At Primary Grounds, our focus is simple: you. We bring dedication, craftsmanship, and personal care to every lawn, garden, and outdoor space we touch. From your first call to the final walk-through, we’re committed to delivering a landscaping experience that reflects your lifestyle, vision, and expectations.
What began in 1989 as a modest lawn-mowing side gig by founder Scott Rau has grown — step by step, season by season — into a full-service landscaping company serving homes and businesses across central Indiana.
As a family-owned team, we never lost sight of our roots. The values and attention to detail that drove our early days remain at the heart of everything we do. Today, Primary Grounds is proud to be recognized among the region’s premier residential and commercial landscapers.

Experienced, skilled team: Our crew includes certified professionals and trained technicians — from design to maintenance — ensuring high-quality workmanship and consistent results.
Community commitment: We don’t just work in your neighborhoods — we’re part of them. Over the years, we’ve contributed to local schools, hospitals, public spaces, and municipal beautification efforts.

At the heart of Primary Grounds is a dedicated staff of professionals — from office administration and management to our grounds crews. Each person invests time, expertise, and care to make sure your landscaping needs are met.
Over the years, we’ve earned a number of awards and accolades, including service excellence recognitions, safety and performance acknowledgements, and honors for outstanding landscaping projects. These serve as a testament to our commitment to quality — but more importantly, as proof that we deliver results.
We’re proud to serve Greenwood, Center Grove, and many surrounding communities across central Indiana. Beyond working on residential and commercial properties, we actively contribute to local initiatives — from school beautification and hospital landscaping to municipal landscaping projects and holiday lighting in town centers. We believe in giving back to the communities where we live and work — because they’re more than service areas. They’re home.
Whether you’re looking for a full landscape transformation, routine maintenance, or seasonal services — we’re ready to help. Let’s talk about what you envision.
