What Groundtec Inc does

GroundTec Inc is a design-build landscape construction company founded in 2019 and headquartered at 200 Maron Rd, Hatfield, Pennsylvania. The company provides integrated landscape design, hardscape installation, outdoor structure construction, custom stone masonry, and stormwater management services to residential homeowners and commercial property owners across Southeastern Pennsylvania and parts of New Jersey, covering over 100 cities and towns including Montgomery County, the Philadelphia suburbs, the Lehigh Valley, and select New Jersey municipalities. Its service portfolio spans patios and walkways, outdoor kitchens, fire features, retaining walls, water features, outdoor lighting, custom stone masonry, permeable pavements, and 3D landscape design visualization, with stormwater management and green-infrastructure installation positioned as a distinguishing capability. The company is recognized by the Philadelphia Water Department as the number one residential stormwater management installer in Philadelphia and is a certified Belgard installer featured in Belgard's 2018 and 2019 Outdoor Living Catalogs.

GroundTec operates as a single-source outdoor solution, managing multiple trades—landscape, hardscape, carpentry, masonry, drainage, and concrete—under a unified design-build project approach. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services contracts quoted per scope, with customer acquisition driven by free one-hour consultations, a website survey form, and separate inquiry channels for residential (Ext. 1) and commercial (Ext. 2) leads. Marketing leverages a website, an educational blog, Facebook and Instagram organic content, plus listings on Houzz Pro and Angie's List. The company holds a Pennsylvania Home Improvement Contractor registration (HIC #PA061008) and is privately held with Michael Rorvik serving as Owner and General Manager and Jonathan Pignatelli handling residential project management; no external funding, parent company, or subsidiary relationships are disclosed.

The company's commercial positioning is anchored by two named institutional customers—Moorestown Friends School and Virtua Health Access Center—alongside an unquantified long-tail of residential projects. The strategic relationship with the Philadelphia Water Department on green-infrastructure incentive programs and grants functions as both a lead source and a credibility anchor for the stormwater service line, while the Belgard partnership provides access to premium hardscape materials and co-marketing visibility. GroundTec has no disclosed API, software platform, or technology integrations beyond standard website and social media properties.

The company runs two dedicated divisions — a residential division and a commercial division — each with its own phone extension, project manager, and project portfolio. Its core services include patios and walkways, retaining walls, permeable pavements, outdoor kitchens, fire and water features, outdoor lighting, custom stone masonry, pavilions and pergolas, and 3D design visualization.

Product overview

Groundtec Inc is a design-build landscape construction company providing a unified suite of outdoor living services. The core offering combines landscape design consultation, 3D visualization, and installation services across multiple categories including patios and walkways, outdoor kitchens, fire features, outdoor structures (pavilions and pergolas), retaining walls, water features, outdoor lighting, custom stone masonry, and permeable pavements. A key differentiating service is storm water management, where the company holds recognition as the number one residential storm water management installer in Philadelphia according to the Philadelphia Water Department. The company operates as a single integrated service offering rather than separate modular products, serving residential and commercial clients throughout South Eastern Pennsylvania and parts of New Jersey.
