How We Work

Fewer jobs, done well, at the time they actually work.

The Ground Guy isn't a weekly mowing route. Work is planned around the season: weed prevention before weeds sprout, seeding when new grass can take hold, cleanups whenever your yard needs a reset. Keeping the schedule selective means every property gets full attention.

Timed to the season

Each service shows when it's best done, so you can plan ahead instead of guessing.

The owner on every job

The person who walks your property and quotes the job is on site doing the work, every time.

Licensed applicator

Weed prevention and fertilizer applications are handled properly and safely.

“I cannot say enough positive things for Clay and his work! … We have a large yard (2 acres) and Clay took it on. He cleaned up all the leaves, branches, cut back bushes, trees and weeds, tore down ivy, edged flower beds and walkways … He was always on the job early and very communicative. He also gave us a detailed estimate which really helped us understand where the money and his time was going.”
