Paul's Los Gatos Lawn Aerating is a life saver...or lawn saver! Prompt, courteous, customer-friendly service. Great job resuscitating my grass, and just a great all around guy. He's the type of guy you could see yourself having a beer with. My appointment was 9am so we didnt, but otherwise would have! Awesome…
