Hired on Thumbtack

Had a climbing rose in my yard that grew way up high where it was encroaching on my neighbor’s house/gutter. Max & team gave it a proper pruning - clearly experienced and also gave me care instructions so I can keep the plant healthy (admittedly I had been neglecting it!). Would hire again
