> They did an amazing job on our back yard. 100% professional and reliable. Quickly responded to our redesign request. Their products were top notch! They took our plan backyard and made it into an oasis. Definitely would recommend them for any outdoor projects!

**★★★★★ — Brock Bolen, June 2020**

> J Squared did an amazing job on our back patio/fire pit and landscaping. We would recommends them to anyone. Thanks so much J Squared!

**★★★★★ — Bob Hothem, June 2020**

> Man these guys were on their game.  Showed up when they said they were going to, worked hard, and were neighborhood friendly.  True high class professionals.  Very happy with the work they did.  From my point of view the firm was the right choice for my work.  And would choose them again.

**★★★★★ — K H, June 2020**

> We worked with J Squared from planning to completion to have our barn landscaped.  They created a plan that we loved and worked with us to complete a project that really enlivens the barn and our yard.
>
> We had a couple questions about specific items, and they worked to get everything to our liking.  I certainly recommend you take a look at them for your landscape design, planning, and site work projects.

**★★★★★ — HU-460102895, May 2019**

> Installed a beautiful patio paver system, lighting, and landscaping off of our deck.  The entire team was professional, courteous, and thorough. Communication was great throughout and customer service was outstanding; we’ll be coming back to them for future projects. Highly recommend Jeremy and the team at J Squared.

**★★★★★ — Whitney Smith, May 2019**

> Great customer service with a smile! I came to J Squared with the question, "What can I do to sell this house?" Jeremy didn't try to sell me the moon, and he gave me the best advice!  I had a basic yard cleanup, edge and mulch done. Jeremy took a look at my backyard, and made the suggestion to replace my paver walkway with natural flagstone, and it has made the biggest difference! The beds look fantastic, and the edging is "crispy" (a new term I learned and love.) They are prompt and efficient. This is a group of honest, knowledgeable, and hard-working folks.  I highly recommend them for all of your landscaping wants, needs, and dreams!

**★★★★★ — Chris, May 2019**

> Jeremy was very easy to work with and modified our landscape plan until we were completely satisfied with the final design. He was always available to answer questions and returned calls promptly if we had to leave a message. We would highly recommend this company!

**Comment from J Squared Outdoor Living & Lighting:**

> Thank you so much for the review Chris! It was a pleasure working with you. Enjoy your new landscaping!

**★★★★★ — Ed Bulach, April 2019**

> Jeremy and his team were very professional.  The work was done timely and exceeded our expectations.  Our backyard is exactly what we have always dreamed of now!

**★★★★★ — Normajean Roselius, Nov. 2018**

> Jeremy did a landscape design for me that was absolutely incredible. I was looking for a unique garden design to house my shade garden collection and he really delivered. His crew was very friendly and did a great job. The end product was more amazing than I could have ever imagined. I highly recommend J Squared Outdoor.

**Comment from J Squared Outdoor Living & Lighting:**

> Thank you so much for the wonderful review Normajean. You were a pleasure to work with! We really enjoyed your project. Cant wait to see the plants fill in.

**★★★★★ — HU-756364439, Oct. 2018**

> Amy Casper has been a total delight to deal with from design to estimate to installation. She has great communication skills, from being a good listener to timely response and great follow up.

**Comment from J Squared Outdoor Living & Lighting:**

> Thank you for your review! Glad to hear Amy did such a nice job for you. She is a great designer and everyone seems to enjoy working with her.

**★★★★★ — Molly Cecil, Oct. 2018**

> These guys are professionals and did an excellent job on my patio. Very detailed throughout the planning and execution. Great work!

**Comment from J Squared Outdoor Living & Lighting:**

> Thank you so much for the review Molly! Your patio turned out awesome. We're very proud of it. Hope you guys enjoy it for years to come.

**★★★★★ — Richard and Wendy Harris, Oct. 2018**

> Be prepared…to be amazed!!! Once you see one of Jeremy’s fabulous designs for your space, you won’t be able to un-see it, and will be really excited to see it executed. The crewmembers of J-Squared are some of the most professional contractors we have ever had the pleasure to work with. From the planning phase to final clean up, we were continually impressed with Jeremy and the entire J-Squared staff. Ours was a huge project. To see the progress from demolition to final construction was phenomenal. Any issues along the way, which will happen with a project this large, were resolved quickly. When we had questions, they were answered. When we were on the fence as far as the shape of the roof on our structure, Jeremy was responsive and engaged. Even though we did go with his initial vision, he allowed us the time to explore our options to arrive at the best choice for our lifestyle, surrounding structures, and space. We could not be happier to recommend Jeremy and J-Squared to others for their hardscaping and landscaping needs!

**Comment from J Squared Outdoor Living & Lighting:**

> Wow! Thank you so much for that amazing review. You guys were so much fun to work with! We're really proud of you project. I can't wait to see the plants fill in and see how you guys use your new outdoor living space in the coming years!

## Community Q&A

**Q: Hi Jeremy, what is the cost range to do something like that?** *(in Photo Questions)*

wondering if you do work in Indianapolis area, estimate of cost and time to from start to finish. hope you can help

A: This project was in the $130,000 range including the pool, hardscapes, lighting and landscaping. 
It took about 5 weeks in total. We do not work in the Indianapolis area unfortunately. We would be more than happy to help you with the design portion though. You could use the design to solicit bids from local contractors.
