If you have a brain in your head, you will NEVER contract with Jon Barker of Barker Landscape to do…read moreanything to your property. We contracted with this clown to provide a 5,000 gallon precast concrete vault to store irrigation water for the sprinkler system he was supposed to install in the front, side and back yards of our home, and after grading, provide decorative rock and paver walkways. He was supposed to start July 12, but didn't show until the 14th. He scraped about an 8 square foot area in the back and created a huge mound of rock and dirt in our front yard, then left leaving all of this and the skid steer he had rented from Big Sky rentals with it. After 10 days of no response to texts, emails or phone calls, I called Big Sky to determine if they had heard from him. They had not and informed me that he owed them a large amount of money, that they had been trying to find him and their skid steer. I told them where it was and they arrived within 30 minutes to pick it up. They did state they have to hound him for payment. I accused him of fraud via both text and email and magically he called and provided a bunch of lame excuses as to why nothing had been done on our job. He said he would be on site with our job every day from that day forward. Needless to say he did not. He also admitted he could not provide the vault he had promised. During this time we had checked with both local precast companies and only one had even heard of Jon Barker and that he was asking about a 2,000 gallon septic tank when they advised him they can't make a 5,000 gallon vault. He subcontracted the sprinklers and grading to someone else. During the install of the sprinklers I asked him why they were not grading 2" down next to the house to place decorative rock. I was then informed he was going to use wells and raise the level of the ground. For those of you who don't know what wells are, trust me, you don't want them, they are nasty. I told him that was never mentioned in his estimate/contract and that he would need to do the grading. He advised me he would have to charge me more. I informed him that would not happen. He contacted the sprinkler subcontractor and they abandoned the job half done. This was on August 3rd. The whole job was supposed to be completed August 9th. As of today, 8/24/2021, our attorney is trying to locate Mr. Barker in order to serve him with a demand letter, which (no doubt) will turn into court proceedings. We are also living with trenches all over the yards that we have to be careful of. As we are both in our 70's, that could be very dangerous. There are sprinkler hoses sticking up out of the trenches, it's just a mess. So please, if you actually want the work done by someone who actually has a contractor's license that did not expire in November 2020, find someone, anyone else to do the work. This guy will steal your money, lie to your face and not do the job he is contracted to do. Good luck!

We contacted Armando for a quote and he worked around our schedule to come out to see our property, he knew our situation and provided us a quote that was within our remaining budget! Once they started the work, I could tell they knew what they were doing (unlike the company we previously hired). Armando asked questions and made sure we were happy with everything beforehand. The finished result came out AMAZING and we couldn't be happier that we now have good looking work in our backyard. I wish we would've hired them first instead of wasting our time and money, so don't make the same mistake we did. If we ever need any more concrete work in the future, we know who to call! Thanks JAG Concrete!

We have tried countless times to get a hold of him leaving voice mails and text messages. It's so very sad you can't trust people anymore and we are extremely disappointed that he ripped us off!
