- Shout out to Rafael Rodriguez and his crew!!
They did a fabulous job landscaping our back yard. He developed several large new garden beds, planted shrubs, and mulched. It was a big job over… (Nextdoor College Square) - He did an excellent job of providing a very nice walk-in shower at a very reasonable price.
Also, he took the time to thoroughly clean up at the end of each work day. Would highly recommend for any total shower replacement! (Nextdoor Sartori Park)
