Landscaping reviews in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Jared was a true partner from the outset. He created an incredible design and worked with us on our budget. He came up with an excellent plan to meet our needs. His crew was hard-working, professional and thoughtful. My wife and I are absolutely thrilled with the outcome. Money well spent. I would absolutely recommend them! Thanks, Jared!

Jared did a fantastic job designing and executing our vision for our landscaping needs. He went above and beyond throughout the whole process. We look forward to working with him again in the future. Thank you Jared & team!

Jared and his team exceeded our expectations of our landscaping project. We appreciated his knowledge and vision to take our modern home to the next level. When we moved in there was no landscaping and felt overwhelmed as how to plan the space. He worked with us closely to understand our needs and concerns then brought great ideas to the table. We are also new to the area and relied on his expertise for plants that are successful in this climate. He has a great design aesthetic and understands what works well for modern homes. We are excited with the results and plan to do another project with him in the spring.

We are so appreciative of Jared's knowledge, creative problem solving and professionalism. His crew was responsive and friendly as well as efficient. Jared goes beyond a contractor's role...he makes you feel assured that he wants your home to look as beautiful and healthy as possible. We recommend his services with the utmost confidence. Flowers, edging, mulching, shrub trim and care as well as layout and planning were done with expertise and in a timely manner. Thank you Jared Johnston Landscaping for continued service!

10000000% Recommend this company for all your landscaping needs!! Have been using JJ Landscaping the last 2 years for my yard, and all my landscaping needs! On my street alone in our neighborhood there 6 different houses that use them, and it’s clear as day why that is the case!! Jared and his team are the absolute BEST!! I couldn’t be happier with how awesome my yard looks! I receive compliments from all my neighbors and family about it! They work quick and do everything to the highest possible standards! I am so lucky to be on their schedule yearly! I’ll never use another landscaping company in my life again if it isn’t JJ Landscaping!!!

My pictures just don’t fully capture the beautiful new evergreen landscape that Jared and his wonderful team put together. Jared and I worked collaboratively for a while before the work on the evergreen screen started. I brought in my ideas and explained what I wanted and Jared responded with his own ideas. Eventually, Jared created an amazing evergreen screen with perennials scattered among the trees that looks absolutely stunning! Jared even helped us out when we realized a redbud had been damaged and we were going to have to quickly replace it. Jared got right out that day and got a new tree and fit it into the plan beautifully. Our garden bed was such a mess before and now it looks like it came out of a magazine. I call it my own personal botanical gardens.
Jared is passionate about his work and it shows and his team are excellent at taking their time and making sure every detail is thought of, quite literally, no stone left unturned. :). There were no messes left, all was clean and they replanted grass seed where necessary. They worked very hard in the heat to make sure things looked perfect. Jared is also very responsive. Whenever I had a thought/question, Jared responded either immediately or soon after.

I highly recommend Jared and his team. If you look at his pictures and reviews, you’ll see why he is so busy!
Just a warning: Jared gets booked quickly so consider calling sooner than later! :)

I recently had the pleasure of working with a Jared who provided hard scape and landscaping services for my property. Not only was Jared a very nice person to work with, but the quality of their work was outstanding. The attention to detail and precision was noticeable - the workers were really top notch! And, they were very considerate of my property and surroundings, cleaning up as they worked. I was extremely happy with the final result, and feel that my property looks absolutely amazing now. I would highly recommend this Jared to anyone looking for excellent landscaping services provided by highly professional and attentive employees.

I met Jared in Spring/Summer of 2022 after I had been reaching out to several landscapers in desperation. My house is in a bowl, & did not have proper drainage in place to keep it from flooding whenever we had our massive downpours during that season. As a new homeowner, I was in panic because this was not documented anywhere on my inspections or disclosures. Jared came in, saw the problem areas, & took the challenge head on - while also informing me that this may not solve the problem.

Jared & his team started working on my property July 2023, after having to jump through a series of hurdles. He remained professional through each interaction with my neighbors as well as with me. The project itself took around 3-4 weeks to complete, with a few unexpected hiccups along the way. At each hiccup, Jared would call & make sure that I was fully informed with what was happening on my property (spoiler: found a secret septic tank that was not connected to anything).

Jared was open to what my wishes were for plants, while also making sure that we put in water hardy specimens so that they would help with the drainage. Jared & his team are full of integrity, solid work ethic, & creativity. Jared did not run away from the several challenges he faced on my property, & instead faced them head on without fear.

I am incredibly grateful for Jared & his team, for the work they have done, as well as for giving me peace of mind whenever the huge storms hit. Out of all the massive storms we have had so far this year, my house has remained completely dry! & now I have a beautiful outdoor space that I can enjoy & escape to on the weekends.

Jared and his crew were happy to take on a large and difficult hillside landscape job. Jared's design was excellent and needed very little adjustment, although he was very responsive to questions and feedback. The crew was polite, quiet, professional, and very good at what they do. The surrounding site was kept tidy during work and left in excellent condition at completion. Material/plant quality looks very good with healthy plants, nice looking boulders, and finely shredded mulch installed. Post-install support has been good as well. Jared and the crew will be back for more work in the near future.

Update Sept 2024: More projects completed. We like Jared a lot and we enjoy having his crew at the house even more.

Jared and his crew were great with the project we planned. He helped us plan every aspect of it and made sure it would be beautiful and sustainable for people who don’t want high-maintenance plants. They removed shrubs, small trees, redid four whole mulch beds with new plants and removed all of the old rubber mulch we had before. The night they finished the project, we had a massive thunderstorm that washed away a lot of our grass seed and they came back to fix it the next day! He also gave us detailed instructions for care going forward to keep it looking beautiful. Highly recommend him and his crew!

We worked with Jared and his team to help us put the finishing touches on our new home construction project in Franklin Park. We could not have been more pleased with Jared's knowledge, professionalism and passion for the work he does for his customers. Jared did a great job of listening to our needs, taking some concepts from photos and making our yard amazing. He selected the perfect trees/plants and strategically placed boulders and steps in all the right places. We were also impressed with how well he appears to treat his employees and each one of them were very friendly over the multiple weeks they were working on our project. We could not recommend JJ Landscaping enough and we look forward to ongoing business with Jared and his team!

After years of fighting our aggressively overgrown back hill, we hired JJ Landscaping to help. The owner, Jared, listened to our wants and needs, provided thoughtful and professional recommendations, and executed the design beautifully with the hard work of his wonderful landscaping team. I especially appreciated Jareds candor with all of my landscaping ideas/questions, his collaboration on my plant-more-native initiative, his regular check-ins/updates, and the seamless business flow (contracts, invoicing, etc.). I highly recommend JJ Landscaping! Time to start saving the for next project. 😊

Such great people

Consistent and never disappoint.

All I can say is wow. Great service!

Poor customer service. I scheduled two appointments with these guys and they missed both appointments and could not pinpoint the reason. Did not get a call or a follow up that on missing my appointment.

Excellent service provided, listened to my wants and needs for the site and provided a landscaping plan that will be easy to implement. Thank you.

Highly recommend! This company has done an outstanding job and definitely went above and beyond to meet my every expectation!

I liked the design Patrizia made and it shows her creativity and ability to adapt her design to different locations

This is the very best full service landscaping business in Pittsburgh.we have hired them for a number of years and they never disappoint. I'm a picky Master Gardener, and these folks are the top of the crop. 🍆🍐🍏🍒🌻🌾🌷🌿

Had nothing but great results with Gardenalia. I highly recommend using this company, couldn’t of asked for a better job. They came up with an awesome design and it came out better than I expected.
