Ashton came to us at a new property with a huge meadow that was completely overrun with all sorts of things. He has done an amazing job taming it and maintaining it. He has also been really helpful with some other projects around the property. We are so glad we found him! We hope to get him involved in some landscaping and some other projects in the next few years.
