FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I first started working in the landscape with my uncle when I was 19. I needed money to buy books for college. I ended up developing an instant love for landscaping.

Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Why should you hire me? Because I LOVE dogs, and they love me! On a serious note… I have 10 years experience in Property Management, Maintenance, and Landscaping. Honesty, transparency, and communication are extremely important to me. I have extreme attention to detail. I look forward to building relationships, bettering my community, and making a difference in my own little corner of the world. (Side note: I love all animals, really. You will most likely see me pulling over to help dogs that got loose, as well as moving butterflies, spiders, and other critters to safety while working in your yard… I have even been known to rescue an injured bird or 2.)

I can’t give Jess high enough ratings and praise for how she and her team beautifully transformed and restored my property in Durham. 👏👏👏.
I live out of state and had discovered my now former landscaper was doing nothing- my yard looked like an abandoned lot. 😣
I contacted Clays properties over the 4th of July holiday weekend, distraught. Jess got right back to me, we discussed what I needed. She scheduled a visit for an estimate that week, , she communicated consistently with me, quoted the job, I hired her, and she went to work! This was the best decision I’ve made in a long time! 😀. These photos are a side garden Jess restored that was formally overrun with weeds, small maples. It’s beautiful now. Such care and attention to detail. I can’t thank her and her team enough!
Details: Home • Every 2 weeks • 5,000 - 10,000 sq ft • Standard (up to 6 in) • Bag and haul • No, I don't need to be there

I wish I had taken before and after pictures -- you would not believe the transformation! From weeds with flowers in a garden to FLOWERS IN A GARDEN! Cannot say enough good things about this group if you are serious about the project, bring them in, you will not be disappointed.
Details: Residential • Extra small (less than 1,000 sq ft) • Yes, I will provide plants • Once a week • Weeding

There were a lot of weather problems (crazy wing and rain) but Jess did everything she could to get things done in a timely manner despite that—even when it was still sprinkling! She went above and beyond and clearly cared about the project more than just ‘completing’ it and really getting things in the right place and looking good! Highly recommend.
Details: One time only • Residential • 5,000 - 10,000 sq ft (0.11-0.23 acres) • Leaf clean-up • Mowing, trimming, and edging • Weeding and prevention • Tall Grass (6 to 12 inches) • No, I don't need to be there

Sprinkling? Gorlfraaand, I was out there when a monsoon and hurricane Katrina were making a baby 🤣. LOVED meeting you and am happy to have a new customer/friend 😊.

We reached out to Jess for help hauling away trash after moving into our house. She was super responsive and she and a member of her team arrived right when they said they would, worked quickly, and charged us a great price. They were both friendly and loved meeting our rescue pup, which was a huge bonus. Definitely planning to work with her again on future landscaping and house needs!
Details: No large items to haul • Mixed trash • Enough to fill two pickup trucks • There are no flights of stairs
