If we could give Richard 10 stars we would. We had backyard lights installed and he was so helpful , informative and so professional. He answered so many questions and listen to our concerns and the lighting turned out stunning. Worth every penny we spent on the project. Thank you and highly recommend Driftwood!

When we moved to a new house this month, I immediately had Richard come over for an assessment and restarted a new "total comprehensive" plan to rehab an older yard that needs his touch. He has my strongest recommendation.

Sarah M.

We can definitely tell a difference in the amount of mosquitoes and bugs that we have on our property since starting the treatments. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He goes above and beyond, especially when it comes to explaining processes and the reason why he's doing things.
