JMF Landscaping, Garden Center & Nursery

JMF Landscaping, Garden Center & Nursery has been working the South Shore since 1998 — Justin Ferrante started out mowing lawns around Weymouth and turned it into a full-time operation in 2014. The business now runs two sides at once: a landscaping crew that handles everything from spring cleanups to full hardscape builds, and a Holbrook garden center where locals buy plants, mulch, and, every December, Christmas trees. The design-and-build side is where the specifics run deepest. One 2025 review describes an excavated backyard rebuilt with blue stone, river stone, boulders and mulch to a custom design; another, from 2022, had a pool closed and replaced with a Zen garden that the customer said went "beyond my expectations." A pool area untouched for roughly 15 years got its overgrown shrubs pulled and color reintroduced in three days, per a 2023 account. Smaller jobs get the same attention — a 2024 review describes Justin advising on arborvitae for privacy after a fence came down, then checking back in when a few of the new trees didn't take. The garden center pulls its own loyal following: customers describe driving out of their way for the plant selection and coming back for a Christmas tree "every year" rather than trying anywhere else — repeat business shows up on the retail and landscaping sides alike. Not every interaction has gone smoothly. A reviewer writing on 2026-05-26 says a first-time call for a landscaping quote ended with a two-hour wait and Justin never showing up, describing it as a sign that "small customers are forgotten." That is the one real complaint among the recent reviews; in a 2023 review, a customer flagged the pricing as being on the higher end even while praising the service. For a designed hardscape project, a seasonal cleanup, or a nursery run for plants and mulch, JMF's long South Shore history and its repeat customers carry weight — just pin down a firm appointment time for a new-customer estimate given the recent no-show account.
