Jb Landscaping Fence And Masonry Services Inc, working out of Waltham, is who people call when a stump won't come out on its own — on Thumbtack, the same story repeats across 56 ratings: stumps ground fast, yards left clean, and Jorge Botoe personally on the job. Three reviews from the past six months back that up directly. In March 2026, a homeowner said Jorge and his partner ground three tree stumps 'focused, working neatly and safely.' In August 2026, another reviewer said the crew gave 'the best quote we got' and left the site immaculate after cleanup. Earlier reviews tell the same story: in a November 2025 review, a customer said the team ground three large stumps quickly and left no trace of them, and in an August 2025 review, a homeowner described reaching out to Jorge after other contractors left huge mounds of grindings behind — he was in touch immediately, showed up when he said he would, and finished the job as promised. Thumbtack lists the company's services as lawn mowing and lawn care, tree stump grinding and removal, tree trimming and planting, fence and gate installation and repairs, and land clearing. The Thumbtack rating is a 5.0 from 56 reviews — 98% five-star, with a small remainder of 3-star ratings not explained in the reviews shown — and the company has held Thumbtack's Top Pro status in both 2024 and 2025. For stump grinding, tree removal, or general lawn work around Waltham, these reviews describe a crew that communicates fast and finishes what it starts; there's no written account here of the fence work the company also lists, so it's worth asking to see photos of a past fence job before booking one.

If I could give a sixth star, I would. They were responsive, efficient and the best quote we got. These are the guys to hire - don’t wait, don’t hesitate. They also cleaned up after and it was immaculate.
Jorge did a great job, high quality landscaping work, fast and reasonably priced. I would certainly hire him again and recommend to others.
Jorge and his partner did an excellent job, grinding 3 tree stumps on my property. They were focused, working neatly and safely. I will not hesitate to have them do additional landscaping projects.
The team at JB Landscaping did a great job grinding 3 large stumps in our front yard. Very responsive and did the work quickly and left no sign of the stumps. Highly recommended!
I had five large trees removed from my property with the stumps ground, but my tree guys couldn't take away the huge mounds of grounds that were left. I reached out to Jorge, and he was in touch immediately! He came over shortly after contacting me to estimate the job (fairly priced), and came *exactly* when he said he would. He is a hard worker who clearly takes pride in his work, and the job was done as promised. He was in contact with photos of the project since I was at work, and billed me for amount we had agreed upon. I was so heartened to have such a great experience from beginning to end since that's not always what happens with other contractors. I would hire Jorge again in a heartbeat the next time I have a project for him.
