I needed some weeding and mulching done, and I found this company through Angi. They came out to give me an estimate on the project, and it was very easy to schedule them. The prices are very reasonable and they did a great job. I would definitely use them again for more landscaping work.

Since we just hired J&G and he has only been here one time, it's hard to rate them. They were on time, did a good job on the weeds with weed wacker. We requested they use a push mower because there are many exposed tree roots and they did a good job on the grass. We look forward to seeing them...

How often will you apply herbicides?
Do you include any spot treatments or manual weed removal in your pricing?
Do you offer pet-safe and kid-safe herbicides?
What other lawn services can you provide?
Do you offer any kind of guarantee for the work performed?
Are you properly licensed and fully insured?
Do you have any customer references I could speak with?
