Grounds Control is a small Haverhill landscaping company that's been doing hardscape work since 2000 — the Better Business Bureau lists it as a sole proprietorship with four employees and 26 years in business. Nick, who runs the crew, and his team show up again and again in reviews for paver walkways, patios and retaining walls, and the company says it covers Haverhill, the Merrimack Valley and southern New Hampshire. Eleven reviews make up its written history, most from 2015 through 2021, with just one so far this year — a small sample, but a consistently positive one across every year it covers. A 2015 review described retaining walls, stairs and a paver walkway finished on time and on budget; a 2017 review recounted clearing 60 years of overgrown trees and shrubs and planting 15 new trees within a couple of weeks despite a difficult, messy job; and in 2021, a homeowner had an old wooden deck replaced with a paver patio and granite stairs. The most recent review, from July 2026, praised a quick, professional job on a front walk with good communication throughout. There isn't a large recent sample to weigh against, so it's worth confirming current availability and lead times before booking — but every year of reviews on file tells the same story of on-time, on-budget hardscape work. It's a solid call for paver walkways, patios and retaining walls in the Haverhill area, and for larger cleanup jobs like overgrown tree and shrub removal.
