Home Services reviews in El Cajon, California

Wonderful landscaping company! Very professional, great with follow-up. The best price we could find out there. They matched the quote from a different company so we went with them because of their professionalism and we were impressed with the level of service.
They were fast, accurate and thorough. We are very happy with our new lawn.

Craig was responsive the entire time. The installers did a great job and took their time to outline my requested design for the pavers.
Once the quote came in there was no upsale and add ons. Plus, the turf looks amazing.

JG Lawns is awesome! Eric was a complete professional and great communicator from start to finish. He came out on a Friday afternoon at 4pm and listened to what we wanted done and had a quote emailed to us in an hour. He and his crew started the following Friday and removed 25 cacti and 7 trees and then installed brand new 95oz turf in a day and a half. We couldn’t be happier with the result and would recommend these guys to anyone.

JG Lawns was a dream to work with. Eric was responsive and realistic about the timing. Their bid was reasonable and they completed the job on time. I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of installing turf.

I AM IN LOVE WITH MY NEW BACKYARD 💜 They did an amazing job! Such a wonderful transformation, its like night vs day. Eric was great, the quality of the grass is better than most and the quote he gave me was the lowest! When compared to the others, he was clearly the best choice and I am so pleased with the results! It was so easy to schedule with him and when he get a new shipment, he showed it to me right away. He was the only one that sent photos of his previous job. When he came to do the estimate, he explained the installation process, the best view/angle for the grass, etc. He and his staff even took an extra step in laying it out a different way so that I can get the best view! It was a pricey investment but worth every dollar! I’m pretty sure I will be doing business with him again if we decide to get the front yard done. Thanks Eric and your team 😊

JG Lawns and Artificial Turf did an excellent job on our lawn. They perform excellent service at an affordable value in a timely fashion. Definitely a win win experience. The personnel are professional and courteous in their approach and execution of their work. We continue to get compliments from our neighbors who were amazed by the quality and quick completion of the lawn installation. Definitely a satisfied customer.

Absolutely Fantastic! Eric did a wonderful job communicating with me via email. He always stayed in touch and kept me informed of next steps. Our yard is fairly large and had been neglected for several months. J.G. Lawns' quote for a clean up was very reasonable considering the amount of overgrowth we had. They came right at scheduled time, Eric walked me through what was to be done, and the crew got right to work! I couldn't be more happier with the end results! We will be using J.G. Lawns for our maintenance and for getting new mulch in the future. Thank you so much for giving us our yard back!!

What a great decision to turn our failing grass into a stunning look in our backyard. And the best part of the decision was deciding on JG Lawns. We interviewed 5 companies. Eric came, on time with only 2 samples. He was professional, and soft spoken with confidence- immediately showing he could "Talk Turf" and actually knew what he was talking about. Eric talked about which way to lay the turf for the best light reflection - no other company talked about this. He only had 2 samples- was because he only installs the BEST turf, and our decision was a personal preference of color.
Family owned, father had started business and Eric, his son, has been running the business i believe 10+ years. They keep the business small to insure great quality product and personal customer service. (Eric actually came to our job site twice during the install- impressive). His crew was friendly, on time, and cleaned up. They use the best Turf, and can order in bulk, giving us a GREAT price. Our job was quoted by 4 other companies all within $200; except for JG Lawns-- Eric was 25% lower than his next competitor-- Wow, Win Win for us; great company and the lowest bid.

Over the last 41 years at our house, we have had several contractors-- LG Lawns was such a great experience we are going to do our front yard next year-- We highly recommend JG Lawns!!!! Thank you Eric and family for being salt-of-the-earth GOOD people with respected work ethics and providing an old-fashion great customer experience!

We are so happy with our artificial turf install from JG lawns. We had several estimates and no one felt so collaborative and interested in actually delivering our design idea. Not to mention they were affordably priced in comparison to others. Our new lawn is beautiful and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND using JG Lawns!

I have had so many bad experiences with contractors of all trades, so my expectations were not high. From the initial meeting with Craig, who provided the estimate for artificial turf, with no pushing and who was upfront about all costs, to the project manager, who came after hours to fix a leak in my irrigation, all the way to the owner, JG, who walked through and gave me excellent recommendations, my experience was very positive. I will be hiring them again very soon. My puppy is happy with her dog run, too.

The crew was quick and my new backyard looks amazing. My grandkids and my son’s dog really enjoy our new turf!! We had a great experience with JG Lawns Turf - highly recommend!!

I was very impressed with the work that JG Lawns did for us! Every interaction from the initial estimate through the final walkthrough was great. Their crew was friendly, hard-working, and got the work done in the amount of time estimated. They also were flexible in adding and removing scope as our landscaping plans evolved during the process. They provided great value in their installation without compromising quality. I would highly recommend their services to my friends, family, and neighbors!

Hired them to do a retaining wall in my backyard and they did amazing work. They deliver great quality at very reasonable prices. They were also very friendly and accommodating for any change in schedule. This was my second project with them and will definitely go to them for future projects.

12/7/25: Changing my review to 3 stars because they had to come back three times to re-do the jointing sand. They were just using regular sand and spraying it with a sealant, but after light rains, the sand was being swept away. The 3rd time, they finally used polymeric sand, which worked great for several months. Not sure why they didn't use polymeric the first time around except to try and save themselves some $. However, because it's now a mixture of regular sand and polymeric sand for the joints, after a couple rains, the sand is still coming up and being swept away. I will not be calling them back for a 4th time. I bought my own polymeric sand and will fix it myself.

I had a great experience with this company for my paver installation. Their communication was clear and responsive from start to finish. The crew worked quickly and efficiently... my yard was completed in just a few days. Highly recommend for anyone looking for fast, reliable service.

This is the second time we’ve used JG Lawns & Turf, and they have exceeded our expectations both times. When we bought our home, they installed our lawn and irrigation system and did a fantastic job—competitive pricing, great attention to detail, and timely completion. They even came back several times afterward to check on the lawn and give us helpful maintenance tips.

Years later, we decided to switch from grass to turf for easier maintenance and water savings. Naturally, we reached out to JG again. Their quote was the most competitive among several we received, and once again, they delivered outstanding results—on time and with exceptional quality.

As part of the turf project, we asked them to install irrigation for our palms and landscape lighting, and the results were beautiful. When a small section of turf was damaged due to window reflection, they promptly offered to fix it at no additional cost.

We couldn’t be happier with the professionalism, craftsmanship, and customer service we’ve experienced. We highly recommend JG Lawns & Turf to anyone looking for lawn, turf, or landscape services.

This company is THE BEST! I have used them twice and referred my neighbors.
Eric, Craig and Fabien all top notch guys!
Got a quote on Saturday job started Monday and finished by Wednesday! Best contractor i have ever used!
Highly recommend them! Pricing was excellent and customer service and installation the best in San Diego! And I shopped 5 other vendors!

Russel and his team helped us design our ideal front yard and they executed that design perfectly. From turf, to pavers, to lighting we couldn’t have asked for better results or a faster turnaround. We’ll definitely keep them in mind for future projects.

We had a great experience working with Golden Roots! From our initial contact Russel and Whitney responded quickly and got us set up with a consultation. Russel listened to our thoughts and ideas, and was knowledgeable about what would work best for our yard. The workers were on time, respectful and professional. The end result is beautiful! It’s exactly what we wanted, and we are finally able to enjoy our yard. We highly recommend Golden Roots!

Very friendly professional and helpful

I can’t recommend this landscaping company enough. The team was professional, reliable, and paid attention to every detail from start to finish. They completely transformed the yard and made the whole process easy and stress-free. Communication was great, pricing was fair, and the quality of work really speaks for itself. If you’re looking for landscaping in San Diego, definitely give them a call.

Russel did a great job on my backyard landscaping. Did exactly what he said he was going to do and it was completed on time. Highly recommend.
