About
My name is Jay and I am a highly dependable, trustworthy and hard working freelancer specializing in music creation, landscaping, and general assistance for household chores and maintenance.
Aside from my home service freelancing work, I have been a professional songwriter and performer my whole life (I make music under the name Jay Bragg - check me out!) and during my free time, I offer a suite of home services to customers in the middle Tennessee area.
I come with a stellar 5 star rating and I pride myself on my superior communication with my clients, establishing a level of trust that almost always results in return customers.
I apprenticed under a landscape designer and certified horticulturist during high school and college in New England where I am from and have continued the landscaping trade throughout my life when I’m not making music. I really enjoy the work and especially enjoy meeting new people and helping to create beauty at their homes.
Note - though I don’t charge for my travel time, I do have a 2 hour minimum on all landscaping service bookings.
