About Us

Ground Effects Lawn & Landscaping was founded by Rick and Matt DaPra in the Spring of 2007.  Their shared passion for the industry and commitment to high quality service still remains today and is the key factor to the overall success and growth of the business.

In 2010 when Matt graduated from high school he was destine to find a way to take Ground Effects Lawn & Landscaping to the next level.  At that moment he decided he was going to attend Michigan State University to obtain a Bachelors degree in Horticulture Science Landscape Design & Build.  At Michigan State University Matt became more educated and aware of the opportunities that the green industry held.  He gained memberships to professional organizations like PLANET, MGIA and MNLA and networked with some of the industry’s most highly recognized professionals.  Excited and eager to grow the family business upon graduation from Michigan State Matt kicked the business into high gear in the spring of 2014 offering a variety of services previously not offered due to lack of knowledge.

What started out as a small mowing company has expanded into a full service landscaping company offering everything from landscape design and installation to complete property maintenance.  Attention to detail, commitment to high quality of service, and professionalism are a few of the reasons Ground Effects Lawn & Landscaping has been able to keep its customers loyal and continue to grow year after year.

Continuing education through attending trade show seminars, conferences, classes and memberships to professional organizations Rick and Matt are eager to become one of the most highly recognized landscape companies in Michigan.
