Bert's Gardening is 5 Star Quality! So knowledgeable in landscaping, maintenance, irrigation, troubleshooting. It is old school customer service where he is detailed oriented, straight advice, with a genuine strong character. He did drip irrigation, sprinkler adjustment/replacement, timer set up, tree removal, and landscape planting for me. They don't make conscientious, hard workers like Bert anymore. What a find!
