Independence Landscaping was contracted with VDOT for snow removal in the Lorfax neighborhood…read moreduring the January 2026 snowstorm. Snow removal was difficult due to the amount of snow and the icing that followed combined with extreme cold. Lorfax streets provided additional challenges. I had the pleasure of meeting Eswin Yanes Perez who was working as a plow operator. Eswin, despite having worked long days under difficult conditions, committed to clearing Wells Road. Eswin took pride in his craft and cleared the road all the while taking care not to block in driveways! A fantastic job by Eswin, and Independence Landscaping. As a realtor in the area, I have opportunity to recommend companies to clients and often find myself in a position to recommend landscapers and similar professionals. If the entire company is as good as Eswin, Independence is on the top of my list!

Couldn't be happier with the service and end product!…read more Steve was quick to respond to our inquiry regarding a draining issue in our backyard. He was professional and able to solve the problems we had with ease. He put sod in the backyard and seeded, fertilized, aerated, and sprayed the weeds in the front yard. He worked efficiently with a deadline that we had in mind. He has visited to mow the lawn and frequently checks in on its upkeep-going above and beyond what was expected. He provided us with advice for fixing a French drain that was not working properly. He walked us through the process of setting up our own sprinkler system. The sod in the back looks beautiful and thick and the front lawn has made a great comeback and is also thick and green. I would recommend Lawn Rescue 911 for anyone looking to fix or maintain their lawn.

I had a dying 100 year old 90 foot chestnut oak tree in my backyard which needed to be taken down…read more I had no idea who to go with so I asked around and got a ton of quotes. Absolute Tree was one of the quickest to respond and also with the fairest quote. They also came highly recommended from my neighbor, so I decided to go with them. The whole process was smooth. Ashley, the owner, was quick to respond and clear in his communication. Abraham, the team leader/climber ultimately responsible for the job was friendly, genuine, 100% professional, and went beyond the call of duty. The team was hyper aware of their surroundings (my backyard) - taking care to not damage anything. While not required, I chose to be home and observe the work. From start to finish the job was completed in a very professional and organized manner. Clearly not their first rodeo. If I ever needed more tree work done I'd go back to them in a heart beat. And, if anyone reading this needs tree work done, I highly recommend them. p.s. If you want to see the work they did check out the YouTube video titled "90 Foot Chestnut Oak Takedown Timelapse". That's them!

Polite, respectful, very proficient, good prices, cleaned up their mess, I will use them again!read more

We recently started with Ian's lawn service. Our lawn grows very fast, has a lot of places that…read moremust be weed-whacked (because the backyard slopes and has terraces), and requires a lot of edging for it to look nice. For what we felt was a reasonable price, Ian's Lawn Service came in, did an EXCELLENT job on the lawn (i.e. much better than I was able to do) and with the edging. Our first time coming home from work to see their work, we literally said "wow!" when we saw our lawn (not exaggerating). They also nicely packaged up all the clippings from the yard and placed them on the curb for pickup. I'm very happy with the service thus far and happy that I no longer have to spend an hour or two of my weekend mowing, edging, weed whacking, etc my back yard. (Which, even with the time/effort I spent, I would grade my results a "C" compared to Ian's Lawn Service's "A"). Communication was also painless and easy. I spoke with Ian via email and phone (when I had questions) and filled out an annual contract for the services that I wanted. Very professional and they are meeting/exceeding our expectations.

We are very happy we did. Ian provided us a quick, detailed estimate and promptly responded to all of our questions. The spring cleanup and mulch laying done by Ian's crew exceeded our expectations and our home looked much better after the thorough cleanup. We will be using Ian's Lawn Service again this fall and would certainly recommend him to our friends.

I chose J&J Landscape over several other companies that provide similar services because of the…read morepositive reviews that I read on Yelp. They have been taking care of my landscaping for about 2 years. Their price is competitive with other companies that I contacted, perhaps just a bit more expensive. The requirement that they have when they provide service is that they perform three 'functions'. I have a very small area of grass and so I certainly do not need for them to mow this small area. The functions that they provide are mulching in the Spring, pruning and clean up during the summer and really throughout the year, and blowing the leaves in the fall. I really like the guys who come out to my home to do the work. The central problem with this company is that the supervision is inadequate, the training is poor and the communication between teams who come to your home is non-existent. Whenever I call the company, they are friendly and note down my preferences. Sometimes this info is communicated to the men who come to my home. Often it is not. When I see that the guys have arrived, they listen and do everything that I would want. But if not, then it just doesn't work. In addition, when they do have someone who knows what he's doing, how to take care of plants, the person leaves the company. The guys just do not understand landscaping or plants. This is where the severe lack of training is so obvious. It may be that my needs are different than many of their other customers, but the requests don't seem to be that complex. I suggest considering another company.

We walked through what we wanted, and Cara provided us with a sketch of her ideas and thoughts on paver types, moving a water drain, and other items. We approved the plans with a minor modification, and they got right to work. The workers came over early each day to work, and were great. They were also very considerate of our neighbors. Some of the work generated a ton of dust, and our neighbor voiced concerns about it flying into her yard. They made adjustments to minimize the dust. Our neighbor even commented to us how great they were about it. About 2 weeks later, we have an amazing backyard. We've got the furniture back there, along with plants in the stone-walled garden. it looks fantastic, and we could not be happier. The staff were courteous and professional. This company is definitely recommended!!
