AJD Landscaping

I was very impressed with Derek and his team. We had a huge pine tree die in our front yard that was the centerpiece for our yard. We needed to fill that space and make sure it tied into our existing landscaping. We got 3 bids and theirs was the most competitive. When they started the work they were done in less than 2 days. It was a beautiful job.
