I chose T.J. Outdoor Maintenance, Inc. for their professionalism, design ideas, and transparent fees, I knew I'd like the patio, but they exceeded my expectations. Their daily updates, patience, and flexibility were very much appreciated. Kudos to Tim, Manolo, and the crew at T.J.'s!

The crew that did the trimming and mulch was great and very professional. They worked quick and very neatly and when they left at the end of the day, things looked beautiful. Several neighbors stopped over to comment and ask about the work. I'll bet they'll be calling TJ's next year.
The other work they did this spring was to install a fence along my property line. The did a good job and left the area around the post neat and level. The fence is also straight and level. Overall, a very good job.

I would highly recommend TJ's for your landscaping needs. They were prompt and do a great job of cleaning up. Their work is top notch and they are very professional. We have been doing business with them for over 10 years and plan to continue.

We switched to TJ's from a service we really weren't happy with and have never had a reason to switch again since. They are a very professional service and meet all our needs for yard maintenance. They also did a paver path for us years ago which has held up great. I recommend them highly.

OUTSTANDING results and customer service!
Knowledgeable, friendly, engaged experts helped with our projects. The only reason we wouldn't use TJ's again? We ran out of projects and their work is of such high quality we don't need rework!
Our first experience with landscaping company and the ONLY one we will ever use.

We switched to TJ from another lawn care service this year. The previous provider mowed too frequently, cut the grass too short, left big trenches around the edges versus just edging, and mowed so fast that the mower made divots on turns. They were non-responsive over a period of time to our comments on these items, so we switched. TJ mows a neighbor and their lawn looked much better than ours. We also had TJ do a front walkway and porch step with pavers years ago, and were very satisifed with that work. SInce the switchover at the first of this year, we've been very satisfied with the work TJ has done, including mowing, mulching, and tree removal. They are timely with the mowing but don't rush through it, and the lawn looks much better. I would recommend TJ's Outdoor Maintenance based on the quality of their work, and the organization is also very professional in terms of billing, and response to requests for additional services.

Tim came out and gave me an estimate for all the work to be done. He was the one to suggest fanning out the walkway pavers from the step and the driveway. In speaking with Tim I found out that T. J.'s also paves driveways so I got an estimate for that aas well. My estimate was itemized which I liked because I could pick and choose what I wanted done if I could not afford all of the projects at once. His was actually lower than 2 others estimates I had gotten. I got one other estimate for the driveway and Tim's estimate was $50 less than that one. I decided to let T. J.'s so all the work. I even called back because I had several questions before I made my final decision and Tim got right back to me. The work began on Tuesday Oct. 18th. Wednesday it rained and no work was performed until Thursday. Work continued on Friday and by the end of Saturday all the pavers were installed and everything was cleaned up. In the front the crew had to move several plants. They planted them in other "holding" spots in my garden. After the pavers were installed they put my plants back near their original spots. They mulched around all the plants they had disturbed. Since the my yard was so wet and muddy they evened out all the "tracks" they made through the grass to get to the back patio area and seeded many areas where the grass was so worn. They even left extra mulch so I could spread it near the driveway after it was completed. Tim's crew was great, very professional and polite. They even asked me which way I wanted the border pavers to be placed. They cleaned up each day and left me my old wooden back step in the front so I could step up into my house with relative ease before the pavers were installed. I believe Tim was on site to check on the work and he actually dug up the original asphalt. My driveway was paved the following Tuesday morning. All the work was completed within a week. I was very pleased with the job!

Usually did a pretty good job. At the time a bit pricey for my small yard. Had to sign up for a plan with no flexibility as to weather. Big time communication problems between this company and myself. Part of that was my responsiblility I fell they could have been more responsive to my needs and occasional questions. There was a discrepency over the bill for services provided. I had questions. They were not answered insuch a way that i understood what was going on. Again, part of that misunderstanding was on my part. When the bill was finally paid in full, The company sent me a letter telling me they would no longer provide services.

"This is the second report from this client. His original report was dated July 2010. We have not provided service to this client since 2009. Below is our response to his original report..........We provided service to this customer for 2 years. We bill for our services on a monthly basis and there was not one month during the two years of service that we were paid on time. We responded to all of the customers requests in a timely fashion and then we were forced to make phone calls requesting payment for services. His 2009 service was completed mid October 2009 and did not receive final payment on his account until April 2010. We elected not to provide service to this client in 2010."

We went with TJ's for our mulching and spring cleanup largely based on the price: $700 for the entire service. We have 1800 square feet of beds to be mulched so the flat cost was appealing (we'd have spent more than half that just for mulch if we'd done it ourselves), and many were overrun with crabgrass which is very labor-intensive to remove.

Scheduling is almost always an issue with TJ's - we had to contact them multiple times to get a date for the service, but they eventually got around to us!

The results were outstanding. It was a full-day job for 3-4 workers, and when they were finished the yard - front, back, and all beds and tree surrounds - looked phenomenal. Our neighbors were quite complimentary as well, which is always nice, and given the time it would have taken my wife and me to do the same job (at LEAST a full weekend), the cost was more than reasonable.

As far as their standard mowing/weeding/edging service, it's only OK. It knocks the grass down, and is well-priced, but if you're looking for a top-grade, attractive lawn, consider another service. If you just want it cut because you hate doing it yourself, they're for you! Only $30 a cut, and weeding is $15 either weekly or bi-weekly (bi-weekly works fine for us).

They were excellent. We were very happy with them. They were professional. They were on time. They made some suggestions that we decided to go with, which we didn't think of on our own. All the people that worked with them were professional as well. We would absolutely use their services again in the future.

They were okay. They don't really call you back. They haven't called us back in two years. We wanted a tree removed, but they didn't call us. When we schedule a service, I request that they call beforehand, but they just show up. They cut the grass well. The quality of their work is average. I wouldn't use them for any more than grass cutting.

"We have been providing lawn maintenance service to this client since 2006. Over the years we have also provided other services such as aeration & overseeding of their lawn, tree removal services and have mulched, edged, weeded and cleaned up their beds. They have just renewed their contract for lawn maintenance for 2012."

We have seen their work in the area; this, and their price have stood out for us. They were responsive to our questions and in getting back to us with the quote. From start to finish they were great. Their ideas were great, receptive to our ideas and changes. There was a high attention to detail. Some of the things we had talked about but we forgot about, they still did. All of the people, including the subcontracted companies who did the sunshade were great as well. Their communication with TJ’s was excellent.

Poor customer service and communication was an ongoing problem. Late with mowing at times. There was a misunderstanding on my part with the bill. Consequently, after several contacts with office, the bill was paid in full, although admittedly significantly late. After they received their money, I was notified, by mail that I would not be offered a new seasonal contract. Very disappointing since I believe I acted in good faith and cooperated fully. I think their actions were arbitrary and unilateral.

From start to finish with Tim and the crew he assigned to the project, everything went extremely well. The project started and finished precisely when Tim said that it would. The quality of the work was outstanding and his crew worked diligently and with amazing precision. The preparation and care that they took to ensure that the design was what I wanted was second to none. We made some changes as we progressed at the recommendation of Tim and his crew that paid off with a beautiful patio that shows the mark of true craftmanship. The real value lies in all of the prep work and the tons of stone that serve as the foundation for the pavers that can be seen. No one came close to that attention to detail that Tim explained during the proposal process and delivered flawlessly with the building of the patio. The work was done last summer, it weathered the winter well and looks as if it had just been done yesterday. I subsequently referred Tim to two different neighbors and they couldn't be more pleased with the quality of their patios. After the patio was completed I had Tim and his crews come back for some major landscaping work - planting several large trees, reseeding and regrading the lawn, moving some very large boulders into place and the work was as professionally done with the same results I experienced with the patio. It was the best experience I've had with someone doing work around my home.

HE IS VERY PUNCTUAL, COMES EVERY WEEK AT THE SAME TIME. IF YOU FEEL YOU DON'T NEED YOUR GRASS CUT THAT WEEK, YOU CAN CALL HIM AND TELL HIM AND HE WON'T CUT IT.
