I honestly didn't care much about mowing the lawn; I just wanted to prevent my yard from turning into a jungle. For about five years, I stuck with one company and never really thought about switching. But at some point, communication issues started to arise. My inquiries weren't being answered properly, and while I understood that they might be busy during the season, they wouldn't even let me know if they couldn't make it. They'd just no-show. Eventually, I decided to end our relationship and start a new business relationship with Grounded Earth.Ulrich is incredibly hardworking. If there's ever a delay, he always contacts me in advance and clearly explains the upcoming plans in detail. As I mentioned, I wasn't particularly interested in yard maintenance, but the lawn Ulrich cuts somehow looks cleaner and more organized. My previous company used gas-powered machines, which were incredibly loud, but Ulrich uses an electric mower. The first day he worked, it was so quiet I actually thought someone else was mowing their lawn!I also requested a property cleanup, and that was handled perfectly as well. Robert, Ulrich's co-worker, came in the early morning, and explained really well about what he was going to do. I'm planning to move forward with their bed maintenance program, and I feel completely confident and at ease entrusting Grounded Earth and Ulrich with my yard care needs. They've truly changed my perception of lawn maintenance!

Very good communication and flexibility. I am so grateful they are an electric only service. I hope this idea takes off!

Grounded Earth is a south Minneapolis company that is helping me control weeds and invasive plants in my yard,. They are very helpful and sent me a video of the work they completed. I'm looking forward to an ongoing relationship with them.

Did a good job cleaning up my front yard! Than you so much!

Many thanks to Robert from Grounded Earth for the fantastic job he did on my garden through the spring and early summer. I've hired Grounded Earth over the last year since my schedule often leaves me little time to tend to my property, and they've taken all the worry out of doing so. Thanks to them, my garden and lawn look fabulous, and I and my cat and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Grounded Earth for their excellent work, their knowledge, courtesy and their eco-oriented practice 🙂

I was really hoping I had found a great company to take over the lawn maintenance for the properties I manage. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing.My biggest concern wasn’t even the original issue—it was the lack of communication and willingness to address my concerns. Rather than working toward a solution, the conversation felt like it went in circles through lengthy emails, which became increasingly frustrating. Beth in the office would tell me one thing, while Ulrich would tell me something completely different. It made the entire process confusing and left me feeling like no one was on the same page.This is actually the first one-star review I’ve ever written, so I don’t leave reviews like this lightly. I simply never felt like my concerns were truly being heard.After reading other recent reviews, I noticed I wasn’t alone in that experience. I saw another customer mention similar concerns about communication, which made me feel this may be an ongoing issue rather than an isolated misunderstanding.I also noticed a pattern in the company’s responses to negative reviews, where the focus seems to be on defending the company’s position rather than acknowledging the customer’s experience or accepting any responsibility. I hope that isn’t the case with this review, but based on what I’ve seen, I wouldn’t be surprised.Because communication, solutions, and accountability are important to me, I’ll be taking my business elsewhere.

I want to preface this by saying I give ratings when things have been done well and when they’ve done poorly. I write this in hopes that it will be helpful for the consumer and Gounded Earth.When they came and did a site visit I wanted A one time weeding. The fellow who took the video said it could probably be done in one visit but they usually do three. No one contacted me that I would need the latter to get everything completed.It turns out they couldn’t do it in one visit. Also they didn’t weed they instead sprayed. Had I known that I would’ve gotten my own herbicide and done it myself. I was grateful for the complementary edging. However I had been working on establishing grass between flagstones. During the edging they scrubbed it all out.When I had concerns they insisted that I do it by email so that they could make sure they understood the problem. We kept going back-and-forth and it was clear they didn’t understand my concerns. I asked several times to talk to somebody live but that didn’t happen. They got credit card information from me on the front end so I had no leverage to withhold payment without a satisfactory resolution.Based on this the consumer should make sure they’ve clarified things and it’s what they want. Grounded Earth needs to be certain the consumer understands what they're getting and to recognize email correspondence is insufficient. Talking directly to someone and/or doing a follow up site visit would've help clarify what my concerns were.

Really love the biweekly lawn service. I am in a very busy phase of my life currently, and it makes things much easier on me to have them take care of the lawn for me. The lawn looks great after they service it and it saves me time. Price is very fair for the work they do. Would highly recommend this service.

Prompt, fair price and quality job.

Outstanding job.We called and scheduled at the last min and they were able to schedule us into their rotation. We just did not have the time to rake this year.The yard is ready for winter...and done exactly like they described on the initial booking call.We will definitely use them for spring prep too!

2025-11-18T21:28:17.409Z

Excellent service

2025-11-05T01:33:23.809Z

Had our lawn edged. The guys were easy to work with. Will gladly hire them again

Be aware that this is a subscription service. If you wish to use them to do a bit of spot yard or gardening work, you may find yourself in a long term subscription with a cancellation policy that you might think is a bit draconian. In this they are similar to a lot of other subscription services that like to assume you want to stay subscribed. I also thought there was a bit too much emphasis on using roundup weed killers instead of manual labor to extract weeds for focused areas, such as a garden. But I was impressed with their video recordings specifying what they did on each visit, and they have a modern communication and billing system with some evidence of AI assistance.

I've used Grounded Earth for 3 years now. They are reliable, friendly, and do a great job on my yard. Ulrich and Robert are fantastic - highly recommend them!

Carl and Tate did a great job with the fall cleanup of my property. Grounded Earth are great to work with and look forward to using them for all my lawn care in the future.

Carl, Tate, wow....Super EXCELLENT work!!! My yard is long, 150 feet, with two yards, upper and lower,quite low. My spouse died, 8 years ago and no one to care for my yard. West Nile Virus encephalitis/meningitis crippled me, so Grounded Earth really saved my property. First Ulrich Faircloth is fair and just as his name indicates. He assessed both yards and was just above another quote I got for only the lower yard. Next, Ulrich is very communicative, prompt, loyal, and thinks outside the box, rare these days! A true farmer, as I was a farmer first part of my life. Next, he is fair and caring about his work crew, and makes certain they are paid fair, and treated with respect. Carl and Tate worked 95 degree swamp thick air, and diligently and efficiently despite extreme temperatures/conditions. They were easy to communicate with. My yard especially the lower had vines, and volunteer trees, and all kinds of invasive weeds, especially the sticky, prickly, burrs, as I live next to the rail road, where everything is like wild MN pasture and woods. So I was worried I could not find a real crew to stick with this job. In fact the worst is all the telephone and power lines in the alley the vines, and I mean 3 inch vines were hanging all over, plus other invasive earth species too. It really was ugly and on top of that, folks volunteered after my spouse died to cover the lower yard in black plastic and all kinds of logs, fencing, and re barr cages from our used to be garden to weigh the plastic down. A nightmare for sure, so hats off to these amazing folks at Grounded Earth. And the number one reason they won me over, is no noise, you don't hear them working with their environmentally great machines, and van. No smell in the air either, and no damage to the Bee's, Bird's, Butterflies' and my cat as Ulrich uses non toxic weed control for those nasty railroad vines/burdock and buckthorn, volunteer sumac, and some black oak thing. ugh. Ulrich knows all of those biological plants, and is an expert at his science to manage with environmental consciousness and getting a yard back. That was my secondary and 'won me over' reason for hiring him. Plus he really went out of his way to understand my widow permanently disabled financial situation too since I live below the poverty line, for real. And I am not a lazy person either, I work part time as a hospice Chaplain! Before going onto disability I worked for my Community 25 years Hampden Park Coop, and St Anthony Park Block Nurse program, 15 years as the Cook, and the Skilled nursing home too. I like working for community companies and supporting them wholeheartedly. At age 63 I really needed help, so Ulrich Faircloth, and Grounded Earth team, Hat's off again!

Highly recommend Grounded Earth - great communication, thorough documentation, excellent service work, and reasonable price! Our busy lives this summer led us to neglect our backyard, and we badly needed a fall cleanup and needed it soon. We submitted a request for a quote and Ulrich responded and quickly sent his team out. We promptly received a reasonable quote, as expected because prices are available on their website. We explained to Ulrich that we were in a pinch and he was willing and able to accommodate. Tate came out and quickly worked through the backyard cleanup. Every item on the quote was completed. Tate’s work and attention to detail was impeccable! Everything was documented in writing, photos, and videos, from the assessment to the follow up, and all documentation was made available to us after the job. Not only are we pleased with the perfectly executed job, but we’re so happy to have found a reliable and professional company for future service. Thank you, Tate and Ulrich!

Ulrich and the team at Grounded Earth (Tate and Carl) are fantastic! Busy life made it hard for us to maintain our yard. It was an overgrown mess and constant source of stress because we could never find the time or energy to do the necessary cleanup and maintenance. Ulrich and the Grounded Earth team responded to our inquiry promptly and approached the cleanup of our yard with care and attention to detail that left us feeling immensely proud of our yard and the end result. We enjoyed our experience working with them so much that we continued services the next season with regular mowing maintenance. Their work has taken our yard from a source of constant stress, worry and burden to a point of pride and place that our young family likes to spend time. The inquiry process and managing ongoing services and payment is super easy and user-friendly and Ulrich, Tate and Carl are incredibly friendly and professional. Can't recommend highly enough!
