"Ground Effects has responded to both our construction and maintenance needs for the past five years. Their work reflects their attention to quality and professionalism. We are so happy with our designed patio and entertaining area. It is both unique and creative."
"The team from Ground Effects helped us transform an unruly yard to a very appealing and comfortable home. They have maintained our property for the past seven years and done a great job. From small, special projects, to major overhauls, Ground Effects has truly met our needs."
“I have worked with Ground Effects for 20 years. I believe I was one of Sean's first clients. We hired Sean shortly after purchasing our home in Hingham. The property was four acres (unusual for Hingham), largely undeveloped, but showed great potential. Sean and Peter presented a wonderful plan for developing the property, including both landscape and hardscape. Over several years we expanded the lawn, added innumerable flowering trees and plants, large mulch areas, stone walls, waterfall and koi pond, etc.
After such a large investment the care and maintenance of the property was paramount and we looked to Ground Effects to be in essence our "property managers.” Every spring, Sean and Peter would meet to assess the winter damage and discuss what needed to be done. Damaged tree removal, lawn fertilizations, seasonal flowers, and replacement of damaged shrubs. Sean and Peter would oversee all work, whether they did it themselves or contracted it out (tree service, outside lighting, etc). We had total confidence that Sean and Peter would take care of us and take care of our property.
While Sean and Peter were always involved, their work crews were always knowledgeable, courteous and hard working. They always worked as if the property was their property, not some unknown client's. Property management did not end when winter arrived. Snow removal was not always trivial. My property was somewhat difficult to plow and more than once, the plow crews would arrive with mini bobcats. Sean and Peter were wonderful to work with. Always reliable and performed wonderful and creative work with great integrity.
I recently sold my house and moved to Cape Cod. Selling in a competitive market with many other fine and newer homes for sale, I knew my property was going to be the difference maker. Every broker and every potential buyer was awed by the property. I received two offers within three days, at market and at premium. There is no doubt my property sold my home. I would strongly recommend Sean, Peter and the whole Ground Effects crew.”
"I appreciated the job that GFX Landscaping completed for me. From beginning to end the professionalism - combined with really nice people - was great. Meeting with you and putting my ideas together along with adding your expert suggestions made the gardens come together beautifully. I can't wait to add some veggies and plants. Thank you so much, and I will certainly recommend GFX and your crew to anyone."
"I am writing this to let you know how happy I am with the company of Ground Effects out of Marshfield. There customer service is outstanding and you are not just another phone call for them. They listen to your needs and respond quickly to all of your instructions. They stand behind there work and are constantly in touch with you to see how there performance was done and if they can do anything else to help. They are also a great reference for lighting and tree needs as well. My grounds which consist of 2.5 acres have been maintained by them for 3 years now and my husband and I are very happy."
"Luke Hawkins has been managing our lawn and landscaping needs for the last 7 years. The quality of his work is just outstanding. He has worked in numerous capacities for us including mowing, maintenance crew management and currently as Operations Manager. The great thing about Luke is that he truly hears his customers. What is delivered is precisely what was discussed. There are no surprises. He is a pleasure to work with."
"We have been a Ground Effects customer for the past six years and are very happy with the services that they perform. Over the years we have progressed from basic cleanup, trimming and mulching services to full all season care and maintenance of our property including winter snow removal. We have always found that Ground Effects management and personnel are knowledgeable, reliable, and competent. Peter and Sean always respond immediately to any questions or concerns and will come out to the house at any time to help set up any projects that we wish to do. We can very strongly recommend Ground Effects for any property maintenance."
"The administrative staff - the care rendered by Meredith and the dedicated members of the plowing and landscaping staff - a very sincere thank you for all you have all done for me."
"This is the first year we asked Ground Effects Landscaping to take care of our spring cleanup, and we were thrilled with their work. The entire crew worked neatly and efficiently, and our communications with Luke Hawkins in particular made the entire process carefree. We will certainly be using them again in the future for our landscaping projects."
"Luke has been our savior when it comes to all our Landscaping needs. I called Luke when we moved into our new house in Norwell in May 2015, our yard was overgrown and looked horrible, I was in a panic to get it mowed and cleared out. Luke came by within a day of my phone call and then within the week had us on a weekly mowing schedule, truly amazing! He goes out of his way to make sure that every job is done well and up to our expectations. Luke is a very approachable, hardworking professional and I am constantly recommending him and Ground Effects to all of my friends and family."
"We have been a client of Ground Effects since 2005. Ground Effects has done everything for our front and backyards -- spring and fall cleanup, landscaping, weekly mowing, applying organic fertilizer, aerating, etc. When they were in charge, our lawn and bushes looked fantastic! The work crew are skilled, hard-working, courteous and polite.
When I initially lost my job, Peter Bishop sympathetically put us on a payment plan. Eventually we decided to mow and rake ourselves, given my free time and to save some money. Sadly, our landscape has suffered for it.
As soon as we can have professionals care for our lawn again, we will rehire Ground Effects without hesitation. Their prices are more than reasonable and, more importantly, they are dependable. And they are a local family-owned business!
I strongly recommend Ground Effects for all your landscaping needs."
