Requested drainage rework and other landscaping. Ted and his team's expertise showed in how they proposed a cost-effective solution and implemented it in a timely manner. The team was transparent and explained everything well. The outcome looks very professional and has been working well so far.
Ted reviewed our water issue and I have to say it was a breathe of fresh air to have someone be honest and not rip you off. He was also very pleasant to speak to. Thank you.
Exceptional service from Ted and Crew of TJB Landscape- Very knowledgeable on what needed to be done at my home-I would highly recommend TJB for any/all Landsape projects you may have. I had many areas of dead grass that needed to be aerated and deep seeded in order to be ready for spring growth. Additionally ,I will sign up for the Ferilization Service they also offer. I felt TJB was the best in my area to take care of the problem I had, and felt comfortable in working wit them - I would rate the A+.
A couple years back, I had TJB do a complete landscaping job of my front yard. It included removing overgrown bushes, installing a retaining wall with drainage and a completely new front yard. Their quality of their work was great and dealing with Ted, Rob and his crew was a pleasure. As in any lawn, problems can arise such as disease, insects, etc. When I have encountered problems, I would contact Ted & Rob and they were more than willing to help diagnose the problem and give me the advice on how to rectify the problem. And this is years after completing the project. So, they are not a company that completes the job and you never hear from them again. Their service to backing up the work they do is great!

I spoke to the father about quoting a job at my new house. He spoke to me at length about everything I should consider and ultimately empowered me to do the work myself. Unbelievably knowledgeable, patient, and attentive to what my needs were.
