Our backyard that was in desperate need of repairs: previous owners put down indoor tiles on our patio, the retaining walls were slowly falling down, and the tiles on the pool were coming off … We weren’t sure what we wanted so we consulted with a few construction companies that had some nice successful backyard projects shown on their websites. Most of the companies were unresponsive or initially responsive but didn’t follow up in a timely manner and we got discouraged and almost gave up. Luckily, we reached out to NOVA Landscape Construction and they were enthusiastic, not afraid to suggest drastic changes, and responsive without being pushy. Tony and Brittany at NOVA LC came over to chat and understand what we were looking for, and we worked with them and their team to come up with a vision and plan for our backyard: Once we had the vision and plan they priced things out. We were a bit nervous about spending so much money but they worked with us and we decided to go for it. NOVA LC immediately started demolishing our backyard and boy was that scary (and often a bit muddy especially with our dog running around out there). We were worried that NOVA LC would disappear at this point because we’d heard stories of construction companies doing that, but Tony and his team were around most days making progress where they could, preparing things for the moment any of the permits were approved. As soon as a permit was approved, they were off like a shot pouring concrete, laying the tiles we picked out, and making our vision take shape. The project was a bit complex with lots of moving parts including a lower patio, an upper patio, a firepit, resurfacing the pool, adding a hot tub, adding an outdoor kitchen, landscaping, and outdoor media installation. Some of the details were modified as vision met reality, but Tony worked to make sure we were happy and was responsive to any of our concerns. The team was respectful of our yard and neighbors, keeping things relatively clean and organized, and they were also great with our dog, who spent a lot of time supervising (and trying to steal their lunches). The final product turned out to be amazing as you can see from the pictures, especially in contrast to the initial state of our yard. Tony and his team worked to assure that every detail was to our satisfaction, and we are delighted with the results. NOVA Landscape Construction did a stellar job.

After getting several estimates from different companies, we decided to go with Nova LC. What set them apart was their knowledge of working with degraded land, which was exactly what we needed for our backyard pool installation. Other companies didn't seem as experienced in handling our specific situation, but Nova LC understood the challenges right from the start. Our project was huge—completely transforming our backyard with a pool, deck, and landscaping—and it took about 9 months from beginning to end. I had a lot of ideas about the design, and Tony, the owner, was incredibly patient and attentive. He didn’t just nod along; he gave thoughtful feedback and offered professional suggestions to improve my vision. It felt like a true collaboration, which I really appreciated. As with any big project, there were a few bumps along the way. However, whenever something came up, Tony and his crew worked quickly to come up with multiple solutions. They didn’t just push us toward one fix; they gave us options and explained the pros and cons of each, which made the decision-making process easier and less stressful. Installing a pool and deck is a major undertaking, but Nova LC made it as seamless as possible. Their attention to detail, communication, and ability to adapt to any issue really stood out. If you’re looking for a company that delivers high-quality work and uses high quality material and truly cares about the end result.

Tony and Kevin did a great job on our walkways. Made it significantly easier for mom to get around in the yard. I especially liked the integration of the walkways into the firepit/patio area and the paver edging that tied it all together.

After talking and meeting with six companies, we chose to go with NOVA LC and what a pleasant experience it was. Everyone we interacted from this company has been such a pleasure we miss seeing them now that our project is complete on time. Design- Our design excellently blends into our overall property and it really elevates our smallish yard. For our requests to revise or samples of material, Tony worked hard to ensure we had many options that would work with our vision. During certain points we just followed Tony’s advice. Execution- A great design needs to be executed by the right workers and NOVA LC certainly does have amazing workers. The workers carried out the design better than the design on paper. We had a specific diagonal pattern on our patio and the workers laid out the pieces multiple times to ensure the design was right. Tony also visited the worksite daily, sometimes multiple times in a day to ensure progress. When things was rescheduled, Tony or his project manager kept us posted on when things will happen. The workers are always courteous and kept the job site pretty organized and clean; they minimized the impact on us living there. Price- NOVA LC is definitely a great value. If you are looking for the lowest price then this company is not for you. If you are looking for something that lasts a long time and stays high quality then definitely give them a call. Overall- NOVA LC works very hard to make sure customers are completely satisfied with the outcome. We LOVED them and want to recommend to all our friends.

Let me caveat my review with the fact that I am a local realtor. I deal with a lot of contractors, and refer out a lot of contractors to clients. Tony at NoVA Landscape Construction Is at the very top of that list. Our family spent the better part of a year working with his crew to transform our yard and pool area. At the end of that time, I can still say I’m thrilled that we went with Tony and his crew for this renovation. Not only because of the outcome of our space, but because of the communication that we received consistently through our work, and with the caliber of work I saw happen in my backyard! Tony and his crew transformed our back yard pool area into a retreat. Our pool is about 40 years old. I don’t believe it had ever been resurfaced. We started there with Tony and his crew and as we talked about our vision for up there our design options grew. We opted to reconfigure the entire space around the pool, and Tony Was able to take our vision and make it happen! He was receptive to all of our requests, even the ones that were a little more difficult for him to fulfill like a very specific color of a crêpe myrtle tree for the landscaping, with a can-do attitude! We now have a wood-burning fireplace, we ran a gas line to heat the pool and put in gas heaters for the pavilion area, added a fridge a grill, garbage and recycle bins , and a cooler box to easily access drinks. The space is truly an oasis for our family now. We do a lot of entertaining and everyone who has stopped by has been so impressed with the space. We are beyond thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Tony and his team for any home improvement project you are considering!

We had a fantastic experience with NOVA Grounds!! Tony was great to work with and we loved that he was ON SITE for the job. It was awesome that he didn't just leave the work to his crew and come back when it was finished. He was very hands on, and it made for a phenominal finished product. The plants he brought were healthy and beautiful, and the walkway materials and construction were clean and professional. Highly recommend!!

After contacting numerous landscaping/hardscaping/drainage companies I found Northern Virginia Grounds. Thank goodness! Tony and his workers were able to handle all of our concerns! Our initial request/concerns were regarding drainage issues and a new walk in our front yard. The job was going well so we immediately signed Tony on to address the drainage issues in our backyard. Along with adding/routing drainage to the appropriate areas we replaced a huge cement pad under our raised deck (which was a complete eyesore) and a crumbling brick retaining wall/brick facade to the cement pad, which was deteriorating as well. All the (failing and very old) hardscaping played into the drainage issues and we knew it needed to be addressed. Everything was looking great. We couldn't stop there, so we went back up to the front yard and redid the old brick stoop as well as removed old railroad ties and replaced those with stacked stone. Everything looks AMAZING!! We've had a few neighbors comment on the changes out front and how great it looks. Tony was always available during my project. He stopped by everyday to check the status of the job. And he didn't run off. He stayed and talked, explaining next steps, answering my questions, suggesting other options. I was always able to reach him with any concerns or questions. I really appreciated him calling after we had finished a drainage job and he saw rain. He wanted to know how the fix was working, to take photos, and a video so he could see. I really appreciated that concern and reaching out to me to suggest that!! I would definitely recommend Northern Virginia Grounds! In fact, if I get my way he'll be back to work on some overgrown beds.

I met Tony 16+ years ago when he was in partnership with another guy. A mutual friend of ours told me to contact Tony to at least get an estimate. Since I had 2 estimates to compare Tonys price to I thought I had done the right thing. Tony was right on the money and once I started talking to him, we realized we knew many of the same people in different industries. I was a lot closer to the other business owners then I was to Tony so I called them. Each one confirmed my initial feeling while I was observing and noting details about Tonys demeanor. It was obvious that he was detailed oriented and made many minor observations I hadnt thought of, so this was huge especially since none of the other companies I spoke with even mentioned some of the items Tony brought to light. The end product was absolutely awesome and so much so several of my neighbors have had Tony back for quotes for similar work. Just a short note: I had some paving work done many years ago that was separating and falling apart. Tony took it upon himself to repair that work and made the old paving look like new. Tonys company does professional work, and uses high end quality material. I can attest to this from the pavers used years ago to the pavers tony uses now. I would highly recommend NOVA Landscaping Construction for any exterior jobs you may be contemplating on doing. It was a pleasure dealing not only with Tony but his crew of workers. Anyone reading this can reach out to me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Ron Turk Petracca

Tony and his team were professional, flexible, and dependable throughout the entire project. Overall I am very happy the way the project turned out and highly recommend this company. As with most construction projects things never go as planned but Tony was always willing to find a solution and at a reasonable cost.

Nova LC did an amazing job! Tony, the owner, was on the job every day managing his crew and working with us to develop landscaping and hardscaping around our new pool. The end results exceeded our expectations. Under Tonys instruction, he and his crew spent weeks constructing our Travertine pool deck and surroundings with precision and care. Whenever a problem arose, Tony found creative and beautiful solutions. For example, when modifications were needed to coping around the back of our pool installed by the pool company, he spent days calling and traveling to vendors to locate hard to find stone to coordinate. He also proved to be very responsive. I dont remember a call or text that was not answered within the hour. He also began and completed our job within the time frame promised. Nova LC may not be the least inexpensive, but the good service, quality of materials, and excellent craftmanship will without a doubt save money on repairs and do-overs in the long run.

We selected NOVA Landscape and Construction for our pools decking and retaining wall needs based on NOVAs great reputation and we were not disappointed. First Tony worked with us on planning the project and we went through numerous revisions and each time with valuable feedback from Tony that proactively addressed many concerns. Then during the construction phase Tony kept us up to date on progress and was always consistent and timely on the work being accomplished. We never ran into a situation where Tonys team disappeared for days or weeks to work on other projects we felt like we were a priority from start to finish. We highly recommend NOVA Landscape for anyone who needs their services and we will certainly be looking back to Tony for our future phases.

Can t say enough good things about Tony and his crew. They completely turned our aging back patio from pavers to stone replacing walls and installing a massive fireplace. They have a high quality of craftsmanship as well as being on time and on budget for even large projects like ours. If you are looking to replace any landscaping, call Tony!

This is an experienced and knowledgeable landscaping company that will do the job right. We moved into a house with an overgrown and unmanageable back yard that needed clearing, stump removal, and a French drain to improve run-off. Job was done quickly and correctly with no fuss, no muss. Will use them again next year for another project.

NOVA Landscape is top notch. I needed a walkway for my backyard and was unsure of where to start. After calling around and getting outrages quotes, Tony came over and painted a picture of what I would be getting along with a more than fair price! Tonys expertise, responsiveness and dedication to his craft make him a no brainier for your next outdoor project. The walkway looks amazing and we will be going back for more projects soon. I will not only recommend NOVA Landscape to my friends and family, but insist they call Tony, as I know they will be in great hands.

I used NOVA Landscape Construction for a new patio install with a fire pit and hot tub. It wasnt a simple job because my property has quite a bit of grade and we also needed to dedicate a space to the jacuzzi (and all of its electrical work). I had two other estimates, while slightly cheaper, that didnt have plans for a concrete pad under the jacuzzi and didnt include retaining walls and lights. Tony also used quality materials that were thicker and higher-end than what the other guys were using. I realized quickly this was not as simple as slapping down some Home Depot pavers. I am so glad I went with Tony because that could have been a real nightmare as the ground settled with the grade we have and a heavy jacuzzi sitting on it. Tony also had a designer draw up the plan so I could see exactly what Id be getting. We changed it a couple of times so it was really helpful to see it in 3D from different angles. Most importantly, I cant say enough great things about Tonys guys. We had the same two guys who showed up each day at 7:30am and worked the whole day in nearly 100 degree weather. I have had other contractors for other projects not show up on some days (I guess to squeeze in some smaller jobs) or take 2+ hour lunches where I didnt know if they were coming back. These guys got the job done quickly while paying meticulous attention to detail. They spent quite a bit of time cleaning up after themselves and hosing everything off. We had a couple of issues come up due to the formation of my deck and grading of the property and they made sure before they did anything they spoke with me about what I wanted which I really appreciated. It was a pleasure to work with Tony as he was always responsive to every question I asked. He came over multiple times to check on the project so I never got the feeling that he just took the money and ran while some guys I had never met or spoke to did all the work. Unfortunately, that is how a lot of these businesses work so that is why I wanted to take the time to write this review and give credit where credit is due. Tony is on top of everything, hires the right guys and treats them right, doesnt cut corners and uses quality products, and knows his stuff and is super responsive. Highly recommend!

We recently completed a beautiful hardscape/landscape project with NOVA Landscape Construction near Leesburg, VA. Not only was the final result everything we asked for, but the owner (Tony) and his team made the entire process simple and clear. After discussing the design and committing to a schedule, Tony coordinated the drop off of all materials, making proactive corrections when needed prior to the start of the project. Each day, his teams put in a full days work, and Tony himself was there either working alongside them or stopping by to make sure everything was going smoothly. The project was completed on time, in budget, and exceeding all specifications. Finally, they left the areas surrounding the project/work zones in great shape, seeding and fertilizing all impacted grassy areas and powerwashing our driveway. We love our new fire pit, lighting, and patios!

I highly recommend Northern VA Grounds. Tony came out very promptly to provide an estimate. Together we planned the project. While he listened carefully to my ideas and concerns, he shared from his knowledge and experience. Yet Tony made it clear that it these were only his recommendations; this project was ultimately about what I wanted. Once we decided on a plan the work began quickly and promptly. One aspect I really appreciated was that the crew were careful to clean up every day. This was important to me as I live in a townhouse complex and management can be rather picky. Also, we stayed in contact during the project to ensure there were no miscommunications and any unexpected issues were dealt with quickly and effectively. In the end, I have a perfect patio. The work is as beautiful in person as it is in the pictures and I m looking forward to years of enjoyment. One final word, Tony provided me a small amount of gravel from his personal property as the amount I needed was too small to warrant a full order. Again, Northern VA Grounds receives my highest recommendation.

My husband s fortuitous encounter with owner/president Tony Drosos at local Greek eatery Plaka Grill (owned by Tony s brother Peter) led to the hiring of Northern Virginia Grounds for a landscaping/hardscaping project that has completely revitalized our Vienna home. From the removal of overgrown arborvitae trees that had obscured our house to the construction of a new walkway and porch to the planting of alluring greenery, everything was done promptly and professionally. The addition of river rock below the back deck has also been a magnificent enhancement to the yard. Tony was a pleasure to work with as he addressed all our concerns throughout the project and provided useful recommendations. We especially appreciated his reliability and responsiveness to our inquiries. He even made extra post-completion trips to the house to monitor the progress of our new paper birch tree. The hardworking Northern Virginia Grounds crew performed expertly throughout every phase of the project, which was completed in less time than was originally promised. We are extremely satisfied with the outcome and have nothing but the highest praise for Northern Virginia Grounds. We will certainly use them again in the future if the need arises.

I called Northern Virginia Grounds because I needed retaining walls and a riverrock bed placed around a sports court for a sloped area of my backyard I was worried about erosion and drainage and Northern Virginia had great reviews. I spoke with Tony Drosos, the owner and he came over within a day to look at the project and draw up some ideas and estimates. When we decided to move forward with the project, sensing my urgency he got a crew to start the next day. These two guys that came over would start at 7:45Am in the morning and stay until maybe 6:00PM or so. They would not leave until the finished the section that they wanted to complete for that day and a few times I felt so bad I told them they did not need to stay any longer and come back tomorrow. That is how dedicated they were. Let me say that this was the week at the end of July where we were hitting 100F every day. They came in one Saturday and I had to convince them NOT to come in on Sunday. The put in 2 stone walls and covered it with a beautiful stone veneer with each stone cut and placed by hand. They took their time and the walls look great. Truly high level craftsmanship and Tony came every day to check on progress and see if anything was needed. At the end Tony even helped me with a good deal on mulch to cover around areas they finished working on. Great 2 man crew that worked long hours to get the job done without asking and finished product looks great. Highly recommend and will use again for future projects.

Northern VA Grounds recently remodeled my patio with beautiful pavers and I am loving it! A neighbor recommended I contact Tony, who promptly met with me and patiently listened to my vision for my new patio. He answered all of my questions and explained the process in detail, including what materials he uses and why. He also showed me photos of his other completed projects and encouraged me to read the reviews of his work on Yelp. He was especially patient and flexible during a series of challenges that delayed scheduling the work for two months. His crew was professional, hard-working, and attentive. They even went out of their way to cut up some pieces of the recycled material for me to use in other projects. Thank you Tony and crew for great service and quality work!

We had all of our overgrown bushes in the front of our house pulled up and replaced. We had new sod placed in our backyard, and other improvements made. From the time I first called to get an estimate, to having the work completed took about a week. They were extremely willing to work within our budget and we still got everything we wanted. All the new plants, bushes, and trees, as well as new grass sod looks terrific. A huge improvement over what was there. Everything was done exactly when they said. Highly recommended.

I contacted Northern VA Grounds (NoVa Grounds) with the need to sod the front and backyard of my townhouse as I am preparing to sell (approximately 460 sq. ft.). When contacting various other landscaping companies, many were interested but with the busy time they could not schedule me in though they all understood it was a small job. Tony, the owner of NoVa Grounds however, was willing to work with me. We managed the quote and all items via text by proving the square footage and pictures to facilitate processing the quote and service, this was a good use of both our times since it didn t require me to have to leave work for a visit, and then again when the work was being performed. The price was competitive and we quickly executed the contract via email. Tony was able to squeeze in my project in between his other jobs and managed to complete all the work timely and beautifully, being mindful of the temperature and conditions for sodding the lawn correctly. He and his crew were very polite, professional, efficient, responsive and helpful in taking care of sodding the home and providing the instructions to maintain it. I highly recommend working with NoVa Grounds. Before your next landscaping project or need, would encourage you to obtain quotes from various companies, but one of them has to be from NoVa Grounds.

Weeds, Weeds, Weeds !!! They were everywhere. Attacking us from all corners of the yard. We didnt have a nice green lawn. We had one giant weed !!! The lawn was green but it wasnt grass. We are first time homeowners and didnt know what to do. We were lost until we spoke to our neighbor Chuck. Chuck referred us to Tony at NoVA Grounds, LLC. Tony was the ultimate professional. Tony explained his services and we finally had a game plan to attack these weeds. Tony took the time to educate us and patiently answered all our questions. He also met us at a local garden center to choose the best plants for our renovated yard. We had Tony and his team work their magic by removing all the existing grass and weeds along with the existing plants and tree in the front, installing comprow and new sod (2200 SF), installing 13 dwarf English boxwoods, one Red Rocket Crape Myrtle, and a red castle rock wall for our vegetable garden. We were amazed how quickly our weed lawn was transformed into our new sod lawn. The boxwoods, crape myrtle, and vegetable garden looked great. The work was completed in September 2017 and it was still in the 80s. We watered the sod, as instructed, but there were brown areas in various spots that didnt appear normal. Tony stopped by and told us not to worry. He would help us and guaranteed we would be happy. Tony stopped by over the next few weeks and continued to monitor the sod as he applied seed and fertilizer as we continued to water it. The brown areas slowly disappeared and the sod started to blend into the yard. We now receive many compliments on how good our lawn looks. Our neighbor Sam walked on the lawn and said it felt like a carpet. We never thought our yard would look so nice. We were an embarrassment to Chuck as his yard was always immaculate. Chuck was also amazed at the transformation. We are truly grateful to Chuck and Tony for always helping us. Tony did not accept credit cards for payment but he went above and beyond by allowing us to pay by credit card which really helped us. Please kindly contact NoVA Grounds, LLC for any of your landscaping needs. You will be very happy with Tony. Please give him the opportunity to make you happy. He will answer all your questions and address any of your concerns. You will not be disappointed. We will definitely seek his services in the future.

We contracted Tony for work on a paver walkway from our driveway to our front porch and for the planting of a tree in our backyard. We couldnt be happier. We contacted Tony after a bad windstorm knocked down some trees and removed some privacy we had from neighbors. Tony came in and reviewed the yard and suggested several options that could fit our needs. He was very communicative via email and phone as we worked together to find the trees that would fit our need for privacy and style. Ultimately, we decided to go with as Willow and couldnt believe how low the price was for the tree and install. Similarly, Tony worked with us on the design of the walkway. He again suggested several styles and we ended up going with a herringbone pattern of red brick that fit our colonial style home perfectly. Tonys guys were quick with the install, but were thorough: they did it right. I had gotten 3 proposals from different companies but NOVA Grounds was the most affordable. I strongly recommend NOVA Grounds and will definitely use them in the future.

We hired Tony to replace our lawn, which was a mess due to the underlying soil containing rocks and construction debris. He knew that a beautiful lawn would require a lot of effort to remove the debris, add new topsoil, and install the sod. Tonys guys worked in the sweltering heat of Summer to literally leave no stone unturned...unfortunately, the heatwave and lack of rain worked against us, and the grass initially wasnt doing well. Tony proactively communicated with us, and worked to make sure we got green grass in the end (like a golf course, as he says. Northern VA Grounds also put a bunch of new shrubs and relocated existing bushes to the side of the house - they look great and add a nice splash of color. installed a stone retaining wall that matched our existing patio perfectly, with some nice flowers and plants in the back. When some of the flowers died due to the heat, Tony replaced them without hesitation. While our job had some complicating factors, I definitely recommend Tony if you want someone who will stay the course and not rest until youre satisfied.

We hired Tony and his crew at NOVA Grounds for a major fall clean up of our yard--trimming bushes, pruning plants, weeding and mulching flower beds, edging, removing and replacing dead bushes, etc. He was super responsive and communicative throughout the process, and our yard looks gorgeous. NOVA does quality work. I especially appreciated how he came out to the site a few times to discuss the job, answer additional questions, and ensure I was satisfied with the work. Ill be hiring NOVA Grounds for our annual clean up from now on.

Excellent Excellent Excellent. We had several large projects (up to the six figure range) completed by Tony and his crew, including both soft and hard landscaping. Great attention to detail and amazing customer service from the plants/landscaping design and front walkway and porch to our large backyard resort project. If you care about the job being done right, call Tony. Side note: Tonys father owns a construction comoany and they ended up doing amazing bathroom model for us at the same time (after we had to fire a contractor).

I highly recommend Northern Virginia Grounds. I m a bit of a perfectionist and very detail oriented, so there was a very high threshold, but Tony and his team did a fantastic job on our hardscape project and far exceeded my expectations. After much research and reading many reviews, I had 5 or 6 companies come out to discuss the project and get estimates. When I met Tony, he took the time to listen to all my thoughts and concerns, and he offered to bring me samples of different materials even before I agreed to go with his company. Tony did a great job with encouraging me to go with his company without being pushy. The estimate Tony gave me was fair, and after considering all of my options, I decided to go with him. Tony has been excellent with communication, and would respond to me almost immediately if I had any questions. He met with me multiple times before starting the project, he brought out samples, and he invited me to see other projects that he had completed or was still in the process of completing. I was originally only planning on replacing my front walkway, but I decided to trust Tony to fix up my entire back yard as well. I had a huge project because in addition to replacing all of my bricks with pavers, Tony said he could help with the drainage problem I had in my yard each time it rained. I would frequently have a small river flowing down my walkways and in the lower grassy parts of my yard. Tony s team put in a French drain to help the water exit our yard underground. They also attached underground pipes to our downspouts so the water wouldn t flow over our pavers. Tony used high-quality Techo-Bloc pavers so that the color would last, and he kept me in the loop each step of the way. I appreciated his crew s attention to detail to make sure everything was done just right. Some people will cut corners, but not Tony s team. They are very skilled, and did a quality job. They worked very hard each day (including some weekends), and they were always pleasant. Tony was at our house almost every day to ensure that everything was being done to his high standards, and he came out in the rain to make sure that the drainage pipes were working. That is truly going above and beyond. I couldn t be happier with how everything turned out. If you are looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and reliable person to help with your hardscaping/landscaping needs, you won t go wrong with Tony and Northern Virginia Grounds.

Tony and his crew did a fantastic job. He was very responsive to our inquiries, provided help during the design phase, and was proactive when it came to scheduling the actual construction. The workers also did an exceptional job and we are very happy with the results. I highly recommend Nova grounds to anyone with landscape beautification in mind.

My husband and I know NOTHING about taking care of a yard (well he probably knows more than me ;) so we put off updating the front yard of our townhouse for 2 years. When my husband was shopping around for different landscapers in the area, Tony was the first to respond. He was so helpful with all of our questions and always quick to respond or return our calls/texts. He gave us different suggestions and told us how to take care of the plants he put into our yard. We are 100% happy with how our new front yard looks and definitely recommend Tony and his crew for any landscaping needs!

I was very happy with the work they did for me removing a dead tree stump. The stump was located over utility lines and Tony made sure they were marked and identified before any digging was done. I recommend them for any needed grounds work.

Last summer we decided to finally do something about the eyesore of a garden in front of our house, and couldn t have been happier with the work of Tony and the team at Northern Virginia Grounds. They were collaborative and thoughtful, had great ideas, and were efficient when completing the project. It s rare to find a team like this who goes above and beyond, and who makes it a priority to ensure the customer is happy not just with the final product but throughout the process. This spring, we had NVG back out to do our spring cleaning and landscaping, this time all the way around the house. Like last year, several neighbors have already commented how much they love our gardens.

I appreciated that Tony got back to me soon after I contacted him and then came out to my home to look at my specific needs. We recently moved into our home which had an unsightly dirt yard and wanted to have sod laid. The sod went further than expected and looks great. Fingers crossed we keep it alive! Tonys crew worked fast and were very friendly. For future customers (who dont have green thumbs) it might be nice to provide a short cheat-sheet on care for a new lawn. Overall, we were really happy with our experience and would contact NOVA Grounds again in the future.

I would highly recommend using NOVA Grounds. In a bind I got in touch with Tony to do last minute lawn maintenance in advance of an open house and he was able expedite service and get the job done when no one else could. Reliable and puts the customer first. Would certainly use again without hesitation.

Tony has provided snow removal services at my properties for over 5 years. He is always on top of the inclement weather and him and his guys always do a great job. He keeps me updated on weather and property conditions and is always available when called. There is not another snow removal contractor I will use at my properties. I insist with my ownership group that we use Tony and NOVA grounds each year. He is the best hands down.

I currently provide security services for several properties in which, snow removal services have been provided by Tony and his team at NOVA Grounds. The sites have been extremely safe due to the prompt snow removal, salted streets and sidewalks. I would highly recommend NOVA Grounds! -OFC Oakley-

Weve been customers of NOVA Grounds since 2009 when we needed them to clear out our back yard after a major flood in our area. Since then weve used them for both landscaping and hardscaping projects. Theyre competitively priced, on budget and on time. They also have great customer service. I had a critical deadline that required me to be in the office during a snow storm. To my surprise I found my driveway cleared when I woke up in the morning. I later found out that Tony, the owner of NOVA, knew my schedule and cleared my driveway during the night even though I didnt have a snow removal contract. Theyll keep getting my business when I need landscaping work done.

We used Tony and his crew for a major re-landscaping of our front yard. This included removing most existing plants and shrubs and a few trees, massive weeding, and thorough clean up of all existing beds. Tony drew up a new plan, including all new plantings (20+ shrubs, five trees, perennials), a swing, and a bench. Our yard went from unkempt to one of the nicest on the block. Throughout the entire process, spanning four weeks from initial contact through estimates, design, and installation, Tony was responsive, communicative, and prompt. His crew was outstanding, completing a big job in three days (two very long days), and cleaning up after themselves daily. We will certainly use Nova Grounds for our backyard and probably for some hardscaping in the future also.

I hired Nova Grounds about a month ago to overhaul my yard. We were in desperate need of a spring clean up which included weeding, trimming, planting, and mulching. Their team was punctual and did an amazing my job! My yard was completely overgrown and unmanageable and now it looks completely manicured! Tony is very responsible, personable, and was able to work with my budget. I highly recommend Nova Grounds!

Northern Va Grounds and the owner Tony are an amazing company with an unbelievable work ethic and pricing that was more than competitive in the marketplace! We spoke to many companies and had many estimates given to us. Integrity is something Tony displayed from day one! Many of the other contractors can learn a lot from Tony and his staff. We did a full line of landscaping in the front of our home both sides and the rear of our home. They did some Hardscape work on the patio as well and did a fantastic job!! I have highly recommended Tony and his staff on many jobs in our neighborhood based off of what they have seen at my house. If your thinking of using a Landscaper for your yard both small or large....NOVA Grounds is the way to go!! 5-Star all the way!

We will definitely use you again and recommend your services highly. Thanks again Erik & Susan

Nova Grounds was recommended to me by a friend . Our fence and back yard needed a total facelift , everything was old and needed to be replaced . Tony sat down with me and discussed design concept , materials that he recommended , and the time it would take to complete the job . They stayed on schedule and never missed a beat , even though we added several items during the course of the project they stuck to the same end date . The experience was educational , collaborative and fun . A team that takes pride in their work . I am so happy with my new fence and beautiful landscape . Thank you for a great job done !!

Tony at Nova Grounds took my unusable front & backyard spaces and created a perfect place to relax and host friends/family. They did an amazing job transforming the space, and will definitely be calling them in the future for all my outdoor projects.

Our Community has utilized the services of NOVA Grounds for many years for our snow removal needs. We have a rather large property with complicated parking. NOVA Grounds clears ice and snow well above our expectations every time. They are consistently detail oriented, well researched and have excellent customer service. With a task that goes hand in hand with public safety, it is reassuring to have a company that you can trust.
