“We first hired The Grounds Guys to cut down a huge oak tree that was dying. It was a massive task that was handled amazingly. The clean up top notch! We just finished our second job, complete front make over! It's absolutely beautiful! They went above and beyond! Again, the cleanliness was outstanding, you never knew they were there. They have the best customer service I've experience in a very long time! Just a hard working local family wanting to make their customers happy! I recommend 100%! Thank you for making the front of our home beautiful! Tonya S.”

“We hired The Grounds Guys to remove a tree from our backyard that was dying. The team was very efficient and polite! They even went above and beyond and helped us remove more sand from where we had picked up flagstone to add more grass. Would definitely recommend!”

“They have done Awesome! Couldn’t be more satisfied. They do a great job and very courteous”

“The Grounds Guys of Midland recently did a complete sod job for me, 3 pallets of Bermuda in the back yard and 5 pellets of St. Augustine in the front yard; they also removed my 30 year old tree rings that had been destroyed by live oak roots, and came back weeks later to rebuild the rings after the sod had a chance to take root. I don't often pay someone to do work for me but knew I couldn't do this job solo, so I took a chance and went with The Ground Guys of Midland, and was not disappointed. Billy is a straight shooting owner, does what he says, when he says, and has a great crew of guys working for him. The Grounds Guys crews were a hard working, respectful, and fun group of guys to interact with. I would highly recommend contacting the Grounds Guys of Midland for any of your landscaping or sod needs. Photos are of the sod 4-5 weeks post install the day the tree rings were built.”

“We hired The Grounds Guys for a full backyard makeover, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. They showed up when they said they would, communicated clearly, and provided detailed renderings so we could visualize the project ahead of time. The work included removing concrete, redoing irrigation, and installing pavers with turf integrated throughout. The crew was professional, efficient, and always cleaned up at the end of the day. The backyard looks amazing and completely transformed the space. If you’re looking for a company that shows up, and delivers, I highly recommend The Grounds Guys.”

“They were very quick and responsive to my requests. We talked through some ideas when Billy met me at the house for a walk through for no additional cost. Him and his wife provided very reasonable prices and when they completed our initial yard work, they were very detailed and cared about the quality of their work. Would recommend to anyone! If you have some yard work needed done and want to use a respectable small family owned business, this is the place!”

“Billy and his guys did a great job! We needed our front flowerbeds done. We didn’t know what we wanted and he was able to show us some different designs and we went from there. They were able to get it all done within a couple of weeks. We love it!”

“We have used The Grounds Guys for several different things (yard clean up, sprinkler repair, etc) and they have been great! They are very reliable and do excellent work. Highly recommend!”

“Have called them several times to come out and finish up the work I paid for last year and all I get is they'll be out on such and such a date, but they never show up, or call. They are nice people, but after giving them over $500 last year for a job after hearing they might come out, if they manage to, they'll say it needs to be fixed, but never show up. Will never use them again.”

“The grounds guys came out to do the landscaping at golden chick on big spring street in Midland, Texas. The boss was very professional! His crew did amazing and were very clean and had wonderful time management! I will always mention their business to everyone! 10/10!!! Thank you guys! :)”

“Midland Ground Guys are amazing! Always very efficient with their services and willing to help with whatever yard-related work you need done! Whether it's cutting down trees, mowing your lawn, or getting rid of/sweeping up leaves, they do such a great job! They even noticed a sprinkler head that was damaged and were able to help with fixing that! Highly recommend!”

“Billy and his team were awesome and professional. Went above and beyond and worked their butts off on my leaf and acorn clean up… it was extensive to say the least! They worked tirelessly for hours and saw the job through for a very competitive price! Will recommend and use again!”

“My lawnmower went down, so I had to call Grounds Guys to take care of my yard while I got parts. I was very impressed by their professionalism, punctuality, and quality of work. They had me quoted and serviced within two business days, and answered every question I had clearly. The quality of work is as if it was their own yard, and the pricing was very fair. My only complaint is that now that I have my own mower fixed, it's hard to want to do the work myself! Invoicing was also very convenient, able to pay via phone. All in all, I would recommend Grounds Guys to anyone. Very pleasant experience.”

“I have been a client of Grounds Guys for a couple of years. They are cordial, fair, prompt, and hardworking. They have also fixed and maintained our sprinkler system, hauled brush and trash, and provided clean up. Joseph de la Torre is a wonderful owner/operator with reliable, friendly workers. I highly recommend the Grounds Guys. Their prices are extremely fair for everything they offer. Moreover, they have pay apps for customers to pay for lawn services along with accurate invoicing and on-time scheduling.”
