I had an outstanding experience with JB Lawn Works. They are incredibly professional, responsive, and completed my project ahead of schedule. Jonathan was always accessible on-site and by phone to answer questions, and his design connections made choosing plants and rocks a breeze.

The estimate process was very unclear. I explained exactly what was needed, as I had with other prospects, and it was jumbled. Communication was also awful. Delayed replies, no updates when things changed, and the job was only partially done.

Jb landscaping and construction/ JB lawn Works's reply
Dear Lauren,
I appreciate your feedback. I am sorry to hear you felt the estimate was unclear and jumbled. Regarding the delayed response, as you can understand, this is our peak season and we are currently very busy.
However, I am confused as to why you chose to hire us for your project if you felt this way during the estimation process and only rated us 2 stars.
The estimate provided and approved clearly states:
- Item line 1: Landscape - Minor Grading or Resloping – $2,500.00 per job
- Item line 2: Sod - Install – $0.95 per sq. ft. (1,700 sq. ft.) – $1,615.00
My crew was on-site completing the work. The project was only partially done due to a change order, as you and your husband decided to install the sod yourselves. My crew successfully completed the grading and resloping, and you paid the $2,500.00 as agreed upon and stated in the provided estimate.
Sincerely,
Jonathan B.

JB Lawn set a time to come over quickly to assess the problem and give me a bid. They inspected carefully and found the problem and gave me a fair bid price. The very next day they returned and fixed the problem very quickly. No fuss, no muss.

Had finally decided who I wanted to call based on reviews. I called Jonathan at 10 AM and he was there within an hour and a half only because of another job. Took care of everything I asked for and it looks amazing! I will be using him for the rest of the year!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
**Pricing on Thumbtack is an estimate based on the details of your request, I would need to do an on-site estimate with you to confirm pricing.** We provide estimates for free but we need to get you on a schedule to come out and speak with you. Give us a call or let us know when you'd like us to call you.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
**Landscaping**
Adding just the right combination of soft features in your yard can create a sweet escape right out your back door. We do it all. From new sod to accent ground covers, JB Lawn Works has the know-how. Ask us about water features to put that perfect cap on a well-crafted yard.
**Hardscaping**
Hardscaping is the latest rage out there in the landscaping world and JB Lawn Works knows hardscaping. Using stone instead of plants, flowers or grass to create a retreat in your yard. Fire pit areas with stone seating or retaining walls are just a couple of tasks we perform. Talk with JB and learn more about what can be done with stone.
**Yard and Lawn Services Made Easy**
Whether you need us for a few weeks to get your yard started up for the season or you're looking for a weekly lawn service, we are the right guys for the job. We can help with mowing, fall leaf clean-up, yard debris, branch clean-up after storms and we can even remove a fragile-looking tree.
We get the job done on time and to your satisfaction every time. This includes things like winter weather work. Let us get that snow moved out of your way. We are your year-round full service yard company.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
We Didn't Start Overnight - This Business Took Me A While
I decided to make a bold move and change in my life for my health, happiness for myself, my family, and to be able to serve others. Growing up with my father in the trucking industry, I followed his footsteps and became a CDL driver for 18 yrs. working in various fields of construction. I enjoyed it for many years.
After many years pushing through, working hard, and trying to get somewhere with several different companies and never getting a sure opportunity for something more; I decided to start something I love doing. That something, was working outdoors. Using my background in construction, I felt totally ready to start JB Lawn Works.
I have built a lot of great relationships with my clients, but most of all great relationships with my employees. What I have cherished and loved most about my company is being a good role model and leader to my peers, and the satisfying look on my client's faces with a job well done.
