  We hired Carson Groundworks to fix a badly waterlogged side lawn, and we couldn't be happier with the results. John met with us for a site visit in late April, listened to our needs, and provided a clear, written estimate. By late June, his crew spent two solid days digging a 60-foot trench for a French drain and tying in our gutter downspouts. They were working with tough rocky clay and heavy subsurface water pressure from the hill behind our house, but they handled it like true professionals. What really stood out was how they looked out for us during the project. They were incredibly proactive, noticing a few extra things that needed attention and just taking care of them to ensure the best possible result. For example, they extended the French drain an extra 10 feet to cover more of the backyard, added perforated pipe to the tail ditch because they noticed the area was especially wet, and even cleaned up, seeded, and strawed an electrical trench that had been left rough by another contractor. We preferred the drain to be hidden under the grass, so they accommodated us by flawlessly finishing the top with fabric, topsoil, seed, and straw instead of exposed stone. The system works perfectly. Even during a hot, dry stretch, we could see the pipe steadily draining about a gallon of water every five minutes just from the subsurface pressure. If you want a dependable, proactive team that truly cares about the quality of their work, I highly recommend John and his crew. 5 stars.

  Amazing job! They dug out a gravel bank to clear a spot for a three-car garage. Graded the the rest of the bank so I could mow. First time in 15 years I've been able to mow that bank.

  We recently had our church grounds plowed by Carson Groundworks, and we couldn't be more pleased with the service. The work was professional, efficient, and thorough, ensuring that every area was cleared perfectly. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality truly stood out. We highly recommend Carson Groundworks for any groundwork needs!

  John Carson came over and personally discussed options to fix drainage in front of our house, even though it was a pretty small job. His crew of two men arrived exactly when they said they would and did the job very quickly. It looks good and so far it works well. I highly recommend Carson Groundworks.

  I am one of the owners/cooperators at Acropolis Cooperative on South Hill. We have relied on Carson Groundworks for the past several years for improvements to our property and routine maintenance. We have found John Carson to be reliable, dependable, efficient and cost-effective. We rely on his expertise and strong customer service. He has never let us down. We highly recommend him.
