Both jobs were and are being done as agreed to and they are doing a very good job. They are on a routine and they do a very efficient job that looks great and they make sure to clean up . I would highly recommend them.

II have used them for irrigation. They did that last Fall. I haven't had them this year. They are awesome. The price was very reasonable. They have always been really good about communicating. They send an email and just say hey, we're gonna be in the area and if you want to be included, let us know and we'll add you into the schedule. I would say A across the board. For sure I will continue to use them.

I've called just randomly before to get like the lawn mowed and things like that because I was out of town, and they just figure out a way to fit me into their schedule and get it done. I like that they would allow me to call them and do like an ad hoc appointment. So in other words, they didn't require that I set up a monthly or weekly reoccurring service. They'll do just like a one-of project.  I would say A across the board. I will definitely continue to use them.

In addition to plowing my driveway, Grounds Crew shovels my steps. They arrive promptly and do a very good job of plowing, right down to the cement. We had very little snow this year but they did keep the driveway clean, coming out times when I didn't think we had had enough snow to warrant their service. I appreciate that.

This is the fourth year using Grounds Crew fr snow plowing.  Have had no problems.  Show up promptly after snow ends and does a good job of clean up.  Impressed enough to also use them to do some small landscaping work last Spring which also worked out well.

Great, Scott got back to me within a week with a reasonable quote for the season, we worked out a payment plan and they have plowed twice so far. They do an excellent job. I also was given a phone# I can call or text after hours for emergencies. I'm optimistic that I will get good service all season.

Grounds Cew did an excellent job.  They were professional and quick, and were able to fit us in right away even though it wasn't particularly convenient for them.  We would definitely use them again for this kind of work.

Scott and his business get an A++! My husband is out of town until Friday, our snowblower is broken and I'm pregnant and unable to move the heavy amount of snow that had built up over the weekend. Scott was able to get someone out to our house last minute to plow our driveway after a long weekend away. I would HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone looking for great service.

I went with them personal because they're fairly close to me which is kind of important when you're dealing with snow and I had seen them in the neighborhood doing others so I knew they would be out this way. The do a good job and they're very quickly. They will at least do a path for you to get out and then they come back and they will finish up if it's a huge storm, they know you want to get going and then they come back and finish it up but they will get you out for sure. They have different contracts for you. You can do by snow fall or you can do by season.

I called to get a quote on getting our driveway plowed due to the heavy
snow. Scott was at our house in less than 10 minutes! He was really
nice, friendly, and professional. We did not really call around for
pricing but his price seems fair for the season. This was extremely
prompt service and I was impressed.

They are very service oriented and easy to deal with. I would say on the negative side, they are not always great with follow up and follow through. That may be because I may have called the wrong squad and they have two squads in the company.

Previous years vacation plowing done by another contractor was less expensive but always seemed late in getting the job done after end of snowfall. I hired Grounds Crew for February and March plowing service after I got tired of blowing snow myself and needed a vacation. They were prompt in getting the job done. 'i'll be more proactive next winter and get multiple bids including Grounds Crew.

Grounds Crew has been very punctual every time we've had snow. They do a great job and have been very careful not to disturb anything on our driveway or garage.

My snow removal person couldn't handle the big snow storm on Dec 11th weekend with just a shovel. I had called my neighbor to see if he would plow my driveway when his contracted person came back for a second sweep of his property. The snow removal company agreed. After being stuck in my house for 3 days and still not plowed out, I started calling A-rated snow removal companies from the LIST. Out of several, I got one call back who couldn't do it and another I reached directly who does the neighbor's snow removal across the street told me to call him back in 5 hours. I then reached one of Ground's Crew Outdoor Services' ownes, Scott Martinson. He couldn't have been kinder. Even though he usually doesn't come this far east and even though his guys had but one hour of sleep, he promised they would be here in about an hour. Sure enough, bobcat and shovels in hand, they had me plowed out in no time. They were all so very kind to help me out. P.S. I'd had surgery just 3 weeks earlier on my right hand and was in a cast up to my elbow! I would recommend this company to anyone in the western suburbs. A++

After record breaking snowfall, when no one else would return my phone calls, Grounds Crew called me back within a matter of hours. Understanding what snow removal businesses had been dealing with for days, I only expected to get on the bottom of the list and be plowed-out in a few days, but I was plowed-out the very next day.

Many of my neighbors use snow clearing services and two things I noticed between my neighbor's services and Grounds Crew: Grounds Crew cleared our driveway faster (and our driveway is much larger than any of our neighbors) and they did a way better job of it. We were very pleased. I've never considered using a snow service before, but would totally consider using them. If you are reading this your search is over, give them a call. I am very critical of all services and I would rate them top notch. Very professional. Great guys. I also wouldn't think twice about hiring them for fall cleanup after seeing the thorough job they did. I will be recommending them to all of my neighbors.

We've been using Grounds Crew Outdoor Services for snow removal and they've been doing an excellent job so far. We've only used them one time so far but it's been going well. The only complaint I have so far is their punctuality. They've only come once so far when we had our first snowing and they were late, so we will have to see if this continues through the winter season.
Response from Grounds Crew Outdoor Services
"Unfortunately it is difficult to be as quick as normal when we have 10 plus inches of wet heavy snow with ice underneath. In general our timing is excellent, but extreme conditions can slow us down."

Scott replied immediately to my request for an estimate, unlike many of the others that I contacted. I think I had an estimate that same day. We agreed on a price and Scott said he would bill me after we returned home. The person watching our house said they did a good job, however I do not know how their punctuality was since we weren't around. When we got back we thought they did a nice job. Scott sent a bill a few weeks after snow season was done. I'm sure we will use them again.
