$300 to for spring clean up. We walked around my yard to talk about expectations. I wanted the leaves blown into my side woods and sticks picked up that have come from storms. Price was initially $350 but we negotiated to $300 without bagging anything...
Horrible experience with Defeo materials. The owner was incredibly rude; Very unreliable to work with and almost impossible to get a hold of.
