Landscaping reviews in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

J Bird Landscaping put in a great new retaining wall on our property. J and his crew were pleasant and professional and had an extremely quick turnaround time. I would recommend them to anyone!

We had 150ft of drainage installed and two sections of our yard re-graded because of excessive surface water. JBirds completed the project as we discussed, on schedule, at a good price and was very respectful to my existing landscaping. They even took the christmas decorations off a tree they had to move before they dug it up, which made my wife very happy. I would call them again for sure. Thanks guys !

French drain, surface drain, sidewalk and reseeding work was completed today. The work was done very professionally and a sidewalk was replaced well. The employees were very qualified and handled rock and trenching issues very well. Most importantly, the water problem was resolved!

JBird’s Landscaping replaced my front porch, sidewalk, and steps. They did a wonderful job. The price was very reasonable and the work they did was great. Jay and his entire crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. I would call JBird’s back for any future landscaping or concrete work.

I would definitely hire them again.Jay and his crew know what they are doing; they are consummate professionals with keen attention to detail. They have done a major earthwork and waterproofing project around my basement which prior to that leaked like a sieve. It is all dry now thanks is to them. Well done!

We had a 60' Versa Lok wall installed by J Birds Landscaping. They started and completed the job in less than a week and were very professional in the way they completed the work. Exceptional work done by Jay and his employees from start to finish. Thanks for a job well done!!

The actual retaining wall I had them do is acceptable, but the work that was done caused the pipe from the nearby spigot to break inside the basement causing thousands of dollars in water damage. Additionally, a 110 and 220 line was hit by the workers that ran from the house to the garage and they refused to take any responsibility for it and would not submit to their insurance, sending a letter from their lawyer stating it was not their fault. Finally, the overall cleanup after the job was completed was unsatisfactory with chunks of concrete left for me to deal with and mud and dirt all over the driveway.

We needed a busted retaining wall removed quickly and everyone I had talked to was completely booked for months. J Bird's landscaping was able to fit us in and get this done in a day! I am definitely impressed with this company and will be looking forward to using them again in the future. Very affordable, very easy to talk to and get what exactly what you want/need.

Jay and his team came out for a retaining wall that needed to be replaced on. They were on time, very professional and courteous. Did an excellent job and even made took some of our suggestions into consideration with the build of the wall. They worked tirelessly and kept the work space very clean. Would not hesitate to hire again or recommend to a friend!

JBird’s Landscaping did an exterior French drain around our house. They were fast but also very thorough. We were very impressed with the attention to detail and care they took to do the work right, especially being so close to the house and foundation. We’ve had leaking/wet yard issues since buying our house and finally got the work done. The price was great and we couldn’t have been happier with the job. Highly recommend!

Jay was contracted to excavate a hillside and construct a wall in front of a garage. He arrived on time to bid the project and gave an expert opinion on the best products and methods. Jay was with his crew for the duration of the project and expertly operated large equipment in very tight spaces. He even was an excellent liaison between some picky next door neighbors. The job was completed on time and on budget. I can not recommend Jbird's landscaping enough.

Jay and crew replaced our wooden retaining wall with Versa-lok stone. We are very happy with the finished product. Our neighbors can't believe the entire job was finished in 1 day!
J Bird Landscaping is affordable, professional and above all great to work with. We would recommend their services and plan on using them for future jobs.

We had an issue with water laying in our backyard. Got a couple estimates and J Birds was the best price and offered above and beyond what others were willing to do. They came put in a big French drain system in my backyard and down the side, also putting some trenches in as well. With all the rain we have been getting my yard now dries pretty quick and the water no longer ponds. From start to finish they were pretty quick. I will definitely use them again for future projects.

Jay and team were excellent. Buried an old inground pool and transformed backyard into level/usable area for the family to enjoy. Jay came quickly to quote the job and worked with us on planning and design ideas. The field team was quickly mobilized to begin work as promised and Jay was present throughout the process to help and accommodate on-the-fly changes so we were 100% satisfied. Filed team were experts, started early and spent full days completing work until done. Great value, highly recommended.

J Bird's did an outstanding job installing a French drain along the front and down one side of our house. Also, they connected the downspouts from our gutters to a separate underground pipe to run rain water away from the house. The contractor was very knowledgeable of how best to tackle our particular situation given the depth and age of our foundation. We live in the city on a narrow street with houses very close together. This did not hinder them from getting in and getting it all done in less than 3 days. We and our neighbors were very happy it went so fast. Before leaving they pressure washed the nearby driveways, the sidewalks, and even the street in front of the house to remove soil that was covering them from all the required digging. We highly recommend them to others for similar and other types of structural landscaping projects.

J Birds recently did a french drain and resculpted our back lot, about 1/2 acre, and did a great job. Jay showed up when he said he would, was attentive to my needs, did what he said he would do, was efficient, and the result is fantastic. I had a few issues which I addressed with Jay and he took care of them no problem. And the price was fair, better than most and the job he did was the best anyone could do. I would use j birds again and recommend them to my friends and family.

J Bird’s Landscaping focuses on excavation and French drains, although they do provide some other services. In 2022, I hired J Bird’s Landscaping to build French drains in my yard and to reroute a downspout pipe underground. I hired J Bird’s because they are able to dig deep and wide trenches for the most effective French drains. The workers completed the job in a few days. I thought that they did a great job with digging the trenches and laying down the fabric, drainage pipes, gravel, soil, and grass seed. In the upcoming winter and spring, I will evaluate how well the drains handle the water in my yard. (Please note that J Bird’s is busy with many customers, so you might have to wait to obtain an estimate and to book your job.)

I hired J Birds Landscaping LLC to do a French drain for a spot in my yard that would flood out with snow/rain. They were very easy to deal with. They fit me in before the end of the season and did a great job with the yard considering the work. You could barely tell anyone was here when they were done. I would use them again.

Top notch landscaper that does great landscape and wall construction. We have used John and his company with results that we are very proud of.

Owner of company put in a new driveway at my neighbors house. First day when I came home from work it appeared he dug a line out on the property line or on my side of property. Called my neighbor and he reported back that owner said he was at least 3 ft off the property line. I called him out on it in person and he said that he made a mistake. So he told me one story and my neighbor another. Upon getting a survey he dug on the line and obviously knew it. Very sneaky and unprofessional. Poor communication- think if you are digging on the property line you’d alert the neighbor. Very unprofessional.

This winter was harsh and knocked over a retaining wall behind my house. To build a new one the old one had to be removed and new one built all by hand. It was hard work. BUT Caleb and Keaton were up to the task. This company has it all. Their trucks and equipment are well maintained. Their work ethic is phenomenal. The job must not only meet your standards but theirs also. The price was reasonable and after completion all was cleaned up. If you want the best job done to your satisfaction call B&A Landscaping and construction.
