We had a fantastic experience with JK Gardening Lawn & Garden Care, from start to finish. Their pricing was very reasonable, and the quality of service exceeded our expectations. Kevin and his uncle came out to plant 20 emerald green arborvitae trees along our driveway. They dug all the holes by hand, demonstrating incredible effort and precision. They even moved the excess dirt into a neat pile exactly where we requested. Once the job was done, they thoroughly cleaned up and even blew the driveway free of debris. We couldn't be happier with their professionalism and attention to detail. Highly recommend!

JK Gardening Lawn & Garden Care once again has done a fantastic job for us. They are always prompt with communication, prices are fair, and their work is excellent. Within a week of contacting Kevin, I had someone come out to assess what work I needed and had a crew show up. I asked for additional landscaping work this year, a separate quote was drawn up, approved and scheduled with ease. Thank you for another great experience!

Jose and his crew mow my 5 acre property. Rates are reasonable and services are professional, reliable, and timely. Communication is also reliable when weather forces delays.

Mr. Portillo was a life saver! He and his crew did an a ton of work for us in a rush job right before the 4th of July. Even though he doesn't live anywhere close to us, he came down to meet us after work to give us an estimate. Once we agreed on the final list of tasks and price, his team showed up in full force to get the job done. It took two days, but we were ready for the 4th. We are extremely grateful for his time and effort.

Jose was very easy to work with. He returned my call promptly and came a few days later to get a sense for the work we wanted done. We told him that we wanted to remove some old bushes and a dead tree. He talked to us about what we wanted to replace them with and he had some suggestions on trees that would work for our yard. We showed up our deck and asked about what he could do to help spruce it up. He has extensive work in putting in new decks, but just wanted to do some maintenance for now as we have larger projects on the horizon. He was amicable to what we wanted and offered up a plan to reinforce the deck and tighten up all the railings and the gate. He also laid out the plan to refinish the deck with new stain. Later that night he sent us an estimate for the work he outlined and we were happy with price. We called him the next day and planned for him to come out with his crew on a Saturday morning to start the work.
We asked him to come at 9am and he and his crew were there at 8:45am which was great since we are early risers. His team went right to work pulling out our bushes. My wife and I left him and his team and went off to Home Depot to pick out bushes and our tree. Jose offered to get the bushes and tree for us and include it in his estimate, but we are kinda picky and wanted to do it ourselves. Again he was very receptive to our plans. After we picked out our bushes and tree, we called Jose and he brought his truck up to pick them up for us. By the time we got home about an hour and a half after we left our yard was completely devoid of this giant ugly old bushes. He and his team went right to work planting away. By around noon, his team was done with the planting the new bushes, leveling off some holes in our yard, planting and staking our new tree and was all cleaned up. He had some one in the back power washing our deck and getting that ready for day 2. Once our deck was power washed it had to dry before they could get to it.
His team was back on Monday and did a great job resealing the deck and making it look almost new again. We communicated via text for any questions related to stain colors and what kind of lattice we wanted. He was always very responsive and we always felt that he was right on top of things. The deck needed to dry after Monday so his team came back Tuesday afternoon and finished up the work including adding the lattice, providing a second coat to the deck, adding the deck reinforcing, and tightening up all the railings and gate. His team was all finished and cleaned up by 6pm on Tuesday. For the amount of work they completed it was done fast and efficiently. Overall it was a great experience and we are looking forward to using Jose again for future projects.

Jose and I traded a few messages in order to get an estimate for the job and make sure he was available. He was very responsive to messages over the weekend. When I called today (Monday) to schedule the work, he said he would be able to do it tomorrow. Not being home at the time of service would not be a problem; he said it was fine to mail a check to his posted address.
When I came home from work, the work was already done and looks absolutely amazing! Considering some other unreasonably high estimates, and many providers not servicing Germantown, I am extremely pleased with the estimate, price, quality, timeliness and professionalism. I will not hesitate to call Jose again for future work!

They are very reliable, and they do an excellent job. They are punctual about coming. Their price is probably within the guidelines of what everybody else is charging. We would continue to use them in the future.
