We used their services for a Backyard clean up and mow. They were on time and did a fantastic job on a very overgrown backyard. We are very happy with the results!

J. A. Alvarez Landscaping came to my home today to remove growing weeds, clean out a flowerbed, and remove two crepe myrtle bushes. They also trimmed another two crepe myrtles and they look fantastic. My yard looks so much better and I was amazed by how quickly they worked. I would unconditionally recommend this…

Cut tree limbs away from my and my neighbor's house. Cleaned up behind themselves very nicely. Communicated with my neighbor about accessing their yard. They made sure nothing was damaged. Gave me a reasonable price based on other estimates.
