the work in the time frame promised, and the end result exceeded my expectations!

    I was looking to get my back yard cleaned up after moving into a new house. There was a lot of work to be done, so I reached out to Ground Guys for an estimate. Within a day Justin came to see what needed to be done and provided an estimate with plenty of options. His team was out here in another two days and got my back yard into tip top shape. I really can't recommend these guys enough! The price was more than fair, the work was incredible and everyone was super friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend Ground Guys!

Frequently Asked Questions About Landscape Design in Raleigh, NC

As an industry leader, The Grounds Guys are committed to using our 20+ years of lawn care and landscape knowledge and experience to help bring the vision for their property to life. This includes answering your questions about landscape and lawn care services. Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about landscape design.

  • Our landscape design process kicks off with a consultation and on-site evaluation. Concept sketches are then created, adjusted through revisions, and finalized with detailed selections of plants and materials. Typically, projects go from concept to installation in 1—6 weeks, based on scale and season. Your package may include a measured base map, planting plan, material specs, lighting and irrigation notes, and 2D or 3D renderings for clear visualization of the landscaping design. For landscape design in Raleigh, NC, local climate, soil, and codes shape the plan and timeline. Permits, HOA approvals, and sourcing custom materials can extend a project by 2—6 weeks, while simpler projects using common materials can move along much quicker. Once all documents are ready, The Grounds Guys can provide a quote and set a date for the landscape installation. Crew availability may depend on weather and supplier lead times, with installations sometimes scheduled seasonally for the best outcome.

  • Budget affects everything from material selection to project timeline. Whether you’re investing in premium natural stone or choosing cost-effective concrete alternatives, thoughtful planning during landscape installation ensures beautiful, functional results. Smart planning considers both upfront costs and ongoing expenses. Drought-tolerant plants reduce water bills, while low-maintenance designs minimize long-term care costs. If your budget is tight, start with the basics: grading, drainage, and safe walkways. Aesthetic improvements can come in stages. Installing sod, for example, can instantly enhance curb appeal while larger features are saved for a future phase. Local knowledge makes every dollar work harder. Understanding landscape design in Raleigh, NC, helps avoid costly mistakes with plant selection, material choices, and permitting requirements. Our service professionals leverage this expertise to maximize your investment.

  • Maintenance requirements for your landscape depend on the design complexity and materials selected during your landscaping design process. Fresh sod installation requires intensive care during establishment, including frequent watering and protection from heavy traffic, with regular mowing, fertilization, and seasonal treatments needed once established. Most hardscape surfaces need periodic cleaning and occasional sealing to maintain appearance and prevent damage. The landscape design approach significantly impacts ongoing care needs. Native plant selections and quality hardscape materials typically require less maintenance than exotic plants or budget materials that need frequent replacement. Professional landscape designers understand the long-term care requirements of different materials and plants used in landscape design in Raleigh, NC. We’ll explain maintenance expectations upfront and can provide ongoing care services to keep your investment looking its best year after year.

  • Yes, there are many eco-friendly options available through thoughtful landscaping design! Native plants, rain gardens, and permeable paving materials create beautiful landscapes while supporting local ecosystems. Smart landscape installation includes water-efficient irrigation systems, organic mulches, and soil improvement techniques that work with nature instead of against it. Sustainable sod installation using native grass varieties requires less water and fertilizer while providing the same lush appearance you want for your outdoor space. A knowledgeable landscape designer can guide you through eco-friendly choices that fit your style and budget. Using local materials, creating wildlife habitats, and incorporating composting areas into your landscaping design helps support healthy ecosystems while reducing maintenance needs. The design in landscape approach affects environmental impact significantly. Professional landscape designers understand how to balance ecological responsibility with aesthetic appeal, creating outdoor spaces that benefit both you and the planet through smart landscape design in Raleigh, NC.

  • We handle comprehensive project management for your landscaping design, including everything from site preparation, demolition, and grading work to final cleanup and project completion. We coordinate all elements of design in landscape construction to ensure proper integration and quality results. Our service professionals manage everything from excavation and utility work through sod installation and final plantings. This comprehensive approach eliminates the need to coordinate multiple contractors and ensures consistent quality throughout. We take complete responsibility for delivering cohesive results that reflect your vision and meet our craftsmanship standards.
