We had a fantastic experience working with JMJ Gardens, owned by Justin Jewett, and we’re thrilled to share our appreciation for their outstanding landscaping services. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, attention to detail, and true pride in craftsmanship. Justin came out personally to meet with us and was both friendly and professional. He listened carefully as we discussed ideas for refreshing our front and backyard landscaping, including garden beds, shrub trimming, a tree update, and adding fresh mulch and pea stone. He provided helpful suggestions and options without ever being pushy, which made us feel completely at ease and confident in our choices. Once we agreed on the plan and scheduled a date, Justin and his crew arrived right on time—even though the weather that day wasn’t ideal. It was overcast when they started, but as the day went on, light rain turned into a steady downpour. Still, the crew worked through it with dedication and only stopped when it became clear that the weather wouldn’t let up. What impressed us most was their commitment—they didn’t just pack up and delay the job. Instead, they returned the very next morning, early and ready to finish what they started. They worked non-stop until every detail was complete, and the result was exactly what we had hoped for. We had told Justin that we were hosting a large backyard party, and he took that to heart. The backyard in particular came out beautifully—clean, fresh, and party-ready. The gardens looked revitalized, the mulch was evenly laid, the pea stone added just the right touch, and all of the trimming was done neatly. Not a single scrap of debris was left behind. Everything looked polished and well-cared for. Throughout the process, communication was excellent. Justin kept us informed, confirmed every detail with us before and during the work, and made sure we were happy at every step. It’s rare to find a landscaping company that’s not only skilled, but also so easy to work with and genuinely customer-focused. We will absolutely be calling JMJ Gardens again for future projects. If you’re looking for a landscaping company that is reliable, hardworking, communicative, and delivers beautiful results, we highly recommend Justin and his team! — Rich N., Stratham, NH
