We recently hired Grounded Landscape Design for a backyard rockery project, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Chris and his team did an outstanding job from start to finish. Everything was completed exactly as promised — and even exceeded our expectations.

The pricing was fair and reasonable, with no surprises along the way. I met with Chris several times before, during, and after the project, and each time he arrived exactly at the scheduled time — minute to minute. That level of punctuality is truly rare these days and very much appreciated.

What impressed us even more was their commitment after the job was completed and paid for. They came back to add extra bark and do additional cleanup, going above and beyond what was expected.

The crew working in our backyard was extremely friendly, professional, and polite. Whenever I had a question, they would pause their work, explain what they were doing, and discuss the progress in detail. That level of communication made the entire experience smooth and stress-free.

I highly recommend Grounded Landscape Design. They are a reliable, trustworthy company that takes pride in their work.

We had great experience with the driveway and landscape project by Grounded Landscape Design. It was a complete replacement of our old driveway with pavers, rebuild of our backyard patio, and installation of all the landscape and lightings throughout. Initially, we were stressed out by the size of the project, and worried whether the project would be over our budget, and its disruption to our daily life. We were pleasely surprised by the result! The final outcome of the project by Grounded Landscape Design, driveway, patio and everything, look beautiful besides being very functional and serving our day-to-day needs. During the project, the Grounded Landscape Design team were very efficient and friendly. We really enjoyed working with Karen, who came up with the great design within our budget, with Francisco and the construction team who did a great work and always cleaned up after each day’s work. We would recommend Grounded Landscape Design highly!

We replace our old concrete driveway with pavers, replaced / improved retaining walls, walkways, hardscape and landscaping in our front yard . Added a staircase to our lower yard, as well as installing new exterior lighting for both our front and back yards. Our Grounded Landscaping Team (Kathryn - project manager / Francisco, Junior, and Sebastian) were a pleasure to work with. They developed a plan, drawings, budget and schedule that they maintained throughout the effort. It was also necessary to coordinate with another onsite contractor, which they did seamlessly. The team were efficient, friendly, informative, and cleaned up after each days efforts. This was great "value for money" and we are totally pleased with the final result. I would recommend Grounded Landscaping highly to anyone who needs work done.

After the removal of several huge Douglas Fir trees that were taking the hillside down with them, we hired Grounded Landscape Design to help us build a proper retaining wall, replace all of the fences, create a backyard full of durable raised beds for vegetables, plus a patio and walkways. Even though they initially promised two designs, Kathryn was so excited about our project that she gave us four, and helped us to land on a design that was like nothing we had even considered. The crew that performed the actual work was the same every day, and were incredibly tidy and respectful of our property throughout the entire build. Weekly meetings with the designer helped to keep us updated. When we hit little snags along the way (both unforeseen site challenges and miscommunications between the designers and crew), they always went above and beyond to figure things out and correct the issues, without complaint. At the end of the project they ensured we were satisfied, with several final walkthroughs, and sent the crew leader back right away to catch the one little detail that was missed. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. This was not the cheapest bid we received, but they came in on budget, and we have no regrets now that we're done, knowing that we got exactly what we wanted and just how great the entire crew was to work with.

They are truly brilliant designers. Ever since we bought our house we have been searching for ways to push back our retaining wall to get more usable space, but it just wasn’t feasible. We then decided to reach out to a few landscape architects to see if they could accommodate our dreams and needs for our backyard. We then found Grounded, and we were just blown away by their design.
They delivered on all of our requests and considered every small detail, from having very low maintenance plants to perfectly placed privacy trees to even plants that look good all year long (I certainly don’t have the time, knowledge or patience to see what can live in this climate and look good all year round).
Their crew was excellent, they put in so much hard work and were incredibly courteous. Communication throughout the project was excellent and they listened to any concerns we had and communicated any small adjustments they thought should be made. The final product was beyond our wildest dreams and we could not be happier with the results. They turned our hideous retaining wall we tried so hard to get rid of, into the shining star of our backyard! From the flow, to the layout, to the materials, it is our little piece of paradise now. It’s October and we are trying to find any bit of dry weather that we can to spend in our backyard oasis. We cannot recommend Grounded enough!
