JMF Landscaping, Garden Center & Nursery

JMF Landscaping, Garden Center & Nursery runs out of 720 South Franklin Street in Holbrook, handling landscape design, lawn care, hedge trimming, planting, and spring and fall cleanups across the South Shore, alongside a garden center that delivers mulch, loam, and stone. The company says founder Justin Ferrante started out mowing lawns around Weymouth in 1998, left his other job to run it full-time in 2014 as the client list grew, and still owns and runs the business today. The reputation holds up past a single source: Google puts JMF at 4.8 stars across 111 ratings, and independent write-ups on Checkbook.org, GuildQuality, and BuildZoom echo the same praise going back to 2011, with 31 reviews on record between 2021 and 2026. Two things keep coming up from recent customers — attentiveness to the plants themselves and follow-through after the invoice is paid. An April reviewer said the crew explained what it was doing step by step and was pleased with how the mulching and new plantings turned out; a May customer said JMF noticed a tree it had installed the year before wasn't thriving and replaced it without being asked to pay again. Not every recent contact went that well. A different May reviewer, trying to book a first estimate, said Justin never showed up after a two-hour wait and felt smaller jobs get pushed aside — worth asking about directly if you're a new customer scheduling that first visit rather than returning for more work. For South Shore homeowners after routine upkeep — cleanups, mulching, hedge trimming, and planting guidance from a company that also stocks the material — JMF's decade-plus record backs that up. If it's your first call rather than a repeat job, it's worth confirming the estimate appointment closer to the date.
