I think it was Jacob who came out and provided me with my estimate. We talked through everything. Unfortunately there was a lot of rain that occurred which forced the work to be postponed. Varsity mulching kept me informed of the new date. On the appointed day Tyler and his team arrived. Everything was completed as specified in the estimate. Tyler and I walked through the front yard to make sure everything was completed to my satisfaction. Iam very pleased with them. My front yard was a complete mess of weeds and they got the beds cleaned up so I could get my new plants in the ground.
Price assessment: Reasonable price

The crew came out to our property this morning to clean up and cut down my perennial beds, which I have not been able to do since hip surgery. They did a beautiful job, pulled the weeds, and cleaned up perfectly afterwards. I will recommend them to anybody for garden clean up.
Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review.
Mature perennial gardens certainly require an extra level of care and precision, and I am incredibly proud of Chase and the crew for rising to the challenge. Hearing that you are absolutely delighted with the weeding, edging, and cleanup is the best feedback we could ask for!
We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to helping you keep your beautiful gardens looking their best in the future. Thanks again for choosing Varsity Mulching!

Very happy with Varsity Mulching! The guys were well mannered, thoughtful, and thorough. The job was completed within 2 weeks of contacting them. I asked them to trim everything back far for a fall clean-up and they did exactly as I asked - and the price was more than reasonable!
