As usual Grunder Landscape did an excellent job on our fall cleanup. Even with the rainy conditions they took their time and the backyard looks great and ready for winter,
Kent Sholder and his team did a great job with some rearranging of landscaping on our new build. We used another company for the original work. Two years living there and we didn’t feel like things looked clean, spaced out or had any pop. They are extremely professional and very well trained employees. Looking forward to having Grunder back for work each season.
Grunder installed a flag pole and exterior lights on our home. I cannot say nicer things about the team who did the work. They were incredibly kind and went above and beyond to make our landscaping better than we had it. Grunder helped us navigate between multiple parties and were a joy to work with along the way. I look forward to more opportunities to work with them.
We had Grunder redo our backyard privacy trees last autumn. Brent and his team designed the new layout, cleaned out our old trees and poison ivy, and put in our new trees in just a few days. The results were/are fantastic. In addition, they have been very responsive to our questions and in making sure the trees are healthy. 10/10, highly recommend, would use again!
Edit: We just had our backyard redone by a different landscaping company and the amount of work they had to put into our yard vs. what Grunder did was insane, so I wanted to give this review one last update.The new company quickly found out that about 2 feet under our ground is a cement like layer of soil that they couldn’t get through. This layer also retains water and was a big reason our house flooded last year. The new company had to install a cement patio with a very large retaining wall and SEVEN dry wells to fix it. Grunder was either completely unaware of this or didn’t tell me about it.They also had to reslope our backyard and fix Grunder’s mistakes with their drainage system. We’ve had several heavy rains since it was finished and the new system works great.Grunder barely did half of that and charged nearly the same price. And their design actually caused more water to flow into the area that retains water because there was no drainage out of my yard.I cannot recommend enough to stay away from this company.Some additional info: After inspecting the lawn further, I have found yet another issue. The drains in the yard are all in the middle of the yard, not the edge of the yard where they need to be. The whole yard is sloped. At the bottom, it slopes up the other way, not allowing the water out of the yard. The water then flows to the basement door which is why we knew we needed the work done.(see pictures). I do not know what they were thinking.Full review below——————————————————————————I highly recommend avoiding this business. Their designs leave a lot to be desired and they don’t back their work that they do if it’s faulty.Update: The solution that is mentioned below turned out to be warranty work. Which is fine, but that wasn’t my complaint. My complaint was the design.They did offer to draw up a new design I could pay for, but I declined. I do not trust them enough to pay for any more of their services.The retaining wall they installed originally to mitigate the water did nothing to help in the slightest. This is a design flaw. This is what I thought would be the focus for a solution.Not to mention there were several additional services that should have been offered to mitigate the water, but they were overlooked in the design phase. If I come to a landscaping business and say “I have water problems in my yard,” one would expect the whole yard to be analyzed. Hindsight’s 20/20 but it still stands that all of the yard should have been analyzed.I never intended to ask for anything from the business. I just posted my review to share my experience with it. If all that would be offered is warranty work, I’d rather have been told that up front. I would have moved on, rather than put more time into this.Truly disappointed with my experience, will not use again.——————————————————————————Had drainage installed around this time last year. Spring came and it rained heavy on a number of days. Our drainage system was full in a day and took weeks to a month to go down. We had this installed to prevent a flood, but it did nothing. So our house flooded a lot and it kept coming because the drainage wasn’t draining. I spent almost a week remediating the situation. And that’s not considered the price of the issue fix, which was triple what I paid for the landscaping.
