A friend of mine, who owns a 60-acre property in southern VA, had a heart attack in August which left him unable to mow and trim his grass. This property needed to be kept in tip-top shape as the public frequently visits the farm to see the domestic and exotic animals. I attempted to hire a landscaping company to mow the grass and trim for the rest of the season. Trying to find someone in late summer is darn near impossible; however, I was fortunate to find Chris Vazquez of YM Landscaping out of Winston-Salem, NC. Chris personally visited the property, met with the owner and promised that his crew would do a great job. He was true to his word. The crew was professional, neatly dressed, courteous, and obviously knew what they were doing. After each visit that they made to the farm, the place looked amazing. The trimming was done exceptionally well, especially considering that there were many outbuildings, fences, etc. I am a landscape designer and horticulturist, and have worked in a nursery, for a landscaper, and have had my own design business. Most landscapers are cowboys on tractors (no disrespect meant to cowboys) and really don't know how to "finesse" a landscaping job. They are in a hurry to get to the next client and don't take the time to do a job correctly and thoroughly. YM Landscaping is an exception to the rule; I was extremely impressed with the work they did. If you are looking for a landscaping company that knows what they're doing and who will take care of your property the way you would take care of it yourself, I wholeheartedly endorse Chris Vazquez and YM Landscaping. Thank you, Chris and crew, for all your hard work! read more
