Joe promised, and Joe delivered…read more When my wife and I moved out of Brooklyn and bought our home in East Brunswick, we fell in love with all the landscaping the previous owners meticulously put in. Our property felt like a botanical garden, far exceeding the standard run-of-the-mill landscaping jobs you see in most neighborhoods. What I didn't realize at the time was how completely unprepared I was to maintain this level of landscaping. Even after renewing the previous owners' contract with Broehl's (the local gold standard for lawn care and maintenance) there was still too much to do. Unfortunately, I have a black thumb for this kind of thing, and there's only so many checks I can afford to write to try and keep things looking good. So for the past few years my wife and I have actually invested money in scaling *back* some of the landscaping; essentially ripping out and replacing some of the more complicated beds that have steadily been beat on over the last few brutal winters and didn't look good any more. When we met with Joe, we were clear that we wanted nice-looking beds, but nothing that would be over-the-top difficult to care for and maintain. And we wanted clear sight lines down our front yard so we could see our kids playing in the street. The overall amount of work we need to do to get our property where we really want it is pretty staggering, so Joe discussed a phased plan that would allow us to get started without breaking the bank. Long story short, he and his crew ripped out the mess of bushes and plants and undergrowth that marked the front and center portion of our lawn. He designed a simple, but elegant bed that he said would look great but wouldn't be impossible to maintain. He took photos of our property in advance, and then simulated his recommended design over the photos via computer, allowing us to "see" what it would look like before we'd have to commit. As you can see from the photos, Joe and his crew did a great job. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the work. We get a ton of compliments on the before and after. (Unfortunately I didn't take pictures of the before, but trust me -- this was a huge leap forward.) Truth be told, you're really at a disadvantage if you cannot do at least some of your own landscaping. Professional landscaping is expensive -- plain and simple. And frankly, I hate paying for it. But as I said in my previous review, Joe is a no-nonsense, honest businessman. If, as the saying goes, a man is only as good as his word, Joe is a good man. He and his crew are completely professional and do great work at a very competitive price. Just look at the photos and see the work for yourself. And feel free to message me if you have any questions or want to learn more.

We love working with Alex and the team! We had an issue with pooling of water in our backyard after…read morerain. We reached out to many different landscapers and none of them were willing to take it on. Alex, on the other hand, gave us a quote on the spot and his team was at our house within a week with trucks filled with dirt and top soil to fill in the low spots. We haven't had any issues with pooling since. Since then, ADP Land Design has helped us remove a 50' decaying tree, removed an old tree stump, planted several new trees, built a fence around our 1 acre backyard, and tidied up the landscape on our front lawn. The team is incredibly fast, works diligently, and can usually take care of things within the week. We highly recommend them and will be looking to them for all our landscaping needs!

We hired Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC to install pavers at our home in May. The work has NOT…read morebeen completed as of today July 16th. It was to be a 1 week, 5 day job with a promise to come everyday until the work was completed. That 1st week on the 2nd day Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC did NOT show up. He said he was getting supplies for the project. He has a multi person team so while he was purchasing supplies, his team should have been demolishing the old pavers/deck . No one came that day thus pushing the projects completion avoidably back. Some of the ensuing delays and complications, were due to issues with our homeowners association. Throughout this process, dealing with the HOA, Justin remained professional and did his best to resolve the HOA's demands in our favor. He was unsuccessful. The project is still not completed. Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC had advised us to use permeable pavers, with appropriate spacing & grout between the pavers, to allow the shower to drain. Unfortunately, this "system" he recommended & installed does NOT allow the water to drain. It floods the pavers creating puddles & may take anywhere from 12-24 hours to dissipate! Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC now says we need to install a drain which was never offered as an option. We are far from experts but had we been offered the choice between a system that may be effective, the permeable pavers & one that is a sure thing, a drain, we obviously would have elected the sure thing. We relied on Justin's Wright JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC expertise which as outlined proved not to function. Upon reporting this dilemna to Justin Wright /JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC he recommended he install a drain, but of course now wishes to add on another charge! The second problem we are experiencing as a result of Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC "subpar" ( the words of our HOA) work is a street repair, which proved necessary after the pavers were laid . Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC elected to use a cold patch, not asphalt as previously was in place. After the cold patch was installed, the HOA & I inspected the cold patch repair. The HOA deemed the work subpar, contacted an outside contractor to repair the cold patch with asphalt & expected us to pay for the repair. Fortunately, we were able to get a reprieve from the HOA with Justin Wright /JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC promising to repair the cold patch. The cold patch was repaired on approximately June 16th but has still not cured. When I informed Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC on July 6th that the cold patch still had not cured , was fragile & soft , he texted me "impossible". I am concerned that the HOA will still find the work subpar, putting me at risk for a reprimand, fine &/or another costly expense to fix the street where the cold patch has not performed as required. Subsequently, I requested a meeting at our property to demonstrate the failings of the shower & cold patch. I had previously asked that he come by the property anytime, even if we're not there, to assess the situation . This did NOT occur. I texted him this past Friday July 11, with no response. I again texted him on July 13. He now states that the cold patch needs time to cure. This after telling us, as mentioned above, it was "impossible" that the cold patch hadn't cured. On Sunday July 13th, he recommended we talk tomorow. He NEVER called. I texted him that evening reminding him that he neglected to call. At 11:58 pm he texted "call tomorrow". I NEVER heard back from him & waited until Wednesday evening when I again reminded him that he did not call as he stated he would do. He again did NOT call despite asking what his plan was. This morning I provided a brief synopsis of this review to Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC. He answered within 1 minute!!!! He said he would call & we should be available at 10 am. I have been waiting for the call as requested & it is now 2:05pm & he has NOT called. Accordingly I will have to wash my hands of Justin Wright /JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC & chalk up my experience to a dishonest, unreliable contractor who tells you what he thinks you want to hear. At this point we are left with a shower that doesn't drain, a large area cold patch (one foot by twenty feet -1' by 20' ) that is soft, fragile & uncured as well as an HOA that is unhappy (potentially causing us additional hardships). To resolve these issues it wil require additional funds. We are now at the point wher we will have to consider legal remedies. This review is intended to help future customers in choosing a paving contractor. We wish we had read a review such as ours, so that we could have avoided all of these frustrations & costs. At least you will be able to avoid these pitfalls by NOT choosing Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC to work on your property. Videos/photos of the flooding shower & still soft cold patch will be posted on Youtube & are also available upon requst.

I told Ken what I wanted and he said he could turn our property into the envy of the neighborhood. I was skeptical at first. I needed flowers and shrubs. The side and rear of the house were just ugly dirt and gravel. I wanted a side patio of pavers and rear walkway to cover up the dirt and gravel on the sides of the house. A walkway from the rear walkway to the rear deck. There was a shed with a cement walkway that had to be removed. This was no small task. They tore down the shed and cement walkway and cleared out and leveled out the rear yard. They had to remove over 20 yards of dirt and rocks. They had to move a small tree from the middle of the yard to the corner. They planted new flowers and shrubs with existing ones put down new sod . Then install all the hardscape. It was quite a task. When it finally was finished I couldn't believe it was the same property. Now when buyers come to see the house the first thing they look at is the beautiful new yard.
