Cade was incredible. He was wonderfully communicative, polite, and professional. He arrived on time and did a 10/10 job moving and spreading the bark chip. Cade’s attention to detail was fantastic, the garden has never looked better, and he cleaned up the driveway where the chip was delivered. Cade is a lovely young man. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and we’ll definitely be using him again - I can’t recommend him enough.
