Not just grass is who we recommend to everyone. They do our yard bi-weekly, they have installed bushes, flowers, and plants in our yard. This year alone they installed our amazing stone front patio and knocked out a small collapsing retaining wall in our back yard (not put in by them) and resodded our whole backyard! They have done several "cleanups" for us and several of our neighbors. They also do our neighbors yard bi-weekly. They have put a large patio in at one of our businesses and maintain several of our business properties throughout the year. Can't really say enough good things about not
