WOW....need I say more

Few companies compare to the outstanding customer service that Eric and his team showed me. One statement sums it up " Top Notch". I had an issue where a small bathroom window had melted a small spot in my gorgeous turf. Needless to say I was devastated but Eric and his team came out and fixed it as well as remedied to window issue so I will never have that issue again. I am beyond excited and am one happy client. JG excels in Customer Service!!!!! They are the best

I had to re-sod my yard twice in two years but it just wouldn't take. Finally decided to get artificial turf and received 8 bids. Craig was the last to give me an estimate and it was the lowest one with a contractor's license. We signed the contract last Friday and Eric and his crew came Tuesday and got it done! I'm so pleased - my yard finally looks great. I've already scheduled them for maintenance.

This is the retaining wall that was built in just a few days!

Punctual and respectful workers with integrity. I'm really pleased with my 61FT retaining wall that was constructed within a matter of days! This is an excellent start to my backyard and I would definitely recommend JG! I will be contacting this company again when I figure out the design of where my turf will go. I've gained about 180 SQFTin my backyard! Thanks so much!

Such a happy pup now!

I just completed another terrific project with JG Lawns at my Grandma's house. Her yard had been torn up from sewer line repairs and looked horrendous. I contacted Craig at JG, and he came out promptly and we designed a plan for the yard. Grandma happily picked out the turf herself but was a little bit sticker shocked with the estimate price. She's loved my yard since I got it done, and I told her JG uses quality materials and has terrific install. But she still was concerned over the price, so I contacted another quality competitor my friend had used for her yard get another quote. That quote came in over $5000 higher for nearly the same scope of work and same quality turf! Grandma and I happily decided to go with JG. The project included the demo of 3 large planters with huge dead bushes, using the leftover brick to tidy up the front planter boxes, as well as hauling away a lot of dirt and rocks that had been left over from the excavation. I also opted to get the backyard done as well as it needed to be spruced up. JG does things right, they dig 4 inches below, use decomposed granite, and finalize with zeolite to keep the yard fresh from pet waste smells. Jesus was our project lead and my grandma was so impressed with him and his team. At over 90 years old, she seen a lot in her life, but she said that Jesus and his team were the hardest workers that she has ever seen. The project took three days and Jesus came back that Saturday to finalize some brickwork, and he even went above and beyond fixing a broken irrigation line that was not in the scope and was in a completely different planter outside of the project! Everyone on the JG team was courteous and respectful. We are thrilled with the results! It adds a lot of value to the house and we have the best looking lawn on the block.

New patio and turf

I cannot say enough good things about JG. They created a beautiful backyard for us in a timely fashion. If any hiccups arose, they handled them for us professionally and promptly. We will definitely be using JG for our future yard needs.

Detail work around existing boulders

This is the third project we've worked with JG Turf on, and we truly couldn't be happier with the quality of work, timeliness, awesome customer service, all-around hard work, and results. Wow. Absolutely top-notch work by Eric & Craig and their team. Our showstopper, low-maintenance yard is now a reality, thanks to them. They took so much care and attention to detail throughout the installation. We especially appreciate the undulations around the boulders and on the edges. An amazing group of guys. Highly recommend!

They did a wonderful job! Fast, clean and affordable! Highly recommend them! Second time using JG Lawns. They also installed pavers!

After
Tammie W.

I would highly recommend contacting JG Lawns for your landscaping needs. We received several different quotes to tear out, level, apply a weed barrier, turf, and lay down gravel in our front yard. JG was extremely responsive, reasonably priced, and completed the job in two full days. They were on time, clean, gave updates throughout the project, and were respectful. In the end, they not only gave us hours back in our weekend of not having to pull weeds, but a sense of pride by not having the gnarliest lawn on the block. Thanks JG and we'll be in touch for the backyard!

Finished job (ours is on the right side) rocks, turf and pavers.

Ask the Community - JG Lawns Turf

Would they deliver and install rocks for a 34'x8' planter? I'm looking to put bark rock, about 2 yards.

Probably! Depends on location and how heavy it is. Otherwise you can just order from the site and choose a delivery option. They also have discounts with certain landscaping sites so ask them about that

Do they fix the problems with existing turf? Specifically problems with gophers burrowing under and tree root growth?

Same question.

Do you repair/service drip sprinkler systems?

Sorry don’t offer irrigation work unless it’s in conjunction with a turf installation project.

How much to remove 5000 square feet of grass?

Send us your number and will have someone contact you.

Are you also serving Chula Vista area?

Yes we service Chula Vista

After finally admitting defeat in our battle with gophers, we decided it was time to replace the…read moresod in our backyard, add gopher wire underneath, and install artificial turf around our pool. We interviewed three companies and ultimately chose Villanuevas Landscape for two main reasons. First, the owner, Andres, personally came to our home to assess the scope of the project and address our questions about adding gopher wire under the sod to mitigate the gopher issue. Second, his pricing was very reasonable compared to the other estimates we received. The entire project was completed in just two days. Andres actively managed the project from start to finish, and his crew worked efficiently while paying close attention to detail. They were respectful of our property throughout the process and made sure the work area was clean at the end of each day. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Villanuevas Landscape to anyone looking for quality landscaping work. We'll definitely be using them again for future projects!

I cannot recommend Tom highly enough! We had our front and back yards completely redone several…read moreyears ago and the team who did the work were pretty sloppy. We had several lights that wouldn't work that had been driving us nuts. Tom came out, identified the issues, fixed lights in the front, dropped new wire in the back, and had everything working perfectly. It was such a good experience that we asked him to come back and install some uplights by our palm trees around our pool and fire pit. They look amazing and totally transform the yard! The ones around the fire pit required Tom to snake under a cement curb and our turf, and he did the work beautifully. It looks like the lights were there from the beginning, rather than an add-on later. We will use Tom for all of our lighting and irrigation needs in the future!

I fully recommend Tom to anyone contemplating installing new or repairing older lights for their yard. He's never disappointed.

TLDR version: The job ended up requiring 2x the amount of…read moremoney that I was quoted at and took 4x as long - Then they stopped returning my calls and emails without finishing the job! Detailed version: I had a conversation with them to come out and completely fix my sprinkler system as summer started in May. I have a large yard and about 50 sprinklers. I knew the system in my front yard needed particular help. The only time I could schedule was while I was at work. The worker ended up replacing some sprinkler heads, finding a line that had grown into a tree and stopped there. He told my wife we'd need to remove the tree to fix that line; the backyard sprinklers are all fine but there needs to be more work done to the front yard sprinklers. He charged me the quoted amount and left. I had to call to complain, as my system was not fixed. It seemed like he told me what I already knew and left! I got rescheduled for a second visit one month later. The same guy came out again and I told him we don't want to take the tree out and that he should be able to divert the line around the tree. That took most of his visit. He charged me more, but gave me a discount of 3 hours of labor. We rescheduled a third time for another month out so he could fix the rest of the lines because he had another job that he had to get to. His third time out he fixed most of the lines in the front yard but had to rewire a some of the lines that were not syncing to my irrigation system. The rewiring changed the input on the timer and some are still currently out of sync. When he was done, the worker said there were also still some small things that he had to fix in order to complete the job. We had to reschedule a fourth time - another month out - as he had to leave to get to another job. The worker told me that he would charge me during the next visit. His fourth time out was meant to be the last time he needed to come. I made it clear that I wanted to check every line with him before he left. He fixed the remaining lines that needed work in the front yard, then we checked each line on my irrigation system as I requested. As it turned out, several lines in my backyard were showing an error code and not working, despite him promising me that every line was working. He told me that he would have to schedule another visit as he had to get to another job. He charged me a discounted rate and then left. I tried to reach out to the company through email and texted the worker's personal phone number that he gave me - to no avail. I didn't receive a response to my emails or texts. I wanted this job to be done at the quoted amount at the beginning of summer... but instead I had to (and still do) manually water the areas that are not working. This takes away time from me being with my wife, my 7 month old baby (currently - 3 month old in May), and my four year old. It ended up costing double the initial quote, quadruple the amount of time, and the job is not finished. I would NEVER call this company again.
