    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.
