Went from estimate to project completion in two weeks (estimate on 4/9, work finished 4/23).
My property lines are crooked and Jamie figured out how to align the patio so it didn't look crooked.
Crew was friendly and professional and cleaned up after themselves each day. Jamie was on site each day to check on progress and answer any questions I had.
Overall a very good experience.
This job was for my Mom who is a recent widow. Jamie's crew were very nice to her. It is obvious that they have been working together for years and they are a well-oiled machine. I work from my home so I have seen strong crews before. But these guys are actually a cut above. They work a full day and are extremely productive. They like each other and work as one. They are friendly and responsive to requests or questions.
The project turned out beautifully. Jamie and his crew added some beautiful touches that really dressed up the area. Not only did they solve the runoff problem but they took a weedy area and turned it into a beautiful showpiece.
Afterwards we requested a walkway be added over the drainage stones to make a safer path for the mailman and the next day it was done at no additional cost.
Overall, Jamie is very nice, punctual and professional. Sorry, that I'm so late with my review.
Thank you for the work you did for us! Our lawn looks beautiful!!!
though we'd already interviewed many landscapers by that time
and my husband decided on another landscaper. Though what I like
about JT that's different from most landscapers, you can go with
him to the nursery. That's a huge plus to
see what you're actually getting, be involved in selection!
Not many if any landscapers will allow that, though they should.
We decided to put off our landscape until September
due to a recent locust problem in our area, at which time
we may consider JT .

I would definitely recommend them if you want a good end product done at a good price without cutting corners.
The pros far out numbers that small issue. Jamie quoted a very fair price and stuck to it. He was knowledgeable, honest, and professional. He was on site to ensure the job was done exactly how we discussed it. It is rare to have the owner on the job site and I appreciated his attention to detail. His design recommendations turned out great and we are very happy.
expensive than the original block we choose but Jamie didn?t charge us the extra amount.
The job went just as Jamie promised. His crew was very courteous and professional and worked under Jamies supervision. Many neighbors home during the day that watched his crew work told me they were very meticulous and hard working. JT Home Construction did what they said they would do and then some. They didn't cut corners and in the end the landscaping and retaining walls reflected the effort and quality of work. I am extremely pleased with how all aspects of the job turned out. Jamie also came up with some solutions along the way with issues I?ve always seemed to have regarding problem areas where grass would not grow properly. For several weeks after completion of job I had neighbors and complete strangers complement the work that JT Home Construction performed. I would definitely recommend JT Home Construction to anyone considering this type of work.
SINCE THEN JT CALLED ME AND HAS PROVIDED A QUOTE. HIS IS A SMALL BUSINESS AND HE WAS OUT OF TOWN THE WEEK I TRIED TO REACH HIM. HE PROMPTLY CALLED WHEN HE GOT BACK AND DELIVERED THE QUOTE IN THE TIME HE SAID HE WOULD.
"Thank you for your interest in JT Home Construction, LLC, and for posting a review so that this matter came to my attention. Based on this review and one posted previously this month, I contacted my phone company to confirm whether there was a problem with our telephone lines as I do not have your number listed in my phone log. My phone company confirmed that there is nothing wrong with the phone line, and I now question whether you called the correct business. In light of this inquiry, I have discussed this issue with Angie's List, and am working with them to verify with you that you did, in fact, contact my business and/or post the negative review for the correct business owner. As a prospective local customer for me, I would have eagerly responded to your request for an estimate. I would have hoped (and expected) that you would have tried to contact me again via telephone or via email before posting a negative review after one missed call. That being said, I welcome the opportunity for you to consider JT Home Construction, LLC, again in the future so that you can post a review based on my services, rather than based on an unfortunate, unintentional missed return call. Thank you."
"Unfortunately on the date I was scheduled to meet with the customer, I experienced an unexpected personal emergency and was unable to neither attend the scheduled meeting with the customer, nor contact the customer by phone or email to advise of the cancellation. Before I had an opportunity to contact the customer to explain the unforeseen circumstances, the customer had already posted a negative report to Angie's List, describing his version of what he believed was the reason for my cancellation - namely, a lack of interest in his business. Notwithstanding the fact that the customer's explanation for my cancellation was completely erroneous, in an effort to apologize for any inconvenience to the customer and to reschedule the appointment for later that week, I telephoned the customer to discuss the situation further. However, I did not receive a return call. While I can understand the customer's frustration, I would have appreciated the courtesy of a return call in order to explain that the reason for my cancellation and the delay in contacting the customer following the cancellation was due to unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances - not due to a lack of interest in the customer's business as is alleged in his complaint. While I always strive to put my business first, sometimes, in life, there are other situations that require immediate attention and concern, and I would hope and expect that most people would understand that. It is unfortunate I was unable to work with this customer on this job, but hope that the customer's needs are met by another qualified professional in my industry to his satisfaction."
Why not straight A's? I think their popularity did them a big disfavor. They had several jobs at a time, and had to rush, rush, rush. A couple of small alterations were met with a fury - which is a no-no when dealing with a customer. When they left there were a couple of damaged pavers, which I had to knock out with a chisel and replace. They poured "synthetic" sand between the pavers - turned out a real bummer, as the first good rain washed the latex all over the patio, now the pavers look dull. Should've stuck with the regular one. Finally...the saws the guys use to cut stone have no water hoses attached (I found out that they do exist - just cost more), it results in clouds of dust that goes all over the yard, to the neighbors windows and yards - big conflicts. Plus these guys have to breath this cr-p all day, it's just inhumane.
Just for the skills I would hire them again, but keep them on a short leash. A typical approach to contractors.
