Great experience working with this team! They cleaned up my yard exactly as I requested. Pulled all weeds, set mulch in multiple garden beds, gave advice on how to upkeep and additional services they can provide if needed. Very happy and hope to work with them again!

Mike was very professional and communicated with me when he was running a little late however, when he got here, he surveyed the job took a couple pictures and told me that he was going to get back to me the next day with the quote and I never heard anything back from him. So I’m not sure if the Job was too small or too tedious but the fact that I did didn’t hear anything back was a little disappointing.

Mike and Kevin did EXCELLENT work. My husband and I can no longer keep up the garden beds, and they were in dire need of care. It's hard to find someone who is willing to come to a residence and perform this small project. Mike was extremely responsive to my outreach and was very professional in our interactions online.
Mike and Kevin showed up on time and ready to work. We then walked the areas with them and explained what we needed done. They answered our questions and were upfront with the one or two items they weren't able to take care of. They started the work promptly and finished in a timely manner.
My husband and I walked the area afterwards and were amazed at how wonderful the "after" picture was, considering the "before". We are planning on having them come back this fall to ready our garden beds for the winter. I highly recommend using them.
Details: Residential • Small (less than 1,000 sq ft) • 3-4 weeks ago • No, I prefer no herbicides to be used • No, I don't need to be there • Once a month
