"I would like to share my experience with Groundworks. I had the pleasure of
working with Diego A., Cristian F., and Josiah W. At first, I wasn’t sure because
they looked like kids. However, I was wrong they were young men. I explained
the day before they were coming, my father had an appointment at the VA.
Diego was so kind, he told me not to worry about anything to take my time,
and they would be there once I was done. Unbeknownst to them, I saw them
arriving and began watching them on my ring camera. They got there and went
right to work. Please allow me to back up just a little. My apologies. Air and
Drain Works were there before I even left for the VA. After returning they
were still at the house. Air & Drain Works wanted to charge me $700 to dig a
hole to find the drain. Long story short, I almost lost it. Groundwork ended up
digging the hole as they had to dig that area up anyway. Diego said they
would rather dig it up so they would ensure everything would be done
correctly. That really took me back; it was the sweetest thing because he
didn’t have to do that. However, it was very important to him that the job got
done the right way the first time. I left for the VA, knowing we were in good
hands. When we got back home, they waited to ask me about the flowerbed
because they had to dig that area up. Literally, they dug up all my plants that
were there and placed them nicely to the side. They even offered to place
everything back the way it was. Again, I didn't expect that from them. I
declined and said, "I'd take care of it myself.” The best thing about these three
young men is I could tell they were enjoying what they were doing. Great
communication with each other, very respectful, and genuinely cared about
our needs and concerns. The last day, they cleaned everything up; in the front
yard, there was no trash of any kind left behind. I know it may sound crazy, but
these young men did a freaking amazing job. I’d work with them again. They all
had great leadership skills, which was surprisingly because it’s usually the
leader, not the case with these men. I know it may sound corny, but I’m sure
their parents are so proud of them. They must be all of twenty years old to
twenty-two years old. Five stars are NOT enough for them. I wish you boys
nothing but the best they are lucky to have you!"
