J O Landscaping is a Waltham, Massachusetts landscaping and lawn care business built around owner Jerson Ortiz, who says he worked for years at a golf course before starting the company five years ago. Reviewers write about Jerson by name rather than a faceless crew — a sign of how hands-on the operation still is. Speed is the thread that runs through every review. One customer says he showed up the same day her yard needed mowing, edging and trimming; another that he agreed to mow the following day "in 90 degree heat"; a third that he "responded fast, showed up quickly" for a one-time mow-and-haul. In a 2025 review, a homeowner described a bigger project — reviving a side yard that had sat unattended for over a decade, laying a stone gravel path with stepping stones, and planting new shrubs to the customer's specifications. On Thumbtack, where the business holds Top Pro status, it carries a 5.0-star average across 34 ratings, with 97% five-star and no ratings below four stars. Several reviewers specifically call out fair, reasonable pricing alongside the fast turnaround. For a quick mow, a cleanup, or a small hardscape job — a stone path, a planting bed, a neglected side yard — in the Waltham area, the record so far points to prompt, personally-handled work at a fair price.

Jerson is incredible! I am so lucky to have found him. My yard was in urgent need of mowing/edging/weed-whacking/trimming, etc. He came the same day! I had many specific requests - he didn't forget a single one. My yard and shrubs look amazing. And the price is very, very reasonable given the level of work and his friendly, professional attitude. I am now going to have him come every two weeks. Jerson is the best!! Hire him.
Very happy with the service from J O Landscaping. I needed a quick one-time mow and haul-away. They responded fast, showed up quickly, and left the yard looking incredibly clean and neat. Pricing was very reasonable. I would definitely hire them again!
I can’t recommend Jersen at JO Landscaping enough! My front yard had become completely overgrown with tall weeds, grass and invasive plants. The transformation is incredible - he cleared out the mess, pruned the large evergreen and surrounding shrubs, and left the lawn and walkways looking clean and professional. His work has completely restored our home’s curb appeal. If you're looking for someone who does quality work at a fair price, Jersen is the one to call!
Answered my request quickly and agreed to mow the lawn the following day in 90 degree heat! Highly recommend a true professional!
J.O. did an excellent job reviving our overgrown side of the house. I was happy with his quality of work. The side of the house was unattended for a couple of years and the grass actually never grew well in that area ever since we moved here (over a decade). J.O. has transformed the area. We talked about what I envisioned for this side of this house. J.O executed the plan as discussed. He installed stone gravel path in that area, completed with the stepping stones. They plated the sod grass on the front section and planted a couple of fire mountain bushes (as requested) on the side to cover the condenser. He went the extra mile to find the rest of the stepping stones that were needed and made sure that the stones matched the few that I had that I wanted to reuse. Very professional and I highly recommend him!
