I had a lot of weeds in my front rock area and two small areas that we use to grow veggies in. They were totally covered in weeds and grass. My husband had a stroke and I have spinal issues. It was all left go and Sam cleaned it all out and removed dead plants. It looks great. Front Rock area is perfect.

Sam came the next day on time as stated. He did a very good job putting together a backyard patio using pavers and rocks with edging. He is very detail oriented and I would trust him to do any job. I will use him in the future and so will my neighbors. If you want something done give Sam a call.
