I was overwhelmed by how much work my lawn and landscaping needed. There were weeds everywhere, a bush growing out of control, leaves that wouldnt take themselves, and grass that needed cutting. I reached out to Adam at Dirty Deeds in desperation and he was quick to respond. Despite them being extremely busy he fit me in within a few days. I was extremely satisfied with the work they did and will be using Dirty Deeds for future needs.

Adam planted a birch tree in our front yard. The communication was great and Adam gets back promptly when you ask questions. They came with the perfect tree . It was not the easiest planting job and they did an excellent job and cleanup. I will use them again for any landscaping issues.

Very friendly, knowledgeable and honest. Did a great job of installing aluminum trim and stone. Removed spoils and installed mulch. Fixed an issue with the vendor of the stone and saved me money. Fair price for work performed. Will definitely be using again.
