Operating various equipment to vacuum, remove gum, and clean sidewalks for pedestrian use and enjoy. The business improvement districts need to have clean streets to bring business into the area. Our Pressure Washers clean and sanitize the filth and grime from the streets, making it a more enjoyable place to live, work and play.
Flower watering and other landscape enhancing activities such as weeding and spraying off containers where flowers are planted and cans where garbage is stored.
