What recent reviews say

JGS Landscaping delivers solid results on routine lawn care and garden maintenance when conditions align, with clients praising named crew members Tahar and Khalid for attention to detail and the owner Jonathan for design-focused projects. However, a pattern of overbilling disputes, missed visits, unprofessional communication from the owner (including intimidating threats over payment disagreements), and particularly poor snow removal performance creates serious trust issues. Five-star reviews reflect satisfaction with garden design and spring/fall cleanups; one- and two-star reviews cluster around billing practices, no-shows, and service delivery failures.

Praised for
  • friendly and hardworking crew
  • fair pricing on lawn and garden work
  • thorough job on cleanups and edging
  • responsive to requests
Watch-outs
  • overbilling and inflated visit frequency
  • poor snow removal execution
  • communication breakdowns and short responses
  • unprofessional and threatening behavior from owner
  • incomplete or neglected work
skilled-crewfair-pricingpoor-communicationattention-to-detailupsold-unnecessary-work
Best for: Homeowners seeking garden design consultation or one-time spring/fall cleanups with clear, written scope.
Think twice if: Avoid ongoing lawn contracts; multiple reviews report overbilling, excessive visit frequency, and owner intimidation tactics during payment disputes.

Strengths

  • named crew members known for attention to detail
  • expertise in garden design and plant selection
  • responsive on routine lawn care inquiries

Worth knowing

  • Named crew members Tahar and Khalid praised for thorough edging and cleanup attention
  • Owner Jonathan noted for design-focused consultation and garden plant selection
  • Recurring dispute over October mowing frequency (claimed 5 visits not verified, unnecessary at that time of year)
  • Owner allegedly made threatening statements ('going to take you to court just to stress you out and watch and laugh') during billing disagreement
  • Snow removal consistently described as incomplete and unprofessional
  • $5/day late fee mentioned by one reviewer as disputed

Every review across a year speaks to the same experience: Laura answers calls and texts the same day, her crew shows up when promised and finishes fast, and the sod they install is visibly fresh. One reviewer mentioned a miscalculation on sod rolls; the crew waited without fuss. Grading, garden removal, patio stone work, and weeping tile burial appear regularly in praise. The word "fair" or "reasonable" on price appears in at least seven reviews. Most striking is that no review mentions a redo, delay, or complaint, and many note the site was left cleaner than it started. What makes them different: Laura personally quotes jobs same-day and checks on the crew while working. Clients describe the young crew as "hard working" and "friendly" but also precise (one mentions "attention to our requests" specifically). Sod quality-fresh cut, named varieties like Kentucky bluegrass-is mentioned multiple times. Aftercare tips, a same-day redo offer, and removal of debris down to soil preparation all appear as standard, not upgrades.
