We are proud of the strong reputation we have built over the years and are excited to continue helping clients to better use their outdoor space here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
We where planning on removing our old lawn and replacing it with new sod. Reached out to Grounded Landscaping Design for an estimate. The owner Chris Blonski came out to meet with us and recommended other options to improve our landscaping needs. Chris sent his proposal to us within a couple days for our approval. Once accepted Grounded started our project the following week. Overall Chris's crew put in new sod, created a dry creek with cobbles, planted new shrubs, removed 2 old tree stumps/planted 6 arborvitae in that area and barked our whole front and back area at a very reasonable cost. If you are looking to update or add to your landscape do not hesitate to reach out to Grounded Landscaping Design. Chris and his crew will exceed you expectations in everyway imaginable.
We had great experience with the driveway and landscape project by Grounded Landscape Design. It was a complete replacement of our old driveway with pavers, rebuild of our backyard patio, and installation of all the landscape and lightings throughout. Initially, we were stressed out by the size of the project, and worried whether the project would be over our budget, and its disruption to our daily life. We were pleasely surprised by the result! The final outcome of the project by Grounded Landscape Design, driveway, patio and everything, look beautiful besides being very functional and serving our day-to-day needs. During the project, the Grounded Landscape Design team were very efficient and friendly. We really enjoyed working with Karen, who came up with the great design within our budget, with Francisco and the construction team who did a great work and always cleaned up after each day’s work. We would recommend Grounded Landscape Design highly!
We replace our old concrete driveway with pavers, replaced / improved retaining walls, walkways, hardscape and landscaping in our front yard . Added a staircase to our lower yard, as well as installing new exterior lighting for both our front and back yards. Our Grounded Landscaping Team (Kathryn - project manager / Francisco, Junior, and Sebastian) were a pleasure to work with. They developed a plan, drawings, budget and schedule that they maintained throughout the effort. It was also necessary to coordinate with another onsite contractor, which they did seamlessly. The team were efficient, friendly, informative, and cleaned up after each days efforts. This was great "value for money" and we are totally pleased with the final result. I would recommend Grounded Landscaping highly to anyone who needs work done.
After the removal of several huge Douglas Fir trees that were taking the hillside down with them, we hired Grounded Landscape Design to help us build a proper retaining wall, replace all of the fences, create a backyard full of durable raised beds for vegetables, plus a patio and walkways. Even though they initially promised two designs, Kathryn was so excited about our project that she gave us four, and helped us to land on a design that was like nothing we had even considered. The crew that performed the actual work was the same every day, and were incredibly tidy and respectful of our property throughout the entire build. Weekly meetings with the designer helped to keep us updated. When we hit little snags along the way (both unforeseen site challenges and miscommunications between the designers and crew), they always went above and beyond to figure things out and correct the issues, without complaint. At the end of the project they ensured we were satisfied, with several final walkthroughs, and sent the crew leader back right away to catch the one little detail that was missed. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. This was not the cheapest bid we received, but they came in on budget, and we have no regrets now that we're done, knowing that we got exactly what we wanted and just how great the entire crew was to work with.
They are truly brilliant designers. Ever since we bought our house we have been searching for ways to push back our retaining wall to get more usable space, but it just wasn’t feasible. We then decided to reach out to a few landscape architects to see if they could accommodate our dreams and needs for our backyard. We then found Grounded, and we were just blown away by their design. They delivered on all of our requests and considered every small detail, from having very low maintenance plants to perfectly placed privacy trees to even plants that look good all year long (I certainly don’t have the time, knowledge or patience to see what can live in this climate and look good all year round). Their crew was excellent, they put in so much hard work and were incredibly courteous. Communication throughout the project was excellent and they listened to any concerns we had and communicated any small adjustments they thought should be made. The final product was beyond our wildest dreams and we could not be happier with the results. They turned our hideous retaining wall we tried so hard to get rid of, into the shining star of our backyard! From the flow, to the layout, to the materials, it is our little piece of paradise now. It’s October and we are trying to find any bit of dry weather that we can to spend in our backyard oasis. We cannot recommend Grounded enough!
Caleb and the entire Grounded Landscape Design crew did an amazing job on our backyard. Caleb had a vision for our yard that I couldn't 'see' until it was done and man are we happy with it! His crew is professional---working SO hard every day---and everything was done thoroughly and to our satisfaction. We had NO qualms with any of the workmanship which seems like a miracle. All in all a great experience at a reasonable price, would recommend.
My recent experience with Grounded Landscape Design was extraordinary if you desire quality work with excellent customer service. Communication with Caleb and his team was impeccable and consistent. My wife and I needed a repair done on a crumbling rock wall which was becoming a safety issue with kids playing in the back yard, the Grounded team fixed it in no time. All facets of the job exceeded expectations. Caleb's guys were polite, efficient and very knowledgeable with good suggestions to improve the appearance of the job. They worked extremely hard to satisfy our expectations. Grounded Landscape and Design executed as advertised and I won't hesitate to recommend their services to anyone. A huge thank you to Caleb and his professional team!
What a first impression! Caleb came out for a consultation and it was immediately evident he was unlike the other landscapers we spoke to. He freely gave ideas on what we could do with our challenging space which helped us know our visions aligned and he would be a great fit for our project. He really embraced the challenges of our yard and turned them into perks. I loved getting to see the entire plan drawn out for our yard before we went ahead with the project. The guys came out in rain or shine and worked so hard. They are incredibly hard working and respectful, cleaning up at the end of each day, making sure our gates were shut and fence panel secured since we have dogs. The price was reasonable, the work done in a timely manner and the results are amazing. Our yard looks so beautiful, I would have never thought of everything they put into it. The arbors, patio and natural looking rock steps all just blew me away! The plant selection was just what we needed, wanted and then some! I highly recommend Caleb and his team, and will use them again in the future!
Nothing about our experience was positive. Delayed communication, missed deadlines, poor quality of work, left us with unfinished work for 2 months, cancelation of contract half way through, not honoring warranty. I understand there are challenges during renovations but this one was far and beyond the worst Ive ever experienced. New owners so past reviews may not apply...
Grounded Landscape Design was great to work with all around. The design with Karen was quick and the work followed soon after. We are very happy to have a beautiful backyard to relax in and enjoy. Highly recommend them!
We had a great experience with Grounded for our landscaping project. The designer (Kathryn) did a good job incorporating our preferences and applying her expertise in areas we were less familiar with. The two landscapers working on the project were very hardworking, experienced, and respectful.
Grounded did a phenomenal job helping us with our complete landscaping overhaul. From start to finish Will and the team were with us every step of the way. Our backyard was basically all grass with a wonky patio that was not useful for entertaining or relaxing. Will came up with a northwest friendly design with solutions to better use the space while solving the drainage issues we had. Will kept within our budget while still giving us everything we wanted. Blasso and Jose did some serious heavy lifting to pull out all the existing aggregate and creating our new two tiered stone patio. The front yard also went through a dramatic transformation - gone are the overgrown arborvitae hedges and boxwoods. In its place a beautiful landscape with northwest plants and trees. I can t count the number of compliments we ve gotten from neighbors who watched the transformation happen. Thank you Grounded - we are truly thrilled with our new outdoor spaces!!
grounded designed and installed a big overhaul of our front yard and we are utterly delighted. His artistic vision was perfect for this area. Grounded was on time, diligent, has the best crew ever to do a project for us. They installed walls, a terraced area, transplanted plants, planted trees and bushes and flowers. We have yet to see the full effect as everything will grow and flower next summer but can hardly wait. The details were perfectly done. The place is transformed. In the spring we will do the back! The designer is an artiste!
We have worked with Grounded for the last 4 years. The designer created a unique landscape design and we ve been finishing it one piece at a time. So far he has reshaped my backyard lawn, created an 800 sq ft patio complete with fire pit, play structure and fence. We re planning out the front yard next. The designer and his team are wonderful to work with. The finished project always looks great and we re always satisfied with their work.
These guys took care of a big job for us - all new front and back yard planting, slope regrade and sod, pathing, flagstone patio and cedar deck. The team was SO professional. Ive never worked with a crew so hardworking, capable and tidy. My husband and I didnt exactly know what we were getting into at the start, but they quickly gained our trust and exceeded expectations. Wed absolutely work with them again. Recommend!
Caleb and his hardworking team were easy and friendly to work with. Firstly, Caleb had a vision for our yard that we just couldnt of thought was possible. We are so happy and pleased with his design. We were newbies to yard remodel and he handled all of our questions with ease. Secondly, the project started when he said it would and finished in the time he said it would. No surprises or drama, just the way we like it.
Grounded Landscape Design is top notch. They have been the crew to redo at least 5 yards in our neighborhood and everyone loves their work and it elevates the whole community. The designer and crew were very professional, and worked hard and fast. Their attention to detail and beautiful, unique and sustainable design is an amazing combination. We are a very satisfied customer.
Caleb designed a stunning new yard for our corner lot that literally STOPS traffic coming into our neighborhood. We wanted to get rid of our grass and make our property stand out and be less wasteful of water and boy, did he deliver! With natural accents of a dry streambed with an organic log placed next to it and an old growth stump, the new yard is a showpiece that elevates our home into something special.
This was the second time I have had the pleasure working with Caleb. The first was through his previous employer. When it came time to replace our 30 year old deck, and repair some of the yard that moles had destroyed, I contacted Caleb. He and his team did a fantastic job. His creative genius showed once again in adding small changes to the landscaping that make a huge difference in eye appeal. The craftsmanship of the deck is outstanding. One of the biggest reasons I contacted Caleb is his willingness to listen to his customer, to see what they like and enjoy, then incorporate that into his overall design. His team is composed of true professionals to their craft. They show up on time and work hard throughout the day. They are very courteous and respectful. We look forward to many happy years surrounded by work that they have completed.
