   "value": "First Step reads as a family landscaping operation whose real signal is retention — the reviews are thick with homeowners counting their relationship in decades, not seasons, which is the strongest quiet vote a service business can earn. The work spans maintenance, seeding, tree removal and larger habitat plantings, but the through-line is conscientiousness: people describe an owner who walks each project himself and a family that runs a tight office. Decades-long clients don't stay for the lowest bid; they stay for steady, correct work — which is the entire shape of this record.",
