Sage is terrific! Professional and easy to deal with. Wonderful follow up too. He came to check out and advise a treatment plan for the trees on our newly purchased property. One of our trees was really struggling, and Sage’s recommended treatment plan has really helped this tree’s health. It’s looking so much better in a short period of time.

Sage has always been friendly, professional, reasonable, and honest. Not sure you can ask for anything more from someone you’re trusting to work on to your property. We’ve used him for weed control and termite treatment over the years and the service has never wavered. Highly recommend.

Sage G. did an excellent job evaluating my citrus trees. He added the right nutrients, identified an issue with my lemon fruit, and clearly explained how to fix it. He also showed me how to protect the tree trunk from sun damage. My trees are now doing great! Excellent service and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!
Aleksey G. -
This company comes out once a year to spray my weeds and I rarely have one pop up, if I do they come back out and spot treat. Highly recommend

Have used Local Choice for several years now for pest, rodent & termite control, and every time, the technicians are prompt, courteous and thorough. Management always gets back to me if there’s a question.
P. S. -
Local Choice has been spraying for us for over 2yrs now and we love them! Extremely communicative, on time always and happy to help (I even text pictures occasionally to inquire if I should be worried about small bugs I don’t recognize)! They are awesome!
