70 JULY 31-AUGUST 6, 2019 Best of Fayetteville Best House Cleaning Savvy Cleaning Company 2986 Cumberland Rd. 910-271-9807 or www.gosavvyclean.com The sign outside Savvy Cleaning Company gives a simple explanation of its primary mission: "Moving Out? Give Savvy a Shout!" Savvy Cleaning focuses on move-out cleaning. Owners Emilie and Isaac Wil- liamson have been in business for six years now, so they're no strangers to what needs to get done when you want to leave your current property better than you found it. The primary mission of Savvy Clean- ing is to offer an outstanding customer experience while providing its staff with a healthy work and life balance. Savvy Cleaning has streamlined and organized the entire process of getting a vacated business or dwelling in top shape from the start of the job to the end. Even though move-out cleaning is the focus of what Savvy Cleaning does, it offers a variety of other services. Among them are carpet and upholstery repair as well as interior painting. One recent client thanked Savvy for the huge burden that was lifted while in the process of moving. The client praised Savvy's service and profes- sionalism and appreciated both the ease of scheduling the cleanup as well as frequent updates on the progress being made. That client plans to use Savvy's services in the future and heartily recommends them to anyone with a similar need. Best Lawn & Garden/Nursery Bell's Seed Store 230 E. Russell St. 910-483-8400 or www.bellsseedstore.us After 100 years in service, this family-owned local gardening store has not sac- rificed that hometown feel for the service and quality of a large company. Instead, it does both. Customers praise Bell's Seed Store for a "phe- nomenal first time experi- ence" and "great customer service." In fact, one review- er said that her favorite thing about Bell's is the staff. And considering the store's large selection, that's saying something. Most of the plants sold at Bell's are locally grown, and the quality products are perfect for any gardener, whether rookie or professional. As plenty of us have struggled to grow grass in Fayetteville's trademark heat, Bell's provides nearly every grass seed that will successfully grow in the area. The shop sells a plethora of fruit trees and vegetable plants, and one wall is lined with veg- etable seeds for you to grow your own garden. Big Green Egg Grill and Smok- ers are available, too, not to mention erosion control materials, whimsical bird baths, wind chimes and yard decorations. The store is even dog-friendly. Bell's Seed Store doubles as Flags of Fayetteville, where you can purchase U.S. and North Carolina flags and order almost any flag out there. Best Landscaping Company Snow's Landscaping & Lawncare Inc. 1004 Cedar Creek Rd. 910-483-3236 or www.snowslandscapinglawncare.com For 20 years and counting, Frank Snow and his expert staff have taken care of local lawns as if they were their own.

Best Pool/Spa Company Hallmark Spa & Pools 2911 Fort Bragg Rd. 910-485-4581 or www.hallmarkspapools.com Hallmark Spa & Pools has been creating quality swimming pools, spas, hot tubs and more for 51 years, making it the oldest and largest pool and spa company in the Fayetteville area. Owners Raymond and Renate Scholz work with their children and daughter-in-law, along with the rest of the wonder- ful staff, to provide quality, affordable products. One customer calls Hallmark "hands down the best pool store in town," while another gushes, "I give this business 10 stars." Hallmark earns the high- est possible five-star rating on Yelp. Besides building everything from above-ground and in-ground swimming pools (including pool tables) to 50 varieties of spas, Hallmark Spa & Pools donates thousands of dollars every year to several public-school athletic pro- grams. It has also regularly contributed to nonprofit organizations like Make a Wish Foundation and Wounded Warrior Project and has been a member of the Association of the United States Army since 1982. Best Place to Get a Tattoo/Body Piercing Evolution Ink 5924 Cliffdale Rd. 910-323-2243 or www.evolutioninkstudio.com Evolution Ink has won this category for six years in a row, but it's been an award-winning studio for much longer than that.
