Jose has been a delight to do business with. Him and his employees have been maintaining our yard wonderfully since January of this year. At the very beginning of the year we had our sewer line replaced, which meant a big huge chunk of our front yard had been completely dug up and ruined whatever grass that was left. He offered a great deal to go ahead and even out the whole front yard, providing fresh mineral-rich soil and beautiful green layers of grass. He grooms our bushes well and even made our lemon tree look cute again, like it belonged in a French garden somewhere. It's always a pleasure to see his positive attitude and admirable work ethic, knowledge of land grooming and 'scaping in full effect. He mentioned to us, he is a great go-to guy if we are ever considering selling the house. He does great landscape designs similar to staging to up-sell the value of the house and reel house buyers in quickly. All around great attitude, competitive prices and wonderful job on our yard. Jose has quickly brought our front yard from one of the shabbiest yards to one of the chicest on the block! read more

This review is to express our total satisfaction with Mr. Jose Soto. He not only gave us a very reasonable price (the lowest out of three quotes), was responsive even when we asked if the price were negotiable, and behaved with professionalism and courtesy throughout, but also did a very neat job on the old pine tree we asked him to remove. The tree itself had several branches that potentially threatened the roof, and he carefully trimmed and thinned them, including the removal of two very large limbs. The job took him two sessions and we were so happy with his work that we gave him the original quote. Strongly recommend that anyone who needs a tree trimmed or cut use JMS in the future. read more

Jose is great to work with. He is honest, trustworthy and his prices are very fair. He is a great communicator and aims to please. I have used him on several occasions and he has been great. I highly recommend him for lawn, tree and property maintenance. read more

I am so pleased to be the first to review Jose Soto's JMS Landscaping Maintenance & Tree Service. I call Jose the guy that made our garden dreams come true - he saved our bacon the very first time we met! We'd made a costly investment with another landscaper and had $1000 worth of plants delivered to our house. The other landscaper backed out on putting them in the ground, and we thought we'd lose them to the heat for sure. A realtor we knew gave Jose her highest recommendation and told us to call, saying he'd saved many a homeowner before. Fortunately Jose and Lupe were able to make some time that very day, showed up and did a fantastic job finishing our project in less time and much less expensively than the other contractor, with a minimum of hassle. I hired him on the spot for our monthly maintenance and it's been a great decision. Jose is super comfortable to talk to, knows about every kind of plant and tree, is very easy to work with, and spends time with you to understand what your goal for your property is. Then he goes out and without any hassle, fulfills everything you ask him to do and more. As Jose is a licensed tree trimmer, we asked him to trim and shape our back hedge that had grown wildly out of control. He came in under spec, and he and Lupe made the hedge a thing of beauty. They worked on it for hours, caught and disposed of all the branches as part of the service and wore cheerful smiles throughout. You can tell they really love what they do, and with fifteen years in the business, actually know what they're talking about. I can't recommend Jose Soto and JMS highly enough. If you have a problem garden, a sudden emergency as I did or just need regular maintenance, call JMS today, you'll be glad you did! read more

I am happy to yelp about JMS! Jose Soto has been our gardener for almost 10 years, ever since we moved into this house. He is really easy to work with, cheerful and very reliable and honest. I can highly recommend his services. He helped transform our garden from 'blah' to beautiful and has a very good sense of design. Also, they are very good with dogs. If I can figure out how to attach some pictures to show his work I will. read more

Jose and his crew are extremely professional, efficient, caring and reasonable. We needed an area at our house landscaped a week before a party at our house. I sent Jose a picture of what I imagined I would like our garden to look like. Two days later they came with the most perfect plants! At Jose's suggestion they put in a rock wall as well and the area looks better than I could have ever imagined. We were so pleased we had them come back and do some tree work on our property. You can't go wrong with this company. read more

Jose and his team did a fantastic job... I needed some work done on short notice and they stepped up to the plate and far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend! read more

Jose and team have been taking care of my yard maintenance, but I recently asked them to take on a big job thinning out and trimming two very large redwoods in my backyard that had become overgrown. They had comparable pricing to some of the bigger companies, but since they've done a great job on my yard maintenance, I decided to move forward with Jose. They did a professional job protecting the landscaping/hardscaping and understood the importance of maintaining good relationship with the neighbors. They removed the criss-cross growth between the closely spaced trees, lifted the canopy away from the roof, and thinned out branches from top to bottom. It looks great, and I'm happy that I went forward with JMS. read more

I am a repeat customer. Jose appeared at the appointed time, gave me an estimate to trim a very tall tree. The estimate was very close to what I paid him 3 years ago for the same job. His team showed up a couple of days later on time and before they started Jose showed up to make sure that we were all in agreement on what needed to be done. Jorge, the head of the team listened to my concerns about respecting my neighbor's properties and he personally went next door to ask for permission to enter my neighbor's yard to clean up. The workers did their job efficiently and carefully and cleaned up everywhere when they were through, including blowing the sawdust off my neighbor's car and cleaning his driveway, my driveway and walkway as well as the street and my back yard and my neighbor's back yard. He and his men helped me move the patio furniture back into place before they left. I called the payment into their office as soon as they were done and Maria in the office took care of everything - I had an electronic receipt within 5 minutes. Very professional outfit, highly recommended. Thank you Jose. read more

I highly recommend JMS! Jose and his team have been doing our weekly landscaping for 3 years now, and they do a great job. Much, much better than our previous gardener. We have also used JMS for larger projects, such as tree trimming and removal, landscape lighting, and a renovation of our sprinklers, and we were very happy with all the results. The prices are competitive, and Jose is great to work with, very professional, and very knowledgeable. read more

We called Jose after a tree fell in our driveway. His team was there within an hour and cleared the tree right away. They did a fantastic job, and even swept up all the fallen leaves and little branches. We would recommend Jose any day! read more

From the moment I first met with Jose Soto a year ago when we moved to our home on an acre of land, I knew I wanted to work with him. He has the upmost integrity, he aims to please and he is a hard worker. I feel that we work well as a team as we update grounds that need a lot of TLC. I endorse Jose whole heartedly. He is honest and fair with his pricing and cares about his work. He and his crew are wonderful. read more

I found out about Jose from Yelp five years ago and hired him to prune my Lemon Tree. Well, that tree is so abundant with lemons since Jose worked on it !!! Jose has been my go-to landscape guy ever since! Friendly, prompt, reasonably-priced and always cleans up after himself!! I highly recommend Jose for your landscaping needs! read more

I have used JMS Landscaping to trim the grass on my lot a couple of times and I have to say that they are one of the most professional companies I have worked with. They are not only very efficiency went about how they get the job done they are also extremely cost competitive. I would recommend JMS to anyone without any reservations. read more

Jose Soto and team have delivered another excellent job. They used to do our garden maintenance for 5+ years at our previous house, to much satisfaction, so we didn't hesitate to work with them on projects for our new house. They did tree and garden maintenance, put in a nice piece of artificial sod, and build several hardwood stair structures. I appreciate Jose's dedication, honesty and hard work, and highly recommend them. read more

JMS Landscaping is fantastic! We have used Jose's services on multiple occasions for tree trimming. We have many mature trees that need periodic maintenance that we can not do ourselves. Every time we call Jose, he has provided exceptional work, in a timely manner, at a competitive price. What we particularly like about his work is his attention to the health of the trees...he is careful to "do it right" so that the trees thrive. He has worked with our neighbors as well on trees that "share" a fence line. Everybody is always happy! I highly recommend Jose and JMS Landscaping. read more

Jose returned my call and was prompt to look at our yard. We had tall trees that needed trimming and overall clean-up. He walked the job, named the trees and plants, told us what he would do and gave an estimate right away. Jose and his team paid attention to detail and transformed our front and back yards! He is professional, knowledgeable and reliable. We plan to call him again for all our future tree and maintenance needs. read more

Jose was recommended to me during the sale of my home. I wish I had been introduced while I still owned it and lived there so I could enjoy it more. The work he did made me fall in love with my back yard. He completely transformed the back yard with very straightforward thinking and planning, undoing years of patchwork and other dodgy work. He did a great job clearing out the old shrubs and pavers, and laid in fabulous grass, leaving the yard with clean lines, functional, and beautiful. I would recommend Jose to anyone looking to overhaul their yard or to simply give it a boost. His maintenance service proved invaluable during the sale of my home. The yard improvement made a huge impact on the home and it sold during pre-market activities and I never had to list it. Thank you, Jose! read more

We had a big branch fall around 8:30pm. Called José, expecting he would get back to us sometime the next day. Instead, he responded in 5 minutes, arranged to come early the next morning, took care of the cutting and clean up really fast, charged a reasonable price, and did it all in the most friendly, knowledgable and courteous style. Will definitely use his service again--reliable and really good at what he and crew do. read more
