J&R landscaping was a pleasure to work with. They kept me appraised of every step in the process and had great attention to detail. My construction manager Hector had high standards and made sure every aspect of the work was perfect. I had a fence installed and brick work done as well as yard clean up. They were reasonably priced and knew their business. I would absolutely use them again.

(Tried to post before; think I messed up, this is my 2nd try.)

Woulda picked all the above if I could. Elmer & crew are GREAT! First we called for a demo job (they removed an old wall in a day), then a new fence, next, pavers on the patio; probably a new roof and stucco-ing the house in the very near future. Prices are exceptional, and Elmer is SO top of things; responsive, kind, easy to talk to. Just can't say enough about this good man and his crew. EXCELLENT WORK, PRICES, VALUE!

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!
