JR's Landscaping & Sons

Two things keep surfacing in JR's Landscaping & Sons' reviews: a patio or walkway that came out better than the homeowner pictured, and a customer who has been with them for years. One reviewer writing in January 2025 said they had used the company for roughly ten years since moving into their house, and had seen the lawn-cutting price rise only once in that time. Another, in June 2026, was six years in. Hardscape is where the detailed praise lands. Reviewers describe patios, paver walkways, retaining walls and stone steps, and they tend to notice the parts most people never see: a November 2024 customer pointed out that the crew excavated deep and laid the correct base under their paver pathway. In November 2025 a homeowner had a new patio finished in three days, with paver samples brought out the same day and a curved bump-out Orlando suggested that they ended up glad about. A September 2025 review describes the team extending one patio, building a second to match it, pouring a hot-tub foundation, and coordinating the homeowner's own electrician and carpenter — on budget and ahead of schedule. Irrigation is the other steady thread, and it comes with names. Marcelo turns up again and again for sprinkler diagnosis and repair: in a June 2025 review he relocated two heads, replaced two broken ones and capped a fifth after a fence installation scrambled the system's mapping; in an August 2024 review he and Justin solved an irrigation problem another company had failed on. Paul is named as the hardscape foreman, and Orlando, the owner, is repeatedly described as on site — a June 2026 customer said he came by every morning to walk the job with his crew. Two practical things to settle up front. Some work gets subcontracted: a September 2025 reviewer had JR's rebuild the driveway's retaining wall, with the repaving itself subbed out. And a new lawn can need a tune after the crew leaves — a June 2026 homeowner found a couple of patches of new grass weren't getting enough water and had someone out the same day to adjust it. On Google the picture is 155 ratings averaging 5.0, and the written reviews run from 2021 through July 2026 without the tone shifting. If you're planning a patio, a walkway, a retaining wall or an irrigation system, this is a deep and consistent history to hire against. Worth pinning down first: who runs your job day to day, what's being subcontracted, and how follow-up on new grass and sprinkler coverage is handled.
