I truly appreciated working with JR Landscaping. Juan was very responsible and friendly and didn't do a step without consulting with me. They did quite a lot of cleanup in my backyard. I hadn't been in the backyard in more than six months so things were looking so brown and wild and the prior landscape pebbles needed another layer. Backyard looks completely different and I will go with JR Landscaping on my next project. read more

We hired Juan to do our backyard. It was just all dirt. I found him on Yelp and he was very responsive. He came out and we discussed the layout and picked our turf. He came back a week later. The job was 5 days long and we ended up with an amazing backyard! Pictures were from while it was in progress. read more

During one of the most recent storms, one of our 35' trees split and fell into our yard. I obtained 3 bids and was surprised at the cost disparity between the 3 companies. Juan Ramos, of JR Landscaping, was reasonable in comparison and actually helped us stay within our budget. He and his team were here on time, worked diligently throughout the day and all were very polite and friendly. As with most construction jobs, we ran into a couple of minor "hiccups" but Juan was very good about communicating and working with us to give us what we wanted. We're extremely happy with their work and are having them back to repair our deck. I recommend them highly! DB read more

Our front yard had become overgrown with weeds and the atmospheric river and hail earlier in the year killed a bunch of succulents so we needed some cleanup. The folks from JR Landscaping did a pretty good job! It was $400 and it only took the two of them 45 minutes so while that seems steep, at least my wife and I didn't have to do it so we were grateful to get it done. The thing that pushes this rating from 4 stars (cost & a couple weed roots left that I'll take care of, no biggie) is that Juan was incredibly responsive and super on top of things. Out of all the folks I reached out to, he was the only one to actually show up to give an estimate. If they were running late, they texted or called. He responded to every text in a timely manner. 10 stars for keeping us in the loop and being a great person to work with. read more

Juan and his team were amazing. They did a fantastic job, good quality, fast, great communication, and reasonably priced. We hit a few surprises like with our downspouts and drainage and he helped diagnose the problem and fix it! Juan was so responsive and excellent at communicating. He managed to transform our backyard (nearly 1k sq ft of space) in 4 days and did our front yard and drainage in 1-2days. I would highly highly recommend him to everyone. read more

The need for a tree removal and yard cleanup was long overdue so with the help of Yelp I was able to find JR who is local to my area. A phone consultation was scheduled and the initial plan was removal of some trees and the clean up of a neglected yard. Everything was discussed in terms of length of time for completion, time they would start and end each day and more importantly the cost, which was within reason and negotiable. JR was very respectable of my time and hectic schedule and his communication was constant along with the attention to detail. The initial plan followed with a gutter clean up which I tacked on to get completed and we worked out a deal on after he assessed the space. FINALLY, after all the maintenance and after careful though the decision was made to do a low maintenance landscape for the now cleaned up space (a blank slate!) Once again, JR discussed the details, materials, work, cost and asked what I envisioned. Honestly, all I wanted was a space I can still walk out to and finally enjoy. The timeline for completion of this project took a week. JR and his crew were all courteous, considerate, friendly and promptly on time to work. Communication remained key and when I had concerns JR would immediately respond both by phone call and text. If you read this far, I highly recommend JR landscaping and to reach out to them to see what they can do for you. Thanks JR and crew! read more

Juan and team were amazing. Dependable, great communication, and great service. Highly recommend. Thanks, JR Landscaping! read more

JR Landscaping came in and got my job done ahead of schedule. They carefully removed a tree, bamboo, a retaining wall, and an old shed (All within really tight corridors since I have a pool in the same area). After that, they rebuilt a new retaining wall and had a nice, concrete pad poured. Juan's crew is extremely hard working and very respectful. They maintained great communication throughout the entire project and I'll definitely use them again for any future landscaping projects. read more

Juan with JR Landscaping took my absolute disaster of a yard back to a nice well maintained yard with the most level hedges I've ever seen. His pricing was fair and his crew worked very hard. Juan was upfront with what could be done in my timeframes and I look forward to the next project I tackle with their help! Thanks again. read more

Juan and his team were very professional and easy to work with. From contact to job finished, all done within 2days.

I recently moved to the area and needed to hire a landscaper to initiate and start ongoing maintenance of my property. I contacted JR Landscaping who immediately responded 7/30 stating that a consultation was needed which was fine. The consultation was conducted and I was quoted $140 for start up maintenance because "everything needed to be redone," but more so the trees needed to be "cut down because they would provide entry for squirrels and rodents into the house." JR stated to me that he would cut down the trees and do the yard restoration for $700.00. I hesitated and told him to start on the yard first and we would discuss the situation of the trees at a later date. JR responded saying he would do a "light trim" of the palm in my backyard (there was one dead leaf hanging" and the grass and bushes. We shook hands and agreed for the work to be done the next morning. I leaving for work, left $140.00 under a yard decoration and took a picture and sent it to JR. About an hour after his scheduled arrival I received a call from him stating that "there wasn't enough money left for the services, only $140." I responded by telling him that's what we agreed and he stated that he had a four man crew there and that they had completely pruned all the trees on the property and that I owed him a total of $700.00. Very upset I begrudgingly paid the entire invoice as I was in fear of him leaving the tree debris in the yard and the possibility of me needing to hire more people to remove the branches. I asked JR to immediately email me a receipt the same day in which he stated he would "do when he got home." He also stated that going forward my fee would be $140 for yard services 2x a month (forgetting he texted me $120.00). This was Wednesday August 2- no receipt was emailed. That Thursday August 3, I texted him again asking for my itemized receipt- no response. Friday the 4th, I called him three times and left him text messages. My boyfriend called in which he finally responded stating that he would "get it to me this weekend." It is now August 9th a week later with no documents or response. These documents are needed for my reimbursement from the realtor whom claimed the yard was cleaned prior to me occupying the house. My advice is to get everything in writing and to be present when all work is conducted! I feel totally taken advantage of especially during the moving process which is stressful enough. This was a predatory situation and I definitely trusted the wrong company. Again as stated the initial quote was for the yard maintenance only, then $700 with the trees included which was not agreed upon. I waited a week to receive a simple receipt/invoice in which I had to constantly reach out to receive. In a professional setting a message or call stating that an email was sent is sufficient which also did not occur. The issue is not the quality of the work, it is the total lack of communication, follow through and communication. read more

If you are considering to hire a landscaper this is the one. Juan responded to my inquiry about installing artificial turf in my backyard. Within a few days him and his team arrived and worked on my yard and we are very pleased with the work. read more

We had a larger project, and this was Phase 1. Truly wonderful working with Juan and his team! We vetted four landscaping companies before selecting JR Landscaping. Communication was wonderful, they had a clear understanding of our goals, and then delivered at a fair price. We had a broken irrigation system, had to lay new lines, had clean-up work to prep for further landscaping installation, and sod to lay. An unexpected item came up (beneath the surface of anything visible, the retaining wall concrete foot expanded well into the area we wanted to place sod) Juan gave me great options, made only a minor change to price, and it didn't extend the project at all. All of this was done in a total of 10-11 hours. Additionally, there was a small apple tree we decided to get rid of and Juan just made it happen. Lastly, there were some issues on specific spots in the lawn where previously laid sod (by me) didn't take properly. Juan and team made it happen within the quoted time/price. Freaking great. If you're looking at a project too big for you and want a good team of kind people who know what they're doing, definitely have JR over for a consult - the kicked butt for us on Phase 1 and we'll definitely hire them for Phase 2! read more

Juan and team have been amazing! We've hired them for two projects now and will look to work with them again on future landscaping projects. In both cases his team worked fast, communicated transparently when there were changes, and ultimately did a great job. His prices were competitive and his team finished on time. Overall I highly recommend JR Landscaping. read more

Juan and his team did great work and scheduling was easy. Would highly recommend. Fair pricing too.

I want to thank Juan and his team for an excellent job! We had an overgrown mess in our big backyard, and couldn't be happier now. The communication was great, and I appreciated the quick response and time updates about the job. We had gotten a few quotes from other companies, but theirs was the fairest and the best value for a high-quality job. They were quick and efficient, too! I've already reached out about another job that we want them to do on our property next! read more

When I finally decided to move forward with the first stage of my backyard project, I put out a request for multiple bids on an area for cement. Juan was extremely responsive and got back to me for an in person estimate the next day. After meeting with Juan, I decided to continue with the project, and I'm glad that I did. Juan answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood the procedure from beginning to end (I tend to ask a lot of questions) and I appreciated how Juan has been throughout the entire process. Not only was Juan great to work with, but his crew is awesome too. I was impressed how clean they kept the streets after leaving with all my yard waste and dirt they extracted from my yard. Similar reviews talk about his responsiveness, and I found this accurate. But I really appreciated that he was extremely fair, understanding, easy to work with. He even offered flexibility in payments for new things I wanted to tackle that was not originally planned for, in case I wanted to get it done. Thanks Jaun and crew for doing such a great job! read more

Juan and his team did an amazing job on my backyard. The highlight for me was that he stayed communicative through the whole process, updating me on any cost changes, letting me know exactly when he and his team would be arriving, keeping me up-to-date on progress, and asking for my feedback in a consistent way. He and his team put in concrete, laid tile, and put down artificial turf. The pricing was right in line with other quotes I received, but Juan consistently had the best follow up and was willing to answer any questions I had. As a real estate agent, I will definitely be recommending him to my clients. Thank you, Juan!! read more

I'm disappointed that I have to change my review. Juan was extremely helpful when it came to the cleanup and then fixing my sprinklers and adding a timer, and we set up monthly maintenance of my yards. Both jobs totaled $1000 together. Then the storms hit which is understandable that there would be no maintenance service through the storms. I contacted him one time because the yard after all the cleanup was starting to look bad and of course it was still storming off and on with minimal clear days. Juan never replied, so I messaged him again, a little bit angry or this time because I got no response. The response I finally received from him was once it stopped storming He would be in contact and come and start my monthly maintenance. I was frustrated only because after paying out money to have it all cleaned up, it was getting worse than it was the first time. But it was going to have to be done. That conversation was months ago. It started to clear up, and I let one week go by. I thought OK he's got a lot of customers no problem. Then another week, then another week, then a month, two months, three months, so here I sit four months later and have not heard a word from Juan. He has not come by nor has he even tried to contact me. Which now left me having to go through the process once again of finding another landscaper and start all over. I expected better from Juan from the conversations we had when he was here. I was clear from the start that I like my yards clean cut. My other house I had them come every week and the in between week all they had to do was just mow the lawn. Maybe I pissed him off because I said my yard was looking like s&$@ again. But they were. I had already spent $1000 and was not looking forward to spending any more. Sorry, Juan I wish you would've had common courtesy and at the least text me and tell me you weren't coming back. I would have respected you more for that. read more

Juan and his crew did an amazing job on the front yard of our rental property. Juan was very responsive, often answering my texts within minutes. He had great suggestions on the landscape design and what rock would fit our budget. He expertly trimmed our tree along with installing a drip system and laying down the rock faster than we expected. I recommend you hire JD Landscaping for your next landscaping project. read more

Juan was a great landscaper to work with. I own a rental property in Vallejo that needed a french drain installed in the backyard. He assessed the situation, made recommendations, then completed the job successfully. Juan called me every day for updates, text me photos, and even cleaned the gutters and capped a leaking sprinkler at the end for no additional cost. This man and his crew went above and beyond the service. He's friendly, easy to talk to, and doesn't nickel and dime you. JR Landscaping is my go-to landscaper for future projects/work. Thank you for your honesty and professional work Juan. read more

I hired JR Landscaping to redo my front yard. I have two large oak trees that produce a lot of leaves and acorns in the fall/winter and needed something that would work long-term with easy maintenance. Juan came out right away and proposed a nice solution with combination of different color river-type rocks with succulents. He worked with me on details of the project and was very helpful in selection of plants and when I changed my mind a few times on how I wanted things done. The crew showed up on time and worked well, leaving the area clean. I can't be happier that I found JR Landscaping and used them for this project. The results are great and speak for themselves. A few before and after photos below. Thanks Juan! read more

Very responsive. Fast, thorough work at a reasonable price. I'm very satisfied and would use his services again.

We own a townhouse in Benicia. We have a small yard - 300 square feet. We put out bids to four landscapers. Juan came in with a reasonable price and a warm personality. Juan transformed our yard. He installed pavers on the ground; he installed drains; he installed irrigation; he replaced the top of our deck. He told us in the beginning that the deck may need to be replaced. It did NOT and I appreciate his honesty. He planted new plants. He had a great, friendly crew. He rolled with the punches when we needed to have additional work not originally requested on the invoice. He stayed in contact with us throughout the whole process - no surprises EVER. Am I satisfied with the work?- YES. Would I recommend him to others? - YES. Would I use him again? - YES. Thank you, Juan for a job very well done. read more
