"Leo Diaz is the BEST landscaper I have ever hired and the ONLY ONE who completes a job that exceeds expectations. All at an incredibly low price. I had previously hired a well advertised company here in South Charlotte to prune some invasive bushes. They sent 3 men and charged $350. Then I asked Leo Diaz who did a BETTER job at half the price. I hesitate to post this review for fear of losing Leo to other homeowners. Right now he is the best kept secret in Charlotte. I guarantee you will be more than pleased by his work, his attitude, and his price."
