The garden beds around our house were overrun with weeds. We hired Herrera to dig up the weeds, place weed barrier fabric down, edge, and add mulch. They did a great job. It’s been a month and the beds are weed free and look great.

I hired Mike to do some weeding and moving some stones in my very sloped flower garden. I could not do this work due to hip surgery. I am very pleased with the results, and will have him back during the season to continue to maintain this area. Thank you Mike!
