Making the best of your home means taking care to dress it surrounding with complimentary accents. With our unique seasons and weather, Alaska landscaping comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes. You can use trees to create shade and drama to a front yard. Walkways give visitors a decorative path to navigate around your home.

Shrubs, fences and walls frame the grounds and can provide privacy. All of these elements come together with the right design. Ground Effects brings 20 years of professional landscape design to every project. We also bring great insight and imagination. Above all, Ground Effects listens to what you want and is concerned about your particular needs.

Soil & Grading

Report

Dealing with drainage problems around your home, trees, and landscaping is usually a matter of applying the correct soil and grading for each particular situation. Proper grading can redirect excess water to a lower area like a drainage ditch or catch basin.

Hydro Seeding

Report

Your relationship with your lawn can sometimes be a love-hate relationship. You love it when it is plush and green, but hate how much time and effort it takes to get it looking so good. And if you are like most, you have tried a few different methods in efforts to transform your yard into a Home & Garden centerfold. Ground Effects has the perfect solution, hydro seeding.

Water Features

Report

Water features add personality to any yard. They can capture the essence of the rugged out doors with a rustic pond or soothe the mind with a peaceful waterfall. In every case, water features create a focal point and depth to any space. There are many things to consider when putting in a water feature next to or around your home.

Retaining Walls

Report

Retaining walls are an integral part of many Alaskan residential landscape designs. Ground Effects adds pizazz and elegance to any yard. Retaining walls serve many purposes, including structural and aesthetic values. You can use them to elevate the height of your garden or simply stabilize the natural slope of your back yard.

Maintenance

Report

Alaskans love their summers. Many of us love to fish, camp, hunt, ride motorcycles, and other outdoor activities. The one thing that can keep us from enjoying our short summers having to stay home to do ground maintenance and take care of our yards; unless you hand over that chore to us.

The Ground Effects team has been great to work with. I interacted a bit with the office staff and they were friendly. The work crews have been courteous and do great work. The shining star though has to be Todd. He's been on top of all the details and interpreting what we want to help produce an amazing final product. A few bumps along the way but Todd listened to our input and got things corrected. Scope of a project often changes but the team handled every change we made in stride. We're waiting on the spray grass, but I would work with them again.

Ground Effects (American Landscaping) was the only business that responded to phone calls after I'd spent considerable time and money preparing our landscape by bringing in dozens of dump loads of topsoil and spreading it with heavy equipment. The crew they sent were top notch. Even with equipment breakdown they returned to complete the project. A year later the new lawn looks incredible. My Labs love it, too. Highly recommend.

We had our initial full landscaping (pavers, patio, rock wall, sod) and an additional project (paver extension) done by Ground Effects. In both cases they worked hard and achieved our goals for the property. Very responsive, punctual, and they make the effort to start and finish early when they can. Polite crews, left the area as clean as they found it.
