J & R Landscaping under the leadership of Elmer is reliable, reasonable and prompt. I am a repeat customer.

Thumbtack customerOct 2026

These guys responded immediately, showed up the next morning on time, did the work they said they were doing to do, made sure all of the roots were gone, cleaned up and went on to their next job. Highly recommend-responsive, fair pricing, nice guys!

J&R landscaping was a pleasure to work with. They kept me appraised of every step in the process and had great attention to detail. My construction manager Hector had high standards and made sure every aspect of the work was perfect. I had a fence installed and brick work done as well as yard clean up. They were reasonably priced and knew their business. I would absolutely use them again.

Elmer and his crew did a fantastic job on my retaining wall & plant border, also removing a good size fern & pigme palm. Will definitely use J&R again!

Prompt with a professional team who paid attention to detail and did an excellent job removing old fence and installing a new redwood one. Not lowest bid but worth the cost. Would highly recommend and use again.

The team put in a lot of effort to bring our vision to life and was great about communicating and following up whenever I had questions. I found that being closely involved throughout the process helped ensure every detail came together just as we hoped. The crew was always receptive to feedback and willing to make adjustments along the way. The final result is wonderful, and we truly appreciate their hard work and dedication.

(Tried to post before; think I messed up, this is my 2nd try.) Woulda picked all the above if I could. Elmer & crew are GREAT! First we called for a demo job (they removed an old wall in a day), then a new fence, next, pavers on the patio; probably a new roof and stucco-ing the house in the very near future. Prices are exceptional, and Elmer is SO top of things; responsive, kind, easy to talk to. Just can't say enough about this good man and his crew. EXCELLENT WORK, PRICES, VALUE!

J&R landscaping showed up promptly on schedule to cut down a dead palm tree. They also agreed to trim two additional palm trees on the spot for a reasonable fee. They used safety precautions and minded the surrounding landscaping. After the tree work was done, they did a thorough clean up of the area, including the duff that blew onto the roof. Fantastic work!

Elmer and his entire team did a beautiful job on our project.

Excellent, easy to work with and professional!

Steve B.Sep 2024

Elmer and his crew did a wonderful installation on a small artificial turf installation at a rental unit we own. They were timely, professional and kept the area clean. I would definitely hire them for the next landscaping project we have. Thanx Elmer

We had a big clean up job after the winter storms and busy life changes. Elmer and his crew were up to the challenge for the over grown hedges, palm branches and weeds. Knowledgeable, efficient, Thank you, J&R!
