Juan did an amazing job on my yard after I let it get way out of control! He was super quick to get me an estimate and was able to get the work done within a few days.

J. A. Alvarez Landscaping came to my home today to remove growing weeds, clean out a flowerbed, and remove two crepe myrtle bushes.

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.
