Hired on Thumbtack

I had some yard cleanup that I needed done as well as some growth in the cracks of my driveway. Trent came and quickly helped me get things back into shape. He was friendly and professional and a really great value.

So happy with the service! I needed a yard cleaned up to sell it. He responded quickly and got the work done the next day! Very reasonably repriced and the yard looks beautiful!!

I employed Trent for over seven years. He is by far the best landscaper who has ever cared for my garden. His knowledge of plants and their specific needs, his attention to detail--these restored my garden and made it flourish. He is prompt, professional, and courteous. If I could give more than five stars, I would.

Starving Teachers did incredible work. Trent was extremely professional and punctual and communicated clearly and we were very impressed with his work. You can tell that he has a passion for what he does and he worked wonders in our yard. Will definitely be hiring him again in the future. He is the real deal.
