We found Top-Notch while they were working at our neighbor's. We met with Alex, and a few days later they transformed our yard in one day β mowed, cleaned out the flower beds, trimmed and shaped the beds and trees, mulched, and cleaned up afterwards. The attention to detail was great.
10/10 β if I could recommend a million times I would! I had 3 amazing decks done and a full fence and they are done beautifully. Between the quality and craftsmanship it's done so great! Very communicative and explains everything super well.
If you are looking for fencing and need help with a vision like I did, call on Alex. Not only is he punctual, takes pride in his work, and does what he says he is going to do β he is also personable, respectful, and 100% transparent.
We found Top-Notch on Facebook and needed firewood delivered in a pinch! Not only did they deliver and stack it β it's also great quality and we were surprised by the amount we got for the price. Highly recommended!
Highly recommend, 10/10. Excellent quality of mowing and cleaning up our property, and reasonable rates.
Top-Notch β it's just like it sounds. Nothing but great service: fast, friendly, and great communication. I would recommend them to anyone.
