Quality work. Reliable crews. Good communicators. > And Houzz wants 20 words so I'll say it again: > Very professional. Quality work. Reliable crews. Good communicators. **★★★★★ — Tracey Gould, Nov. 2018** > I highly recommend Jeffreys Creek. John gave us a prompt response. We live by the ocean and our property is mostly rock in the backyard. The yard was transformed from ordinary to spectacular. They installed a fire pit as well as reconstructed our patio. We are so pleased with the results of their design and plantings. All the workers were courteous and hard working. Great team effort. **★★★★★ — Bud Ris, Nov. 2018** > Jeffrey's Creek is doing a complicated job for us on a very steeply sloped site in Gloucester. Their stone work is excellent, demonstrating a good understanding of the aesthetic quality we sought, blending in nicely with the existing landscape and the historic values of our village. All of the crew members aim for high quality and are very easy to work with. The construction process has been very well-organized, minimizing disruption to our property and access to and from the house. We are very excited to have a new patio, surrounded by beautiful stone walls, to use next summer! **★★★★★ — Frank Roberts, May 2018** > I used Jeffreys Creek for 3 different projects. A beautiful patio, front walkway and grading and replanting my lawn. Very satisfied with the work and the friendly competent crew. I would hire them again for any future projects. **★★★★★ — William Hobbie, April 2018** > Work was well-planned, completed on schedule, and has been enjoyed by us since then. We have used them on three separate projects around our home - don't remember the years. **★★★★★ — Bill Van Faasen, April 2018** > I have worked with John Filias on projects large and small over a 25 year period and have never been disappointed. He is a solid professional, trustworthy, dependable, and customer oriented. I highly recommend John and Jeffrey's Creek. **★★★★★ — likestofloat, April 2018** > Jeffrey’s Creek designed and installed landscaping for our newly built home. The way they shaped our property was not only skill ful byt artful. John listened to our ideas and worked with us to realize our vision while employing his expertise with plant choices and placement. In addition they did a beautiful job with the hard scape (bluestone walkways and patio, stone walls, etc) and installed irrigation to ensure the new plants would thrive. We continue to use Jeffrey’s Creek for full service landscape maintenance to protect the investment we made in the value of our property. Throughout our working relationship Jeffrey’s Creek has remained professional and responsive. We will continue to use Jeffrey’s Creek going forward as we add landscape lighting and continue improving our property. **★★★★★ — karen crawley, April 2018** > Jeffreys Creek has done a couple of projects for us - last year a beautiful patio and they are currently finishing up a stepping stone path with perennials down the narrow left side yard of our house. John's crew are professional, knowledgable, very pleasant to work with and deliver a high quality product. **★★★★★ — Bill Mueffelmann, April 2018** > About 20 years ago Jeffreys Creek designed our landscaping around our new addition.. The landscaping was beautiful then and still is. From time to time we have Jeffreys Creek take care of a few landscaping projects for us. Last year they sodded the lawn which came out beautiful. Their staff is well trained and pleasant to have around. **★★★★★ — Covenant LLC, April 2018** > We have worked with Jeffreys Creek on numerous projects. The scope has varied from site work on small addition ($10k'ish) projects to complete site, landscape and hardscape ($400k'ish). John has always been a great communicator and manager in all phases of the project - initial meetings, quoting, requoting, cost engineering, planning, execution, invoicing, and follow up. He is knowledgable and professional. The quality of the work is always top notch. All of the guys that work for Jeffreys Creek are professional and courteous....always happy to answer questions and discuss options for the client. We have used John for several years and will continue to go to him as our first choice for excavation, site services and landscaping. **★★★★★ — Peter Blewett, April 2018** > On the North Shore of Boston, Jeffrey’s Creek Land Contractors is clearly a standout company with considerable experience, knowledge and commitment to quality. They understand that durable, long lasting design embodies the elements of construction, performance and appearance. Our neighborhood has witnessed the results of appearance first by inexperienced contractors whose work in the long term has failed to perform to weathering and whose poor construction techniques have lead to dis-satisfied homeowners. The high quality work of Jeffrey's Creek should be seen as an investment in one's property that will be long-lasting, an asset to the neighborhood and satisfying to the home owner. > I have worked with them on several projects since 2008 and highly recommend them to others where quality is the first consideration. **★★★★★ — Rue Sherwood Landscape Design, LLC, March 2017** > As a landscape designer, it is a pleasure to work with Jeffreys Creek. The machine operators, masons & planting crews are all skilled, efficient and easy to work with, and the workmanship is high quality. Hiring Jeffreys Creek Land Contractors will guarantee a well constructed landscape project. ## Selected projects - [Beach Entry Pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beach-entry-pool-pj-vj~4705813) - Location: Boxford, MA - Photos: 17 - Description: This project was a collaboration between several contractors. - [Granite Block Walls](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/granite-block-walls-pj-vj~5133227) - Location: Essex, MA - Photos: 6 - [Brick Driveway and Retaining Walls](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brick-driveway-and-retaining-walls-pj-vj~4870480) - Location: Gloucester, MA - Photos: 8 - [Oceanside Patio and Firepit](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oceanside-patio-and-firepit-pj-vj~5526930) - Location: Gloucester, MA - Photos: 13 - [Landscaping and Stonework](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/landscaping-and-stonework-pj-vj~4906488) - Location: Ipswich, MA - Photos: 16 - Description: This project was a collaboration between several contractors - [Log Cabin Front Yard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/log-cabin-front-yard-pj-vj~5333469) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Emmanuel Episcopal Church](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/emmanuel-episcopal-church-pj-vj~5129770) - Location: Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA - Photos: 5 - [Hilltop Home Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hilltop-home-landscape-pj-vj~3088690) - Location: Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA - Photos: 13 - [Home Landscaping with Pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-landscaping-with-pool-pj-vj~4095803) - Location: Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA - Photos: 2 - Description: After completely renovating their home our team came in and completely re worked the yard.
