"Why are you not cutting the grass around the bushes next to my front door? It was always done by my other cutters, it makes my home look very unsightly. They also always edged the grass growing in the side walk."

Hello, I'm Kyle. I have been working in the San Francisco area since I can remember. I worked with my father in his company in San Francisco doing landscaping later. I got into pest control and I integrated pest control with landscaping. If your lawn ain't neat, the critters will creep.
