  • We begin with a site evaluation and preparation process, which may include the removal of existing landscape or hardscape material. Once this process is completed, we will begin installation.

  • If necessary, we will cut back, prune, and/or remove any unwanted existing material. Sometimes, existing landscape or hardscape material can be relocated to other areas of your property.

  • Some grading (sculpting or leveling of land) may be needed to prepare for installation of rocks, stones, pavers, paths, or other hardscape material. Heavy equipment may be needed and/or used to transport and position hardscape material in place.

Hardscape Install and Placement

We start the installation by preparing your property for the placement of hardscape material. Depending on the configuration of your property some adjustments and/or changes to hardscape material may be necessary once it is set in place in order to accommodate the design. In some cases, larger features like a boulder or wall may be moved slightly to make room for an existing structure.

If any excavation is required, we utilize the 811, national call-before-you-dig phone number, prior to digging, cultivating or tilling. We then note the location of utilities; wires, conductor lines, etc., and mark them accordingly to avoid any damage or disruption in service.

If necessary, we will move, add, or replace existing sprinklers and irrigation lines to accommodate watering needs for other areas of your property. Another important purpose is to ensure excess water is channeled away from the existing structure to stormwater drains and basins.

    This is the second time I’ve had work Done on my backyard by The Grounds Guys in Barrie. They do an absolute amazing job. I cannot compliment their work enough. I would highly recommend them to do any job big or small. I am so happy at the fantastic patio and walkway they installed for me. Their prices are very reasonable.

    The team from Grounds Guys did an amazing job. They were courteous and cleaned up everything after they finished. They even came back the nex morning to seed around the posts and any area that the lawn got damaged. I will definitely recommend and use them for any future projects.

  • White speech bubble with a star in the middle against a green background.

    Great service from The Grounds Guys Barrie. The crew was at our home for four days cleaning beds, edging, moving perennials, reshaping our gardens and finally laying a ton of mulch. Jaclyn and Hailey did most of the work the first couple of days with great care and attention to detail, they worked so diligently to get everything completed to our liking. Very pleasant and knowledgeable, I loved their energy!! The rest of the crew came in the last couple of days for the remainder of cleaning and mulching, I can’t say enough about how pleasant and hard working everyone was. Thank you, you have been the best gardeners we have hired and I am very happy with the end results.
