Looking for Landscaping in Danbury CT?

The Danbury Review interviews Corby Hocker, The owner of The Grounds Guys of Danbury.  The Grounds Guys offer lawn maintenance, and full service landscaping to the local Danbury area including Southbury, Brookfield, Bethel, Newton, Sandy hook and more.  Corby had a very interesting story as he was traveling the world as an investment banker not too long ago.  He had been doing landscaping as a hobby his entire life, but only recently did he take his passion for the outdoors and turn it into a reality.  

Being an investment banker meant much time away from his family, and even less time outdoors.   Nowadays, he's a The Grounds Guys franchisee, and spends his time building a business he loves.  Corby can be found planting shrubs, gardens, perennials, annuals, trees, and cleaning up after storms.  When he's not caring for his clients throughout the Greater Danbury area you'll be able to find him on the soccer field, basketball court or skating around the hockey rink with his energetic four kids!

When did you start the Grounds Guys of Danbury?

I started The Grounds Guys in March of last year, and we're growing rapidly with the help of our team. Becoming a part of The Grounds Guys was one of the best choices I've ever made.  The Grounds Guy's core values were right in line with mine, and the franchise provides a ton of support including the back office, marketing and brand recognition.  

​Cara McArdle joined The Grounds Guys team as a Design & Marketing expert, both graphical and garden design.  She's equally skilled in creating our marketing materials and designing/installing flower and vegetable gardens for our clients.  We've recruited some great people over the past year that do landscaping, tree work and lawn maintenance, but are always looking for hard workers who have a passion for providing high quality service.

What's the toughest thing you went through then opening the Grounds Guys of Danbury?

Hiring the right people isn't the easiest thing to do.  The weather isn't always sunny and warm, and the days aren't always short.  We have high requirements for our employees including drug testing.  The hardest thing for us was finding good help.  Today's new culture is different, and hard workers are definitely hard to come by.  But I feel great about the team I have, know they have the same values for quality service that I do, and we are ready for spring.

If a customer was looking for landscaping in Danbury and had to choose between the Grounds Guys and 3 other businesses just like it - why choose yours?

The customer service that The Grounds Guys is able to give to each and every customer.  There are a lot of landscaping services around, but not many that have a standard of service required by a parent company.  Those standards combined with my own personal commitment to building a trusted, reliable, high quality landscaping business are what set us apart.  You know when a uniformed, scheduled Grounds Guy landscaper comes to your home you can expect a very high standard of service.  We do everything from lawn care to tree removal.  The reviews on our Facebook page confirm that.  Every customer matters.  If there is a rain or other delay the customer is notified of that.  I do exactly what I say I'm going to do.  Superior customer service combined with quality service is the name of my game.
 
Some services sell on price, and you know, you get what you pay for.  I focus on the value you get from my services.  I want you to feel like the investment was worth it, and it will show in your landscape.  That’s what makes me excited to get out there every day.
 
There is plenty of business around the Danbury area, and I know my clients have a choice.  When they give the Grounds Guys a chance to meet their home care needs, our clients are happy with the results and continue as our clients.  We can’t wait to meet more of our neighbors in the Greater Danbury area and show what the Grounds Guys can do.

In 6 months from now, where would you like the Grounds Guys Business to be?

Double in size!  I'd like us to be at 2 trucks, and 2 full-time crews.  There is plenty of business around the Danbury area, and many people are settling for sub-par lawn service.  Our team can't wait until the Greater Danbury area realizes what they're missing out on!

Wrapping things up with the Grounds Guys of Danbury

Corby was a real stand up guy.  Learning that he was traveling the world as an investment banker, but changed his whole career around to be able to spend time with his family and work outside was impressive.  Making a big career change while needing to support a family is admirable.
