J & J Gardening

I had Juan come over to do a complete trim-​over of both my front and back yards. The crew did an awesome job. Some tree branches were touching the roof and squirrels and mice were coming into the house. Juan came over before Tuesday afternoon before the big job to take care some of the most obvious animal routes. Great customer service! I was so happy with their service I hire them to redo my watering system. And they did an awesome job there too. Can’t recommend enough.

I dealt with Jose, who I believe is one of the owners. I called him on a Monday to see about removing ivy from my backyard and from the backyard of a neighbor. He came over that afternoon and gave us a quote that we found to be reasonable.
Jose and his crew were able to return the next day to pull out the ivy. It took them about 2.5 hours. They did a great, professional job, and they hauled away all the detritis. Jose consulted with me on several points regarding how aggressive to be with the ivy, and he gave me what I thought were good recommendations based on his experience.
I found Jose to be knowledgeable, trustworthy, and in every way a pleasure to deal with. I plan to use his company for all my future gardening needs.

In general, I am happy with the gardening services provided for my mom’s home for the past several years. However, as of late, I am unable to get them to call me back regarding extra work and to discuss services. This is after 5 or more calls. I find this very unacceptable for a long time customer. Since this is my mom’s home, I can’t just run out and talk to the gardener while they are there. My mom has also stated that they have not shown up on certain occasions lately. Perhaps they are just getting too busy.

Wonderful service. Here’s what Jose (one of the owners) did for me: helped pick out plants at nursery, delivered and planted plants with dirt he brought, installed drip irrigation, mulched entire area. This was a lawn conversion. Jose knows his plants (drought tolerance, etc) and has a good design sense for placement. He even made a couple of berms to vary the topography. Fast and efficient. Reasonable prices. Excellent cleanup. Highly recommended.

Currently renting out a home drawing near the lease termination. Since the rental included landscape, maintenance was part of the leasing agreement. Needed a quick and fast solution to clean up the property which essentially was a years worth of untouched weeds, overgrown rose bushes and dried leaves. I called Jose for the job whom responded immediately, came in for an estimate and then worked with my schedule to get the job done. Not only was it a flawless job, but there were no issues with him getting the job done before even paying him. If you need a gardner, Jose is the guy. Great rates and exceptional service. I would highly recommend this service for future jobs!

I’ve tried several gardners before and they have either given me cheap prices for poor work or too expensive and hard to get a hold of… Therefore when I called Jose from J&J and he met with me 2 hrs later for a clean up quote — it was a breath of fresh air. Not only are these guys easy to talk to and give it to you straight… But they are beyond reasonable … I hired them on the spot and have not been dissapointed. They come once a week and I’ll just say I love coming home to a clean looking house on the outside … Every time I call –Jose is more than happy to meet my expectations!!! Hire them and you won’t regret it ;)

This is the second time Jose’s team worked in my backyard. They trimmed all my trees which is out of care for years. They cut down tall grass and sprayed weed killer since I will put ground cover plants later. They asked my view before doing things and explained my lots of questions about plants care. The second day, I found one tree was miss trimmed so I called Jose again. Juan and Federico came over until I satisfied with all trees trim. They took all trash away and left me a neat backyard. Five stars.

They charged me $ 500 for the first time cleaning service and repairing the valves! After that, I still ordered four times a month regular maintenance service. However, they just didn’t show up and didn’t have any explanation. Very disappointed!!!

What an amazing experience. Jose came out the same day, quoted me amazing prices for fixing my horribly overgrown landscaping, fixing my long broken sprinkler heads and monthly maintenance. So friendly, knowledgeable and reasonable. So lucky to have found him!

We needed a gardener to do a job quick that the previous gardener had taken weeks to finish. As a result our font yard had looked hideous with a big hole in it. The people at J&J Gardening were awesome. I called around 1pm and 2 hours later the job was done. That’s what I call fast service and the work looks great. Good clean up also. We will definitely use these guys again! Highly recommended.

Good reliable bi-​monthly service. Great at cleaning things up and because they come by right after my trash day, they haul my yard debris.
They mainly use leaf blowers and this is fine but not ideal for areas covered in bark. I’m fine with this as finding reliable help is very tough.
I’ve had some trouble getting them to respond to requests for extra work. Again, I’m OK with this as the general stuff is taken care of like clockwork.

Here’s what you really need to know: Clear and timely communication. Thorough, high quality work. Knowledgable! Fair pricing, honest business practices. CALL THEM.
Here’s the personal, soft-​news story if you feel like reading more: I moved into a house that used to be inhabited by three cat-​ladies. The backyard was dead lawn, roots, weird-​ass stepping stones and creepy statuary, and gardening crap that could have been medieval torture devices.
Jose and Octavio came in, talked over what needed done, gave me a price and schedule… And then all the crap disappeared! Next I gave them a dorky to-​scale drawing of what I wanted, and they totally followed it, asking questions and giving suggestions as we went along. End result? Just what I wanted. Excellent work, good human beings. What else can I say?

Check out «J&J Gardening.» I found them after trying (and failiing) to get ahold of the other crew I’d previously used on my back yard, trees, & gutters, I gave them a call.
Showed up on time, and gave me an overview of what they were here to do in order to make sure that we were on the same page. A very reasonable price to do the entire back yard, take out a number of volunteer trees, clean up the gutters, and clean out over six months of leaves & detritus. They hauled it all away, cleaned it up, and paid special attention to the exterior cabling on the house. They even made sure to check in with me periodically to show me the progress and make sure they were on track.
Pretty darned happy right now! I’ll definitely be calling them for my next big job.

I needed this done asap since some sprinkler heads were leaking so they came by for a quote. I agreed on everything presented and asked for the quickest available day and he said he’d call me back for the schedule. 4 days later, no call, my sprinklers still leaking and now I have to find a new lawn repair. Wasted time and money.

Very happy with J & J Gardening! They built the mailbox column according to our draft, very detail work! And great job on planting trees and ground concrete work. Excellent job and reasonable price!

I thought I had arranged for a one time clean-​up and then regular weekly service. They showed up a few days later than I thought they would but did a good job of getting the yard back in shape for the initial clean-​up. That was two months ago and they have not been back to do any weekly yard service. No calls explaining why they had not started the weekly service.
After all those great reviews it seems to me they are now too busy to proved consistent yard service to new customers.
I’m disappointed, and still in need of a good gardener!

J&J Gardening has been maintaining our yard for over three years. They do fantastic work. I don’t know what we would do without them! They mow our lawn, clean our leaves, trim our bushes, check our sprinklers and, on occasion, provide us advice on how to make our lawn look even better. They also provide very fair pricing for other yard work, such as aeration, planting trees, removing bushes, trimming large trees, etc.
I wish they would do a better job of responding to our requests for quotes for additional work around our yard (not covered by monthly service), which is why I docked one star. I think they are very busy because of the great work they do so maybe they just don’t need extra small jobs — just wish they would communicate that with us.
But overall, we are very happy with them.

I hired J&J from the 4 star Unilocal review. First few times they were great.
Blowing the cut leaves from the top of the bushes — not happening.
No notice or calls when they did not show up.
Final straw, the gardeners did a drive by and thought my grass was
mowed and just kept going.

We needed three trees and four big shrubs removed from my backyard, so we got three estimates for the job.
First two quoted about $ 500, J & J GARDENING quoted us only $ 275. That’s a HUGE difference, folks. Jose (one of the J’s) said he’d be back in two days…
Two days later, Jose and his crew came in and wrecked shop. They were done in about an hour and fifteen minutes and the yard was spotless.
I highly recommend these cats for tree removal. No complaints. 5 Stars.

I called them after San Jose Gardening Service (s) took a month of call to finally tell me that would not do the job they had accepted. J&J came out the very day I called and gave me a estimate. It was higher than San Jose but I was impressed with Jose’s knowledge.
A couple of days later the crew arrived and in a few hours cleared the jungle in front and back. The yards are beautiful. They even got rid of the grass growing between the cracks in my deck! They left the place spotless.
They went beyond the minimum, dead-​heading all the flowering plants. This outfit is worth every cent you pay.
