Impressive response time and great service despite gps making it difficult to find my home.
Mr Wideman showed up when he said he would and did a wonderful job with my lawn. i will definitely be scheduling another appointment with him. The online service is easy to use. Thank you.
The person they sent out was very helpful, respectful, and professional. We will definitely be using this service on a routine basis.
Just needed a one-time mow and Fresh Cuts came out very quickly. Super friendly and did a great job! Will be getting on a weekly schedule soon as you can’t beat the price and ease.
