Our Story

Humble Beginnings

I founded Groundforce back in March 2015 with a handful of experienced employees. I saw an opportunity in the market for a large landscaping firm that not only offered a high class finish but also a service that had depth and knowledge of the industry.

Since then Groundforce has surpassed my expectations, gaining multiple commercial customers, alongside a very loyal residential client base.

This progression has been achieved by hard working and dedicated employees, from skilled landscapers to a driven management team. It’s their combined efforts that will enable further improvement and development, and allow me to ensure that Groundforce continues to excel in its field.

The Faces Behind the Work

Michael Brend

Michael Brend

Owner

Having pursued his dream of farming on leaving school at sixteen, Mike has always paddled his own canoe in business. After making the decision to diversify his family farm, Groundforce was created in 2015. With his farming and landscaping experience it was a natural fit as he could utilise parts of the farm and its machinery. As the demand for Groundforce’s services grew, so did the workforce. As well as a team of landscapers, a management team was also formed to ensure the company continues to grow successfully.
