Jimmy's came to our house and removed multiple trees from our back yard. Their team was professional, organized and extremely quick. They went out of their way to make sure they didn't damage our grass with their vehicles and did a great job cleaning up. Highly recommend! Service: Lawn care

I have to honestly say that Jimmy's landscaping is by far the best company we've worked with in Connecticut. Hands-down best customer service and Jimmy is just incredibly incredibly friendly. Will use these guys forever

Client last year. Mowing and lawn care. Emailed them a few times and called the office about the guy they had trimming- nothing changed. Even emailed them pictures- 3 examples are below. He scalded the edges around the curbs- burnt out and then had weeds- had to reseed last fall, weed-whacked my red-wood steps (had to have the repaired), weed whacked a plastic down drain had to have it fixed, and consistently did a horrible job edging around the house and my Belgium block.
Also used their lawn treatment services - horrible job, growing weeds all over- and skunks tore up part of my lawn for the grubs. However, to be fair the guys they had cutting did a very good job. Poor edging, horrible results from lawn care, and no response - they did send me a renewal?

My mower broke on a Saturday after a half mowed lawn during his busy season. I emailed him that day asking if he could cut my lawn assuming he wouldn't be able to. He shows up the same day even though it was 7 pm on a Saturday night to cut my lawn for me. No one does that these days. Super impressive. I strongly recommend jimmy. From Ryan S

Jimmy has been doing my lawn and landscaping for 4 yrs now and he is the best! We have a lot of little kids and animals here and they are nothing but kind everytime they are here. The business is run beautifully. Jim always answers the phone or gets back to you promptly. I have never met a landscaper as efficient. We never have to worry. Best Lanscaping company ever!
