Weeding is such an inadequate term for what Mark and his team did for us. Due to some family issues, we fell tremendously behind in the weeding out by the street. We have a very large area under two trees with some ground cover, ferns, hostas and the like. It was nit-picky work and there was milkweed, sumac trees, thistles, and clover etc. There were three workers and they spent all afternoon on the job. It It looks so much better!
Mark was responsive to my calls, calling me back the same day. He came out and gave me an estimate for the weeding (which was $250) and we scheduled a day for him to come. They showed up the day he said they would. Before the scheduled day, I had called him up to ask him to remove two broken tree limbs. This added on $50, which I had no problem with at all. They worked very hard. I've weeded it before myself so I know just what went into it.
I plan on having Mark do some other outdoor work for me too.

Mark has been mowing my lawn weekly since the end of April. He mows/trims/cleans up every Friday (or Saturday). He provides very reliable service.

They have done a fine job. They were engaged by my father and I haven't received the bill from them yet. They are very nice people and know what they are doing. They are not just unemployed people who decided to go into the landscape business. The guy that runs the place and does most of the work has experience and training in landscaping and so he knows what it is that he is doing. The landscape around the house had not been professionally maintained for several years. I asked him to just get in there and clean it up and get things back to the state where you want your healthy plants to be. He knew what to do and he just got in and did it.

Their work with our lawn and landscaping has been stellar. They replaced old landscaping in both the front and back of our house. They even maintain the landscaping for weeds every time they mow the lawn. I don't have to do anything with the lawn or landscaping as they take care of everything. The owner does most of the work himself and he is extremely courteous. I would highly recommend them!

The day Mark came to put up lights he ran into some adverse winter weather conditions while on the way to my home but pressed his way across town because I had previously told him how bad my wife wanted the Christmas lights up by a certain date. He put up part of the lights but the continuing snowfall prevented him from finishing the job that day and he had to come back a few days later when the temperatures were higher and the snow on the roof had melted to finish the job. He also came back in the spring and took the lights down.

Mark has taken care of my yard for me over several years. He does an excellent job with both mowing and mulching leaves. He also has trimmed my tree, cleared away tree limbs, and cleaned my gutters of leaves. And the price is very reasonable.

MARK DAVIS DOES GOOD WORK AND THE PRICE IS REASONABLE, GIVEN THAT IT TAKES SOMEWHAT MORE THAN 2 HOURS TO MOW AND TRIM THIS AREA PROPERLY.

ESTIMATE $60. CALLED LANDSCAPER AND FOUND THAT HE WAS NOT PROFESSIONAL. I DID SOME BACK-UP CALLING AND FOUND ANOTHER LANDSCAPER SO I CALLED HIM BACK AND SAID I WOULDNT NEED HIS SERVICE. HE CALLED ME AND SAID HE COULDNT FIND MY HOUSE. HE WAS COMING OUT TO MY HOUSE, SO HE MUST HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE MESSAGE THAT I DIDNT NEED HIS SERVICE. HE FORGOT MY NAME AND DIDNT GET ALL THE INFORMATION ON MY ADDRESS.
