Our strata uses Busy Bee's landscaping services, and I would definitely not recommend them. Weeding only seems to happen after complaints from owners, although it is part of our contract. Poor horticultural knowledge - plants cut back at the wrong time of year, resulting in next seasons flowers being aborted. All plant material aggressively cut back with hedge trimmer, instead of proper pruning technique. Area's missed when mowing lawn, not line trimming for consecutive weeks.

Our strata uses Busy Bee and horrible service. The people just don't know what is landscaping. I have to call them back many times to do missing works. Don't come on the days of services. Trim lawn instead of mowing all the times. Blow leaves to the garden instead of removing them. Remove leaves on sideways only. Never pruning. Heard they aren't reply to Strata 's complaint.

The best gardening company in the West. Excellent customer service. They landscapes my front garden and it was way beyond expectations! The owner personally fixed a small error quickly at no extra cost. Highly recommend BusyBee Gardening.
