Last 6 months: 10 reviews, 3 negative. ## The honest read Total Grounds Landscape works out of Tilton, and the jobs people hire it for run from spring cleanups and hydroseeded lawns to patios, stone walkways and septic system replacements. Its website says it services central New Hampshire with residential and commercial landscape and snow maintenance. On Google it holds 4.6 stars from 95 ratings. A recent customer said the company added a privacy berm with trees and perennials, removed the old lawn and installed sod, coordinating with their irrigation company on the upgrades. A recent septic customer said Taylor came out to assess the job, the estimate arrived by email within a couple of days, and Peter and Dillon worked through 90 degree heat. A recent spring-cleanup customer said every leaf was cleared, the lawn dethatched and the mulch beds edged. A 2025 customer described a project of two-plus weeks with a retaining wall, a crushed stone and bluestone walkway, grading and replaced deck posts, with a few punch-list items addressed later. A 2025 customer at a nine-building condo association in Laconia said the company handled snow removal for a 170-space parking lot. A 2023 customer said Josh answered every phone call and email during a septic replacement and front-lawn job. A recent spring-cleanup customer said the crew came out while it was still raining, a ride-on leaf blower tore up the saturated lawn, and two more trips the customer had to request were needed to finish. A recent reviewer objected to leaf blowing next to windows at 7:00 am on a Saturday. In 2023, a customer said the company quoted $585 for a spring cleanup of a small lawn that was 90% covered by snow, after saying it would cancel their lawn cutting without spring and fall cleanups. A 2023 reviewer said it took until 7:24 PM after a day of snow for a plow to touch their parking lot. **Strengths:** - Septic installs — a recent customer said the estimate arrived within days - A thorough spring cleanup — a recent customer said every leaf was cleared - A hydroseeded lawn — a 2025 customer said it was regraded and loamed first **Concerns:** - A rainy-day cleanup — a recent customer said a leaf blower tore up the lawn - Early leaf blowing — a recent reviewer objected to 7:00 am Saturday blowing - Slow plowing — a 2023 reviewer said the lot waited until 7:24 PM ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Holds 4.6 stars from 95 Google ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Total%20Grounds%20Landscape&query_place_id=ChIJ_Ysp9hUL4okRgm5e4YX_qhM) — “Google: 4.6★ from 95 ratings” - Says it services central New Hampshire with residential and commercial landscape and snow maintenance _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://www.totalgroundsnh.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Servicing central New Hampshire, Total Grounds is an innovative, industry leader offering excellence in eve…” - A recent customer described a privacy berm with trees and perennials plus sod installation _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2tkc2RqWnRSR053TW1Kb2NWbEtRamsyTWtVMlIxRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x13aaff85e15e6e82!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOkdsdjZtRGNwMmJocVlKQjk2MkU2R1E%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ We decided to change landscapers in the height of the busy Summer season.
