Who you're hiring

Run by a first responder.
It shows up in the work.

Jesse is a firefighter and an EMT. He's also been doing residential and commercial landscaping since he was fifteen. Both jobs come down to the same habit: be where you said you'd be, and do it right the first time.

That's the whole pitch. No missed Tuesdays. No calls that don't get returned.

More about Jesse

Why homeowners around here call us.

You'll actually hear back.

Estimate requests get an answer within one business day — not next week, not after you've called someone else. Responding fast is literally the job Jesse does for a living.

Fifteen years of doing this.

Jesse started in residential and commercial landscaping at fifteen, with construction work on top of it. This isn't a truck and a mower bought last spring.

You're dealing with the owner.

No call center, no rotating crew of subcontractors you've never met. The person who quotes your job is the person standing in your yard doing it.

Real jobs, real yards

Drag the slider. That's the same yard.

How it works

Four steps. No surprises.

  1. 1

    Tell us what you need

    Call, text or send the form. Photos of the problem area help us get you a number faster.

  2. 2

    We walk the property

    A free, in-person look at the job and a real quote — not a range, not a guess over the phone.

  3. 3

    We lock in a date

    You'll know exactly when we're coming before we hang up, and you'll get a reminder before we show.

  4. 4

    We show up and do it

    And we clean up after ourselves. Driveway blown off, clippings gone, gate shut behind us.

Questions we get a lot.

Yes, and there's no obligation attached to them. We come out, walk the property with you, and give you a real number for the work you're asking about. If you want to think about it, think about it.

Most customers go weekly through the growing season, and some go biweekly or as-needed. We set the day when you sign up and we keep it — you'll know which day is your day. Billing is monthly.

We're based in Akron and we're regularly in Newstead, Clarence, Clarence Center, Alden, Lancaster, Depew, Amherst, Williamsville, Lockport, Pendleton, Corfu and Darien. If you're near any of those, ask.

Yes. Jesse's background covers both residential and commercial landscaping, and we take on commercial mowing and grounds maintenance alongside our residential route.

It depends on size, what's underneath it and how much room there is to work — a limb over a driveway is a different job than a tree in an open field. We quote tree work in person, always.

Within one business day on estimate requests. If it's storm damage or something hanging over your house, call instead of filling out the form and we'll move a lot faster than that.
