Landscaping reviews in Vancouver, Washington

Our project with J's Custom Landscaping exceeded our expectations. This was our second project with them, our first was a patio under a deck, and both are perfect. The crew was professional and worked through some 90+* temperatures during our project. I explained my vision and they were able to make it a reality with minimal direction. The retaining walls are beautiful and our water feature exceeded our expectations. If we noticed a small flaw they corrected it immediately. They are very easy to work with and when they said they would be coming, they showed up. We are very pleased with the end product and would highly recommend them.

We love our new paver patio! Geoff came out to our a house a couple times before we moved forward and helped us decide on the type of stone and design of the patio. We never felt rushed, or that he was trying to get a sale. Geoff always answered our questions throughout the process. Adolfo, Jose, and Julio were also professional were meticulous but also efficient. They did beautiful quality work and cleaned up every day before leaving. The team takes pride in their work and it shows! They had great communication and were flexible with a couple last minute changes we made. I highly recommend!

We’re so happy with the work J’s Custom Landscaping did on our pathways and lower patio. We can now walk on it at ease feeling safe on the slope. Working with Nick was great! The gentlemen sent out to our home were respectful and worked really hard on this project. Thank you again.

Oscar, Filiberto and Oscar really did an amazing job on our yard. Audra and I are beyond happy with the look and are planning future yard projects with J's.

J's a Custom Landscaping has transformed our overgrown mess of a yard into a virtual oasis. They had a huge job on their hands. This yard both front and back had been untended for I don't know how long. My husband and I had Jay come out and go over some ideas and requested suggestions and together we came up with a plan. We received a detailed quote. They do have an office to contact if you have any concerns or questions. They also respond in a timely manner to your emails. Many landscapers have no office. As the project moved along they were more than accommodating when we wanted to tweak things in a different direction than originally planned. They always made sure we were satisfied with the work as it progressed. The project included a retaining wall in front and one in the back yard, a new fence in the back, paver paths, big slabs for a patio base, an arborvitae "screen", a complete dig out of existing front yard, with new sod and a curved stone stairway from the street up to our house. Before, guests had to walk up the steep driveway to get to the house so we definitely wanted to add steps. It was a complete outdoor "gut job". We could not be happier with the result. The workers were the hardest working guys we ever saw and the weather was hot hot hot. We would recommend them to anyone thinking of any yard project, big or small, and extremely skilled in customizing a plan to your particular needs or limitations your area may impose. They were simply fantastic! Thank you to Jay, Adolfo, Jose and others for your tireless efforts and for transforming our yard to something we could finally be proud of!

I am having a wedding in my backyard and needed extra space. Victor, Nicholas, and Julio did the incredible back-breaking work of installing my paver patio. They were early to work every single day, and stayed late to finish and barely took breaks. They were kind, with great attitudes, and helped me decide on a few details after the plan was formed. I’m honestly in awe of what they did. Very talented trio! Greg sold me on the job and instantly I knew I could work with him as he was honest, humble, and never raised an eyebrow at the small changes I made along the way. They were very respectful of me as a woman making all the decisions. All of them had incredible attention to detail and though they had plenty of other jobs to do after mine, they did everything to perfection! I would hire them again without question. These guys deserve recognition for a job well done! (Pics we’re taken right after they finishedso still damp and seeded grass on borders)

We hired J's to design and execute the landscaping of our new home. It was a very large and challenging project at approximately one acre on a sloped lot with serious water run-off issues to deal with. Every person we dealt with was a joy to work with and took a personal interest in our project.

Their design incorporated dry creek beds to channel water in an aesthetically pleasing way that matches our taste. We had the largest rain storm we have had in years last night and the dry creek beds did their job!

They also did extensive irrigation, a retaining wall, lawn, bark, dozens of boulders, a walking path, and over 200 trees and shrubs. The whole job took significantly longer than originally anticipated but they stuck to their original bid while accommodating several on-the-fly changes and even threw in a few extras.

This was Phase 1 of 2 and we will definitely hire J's again in the future. I have recommended them to a couple friends and would highly recommend them to you.

Jay and his team were amazing. Our neighbors cut all their trees and Jay and his team came, reviewed and had a plan in mind. His team planted a row of 200+ ft of various evergreen fast growing trees and they are great. During the hot summer he provided the supplies of have them watered by a timer. Great service! Highly recommend Jay and his team.

Wow! J’s Custom landscaping has helped us in the past with fixing our sprinkler system and revitalizing our (clay soil) lawn and we were very pleased with their work. However, the recent work they did for us blew us away! This past month, we had them tear out both sides of our front lawn and our large tree, and create a brand new landscaped environment, with boulders, a dry riverbed, a new tree, perennials, shrubs and blueberry plants. We are thrilled with the results, which far exceeded our expectations for what we ever imagined our yard could look like. Every time I drive up to my house now, I have to walk around and admire the yard. Within one day of having the job completed, multiple neighbors had stopped by to ask who we had to do the work.

Greg, who managed the project, communicated with us on a daily basis with updates on the project, especially when temperatures reached 105° and adjustments had to be made. He was also flexible on plans for the landscaping, allowing us to incorporate existing plants and also to pick which plants we wanted included in the final landscape design. (I am a plant nerd, so this was important to me!) The crew was hard-working and professional.

Really cannot recommend this company enough.

J’s did an absolutely amazing job redoing our backyard with artificial turf! From the beginning the process was easy and professional. Nick came out and showed us turf samples and gave us a quote before he left our house. Communication was fast and easy. The guys that did the work were very professional and courteous when moving machinery back and forth, they covered the rock pathway from the front to the back to minimize dirt in the rocks, they were very efficient, the job was completed in 3 days. The installers went and above what was asked of them and adjusted our existing sprinklers to get them aimed appropriately and they even installed stepping stones which was not part of the job. They transformed our torn up, mushy backyard into the enjoyable area that we have been dreaming of for a long time! Thank you so much to everyone involved! Highly, highly recommended!

We just had our backyard redone by J's Landscaping. Before it was just a swampy mess of mushy grass that wouldn't drain, even after wasting our money on installing 2 French drains.
Just look at it now! Jay and his team made all the difference. Knowledgeable, courteous, creative, flexible, very reasonable, accommodating, trustworthy, reliable -- all the positive adjectives!! :) We highly HIGHLY recommend their service. (Photos show the yard with the grass removed, and after)

This company is above reproach! We're so excited to see our yard this Spring. It already looks so beautiful. The Team Oscar, Filiberto and Oscar too, were kind and worked so very hard every day. They kept us in the loop the entire projects. Can't wait to work with them on our next projects. Jay was wonderful too! This is a 5 star company for sure.

Adolfo, Jose and Jesus were the A-Team for my project!!! Nick was great to talk to and understood what I wanted then moved my project up when the “A-Team” were available!!! I am so grateful to hem for doing such a great job and understanding my budget issues! my only regret was not buying them lunch! I got you guys and will be sure to get a lunch to you soon!
THANK YOU SO MUCH and I will be using J’s again in the future!!!

J’s custom landscaping team did a fabulous job of installing a mini rock border and enhancing landscape along the side walk of our place in Camas, WA. The owner, Mr.Jay Hofer’s approach is hands on, very professional and the project was finished by his skilled team in a timely manner. They take pride and dedication in their craft and were willing to meet our expectations by making requested modifications.

We had help from Greg and his crew. They were awesome to work with. They listened well to what our needs and wants were and helped us design our yard and need for drainage. We felt they really cared about what we were wanting and have been easy to get answers when we needed information about caring for our yard. 2 years later we still love our yard and get so much enjoyment out of the money we spent. We would definitely recommend Greg and J’s landscaping company.

We are very happy with the results of our backyard landscape project. Jason provided a design and his team quickly cleaned our backyard and installed ground cover and plants. All team members were professional and friendly. We are happy that we had J’s Landscape do our project.

I honestly couldn't say enough nice things about the work J's Custom Landscaping did and how easy it was to work with Nick. From the start everything was efficient and he was always available to answer my questions and very flexible when it came to dealing with my indecisiveness over our new patio.

The job was done quickly, quietly, and they left our yard looking immaculate. The patio looks better than I could have imagined. We will be calling J's for all future projects and highly recommend them.

My husband and I are incredibly happy with our new backyard. We were very pleased with the work J's Custom Landscaping provided. Nick was always very responsive and kept us up to date with how progress was moving along. The crew of guys on our job had an amazing work ethic. They worked hard, efficient, and tidied up at the end of each day. Each day, we were amazed at how much they would achieve and how they really pulled our vision together into a beautiful and functional backyard. Bonus - the work crew was always kind enough to make sure there was a clear walking path for my parents who live in an ADU behind our main house.

J's Custom Landscaping installed retaining walls, proper drainage, a paved elevated patio, 600 sf. of artificial turf and paved pathways connecting the patio and both houses.

Thank you, J's Custom Landscaping,  we look forward to doing business again in the future.

Chris is absolutely amazing! From the moment he arrived, he was patient, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to address every question I had about my sprinkler system. He took the time to explain what he was doing and why, making sure I understood each step of the process. His professionalism and knowledge were evident in everything he did, and it gave me complete confidence that my system was being well cared for.

What really stood out was how thorough he was—he didn’t rush through the job and made sure everything was working perfectly before leaving. It’s rare to find someone who combines expertise with such a kind and approachable attitude, but Chris does exactly that.

We’re planning to remove some trees in the near future, which will require adjustments to our sprinkler setup. There’s no question that we’ll be requesting Chris specifically to come back for those repairs. It’s clear that he takes pride in his work, and we couldn’t be happier with the service he provided.

The company is lucky to have someone like Chris on their team—he represents them with the highest level of professionalism and care. I highly recommend Chris to anyone needing sprinkler system work; you won’t find a better combination of expertise, patience, and genuine customer service!

About a year ago, we envisioned changing our backyard into an entertaining space. We attempted to get several quotes and found ourselves ghosted by several different companies who visited us initially.

After going back to read reviews and talking to friends, we found J's Custom Landscaping. From our initial appointment with Nick, we were thrilled with his attention to detail and referral to landscape architect, Harley Barber who created an amazing initial design.

Nick then worked with us to provide solid cost quotes and we refined the vision into what our budget was. The crews who worked on the project were super friendly, paid attention not to disrupt the front yard landscaping and were just amazing workers in all sorts of winter weather.

Both Nick and Jay (who worked with us on the patio cover) were amazing communicators throughout our project. It was finished on time and on budget and we are super thrilled with all of the work that was completed.

I would highly recommend working with J's Custom Landscaping for any yard transformation project.

From start to finish, we were so happy to work with them!

We just recently moved to Vancouver and needed to create a space for our puppy. J's, Jason and his crew completed our work with total professionalism. They cleaned up every night after working and were pleasant and courteous.
