Although it can be a bit difficult at times to get a timely response from Jody, he was here when he said he would be and did terrific work. The fertilizer never quite got done, but he did offer to return and do it. He's honest, fair, and a hard worker. Yes, I'd hire him again.

"I'm afraid this review was left by mistake. We have never provided any estimates or services to this person or anyone at the listed address."

He got very busy with paver and other hardscape projects elsewhere and was not able to help me through the season as I had expected. Finally he did tell me he would be back late in the season to see what needed to be done, when he was in the neighborhood, and that did not happen. I think he got overextended in 2015 and couldn't deliver on everything I needed. I have found other help for maintenance but would recommend him for single projects if he can commit to them now.
Response from J.L. Landscapes

"Spring 2015 you inquired for services and we performed them as discussed, i thought. My email records also show you asked for additional service on 10/14/15 and we did infact perform that cleanup service as agreed on 10/22/2015. You paid for that service on 11/8/2015. I did not receive any request for service after that. I did not know you expected a cold call in 2016. I'm sorry we didn't leave a better impression and I am sorry we didn't deliver on everything you needed although i thought we had."

Excellent - meticulous job across the board. It was obvious he takes pride in his work as do his assistants. He always replied back in a timely manner when I had a question or to schedule. Great work!

Jody dug out a couple of large flower beds for us and seeded them for grass.  This may sounds like a small job, but due to the root systems in these beds it was quite a bit of work.  Jody presented us with a "not to exceed" estimate prior to starting the job, and he actually came in below the estimate, which was appreciated.  Jody has also assisted us in digging out a foundation for a new walkway/patio.

I have been using their services for a few years. They are punctual and courteous. They always do what they say they are going to do. Scheduling is very easy and they are able to do the work when I am not home.

Overall it was good, but the estimate was really expensive and they didn’t come back to explain things thoroughly to me. The plans alone weren’t enough to make a decision. I wish he would have at least called me. I would have liked him to walk back through the plans with me. I think he was just overwhelmed to the response to the Big Deal because he was listening and seemed knowledgeable.
Response from J.L. Landscapes

"I would love to discuss the design and the rough estimate i provided you. I actually have been waiting for your feedback as the design was only intended to be a starting point for discussion. I wish you had contacted us before leaving a review. That being said angieslist did sell a ridiculous amount of my designs and i am proud to say i fulfilled my end of the agreement by providing each person with a quality design at a HUGE discount. I say huge because you paid $49 and got what we normally charge $300 for. Angieslist did not compensate us any of the $49 you paid for the design. Also, the larger company's in our area have salesmen that have one job and that is to sell sell sell. If that is what you are used to i can see why you would expect us to have called you without your invitation. We do not have sales people. In fact we take pride in that we are one of the few reputable company's that the person who you work with to complete your design is also getting dirty leading the crew on EVERY job site. -Jody Linnabary"

Jody has performed work for us for over a year.  All work was done as needed or as requested.  All work was completed as expected and to our satisfaction.  My husband commented that our yard has never looked better during the winter months!  We have counted on Jody's expertise many times in selecting plants for the yard as well as placement.  We highly recommend Jody and will continue to use him for any of our landscape and yard work.

Jody was easy to work with, did a great job, on time and on budget.  New grass seed was planted at exactly the right time and looks great; I hope tree does as well over the next year.

Never received services, asked for a refund and got no response!!!!!!!!!
Response from J.L. Landscapes

"You must be mistaken? I provided you with a design before Thanksgiving last year and can make more copies if you wish. In fact I went out of our service area to do so as angieslist allowed you to buy this deal while living in Blacklick when it was intended for Dublin/Arlington residents only. I personally visited your property 4 times before presenting the design, a 1 hour drive each way. The reason I needed to visit your property so much was because as you know your house was not even built yet. I have repeatedly tried to contact you after you left this review. The phone number angieslist provided us with for you is not in service. Please contact us A.S.A.P. as we will do whatever it takes to resolve this. Also, I would be happy to get you a refund. I would first ask angieslist for a refund as they collected $49 for this design and passed absolutely none of that to us. If they have a problem giving a refund because you waited so long to say something I will give you $50 out of my pocket. -Jody Linnabary Owner, JL Landscapes"

Jody was excellent. He provided honest assessments of the situation and sought my opinions. HIs demeanor was friendly and I felt that I could really trust his professionalism and ethics. The work was done with a high level of quality and in a timely manner. Jody and I agreed to several Do Not Exceed estimates. When the work was finalized, the labor and supplies was more than the agreed upon amount. However, his invoice reflected the do not exceed estimate. 
I would certainly recommend Jody to anyone and will be happy to have him service my lawn again in the future.

The entire experience was great.  We bought one of Angie's Big Deals for a landscape design and were very happy with Jody, so we decided to hire him to complete the actual work.  Jody was very professional and his knowledge about the plants was outstanding.  Jody took the time to answer any questions we had, and we had a lot. 
The work was complete in about 3 days and actually came in well under the original quote due to the thrifty plant shopping of Jody.  How many times do contractors do that?

The owner Jody contacted me quickly and was very helpful in explaining options for an outdoor patio (this was just the planning stage, so no actual construction was done). The relatively simple two-dimensional plan did not take long to generate and looks nice. No complaints at all, will be following up. More research is needed to know how actual installation prices compare with others.

All around they have done a really great job. 
I have used JL Landscapes for the past 8 years.  I own and operate my own commercial/residential real estate company where we own, operate, and maintain our own properties.  JL Landscapes has been our exclusive landscaper for both our business and personal needs.  
They have done everything from mowing and regular maintenance to designing services that have created some beautiful landscaping at our homes as well as out commercial properties.  The price and quality of work has always been at a level the meets our standards and they continue to do so.
Lastly, we have been extremely impressed with the design work that JL Landscapes has provided at our commercial buildings as well has my home.  The thought and strategy that has gone into the design in my back/front yard have been more then great. They came up with a design that includes strategic position of bushs, a paver patio, and some great flower arrangements that as a whole, has given my home an instant boost in value.  
Again, I would highly recommend JL Landscapes to anyone for there residential/ commercial needs.

He came out and was very pleasant when he was at my home. He sent me a plan via email for his recommendations. I considered the plan was not very specific. I initially told him that I really wanted a shade tree for my backyard. Which he did not even include in the plan. I thought it was far less than what I believed that the advertising for the deal would have included. I was very disappointed
Response from J.L. Landscapes

"[member name removed], I am very sorry you are disappointed. I am also disappointed because i have been waiting on your feedback for the design I prepared for you. The design i sent you was just a starting point for discussion and as with any design i am happy to rework or add to any part of the plan if you are not satisfied with it. My intention was to give you exactly what you wanted. When I met with you and we discussed your landscape it was my understanding that you did not want to redo your entire landscape but instead focus on key problem areas that you have. I prepared designs for you that were very specific in that they only contained deer resistant plants. The plants were labeled. I also sent you some of the material i use for selecting deer resistant plants for you to have. According to my notes, you wanted to replace your already removed Ash tree and you wanted tree selection ideas. I did not include A new shade tree into the design because we already discussed it going in place of the ash tree. The plant lists i sent you were intended to help you select that shade tree. Some of the trees that we discussed in person are on that list. I take great pride in the work that we do here at J.L Landscapes. I personally spent over 12 hours working on your design making it of the highest quality possible and I am willing to do whatever it takes to make you satisfied with our work. please contact me: [email protected] -Jody Linnabary owner: JL LANDSCAPES"
