I highly recommend working with Max. I had some areas in my front yard and side yard that I wanted to change up. He helped me work with the spaces and some plants that were already there. He provided consultation on plants and lay out and then did the install (planting, getting irrigation lined up and fixed in some spots, and mulching). I really appreciated that he worked with my ideas but also definitely advised on what he thought would work for the space and aesthetically. He also gave me options in terms of work he could do or I could decide to take on if I wanted to keep costs down, which I found very helpful. Overall I am super pleased with the outcome and will definitely call on Max again for additional gardening needs!

Max and his helper Mya did an outstanding job weeding, pruning and mulching my entire place. It was a really big job (24 yardwaste bags + my green bin) but they powered through it and even came in slightly under the estimated time/budget. I highly recommend Max and will be asking him back in a couple of weeks for some planting (I would have them come back sooner but he is booked out).

Details: Residential • Small (less than 1,000 sq ft) • A week ago • No, I prefer no herbicides to be used • No, I don't need to be there • Once a month
