Big thanks to Cornelius, who walked into a jungle and left a stately lawn behind. We just moved in and the yard was severely neglected, but after our first mow he has it looking like the cover of a magazine! We really appreciate the care he took, and look forward to continuing our service through Lawnstarter.
