Elmer and his crew did a fantastic job on my retaining wall & plant border, also removing a good size fern & pigme palm. Will definitely use J&R again!

J&R landscaping showed up promptly on schedule to cut down a dead palm tree. They also agreed to trim two additional palm trees on the spot for a reasonable fee. They used safety precautions and minded the surrounding landscaping. After the tree work was done, they did a thorough clean up of the area, including the duff that blew onto the roof. Fantastic work!
