Company Background
About Ground Source Landscaping
Ground Source Landscaping is a sod, irrigation and landscape installation company at 7395 Hoffner Ave in Orlando, serving homeowners across Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Lake and Volusia counties, with Winter Park, Lake Mary, Kissimmee and Windermere named on its site.
Owner Joe Mouad started the business at 18. The service list covers landscape design and installation, sod installation and delivery, irrigation systems and French drains, paver patios, driveways and walkways, outdoor kitchens and fire pits, and landscape lighting. A commercial landscape construction division sits alongside the residential work. The site is direct that Ground Source does not mow, weed or fertilize, so it is a project contractor rather than a weekly maintenance crew. It also says no down payment is required and customers are billed only after they are satisfied.
Ground Source holds 4.7 from 583 Google reviews, read November 6, 2026. Reviewers describe designers Eric and Jon walking the yard and explaining what caused a lawn problem, and Jasmin following up after the job. One customer had sod laid in July and said it filled in thick and green by following the watering schedule. Another had new Zoysia sod and a new irrigation system installed on back-to-back days. Several reviewers say crews arrived on the promised date and cleaned up afterward. The five most recent reviews we read were all five stars, though a 4.7 average across 583 reviews means some customers have had a rougher experience.
The website says the company is fully licensed and insured but gives no license number or insurer, and its warranty and financing terms sit on separate pages. Ground Source suits homeowners who want new sod, irrigation or pavers installed as one project by a company that sells the sod itself. It suits less well anyone who wants recurring lawn care. Before booking, ask for a written quote that names the grass variety and the irrigation zones, get the warranty terms in writing, and ask for the contractor license or local business tax receipt. Florida does not license general landscaping, but the Florida DBPR license lookup covers contractors for structural or electrical work such as outdoor kitchens and lighting.
