I will recommend this business to anyone I know. We used their service for 6 whole years and always was 100% satisfied with everything. I loved how it’s so easy to work with Trevor and his team because he would always listen and try his best to go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care off. Our lawn…

David and his team were a pleasure to work with. I had a lot of leftover autumn/winter clutter that I was unable to manage on my own due to lack of equipment. I called David and his team to come out and assess the bulk of the front and backyard (about 0.62 acres total) to help me clear up the leaves and clutter.…

Heck of a team that came out to mow, mulch, and take care of a large fallen tree. Redid the front flower bed with all new plants and trimmed bushes, making my property worthy ready to go on the market looking great. Nothing but punctual and professional! Would recommend 10/10 for anyones needs!

Trevor worked with my schedule and came out to the house the night before the work was going to start to mark where we wanted the trees planted. He worked with my schedule and made everything easy. The price of the job he did was well beyond reasonable and quality of the work is incredible, he will be my only call…

Trevor’s crew did my moms landscaping last year which was full of very mature landscaping and did a fantastic job. This year, we needed the normal maintenance (trimming, weeding, mulching) and again they didn’t disappoint. It was a quick turnaround and we were very pleased.

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.

Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.
