The deck, the planters, the raised flagstone patio, the retaining wall with a border garden.

JML has a fine-tuned process to deliver quality projects on time and on budget. As a project manager, I appreciate! We had very specific goals with our garden project: maximize the space as an outdoor room and create beautiful views from the windows. After we spoke with Joe about our goals, he spent almost an hour in the garden making drawings. And his first design was what we chose. Our project was a complete transformation of the space. Retaining wall had to be built, patio replaced, deck built. All in a tiny Glen Park garden. With 24 stairs up... The craftsmanship displayed by the team (Andy and Michael) was beyond measure. They paid attention to all the details, even things I hadn't thought of. Our garden became their garden in the way they worked. Sure, JML might be more expensive. The investment is worth it. The piece of mind is worth it. The result is worth it. My photos show the hardscaping as the garden is only 2 months old. Joe keeps checking in to see how the CA natives are doing, and with their monthly maintenance service, I know my garden will thrive.

Front yard - no irrigation required
Mike D.

Earlier this year we worked with Janet Moyer Landscaping on an extensive project that included our front and back yards and sides of our house. It was a pleasure working with Joe (head of design and installation) on the design of the project and everyone we interacted with during the project was extremely professional. I highly recommend working with them!

We had a mostly great experience with JML doing our medium-sized back yard remodel in Glen Park. We would recommend them to friends, and would use them again if we need to do more work. The pros: 1) Everyone we worked with from JML was kind, courteous, and went out of their way to make things work well. The consultations and back-and-forth on design and costing went well. They were very professional. The communication during both the design and installation phase was pretty consistent, with only a few cases of too-long turnaround time. Several reviews complain about the automatic billing happening too fast. This happened to us, and we simply asked that we receive an email several days before an invoice was charged. The JML team then gave us a heads up every time, and we had no problems with our bank. 2) We liked the design, and the team worked with us to make some changes to our liking. We also had a budget, and they definitely helped us stick to our budget. They broke down the estimated costs into "a la carte" options so we could add / take away as needed. The final result is quite nice, and very close to the original design. We love it. 3) Several issues popped up during the installation, and the JML team were flexible and responsive in working through them with us. They were particularly helpful with installing and maintaining a dog fence around some newly planted grass, to keep our obnoxious dog out while it could grow. They also helped address and take responsibility for some dead plants. The cons are all around communication: 4) There were several changes between the initial planning sessions / design, and what started happening during installation a few months later. For example, the original design called for re-using sod from our old yard, but instead they went with planting seed. These changes were not communicated... at all. They just happened, and we had to notice them, and raise the issues with JML. 5) We rarely knew when the team would be working on site or not (other than a general M-Th schedule, to which the team did not adhere). Ordinarily this wouldn't be a problem, but with our dog needing use of the back yard it was important to understand when she could roam free vs needing to be kept inside during work days. 6) Near the end of the project there were several issues still unresolved, and it took too much effort on my part to get them resolved. For example, the design called for re-aligning a stairway attached to our deck. The metal stair rails were badly scratched during construction, and the re-alignment left a large, discolored bare wood patch in the side of the deck (the rest is stained). When I raised these issues, the response was "well this wasn't in the original contract". I pushed back, and the team cheerfully fixed this, but the right course of action would have been for these (and a few other) items to be noticed by JML and fixed right the first time. The final verdict: All in all a mostly great experience, and we would recommend. As with all contractors, keeping on top of the project details and engaging in regular communication is important to ensure the final result that you want.

I've dreamt of my outdoor kitchen/yard for 30 years. JML and their crew exceeded my expectation. We have a small yard in the Westwood Park neighborhood in SF. I seriously love my yard!!!! We started our design process way before Covid hit (so thankful). Joe Coutour transformed my vague vision to an amazing space to cook and entertain. Social distancing outdoor entertainment has been taken to the next level especially with the restaurant heaters. It's been a rough 18 months but seeing my yard transform has brought our family and friends so much joy not to mention a few pounds. Thank you sooooo much! I appreciate everything JML has created for us.

We had a very positive experience with Janet Moyer Landscaping. We have a very small backyard that we never used. We wanted to do something to make it nice. We worked closely with Joe Couture, who did a great job listening to us, making a thoughtful design and then executing it. Joe was always nice, easy going and a great communicator. He worked really hard to make the hot tub, deck and stairs work and fit in a very small space, and the whole thing came out looking super charming and not cramped or crowded (we were afraid of the latter). With Joe's guidance, we also re-sized our a small deck and adding some planters and lights. The little yard is now a delight to spend time in and a central gathering spot for our family and our kids with their friends. It is so great to have it and has been such a positive addition. We highly recommend Janet Moyer Landscaping.

Our experience with Janet Moyer Landscaping was extraordinary: they designed and executed a beautiful backyard for us. At every turn they were communicative, creative, and, it being 2020, gritty in figuring out safe ways to proceed during the pandemic. The end results are spectacular. We would leap at the chance to work with them again and again.

How it started and how it ended

Backyard gardens in the city vary wildly, from steep grades to changing light due to ongoing construction projects around your neighborhood. When I decided to update my backyard, I wanted someone familiar with the area, cared about water conservation, native plants, upcycling old materials and could help with design and drip irrigation. It was a long process and not cheap, but the results have been worth the upheaval. Joe came up with a creative redesign that reflected my goals, and Clay did a tremendous job at the execution! We had to adjust here and there along the way but I trusted the process, and I couldn't be happier. I really enjoyed working with everyone! I plan on taking advantage of the maintenance they offer only for clients.

Excellent work on a driveway fence! A few things I really appreciated:…read more 1. Very efficient planning and communication 2. During the free consult Alejandro was clearly much more engaged in actually solving my problems. Example: the fence needed to be low enough to see over as I back out of my driveway, for safety reasons. Alejandro held a tape measure at various heights and various points as I backed out. It seemed obvious to him that this was the right thing to do, but no other contractor I met with did this. 3. Construction was done in a single day (7 hours). 4. Sometimes I work with contracting firms where an attentive sales person asks about your project, and then a separate team (plus an annoying game of telephone) comes to actually work on the project. Not with Maldonado! At least for now Alejandro is not only figuring out the design with you but actually building the fence 5. Alejandro made several AI renderings showing the different options, which were quite helpful. I'm surprised more people aren't doing this 6. Above all I got the sense that Alejandro cares deeply about doing great work. We would absolutely work with them again

We had a deck that I wanted the gates and the underneath closed off because my dogs kept going…read moreafter possums and raccoons. Of course, I called Maldonado Fence Co., and Alex said, "No problem, I'll be there next week." I told him exactly what I wanted, and as usual, he delivered. Would I recommend Maldonado Fence Co.? Of course I would -- and I already have to many people. Alex is a true craftsman, and his work shows it. He is reliable, extremely professional, and always gets the job done.

His team started work in the next week and the whole job was professionally done after four days. He knows every aspect of residential construction and can come up with creative solutions for whatever issues you're having. He handled three issues on our property--a back-up sump pump, a downspout that was bringing water back into our house instead of to the street, and some washout from underneath one corner of our foundation from years of rainwater running where it shouldn't. He also repaired a mudsill that was damage by rats. My family is very pleased with Edwin's work and are feeling confident that future rains won't lead to more interior damage in the future.

When I decided to fix the fence and gates on the other side of my house I called Edwin. I also asked him to build a new gate on my driveway. They all look great! When I realized he also does waterproofing work, I showed him my living room window that was leaking. He was able to fix it without replacing the window and now there's no more leaking. I'm happy about that since it sounds like it will be a rainy winter. Thank you to Edwin and his crew, Antonio and Alfredo. They were very pleasant to work with and I would happily hire them again.
