Primary Grounds is a full service lawn care and landscaping company. Here at Primary Grounds we specialize in the personal attention and exceptional detail of every project. We offer landscape architectural design and professional maintenance, personally customized to meet your needs, lifestyle, and budget. That is the Primary Grounds difference. At Primary Grounds, our primary focus is you! Primary Grounds began as a lawn mowing and minor landscaping business in the spring of 1989 by the current owner, Scott Rau.

Anyone can plant trees and shrubs and arrange them to look interesting. But it takes the knowledge and experience of Primary Grounds landscape designers to understand the critical and subtle aspects of landscaping; for example, knowing that some plants growing on the east side of your home might not do as well planted on the west side. You can trust Primary Grounds to deliver results that will exceed your expectations. Form, color, texture, symmetric or asymmetric balance, use of focal points are all elements of landscape design.

Water gardens and water features such as ponds, streams, fountains and waterfalls can be a dramatic focal point in any landscape and the beauty and serenity of the sight and sound of moving water creates a peaceful, soothing ambiance by which to relax and enjoy. Primary Grounds professionals can make your outdoor space a truly special place to retreat. We also offer annual maintenance plans that include spring startups and winterization.

Lighting is often far undervalued and under utilized in the residential landscape. However, a well designed lighting plan customized for your home can transform your landscape and home exterior into an inviting mix of beauty, drama and appeal. Landscape lighting can add a touch of natural beauty with the interplay of light and shadows. Outdoor lighting can do more than enhance the architectural and landscape beauty of your property. Consider, for example, that LED yard lights are less likely to attract mosquitoes than incandescent lights.
