About ServGround

The field work is the job. The office work shouldn't take your evenings.

ServGround is a complete business platform for environmental and land-services firms. It connects your business workflow, a website (we set one up if you don't have one), and an AI receptionist that answers your calls while you're in the field.

Built for soil scientists, septic evaluators, designers, and installers, environmental consultants, architects, land surveyors, and mold inspectors.

Why we built ServGround

Running an environmental or land-services firm involves more than technical work. Client inquiries, proposals, payment follow-ups, and report delivery all take time.

ServGround exists to make that business side easier, so professionals have more time to serve their clients and grow their business.

Your workflow runs the software. Not the other way around. ServGround is built from the ground up for your trade, down to the details:

A request form that drops into your current website
Custom intake questions for each service
Property details on every request
Field forms filled out on site
Reports locked until you get paid

Our mission

Help environmental and land-services professionals spend less time on paperwork, capture more business, and get paid faster.

David Obim

Founder & CEO, ServGround · Concord, North Carolina

My background is in technology. For more than 15 years, I've built and supported enterprise applications, working with systems that help businesses organize information and manage their operations.

With ServGround, I brought that experience into environmental and land services. My focus is on the business work surrounding the technical work: handling inquiries, preparing proposals, collecting payments, and delivering reports.

Working with soil scientists and environmental professionals has helped shape ServGround around their everyday needs. Their feedback continues to guide how I build the platform, with the goal of making it easier for firms like theirs to run their businesses.

Why choose ServGround

One connected system

Website requests and phone calls land in one place, then move from proposal to invoice to report. An accepted proposal can create the invoice, and a paid invoice unlocks the report. No separate automation tools to set up or pay for.

Better control over payments

Accept online payments and keep reports locked until payment is received, with the flexibility to release them for trusted clients.

Support you can count on

Getting started with new software should feel manageable. We provide hands-on onboarding and personal, responsive support to help you make ServGround part of your daily workflow.

When you need help, you can reach someone who knows the platform and cares about resolving your issue.

Your data and security

Your client records, documents, and payments are your business. Here is how we protect them.

Each company’s records are kept separate at the database level, so one business cannot see another’s data.
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, on cloud infrastructure that is SOC 2 Type II audited.
Data is stored in the cloud with automated backups.
Card and bank payments are handled by Stripe. ServGround never stores card numbers.
Proposals, contracts, and reports are stored privately and shared through links that expire.
Two-factor authentication is available for every account.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
