Our Story
We started the groundUP s.s.i. to provide businesses throughout Texas and Illinois with honest, dependable pavement and signage services backed by decades of combined expertise. Over the years, we've grown through word of mouth and the trust of retail centers, schools, industrial parks, and property managers who rely on our responsive scheduling and dependable turnaround.
From the historic warehouses of downtown Dallas to sprawling suburban business parks along I-30 and I-35E, we adapt our climate-specific techniques to meet each location's unique demands. Our crews combine precision workmanship with specialized approaches—from cold-weather crack sealing in the Midwest to high-heat sealcoating systems designed for Texas summers.
We're proud to support businesses along major corridors like IL-251, I-90, and I-30, helping properties maintain safety and professionalism year-round. Backed by local roots and long-term client partnerships, we continue to grow through referrals and reputation built from the ground up.

We're Your Go-to Problem Solvers
We bring a level of professionalism to the site maintenance industry that you don't often see with many of our competitors. It starts with the proposal process. We actually show up to meet with you on site when needed to review your project. We then provide a concise proposal that spells out exactly what you're getting (we don't hand write proposals and lump everything into one category).
We schedule the work to least inconvenience you and your customers - even if it means starting the project after close of normal business hours.
When we arrive on site to do the work, we set up a tarp to protect your lot from spills.
We want you to have a great experience. We look at every parking lot as if it was our own. We try to save you money wherever we can. We also make sure that the job is done correctly - even if it means that we have to work extra hours to make that happen. We don't just want your project - we want your business. We value the relationship much more than we value the fee for a single project. This is evident by the number of repeat customers that we work with - many of them for more than a decade.
the groundUP stores & the groundUP s.s.i. operates with 12 basic business practices and goals in mind:
Provide our customers with good quality products – most of which are made right here in the U.S.A.
Provide honest and fair pricing – if we save money, you should save money too.
Assure that our customers purchase the products that are appropriate for their specific needs and wants.
Stand behind our products and services while offering our customers a warranty on everything that we sell and all of our services.
Strive for 100% customer satisfaction with each and every transaction.
Treat even the smallest order and project with the same urgency and respect that others might reserve for just their biggest customers.
Do what we say we’re going to do, when we say we’re going to do it.
Communicate with our customers when unforeseen delays do occur (we won’t leave you guessing).
Always search for the win-win (this carries through to our customers, partners, vendors and employees).
Become the “go-to” problem solvers for our customers in as many categories as possible. The best compliment we get from our customers is when they call us and ask “can you also do…?”
Never forget that business is about relationships (it’s not just about sales).
Protect the greatest asset that we will ever own – our reputation.
We bring a level of professionalism and customer service into this venture that you don’t often find with site maintenance companies.
It’s through our follow-up and honest business practices that we’ve managed to garner the trust of many companies throughout the Upper Midwest, continually growing since our inception in 2009.
We’re always looking at ways to expand and develop our business. We welcome your input.
• If you find something that you don’t think fits with our principals and goals, please let us know.
• If you know of a product or service that you think would be a good fit for us to sell, please contact us.
•If there’s something that we do well, then tell a friend.
• If there’s something that we don’t do well, then tell us – we’ll make every effort to correct the situation and prevent it from happening again.
Thank you for choosing the groundUP for your maintenance needs.
