Bill and his crew were amazing! We built an addition on the back of our home and inadvertently created lots of drainage problems on our property. We had flooding around our foundation and even water getting into the crawl space. Bill came out, assessed the situation and proposed several solutions for us to choose from. He left and within hours we received a detailed quote. We were happy with the price and thoroughly impressed with the work that was done. They created a swale with drainage boxes and pipes to take water around and away from the house. They used rock, mulch, straw and grass seed as needed to address each area of concern. We have had rain a couple of times since the project was completed and have not worried at all about flooding around our foundation. I know I can only give 5 stars but 10/10, recommend!

Bill and his team transformed our rear property. They planted bushes to give us year round color, proposed the correct types of plant materials to use, installed irrigation systems to all the plantings and mulch. Very happy with the results. I would recommend them very highly!

Ground control completed a comprehensive landscaping project for me including removal of a massive hedge, burying drainage pipes, installation of sod, creation of new beds with a variety of shrubs, an irrigation system and installation of a paver patio and walkway. Iâ m very pleased with how beautiful my yard is. Iâ ve had many complements. I was impressed with how hard the team worked and how polite they all were. Chandler has been particularly helpful. I had confidence in Billâ s leadership and experience. One factor in choosing this company is the year guarantee on plants (insuring survival through all four seasons) compared to 90 days with another company I considered. Iâ ve also insured my investment with regular maintenance by Ground Control.

Bill and his team were so quick, informative, hard working and incredibly polite. I chose to work from home during several of the days and Bill was so great about keeping me informed throughout each step of the process and ensuring I was happy with the work. They also went above and beyond with drainage by pivoting mid-project to incorporate leaving our vents in place (originally we were going to cover them) and building extra drainage underneath the patio. As a first time homeowner I felt like he had my best interests at heart, and I feel very confident that this was a great long term investment. In addition to the patio, they installed drainage, removed several layers of old concrete, built in uplighting and stair lighting, removed and rebuilt a section of our fence, and reseeded our lawn

Wow! Bill and his staff have been fantastic! Ground Control landscaped the front, side and provided drainage system (a dry creek bed) in the backyard of our home. This project also included a new front and back irrigation system with drip zones as well. Bill listened to our thoughts about plants as well as adding suggestions for plants in sunny/shady environments and adding in creative ideas such as walkways, etc. The communications throughout the project have been handled professionally and promptly. I would highly recommend Bill and his staff. One last thought in closing this review, Bill seems to be much more interested in the QUALITY of his service than quantity. I will look forward to using Ground Control again.

Bill and his team at Ground Control were prompt and professional during all stages of our project. During the planning stage, we were given plant options that best suited our particular area (soil and shade issues). In addition to the plantings, Ground Control installed a new drip irrigation zone and took time to explain a proper maintenance plan to assure growth. Highly recommend Bill.

Ground Control completely landscaped my front, side and read grounds and they look fabulous. Bill, the owner, provides excellent customer service, is responsive to requests/questions, great communicator, creative and where possible reused existing shrubs rather than discard. The end results is superb, providing privacy and seclusion, a wide variety of plants, shrubs and flowers and superb ground lighting. The block pave pathways look great also. Bill's company does the weekly grounds maintenance as well as the irrigation systems and I have absolutely NO complaints! I highly recommend him.

cleaned up very good after project was completed. So far the ground has not washed away but we have not yet had any heavy rain. Will let you know after I see results after heavy rain.

I hired Ground Control to do a paver walkway from our fence to our back door. Bill was professional, knowledgeable, and competitive with his pricing, and we're extremely happy with the outcome of the project. Will definitely be hiring Ground Control for any future landscaping projects we do.

Ground Control of Carolinas resolved drainage issues in our backyard and performed some waterproofing on the foundation. The price was competitive and the work was completed quickly. There was excellent communication when new conditions arose, and Bill took the time to resolve a related irrigation system issue. The work and professionalism the team displayed was great and we would recommend his team for future work.
