“Groundswell designed and built our front steps, front walkway and front plantings (spring 2020). The design is unique and tasteful and in keeping with the style of the house. The owner, Shane, knows his plants well and selected a beautiful assortment of plantings that are growing very nicely; many of them native, which we had asked for. The crew was hardworking and showed up everyday and on time. Shane was very responsive and knowledgeable. We are very happy with the outcome and will likely hire them to do future jobs..”

“We reached out to Shane and Groundswell Landscape this past fall/winter because we knew our small, L-shaped yard could be much more enjoyable. We had a rough idea of what we wanted: an additional patio and fire pit, plantings that could thrive in the shade of a large maple tree in our backyard, and a retaining wall along the edge of our yard. We spoke with several companies but all were primarily interested in the hardscaping and only briefly touched on the plantings or overall design. Shane was completely different. He saw the yard, heard our vision, and instantly started sharing ideas of how we could bring it to life. He sketched it out and we spent several weeks going back and forth to get it just right, including making amendments that would help us manage the overall cost. He shared details on which plants he would use, the colors when they bloom, and how they’d all come together. He scheduled us in for May and as the time approached he reached back out to coordinate everything. The on-site team was professional, courteous, and always left a clean job site at the end of each day. The work speaks for itself, from the custom retaining wall, to the fire pit and patio, to the stepping stone walkway through beautiful plantings, to the sod that has taken root. He even laid the drip line irrigation for us after we decided we didn’t want a sprinkler system installed, and gave clear directions for how to water the plants and sod (over the first few weeks, months and beyond). Shane is super responsive to email/text, and was flexible as we changed some of our decisions mid-way through the planning process (including in adding sod at the last minute). We would 100% recommend Groundswell Landscape and if we ever need landscaping done in the future, we will be reaching out to Shane!..”

“Shane at Groundswell Landscape Design definitely stood out compared to the other landscape companies we talked to about our backyard pool/patio project. He was professional, thorough and collaborative in his approach throughout the process, provided drawings and an in person review of his plan/drawings which we really appreciated. His crew during construction was excellent and hard working. Shane was on site frequently and always in contact with us to provide updates. He listened to our ideas and brainstormed with us for future phases of our project, and will be starting phase two in the spring. I cannot recommend him highly enough!! ..”

“Shane and his team are true professionals. From the initial design help to installation, everyone was excellent to work with..”
