Jack and his crew did a great job for us and they were quick to respond. We needed an apricot tree cut down that was sadly dying. They did it expertly without damaging any nearby plants or hardscape and taking care around new ground cover we had just planted. Everything was hauled away and cleaned up too. The guys also skillfully pruned an adjacent magnolia tree. read more

Great experience with Killelea Landscape! Jack is extremely attentive and communicative and we felt so taken care of right from the first call. The crew is amazing and extremely nice and professional. Our neighbors even agreed! Only have nice things to say about Killelea Landscape! We are very happy with our new front yard and hope to continue working with them on future projects! read more

Jack is unprofessional and disorganized. Service was difficult to coordinate, and on the second service they came over two hours late. I asked them to use their electric leaf blower inside the garage, Jack forgot, and had his worker come back with a gas powered blower that he used inside my garage. Gas blowers are not permitted, and he blew dust all over my car and garage. He is difficult to manage and doesn't do an adequate job as an owner. There was also a glass outdoor light that was broke and shattered glass was left behind. His workers are careless and not worth the cost to manage. I would not recommend. read more

Jack and Mark are a very good negotiator and won't upsell anything that you don't need. They value and respect the customers feedback and will work with your budget. I had my tree trimmed a few months ago and it was done right just like Mark had explained to me. read more

If I could give no stars I would. I have King and Queen palms they trimmed about 3 months ago. They were trimmed with chain saws that left them looking hacked up. Also a vintage St. Francis statue was broken, as palm fronds fell they damaged several plants below and the cover on my fireplace was dented. They said they didn't do it. Lie. I had to hire another company to come and do a cleanup and fix problems. A palm on the front yard was trimmed back so far the top snapped off in the last storm, a 25 year old Queen palm that will die and have to be removed. Used them on a recommendation from a friend. I will never sway from my previous tree company! read more

We were looking to improve our backyard landscape and make the atmosphere more fun and appealing. We decided to go with Jack and his company Killelea Landscape. He had some great ideas to go along with what we wanted and the vibe of the backyard. He came in and transplanted plants, replaced the soil with a heathy mix, re-tooled our sprinkler system to match the incoming plants, installed a diamond trellis for the star jasmine on the wall and covered it all with great looking rocks. Jack is hard working, has great teams and is growing every aspect of his business. They finished our project fairly quickly which was awesome. He's creative and only wants to make you happy. He stands by his work and even after the project is done, checks in and helps you set up a watering plan to help the plants thrive. I'd highly recommend using Jack's company for small to large projects. read more

Last Fall of 2022, we decided to re-do our entire yard - front and back. Many of our shrubs were overgrown. Jack came out and walked the yard and had many great ideas on shrubs to remove, shrubs to keep, and shrubs to add. His guys are so conscientious and hard working. Some of the root systems were tough to fully remove, but they did a superb job. We replaced all planters with drip irrigation, replaced our old irrigation controller, replaced all sod, cleared or replaced yard drains, and added hundreds of shrubs and plants. Not one plant has died so far. We topped off Jack's great landscaping with LED lighting and it truly looks like a resort. Cars even stop to admire the "look". Jack is very knowledgeable, friendly and so easy to work with. Prices are very fair and his workers are a pleasure to have around. Jack loves what he does and you will too! Ken S. read more

First off, Jack is a stand-up guy. I can't recommend Killelea Landscape enough. We selected Killelea Landscape based on the reviews we read and we do not regret it. We had a majority of our backyard redone. There was no upselling and Jack will work with you to stay within your budget. He has a large crew with specific laborers specializing in demolition, construction, and landscaping. Everyone is very friendly and hard-working. We had some very lofty ideas initially. We had a backyard designer come out to give us a consult for $100 and see what we could actually do. Once we knew we could and couldn't do, we had Jack come out and work with us based on what we wanted and he had some great ideas too. We could tell he had a lot of experience as his dad was the original owner of the business for more than 30 years. We didn't even need to get the 3D design saving us $1,400. Jack really knows his stuff and we were able to do the vast majority of what we originally wanted, which included new concrete with drains, artificial grass, 50 different plants, which we let Jack select based on his knowledge of what works in areas with high sun exposure and areas with very little sun exposure. We also included Star Jasmin that is set up to grow along the long wall, 5 cypress trees to go along with our other cypress trees, a drip irrigation system, lighting along the planters around the perimeter of our yard (21 lights), and a large, custom aluma-wood patio cover with stone pillars, recessed lights, and a ceiling fan. Once we solidified our plan, we had a bid in less than a week. As with any major home project, issues do arise. Every bump in the road was resolved with a great solution at reasonable cost or no cost at all. They also repaired any damage (minor) that they caused to anything pre-existing. The work the Killelea crew puts in is amazing and well worth the bid we received. So much more goes into the project than one would realize based on what's listed in the bid. Things took longer than originally planned, mostly because of the permit process for our patio cover, but the results are spectacular and we are very happy! read more

Had four large trees removed this morning. They showed up on time and got the job done efficiently. They even helped me out and pulled some other plants out for free. Thank you to Jack, Ben, Victor, Angel, and Juan. read more

I was hesitant to contact this company/Jack to work on my backyard, but I do not regret anything after reaching out to him. Not only was he hard working and quick, he is very creative and gave me great ideas to decide on how I wanted my backyard to look like after. Another aspect I liked about Jack was he was ON TIME! So if you're looking for a hard worker with a creative mind and punctual, this is your company! read more

Jack is EXCELLENT. Ripped out our entire yard and seeded for a new lawn. Was a straight shooter with no nonsense (we all have had many home services companies with A LOT of upselling, no follow through, no expertise) - Jack is the opposite. Will guide you to the right decision with no BS. Very appreciated. read more

Perhaps if they do the work they are good. But when they promise a plan and an estimate and never get back to you, it's not so good. Ghosting is never a good business practice. And Jack clearly has me confused with someone else in his response below. But no worries. I'm moving on. read more

LOVE JACK, the owner of JK Landscape!! Recently bought a mobile home in Huntington Beach that needed a landscape facelift. Didn't have a clue what to do. Jack was able to look at our property and create a design that worked beautifully in our space. He turned a very boring space into an English garden sanctuary for one section and created a lush tropical theme for another. Jack has vision, he's reliable, honest, true to his word, hard-working, and just a pleasure to know. He and his crew were great and did a fantastic job! Highly recommend JK Landscape for your landscaping needs. read more

We had such a great experience with J.K.landscaping. Jack, the owner, was faced with many challenges since my husband and I live in an association. He calmly handle all of them with a great attitude. He is friendly, responsible, and efficient. He had great ideas for our side yard which turned out absolutely beautiful. In the front of our yard he laid artificial grass which had a seam initially and we did not care for. He kindly redid the artificial grass because he said he wanted us to be happy. In the end it turned out amazing. Jack is very easy-going and easy to work with. My husband and I highly recommend Jack and will use him again in the future. read more

There's a lot of these "backyard remodeling" companies out now. We had a couple of them come out and have outlandish visions for our backyard and neither of them were even close to our vision nor our budget. Jack worked with our ideas and also knew exactly what would work and what wouldn't. He communicated with us throughout the entire process with zero surprise charges and finished the project in an extremely timely manner. Would recommend jack to anyone and will be in contact with him again as soon as we are ready to tackle our front yard. read more

Had a great experience with this company. Had 2 sprinkler zones not working in our front yard. I can change out pop ups and sprinkler risers myself and checked the valves manually and determined the problem, but replacing valve units is not within my DIY ability. Used the Yelp app to get quotes and JK was the only one who responded with a very reasonable quote after I sent a pic of the valve box. Jack came by 2 days later and spent several hours on it due to a 35-year old valve box that proved difficult to deal with. I found a leak the next morning and Jack came within just a few hours. After extensive careful shoveling, turned out to be a main pipe leak at the very bottom - nothing to do with his work the day before - but Jack spent the afternoon fixing it, having to completely tear out the whole valve box assembly that he had replaced and then replace the PVC piping assembly beneath it and reassemble the whole thing. Absolutely great work, great attitude and great price. From my experience you won't find a more dedicated, personable or reasonably priced sprinkler/landscape person. Thanks, Jack! read more

These guys "hit it out of the park." A redo of our front courtyard was completed in just over five days and looks fabulous. Brian's great ideas and planning and Alex's hard work and great team kept the project moving and cleaned up nicely each day. These guys will exceed your expectations and your landscape will never look better. Thank You Killelea Landscape. read more

UPDATE: We found out that the guy who stole the dog is not their employee. They seem to do great work-and we owe them apology.
