What recent reviews say
K. Joly Contracting delivers on every detail. From design consultation to final cleanup, the teams arrive on time, work without cutting corners, and charge exactly what they quote. Reviewers consistently praise Kevin, Dany, Anton, Jorge, and Marinna for listening carefully to custom requests, staying organized through complex projects, and treating yards and neighbors with respect. Snow removal stands out as a reliable winter service. The main friction point is advance scheduling communication-some customers get less than 24 hours notice, and one incident involved a rude snow plow operator, but the company itself earns trust for quality and transparency.
Multiple reviewers note prices are fairly positioned relative to the caliber of work, not cheap but justified by materials, warranty, and crew skill. The team excels at explaining trade-offs during design (e.g., advising against upgrades that would compromise durability) and coordinating multi-crew projects. Customers report seeing the same committed faces across fence, patio, landscaping, and retaining wall work, creating continuity and accountability rare in the trades.

Best for: Homeowners and property managers wanting professional fence, patio, and landscape work with transparent pricing and no surprises.
Think twice if: You need immediate scheduling or frequent pre-job updates; advance notice can be less than 24 hours, and one snow operator incident raises questions about crew vetting.
Strengths
- Named crew continuity (Kevin, Dany, Anton, Jorge); custom design problem-solving
- Transparent pricing and honest project scope advice
- Professional site management and neighbor relations
- Reliable multi-crew coordination on complex projects
Worth knowing
- Kevin (owner/estimator) and Marinna (admin lead); Dany (fence crew lead); Anton and Jorge (patio/hardscape leads); dedicated crews stay with projects
- Warranty mentioned as strong (reviewers confident they won't need it)
- Custom work: privacy gates for wildlife passage, fence repair when retaining wall discovered, complex sloped patio drainage
- Bin delivery service handled
- One landscaping upgrade explicitly advised against to protect concrete slab longevity

Common questions
- Do you charge extra fees on top of the quote?
- No. Multiple reviewers confirm they charged exactly what the detailed estimate quoted, with no hidden or upsold costs.
- How long will fence and patio work last?
- One reviewer expressed confidence that the base and substrate work is so thorough they doubt they'll ever need warranty service. K. Joly mentions an unbeatable warranty, though review evidence of its specifics is limited.
- Can you handle custom or unusual design requests?
- Yes. Examples include a privacy gate sized for wildlife passage and snow clearance, and retaining wall installation discovered mid-project. Kevin listens and explains trade-offs clearly.

Most visits center on the nursery: staff know plants, displays draw repeat visitors, and perennials impress. For full projects, Andrea consults and designs; Wayne and Krista handle install with precision. Two reviewers objected sharply to delivery terms ($150 for seven minutes, no assistance into homes), though the delivery person itself earned praise.
