A 2024 Thumbtack customer said Derrex and his team cleaned up a massive amount of leaves and branches in their backyard, with ideas for the yard followed up by detailed measurements and assessments; that customer called the pricing reasonable. A 2022 customer said he had handled their landscaping and snow removal since they bought their home 5 years earlier, and had repaired their deck after a storm. A 2021 customer said Derrex came to do the job on the same day.
