The Grounds Guys

About Us
We began with a single vision shared between 10 brothers. Originally, we opened our doors as Sunshine Grounds Care in 1987. As time passed and more brothers joined the project, it became a widely recognized brand built on the principles of excellent workmanship, customer satisfaction, and real care.
The Grounds Guys was transformed with help from Neighborly, formerly Dwyer Group, in 2010. Since then, The Grounds Guys has exploded nationwide with more than 180 franchise locations around the U.S. and Canada. Despite these exciting developments, our original vision for hard work and value has remained the same. Since then, The Grounds Guys.
Our clients trust us to provide quality services in the area of landscaping and lawn care. We abide by the simple values outlined in our company acronym "C.A.R.E.", which are: Customers first, Attitude, Respect, and Enjoy life in the process! These values remain consistent across all of our nationwide locations and set our landscaping and lawn care services apart from the competition.

Why Franchise With Us
The Grounds Guys is a member of the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) and the Snow & Ice Management Association (SIMA). We are proud to have been included in Lawn&Landscape's Top 100 and strive to always deliver award-winning services people can trust.
