Tully & Crew at Gibson Lawn Care
We are grateful for helping us spruce up our grounds before Homecoming Sunday! We appreciate the donation of the pine needles and the labor to put them out & prune/trim up our landscaping. It looks great! We also owe another thank you to their crew who jumped in to help our garbage pick-up service load our junk in their truck. If those young men had not volunteered, the professional garbage disposal team would have never been able to finish!
