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!

Details: Home • Cut down trees • 1 tree • More than 40 feet

Elmer and his crew did a wonderful installation on a small artificial turf installation at a rental unit we own. They were timely, professional and kept the area clean. I would definitely hire them for the next landscaping project we have. Thanx Elmer

Elmer was quick to respond and quote. Job was done exactly as expected and crew was respectful and done on schedule. Looking forward to our continued business growth with future projects. And to be able to provide some before and after photos. Today was a big clean up day!

Seeing is believing and I would have cheerfully included photos, but all my attempts to upload pics from my phone failed?? This remarkable contractor has far exceeded my expectations and I enjoy immensely finding his highly talented artisans additional projects. When Elmer and I initially met, I presented him with a rough thumbnail draft of what I wanted and he responded immediately. He is extremely flexible, presents tons of fantastic ideas and gets the job done as promised! I'm not the easiest customer to work with because I'm an artist, design on the fly and present frequent revision changes. Something else that I'd like to add is that these guys are truly qualified to build furniture. All of their measurements are spot on and they definitely understand the meaning of level and square. Seeing is believing and if you want to experience ultimate value with an extremely positive CAN-DO attitude, give Elmer and his team the chance to make you extremely happy!

Details: Completely new masonry project • Sidewalk • Residential
