In a 2022 review, a customer said they hired the business to clean up a large overgrown area in a wooded section of their back yard to create a view of the marsh, and that the job came in on time and on budget. A 2022 customer wrote that, in addition to gardening and landscaping, the business did many other tasks requested on the spur of the moment; that customer said she carefully removed runners by hand. A 2022 customer described the work as thorough and very reasonably priced. **Strengths:** - Overgrowth cleanup — a 2022 customer said a wooded area was cleared on budget - Hand weeding — a 2022 customer said runners were removed by hand ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Says on its website that it hand weeds flower beds, gardens and overgrown or neglected areas, removing roots, rhizomes and bulbs _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](http://thebutterflyandthebee.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): We have created a niche for ourselves in the ever expanding field of landscaping.
