J & S Landscaping

The lower cost per sq ft compared to TREX allowed us to also install a fire pit with gas line. Jeff Letosky and Jeff Stulberg and the entire crew were great to work with. Jeff Letosky provided us with sample pavers in different colors and textures and patterns as often as we needed to make sure we were happy with the selection. With TREX you get 5 or 6 colors to choose from…with pavers there are limitless colors, textures, and patterns. From tear down of the old deck to finally laying the sand in between the pavers they were awesome. They showed up on time every day…they cleaned the worksite before they left every day. There were a few days delay but for a good reason. They were not happy with the quality of some of the pavers and kept sending it back to their supplier until it was perfect. They also mulched our home and are laying down sod when the quote called for just seed. They just thought it would look better. I highly recommend them !!!!! Some before and after pics.

We have utilized the services of J & S Landscaping for many years.  The crew is prompt and courteous.  They do a top notch job and once they leave there is not a bit of anything out of place.  Jeff Stulberg is great to work with.  He's a good guy and always very responsive.  We would highly recommend using their services.

I can?t say enough great things about the landscaping, patio, and deck J & S did for us! Not only are they professional, but truly care about doing it right and to our specifications. Jeff, Jeff, and Dave helped us with design (actually they did most of it) and treated our home as if their own!

Our custom fire pit is beautiful! We have sat at the fire every night since it was finished (unless raining). We have had neighbors stop and ask to look at the work, and we have never met them in the 11 years we?ve lived here. One even told me that he took a card from J&S because he liked the work they did.

Wonderful group of people, and we highly recommend this company for anyone needing landscape, patio, and trex decking!

Jeff Letosky was the designer and did a great job! Dave is the patio man and is fabulous! Thanks guys!!

We called J&S based on the reviews and we are happy with the their landscaping work. J & Sredesigned my front yard, removed weeds, edging, hardwood mulch and installed plants. They arrived on the installation day as promised and finished all the work in less than 8 hours. Jeff & Jeff oversees the work and makes sure everything is done as per the design. They do a clean job, and I would recommend the company for landscaping needs. I cannot comment on the plants yet, they look healthy so far.
I am taking one star off because they charged me 300$ for sprinkler repairs but when I called 2 weeks later because couple of zones were not working, Jeff (owner) insisted that I pay another 80$ for an hour for someone to look at it.I would not recommend the company for sprinkler repairs.

Owner very abrupt and rude. Increased price at end of project. I would not recommend this group.

We learned about J&S Landscaping after searching for authorized Belgard installers in Michigan.   We had a general concept idea of what we wanted, and after looking through hundreds of paver and wall options online and in catalogs we decided on Belgard.  Our project was very challenging and involved digging underneath our existing house to underpin the foundation to pour concrete footings, cutting a large hole through the concrete structural wall and creating a 6' wide walkout basement up to a patio.  The project also required a landing with drain, steps with retaining walls, lighted columns, seatwall, beds created for over 100 plants to be installed, and pavers and steps in the front yard.   We knew that we needed a contractor that was Belgard authorized, a licensed builder, had our complete trust, and also had experience with complex building/landscaping projects to pull this off correctly.
At the initial phone call with Jeff Stulberg (the owner), we learned about J&S as Belgard authorized but also had the capability to do large scale building/landscaping projects through his partner, Jeff Letosky.    After meeting with Jeff L a few times, there was little doubt he was the right choice for us.  We chose to work with him over a dozen other contractors we interviewed, and he could do it within our budget.
It was by far the right decision!   He handled the complexity and scale of this project with ease, and answered hundreds of our concerns throughout the project with a calm and well thought out approach.  The plant selections were excellent (which we did not fully understand early on in the project), and he was right about nearly every decision and recommendation throughout the entire project.  By far the best part about the project was working with Jeff L and his crew.  It was a pleasure and we now have a beautiful walkout basement and patio in our backyard (along with a much improved front yard).   We were exceptionally impressed with the crew as they were always pleasant, friendly, and knowledgeable.   
The project did take significantly longer than expected and we were told that this was due to the excessive rain this season.   Now that the project is complete we have noticed a few minor concerns, and trust they will honor the warranty period if it becomes necessary.   
Overall we are very satisfied with the work performed and the exceptional crew we worked with throughout the project.  We would hire them again!

It was a trying experience.  The communication was poor throughout the process. 
Changes were made throughout  without any communication. 
I can't get a return call to address anything.  Minor details but I can't get them addressed.  I finally got them on the phone to set up a meeting and they arrived without notice (when no one was home), didn't give any feedback and I have yet to get a phone call.  only a couple of texts- initiated by me - with limited information.
The finish product could be better.  I wish I had taken some time before I gave final payment but the owner claimed he wasn't leaving until he was paid, he said he would "sit at our dinner table" (6pm on a Friday, I had just pulled in from work and, we had guests coming over)
When I raised an issue with the work, he suggested a solution that I didn't agree would work, he then said "you should do your own landscaping" 
It's a shame because they were great on the design side, the bulk of the project looks great.

They were professional and respectful of emerging growth in the garden beds.  They cleaned up after themselves and the work was done in a timely manner.  I would definitely use them again.

I called J & S Landscaping on Friday afternoon, and they were able to deliver it on the same day!  This is excellent service, and I will definitely call them again.

They do a great job cutting our lawn and fixed our sprinkler system. Very friendly staff.
