Expert Landscape Construction & Outdoor Living Space Specialists in Florida

"First and foremost I want to start off by saying I was very unsure with how I wanted to upgrade my landscaping but I knew I wanted something that was low maintenance and more on the modern side. After seeing the work Ricky and his team did at my daughter's house, I knew this was the company to work with. I can go on for days sharing how professional Ricky, Brian and their entire team is. I never once felt pressured to make any type of decision. Instead, I was given many options and ideas to full-fill my landscaping project. Total Grounds is a company of their word from their quotes, to the timing of the project etc. Never once was there a hidden up charge or any surprised fine print. If i could give 100 stars I would."

"We are late in posting this as Ricky and his crew were here last year and did a beautiful job. We've been in our home over 2 years dealing with dirt/sand-they transformed that into a beautiful front and back patio leading all around the perimeter. He made our house look like a home-total transformation. Absolutely beautiful. Looking forward to future projects with him."

"Total Grounds Management recently completed a pergola demolition and full returfing project at our expansive dog park at The Bartram in Gainesville, Florida, and we could not be more pleased with the results. Ricky and his team were exceptional from start to finish—highly professional, prompt, communicative, and extremely efficient without ever sacrificing attention to detail. Their pricing was fair and reasonable, and the project was completed quickly while maintaining the high standards required at an upscale, highly visible multifamily community such as ours. As a Class A property where curb appeal, safety, and overall presentation are paramount, our expectations are high—and Total Grounds Management exceeded them. The quality of workmanship and pride taken in their work was evident throughout the process and in the finished product. We have been so impressed with their performance that we have already elected to engage Total Grounds Management for additional projects to further enhance our community. I would confidently and highly recommend Ricky and his team to anyone seeking reliable, detail-oriented, and top-tier grounds and exterior improvement services. Jeanine Hall, Vice President North Florida and General Manager— The Bartram, Gainesville, FL"

"Absolutely amazing! Ricky and Bryan are not just awesome business people, but caring, and genuinely good people. They knew my yard layout was going to be a challenge, and they knew drainage was going to be difficult but they worked very carefully and hard at the problem. They communicated quickly, and professionally along the way. As a business manager myself, I would want to be treated how they treated me. We had multiple headaches along the way that no one could have expected or really prevented but they overcame them all. I had an emergency situation arise, and before Ricky even knew what was going on, or if it was something that was their fault, he was on the way ready to help. They take so much pride in their work and strive for excellence, you don’t see these things anymore, most people would have said they would come out in days or weeks or want to charge just to look a problem. Not here though! I cannot thank Ricky and his team enough for the amazing work and dedication to making our home our dream home!"

"Thank you Total Grounds Management for a great job. We wanted a paver pad and firepit to enjoy here in Alachua, before the holidays. Ricky, Bryan and the crew made it happen, exceeding our expectations! Very professional team, will have them back for the next project. 10/10 recommend!"

"We highly recommend Total Grounds Management for your outdoor spaces whether its a small project or large one, like we had done. Ricky, Brian and their crew were great from the planning to the execution of our pizza oven/fireplace and wraparound porch with pavers. The communication and workmanship was stellar. The price was fair for the amount of material and labor needed to create a great addition to your home! Call them! You won't regret it."

"been wanting to fix up the front walkway for a while but didn’t want some cheap quick job that would crack in a year. finally called total grounds pavers after seeing their work at my cousin’s place. they came out pretty quick to give me a quote, actually measured everything, and showed me a few different stone options instead of just telling me “this is what we use.” i liked that they let me decide without trying to upsell something way out of budget. on install day, the crew showed up on time (rare these days) and got right to work. they worked steady, even in the heat, and kept the yard neat while they were doing it. by the end of the day, the walkway was done and honestly looked even better than i imagined edges are straight, pattern is clean, and it really adds to the curb appeal. for the quality and the fact they did what they promised, i think it was worth every penny. if i ever do the backyard patio, total grounds pavers will be my first call."
