I've been cutting grass since I was ten years old. I enjoyed it so much that I went around my neighborhood and asked everyone if I could cut their grass. Until I was spotted by the owner of a landscaping company, who offered me a job and taught me everything he knew. I also do construction work as well.

I have an entrepreneurial spirit and decided to stop working for others and figure it out through experience.

I appreciated Lee’s attention to detail and integrity. He did an amazing job tackling an overgrow flowerbed, cutting the grass, edging the lawn, and cleaning up the debris. He did not take shortcuts but did the work in a thorough manner as if it were his own yard. I went from being self-conscious about the state of my lawn to proud after he whipped it into shape. Thank you for doing a fantastic job, Lee. I appreciate you!
