Customer Feedback:
The Steam Team
“We just used Jim to get pen marks out of our brand new, yellow velvet sofa. We were terrified that he might make the situation worse. Instead you can’t tell there was anything there. He also got two filthy white rugs looking like new. All this for a very reasonable price.”

Customer Feedback:
Traverso Trees
“They’ve done work for my whole family! We’ve been using them for years, and they do wonderful work. We’ve gotten estimates from other tree services, but Traverso has been the best. They just did some eucalyptus trees for us, and recently cut some 100 foot tall trees for my mother! They are our family tree service!”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
Birkmyer Landscapes
“We had a straight concrete walkway from our front door to the road, and we wanted that softened up a bit, so he and my husband bought a bunch of Mariposa blue slate together at the nursery. We were very active in selecting the plants as well as the design. It ended up a Mediterranean landscape, which is relatively low maintenance, with a drought resistant sprinkler system. We didn’t want grass, becuase we didn’t want to maintain it, but we wanted lots of color out front. Our whole concept has been achieved. It is kind of fun to walk out there and go ‘Wow, this is kind of a neat garden.’ And the cat likes it too. It is really, really nice.”
