We recently had the pleasure of working with John from JG Grading and Landscaping, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the service we received. From the very start, John took the time to meet us on-site and truly listen to our needs. He provided professional advice on what should and shouldn’t be done, without trying to upsell unnecessary services. What really stood out was how John offered us several options, including more budget-friendly alternatives. He walked us through the pros and cons of each option, giving us all the information we needed to make an informed decision. His honesty and transparency made us feel confident in our choices. John was also a pleasure to work with—very personable, approachable, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect. We highly recommend his services to anyone in need of grading or landscaping work. We’re thrilled with the results and will definitely be calling him again for future projects!
Excellent service. Mr. Glover worked with requirements involving setbacks, complex drainage and a substantial elevation buildup to create a new property contour perfect to build our house and large garage. He accurately estimated the materials and labor, and Mr. Glover's suggestions during excavation and grading proved invaluable, ensuring pleasing aesthetics and proper drainage.
