 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Andrew was friendly, punctual and did a fantastic job cleaning up our very overgrown front yard. He got everything under control and put down a really thick layer of mulch, which has made such a difference. The whole process was completely painless, and Andrew was also really generous with his advice and suggestions. Would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a garden cleanup — great service and a great result!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Andrew from Backyard Cleanup. Andrew came out quickly and was able to provide a quote the same day. What impressed me most was how knowledgeable he was – he took the time to explain the different types of vines on my property (English, Boston, morning glory and Ficus) and made sure I understood exactly what he was planning to do before starting any work. The results have been amazing. He removed the morning glory that had been growing over from my neighbour’s property and taking over our backyard (in spite of my attempts to keep it at bay), and we’ve now got so much more natural light. He also removed the English ivy that was growing around my garage and blocking the gutters, which had been causing water to leak into the garage roof. Andrew was professional, easy to deal with, and clearly takes pride in his work. I’m really happy with the outcome and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Backyard Cleanup to anyone needing vines or overgrown vegetation removed. I’ll definitely be recommending him to my neighbours as well…

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really helpful! Andrew did a great job talking us through the options of what he could do and how he would do it. He took the time to make sure his truck was parked in a suitable spot to not inconvenience our neighbours too much. Our front yard looks unrecognisable after he finished! Also tidied up thoroughly afterwards so our yard is ready for the next landscaping stage. Would definitely use his services again and recommend him to family and friends.

Easy to work with and communication was on point. I highly recommend Andrew for any cleanup jobs that need to be done properly and efficiently.
