I absolutely loved working with Erika! She responded immediately to my request for general weeding + getting rid of unruly blackberry vines, and her hourly rate was a lot more reasonable than others'. She showed up early on both days, was super friendly and nice, and did an excellent job with some truly gnarly vines and weeds. I'll definitely hire her again for garden jobs. :)

Details: Residential • Small (less than 1,000 sq ft) • Over a month ago • Pro's recommendation • No, I don't need to be there • Only one time

I was impressed with her work. Erika took the time to prune and shape my Japanese Maple. She went back three time between pruning to view the tree in all directions and then cut and shaped my tree beautifully. She also took a final photo. Just like I would have done. Also the front planter area was cleaned up with the remaining dried and dead plants from last fall. I am very happy that she has agreed to be my regular gardner from now on. Coming once week until every part of my garden areas are cleaned up and then we will decide how often to come back to keep my garden looking great.

Details: Residential • Maintain an existing garden • Extra small (less than 1,000 sq ft) • Yes, I will provide plants • I don't need a sprinkler or drip system installed • Every other week • Weeding
