Jcl Landscape Services

We retained JCL Landscape Services to remove our existing fence and wooden retaining wall and replace it with a stone retaining wall and basic wooden fence. We had a contract with JCL Landscape Services dated 6/1/20 that states: Item 1.b) Excavate into grade to accommodate width of new wall and not encroach on property below Item 1.d) Installation of concrete footer with rebar per engineering design JCL Landscape Services did not excavate into grade to accommodate width of new wall per the contract. Nor did JCL Landscape Services did not take any steps to record or mark the property line to ensure the new wall was entirely on our property. The construction of the new retaining wall destroyed any signs of the original property line. As it appeared the new retaining wall was being built across the property line onto the neighbor’s property, we hired a professional land surveyor to establish the location of the property line. The land surveyor determined the new retaining wall built by JCL Landscaping Services extended 6 inches beyond the property line between us and our neighbor.. During the construction of the retaining wall, JCL Landscape Services did not install a concrete footer with rebar as stated in Item 1.d) in the contract. The stone retaining wall was built directly on the soil. The fence posts were not vertical in many instances, and many were too short resulting in issues with attaching the top rail of the fence to the post. We met with Brandon after the wall and fence was completed, but prior to staining the fence. The fence was taken down and the fence panels were stacked around our back yard. The original retaining wall was demolished. The second retaining wall was built per the specifications outlined in our contract. Using the boundary markers left by the survey crew, JCL Landscape Services was able to construct the wall on our property. JCL Landscaping did an excellent job cleaning up the neighbor’s property and laying new sod. With the initial build, tear down, and rebuild, this project took more than twice as long as the original time estimate to complete the project. We deducted the amount we paid the land surveying company, $378.88, from our final payment. The land surveying expense would not have been incurred if the first retaining wall had not crossed onto our neighbor’s property. JCL Landscaping accepted the payment of $25,021.12. We were not told at the time of this payment our warranty was void. I contacted JCL Landscape Services approximately 13 months after the completion of this project and asked them to fix a sagging gate. Here is the response from JCL Landscaping Services: “Sorry, but when you decided not to pay your final bill you voided your warranty with JCL on the fence and retaining wall. We will not be repairing anything for you. I would recommend the (sic) using the money you took from us to fix your gate…”

If you are looking to upgrade your existing landscape or remove old tired railroad cross ties, JCL is the company you should call. Nathan is friendly, courteous, and very easy to work with. His crew performed just as he promised and completed the work within the projected time . They answered all my questions and we all had a clear understanding of the project from the start. At the end of the work, they thoroughly cleaned up the worksite, which you don’t see from a lot of other construction companies. Highly recommended!

We used JCL for a pool demolition, they were great! After getting several bids, JCL was the best all around, Good price, thorough, professional, realistic work plan & cost. Brandon & crew were very professional, on time every day, and the outcome exceeded our expectations. During our project we had some weather move in, causing delays in the project, but JCL kept us posted and moved ahead as soon as the weather allowed, completing the project timely. we couldn't be happier with our new backyard, and plan to have them back to do more.
