John and his crew are masters of their trade, we couldn't be happier with their performance, quality, craftsmanship and professionalism. The team was patient with our frequent design changes and hectic scheduling, accommodated all our requests. Our yard turned out beautiful. Don't mind lots of open space in pictures, this will be a developing garden over time, but the foundational work is done perfectly by JWA, dry river bed, irrigation lines, waterfall, creating space for us to enjoy and add variety of plants as time goes on.

Posting about our experience in Heritage El Dorado Hills - Where JWA has done a TON of yards. We picked JWA because we THOUGHT John and his team were going to be detail oriented. But we were wrong. Our bid included about $20k of stamped concrete work and sealer. We even custom ordered a hot tub to coordinate perfectly with the concrete. The seat walls, stone accents, and EVERYTHING were chosen to coordinate with the stamped concrete.
But somewhere along the way, John forgot to include the top coat color when he revised the bid. Because everything is hand-written and not very clear, and my folks didn't catch that John had left off the crucial top contrast color. This means that our yard is full of hideous, RED concrete. John's solution? He offered my parents a gift card for dinner. Completely unacceptable and disgusting. John took advantage of my good-natured senior citizen parents who don't have it in them to pitch a fit and persistently complain or pick a fight. I'm saddened by his lack of integrity and even more for the fact that we're stuck with a yard full of ugly concrete with no resolution.

John and his team were a joy to work with during a time when other companies proved to be either too busy for our smaller project or didn't listen to what our needs/wants were. Responsive and our project was delivered as promised and on time. Would work with them again in a heartbeat.

Largest lot in Heritage. John came by almost daily to check on progress and make adjustments as requested by my wife.lol. Outstanding job from start to finish. Zen arch, patio cover, concrete patio and 100 yd. walkway (radio control car racetrack), garden boxes, studio pad, 15 boulders, rock wall, dozen of plants and trees, full irrigation system, lighting, flag pole, fence staining, rattlesnake fencing, bark, gravel, on and on.
They have also been very responsive to a coupla' small issues that later developed, nothing major. Great crew, very professional and they sure went the extra mile for us. First class all the way. They aren't cheap but you certainly get value and professionalism. Highly recommended by the owner of one of the coolest yards in Heritage.
