Testimonials

“I was surprised at how neat and clean you folks left the site.
The next thing I saw was the 3 inch tree round left behind and immediately recognized it as a old Native American tradition of thanking Mother Earth for the gift she provided. One very seldom sees that respect today. Thank you!”
