What Our Clients Say...
Ruger, the project manager was courteous, knowledgeable and professional. The crew was hard working and efficient. The office staff and administrators were accessible and helpful. We had a positive experience and we were very happy with the outcome.
Groundsmith is the BEST landscaping maintenance company I have used for 6 years now. When we first moved to Westerville, I was very disappointed in every company I used. They did not show up when they promised, and then made up excuses not to return for a few weeks due to weather. But, Groundsmith arrives each time they promised or scheduled, even if it sprinkles....as long as its not a down power. They mow perfectly, and when asked, they trim the shrubs perfectly. I am very, very pleased with Groundsmith, and so glad I found them. Carol Harris, Highland Lakes, Westerville, Ohio
I had a fairly large design build landscape/hardscape project that Groundsmith did for me. It included patio and landscaping around our house, pool, and barn. We also did some fertilizing and grass "rebooting". It was amazing how much I got done with one phone call. The suggestions and pricing were sensible and easy to understand. The leadership of Groundsmith has excellent values and it shows in how they treat their customers and employees. The crew was professional, responsive, on time, and addressed any questions or concerns promptly. I consider these guys my friends and look forward to having them take care of my landscape needs for years to come. Great Work Groundsmith!
Great company and good people that work for groundsmith. They have competitive pricing and a variety of services. Would recommend.
After many months of planning with my husband, I saw a landscaping truck at my neighbors house and decided to call and see if GroundSmith could help with what my husband and I were thinking about. GroundSmith is an incredible company and I am so pleased to recommend them to anyone who is in need of landscape help. They built a beautiful retainer wall for us. It was an absolute pleasure working with them from the planning stage to the completion. Their employees are VERY customer focused and professional! Thank you GroundSmith!!
We researched several landscaping companies and decided on Groundsmith. They did not disappoint! Todd is always very responsive, and the crew spent 8 hours in the hot sun doing summer cleanup after we moved in. Because of their hard work and reasonable pricing, we will be making Groundsmith our go-to for all landscaping maintenance and seasonal cleanup.
We've used Groundsmith for our ongoing lawn and landscape maintenance, and we've always been very pleased with their work. We often get compliments from friends and neighbors on how nice our yard looks. Highly recommend this service!
Todd and his crew are timely, meticulous, friendly, and well-priced! We have had a great experience with GroundSmith and would recommend them to anyone!
Groundsmith did some landscaping for us when we moved into a new home. We were very impressed with the quality of the work and the materials used. The job was done quickly and professionally. I would recommend them for any landscaping project.
We have lived in our home in Dublin for 10 years and I have had 4 different landscapers; GroundSmith has been the best! The customer service is fantastic, they quickly respond to any request and will communicate when issues arise. In the past I had landscapers skip a week or two and never let me know when they were coming next and then charge me for the missed the mow. If GroundSmith has a weather delay they let you know, they will also address any issues they see in your yard. But there is more...we hired them to do a 60 foot paver walkway to the rear of our home from the driveway. I was so please with the work and level of detail I hired them to put in a paver patio and walkway to our new Hot Tub. Again, being thrilled with their work we had them build a paver fire pit. Our YARD looks awesome! I then needed to fix my front concert walkway; I had them remove the old walkway and install a new paver walkway to the front door along with replacing much of the landscaping. If you want a job done right hire GroundSmith. I enjoyed the personal service I received as I was dealing with a family owned business who wants to do it right. I was not just a number, I was treated like a friend.
We have had other companies in the past and haven’t had good results. Groundsmith is professional, courteous and they didn’t push any services that we didn’t need. They are competitively priced and the results and process is great. I recommend them to all my neighbors.
I was thrilled to discover GroundSmith since they offer a variety of services and are a family owned business. We started using them to cut down the ornamental grasses. Because of the timely and quality work, we hired them for our Spring clean up and mulch. It was nice to hear they also offered tree trimming, fertilizing and aeration work. It's a one stop business for all your outdoor landscaping needs.
I came across GroundSmith on a referral from a friend. Our yard had struggled since we bought the house but they got it in order very quickly. Appreciate the hard work!

Questions About Landscape Design?
We've tried to answer some of the most common questions our customers ask about landscape design.
2D designs are flat, blueprint-style layouts of your landscape plan. They're great for understanding layout and space. 3D designs, however, offer a lifelike visualization of what the final project will look like, including textures, colors, and how the space feels.
Absolutely! We can incorporate existing elements such as trees, structures, or favorite plants into the new design, ensuring a seamless blend of old and new.
In Ohio, sustainable and eco-friendly landscaping trends are gaining popularity. This includes native plant gardens that require less water, natural stone or paver hardscaping, and outdoor living spaces like kitchens and fire pits for year-round enjoyment.
Yes, strategic landscape design can enhance privacy. We use elements like fencing, privacy hedges, and strategically placed trees and shrubs to create a natural barrier while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your property.
The time to create a landscape design plan varies based on the project's complexity. For most residential projects in Ohio, it can take anywhere from a 7-10 days. This allows us to thoroughly understand your needs and carefully plan each detail.
Absolutely! Your feedback is crucial. After presenting the initial design, we welcome your input and will make revisions to ensure the plan meets your vision. We typically allow for a set number of revisions within the project scope to refine the design to your satisfaction.
Several factors influence material choice: aesthetic preferences, maintenance requirements, durability, and budget. In Ohio, we also consider the local climate and the material's ability to withstand seasonal changes.
In landscape design, flexibility is key. If unexpected challenges arise, such as site constraints or material availability, we communicate these promptly and provide alternative solutions. Our experience allows us to adapt and find creative ways to overcome such challenges.
