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: Small changes like planting flowers or trimming shrubs • Apply mulch • Front yard • Back yard • Side yard • Driveway • No, one-time project • Home

We’re very happy to have found Max! We needed help weeding, pruning our lemon tree, and generally maintaining the landscaping. He’s knowledgeable, meticulous, punctual, and friendly. We’d definitely recommend him!

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

Max is so helpful in the garden! He's easy to communicate with about projects and what you need to accomplish. He has experience with many types of gardens, plant varieties, and what type of care they need year-round.
