Mike developed a super plan for a small backyard and Scott and crew executed with professionalism. After two years it has matured nicely. Mike recently spent considerable time with me looking at the progress and making suggestions for changes and additions to enhance the design. Thoroughly pleased with their support and performance.

I am very pleased with the work that J & S delivered for my backyard (new build in Erie). Ryan and team were very thoughtful, and exceeded our expectations with the patio and water feature. The pricing was very fair, and we got good value for our investment. They followed up with winter maintenance tips, and have been quick to answer questions. I would recommend this company!

Scott, Mike, and the entire team at J&S are amazing. From the initial design to project completion, J&S exceeded every expectation. Also, it's the little extras like the clean up crew, hanging bird/bat feeders, and being onsite daily that make this company the best. They really did deliver on our dream project.

Great people to work with and outstanding work. We moved into a newly constructed home this year that needed the entire backyard landscaped. Scott worked with us to create a design that we were happy with, presenting a proposal then tweaking based on our input, including plant selection and placement. It was a very personal, hands-on approach. Scott provided and estimate based on the design, with all details, and the project came in right on the numbers - no surprises.
The work was done in a little over a week and everyone on the crew was professional, easy to work with, and clearly took pride in their work. For example, sprinkler placement, while planned out, was adjusted on-site where need; trees were placed in final spots based on our input at the time; accent boulders carefully placed to maximize their appearance, and clean-up done at the end of each day. The company and everyone we worked with could not have been better. Very highly recommended!
