Found J&R on facebook and super glad I did! Its been hard trying to shop for privacy trees because you never really know what you will end up getting until day of install. I’ve seen advertisement for 5-6 ft or 6-7 ft and the quality/fullness of the trees seem to varies on the landscapers. This season was also apparently tough on inventory and some… of the landscapers I spoke with had trouble getting the trees at the right height we wanted. (I know construction supplies are low too, we’ve been looking into other home reno projects)
Jack was very responsive from the beginning

FANTASTIC! If you are looking for a personally tailored landscape design, J&R is the company for you. Their attention to detail is second to none. They take the time to walk you through a design and take into… account your input every step of the way. As a return customer, I can say with confidence these guys deliver world class service with a mom and pops touch. If you’re going to do something right, do it right the first time, and the first step should be the phone call to J&R.

The guys at j&r have been amazing. This is our second season with them. They recently just reconfigured our front yard. Added sod, and took the plantings from our front yard and moved them to the back. And planted new in front giving it a clean, simple look. Cant recommended them enough!

My husband and I bought our home in 2020 during the height of COVID all while I was pregnant and with a toddler running around. Let's just say it was a crazy time for us and we were looking for a landscaper… that could not only deal with but thrive with our wonderful world of "crazy." We found 3 companies through Facebook mom/neighborhood groups that came and gave us estimates and recommendations for our home. J&R was the last one to come and Giacamo could not have been nicer and more honest with us. He rattled off a bunch of amazing ideas and when I asked him to send us a list of them

Needed a landscaper to regrade my front, back and rear yard and lay sod. My neighbor recommended J&R and Jack gave me a fair price and his brothers and crew did a fantastic job. They did work on my property like it was their own.
