GREAT! Chris is a real professional. Arrived as planned to evaluate project (redo existing landscaping in front/side of house & address drainage issue), followed up very quickly with recommendations and pricing. Very agreeable to needing to break the project out in to 2 phases because of cost. Scheduled work within a week, arrived when expected, completed work within a timely manner, cleaned up area, was very good about explaining how to maintain plants, what to expect for growth timeframe.

Chris provided an estimate for approximately 50' of landscaping block that was one layer for 40' and 2-3 layers where the yard sloped away including steps for coming out the gate. He would remove the old bushes and install a 7' Choctaw Crepe Myrtle for shade on the sliding glass doors for $950. He estimated $70 to repair the sprinkler zone if it was straight forward and $35/ hr for something more complicated like running a new line. I accepted the estimate and he and a helper arrived on schedule and completed the work in two days. They were professional and informative and cleaned up each day. Great experience.
Description of Work: I needed a combination of border and retaining wall along the back of my pool. The original wood border was partially collapsed and the plants were overgrown. There was a problem with the sprinklers in the bed in this zone and my new sod wasn't be watered adequately. I also needed a small tree to shade a sliding glass door from early morning summer sun. I requested an estimate and recommendations from Chris at CJ's Landscaping.

Although I called and set up the appointment, Chris worked with my 87 year old Mom to determine what needed to be done at my Mother's home.. My Mom had received another quote from a different landscaper and Chris beat that company's price by almost $3,000. He also saved her over $1,000 by pointing out there was a portion of the current lawn that did not need to be replaced. My Mom really liked Chris and felt he treated her fairly and did not try to take advantage of her age or lack of knowledge regarding Florida grass. Mom also hired Chris to provide quarterly services to treat the new sod. Since the work has been completed, Chris has called a few times to tell us to either turn on or off the water. He also took the time to explain that Mom's water bill was going to be high but if we would attach a copy of his bill when Mom pays the water bill, the water company will give her a credit. AWESOME SERVICE!!!! Would recommend CJ Landscaping to all that are interested in their service.

Chris arrived when scheduled for the estimate, gave me what I thought was a reasonable price for the removal of all my dead shrubs (thanks to the HOA for re-doing our sprinkler system - my shrubs no long got enough water), purchase and install replacement shrubs (a hardier variety). Chris said with his schedule he could get my job done within approx. 10-14 days. I was in no hurry. 3 days later, Chris called, came over and completed the job within a few hours. My wife came home a couple hours later and was thoroughly please with the selection and installation. Beautiful, tasteful, professional and completely satisfied. I would use Chris again in a heartbeat. I've recommended him to neighbors already.

Would not hesitate to ever use Chris or recommend him. It was a great job.
Description of Work: I needed a new tree put in where my Orange Tree was removed and new bushes in front of my Florida room. He came out and give me some ideas and then emailed me the price if I went with each of the suggestions. When I made my decision and emailed him back he was out the next day and it was done in a matter of hours. He also used my extra pavers in front of the bushes to make a border which looked terrific.

I contacted CJ's Landscaping via Angie's List and they responded within an hour, on a weekend. They were able to come out the following Monday to inspect the property and provide us with an estimate. We traded a few e-mails about the scope of work and settled on a scope and price. CJ's was on site the next morning and completed all of their work within a few hours. They did an excellent job cleaning up a lot of dead areas in our landscaping and made it look fresh and new. The guys did a wonderful job and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and recommend them to my friends and family.
Description of Work: Cleaned up and replaced rubber mulch in front of property. Cleaned up and pruned dead areas on all landscaping on front and back of the property. Trimmed hedges surrounding pool on side of property. Remulched with red wood mulch on the back of the property.

Chris came out quickly after I called and worked with an existing landscape design we had drawn last year. He was able to modify the design and cut our cost substantially working with some of the materials we already had as opposed to starting from scratch. He also suggested plant alternatives that could survive the frost. He and his crew changed our center island which included removing old log type edging, grading, moving a large boulder, and installing new plants and trees. They also reworked the other plant beds so that they look a lot cleaner. He also referred us to tree service that cleaned up three trees in our front yard and ground down four stumps in the back and they also did a great job. It only took three days from start to finish. We are extremely pleased with the work and will use them again.

I called CJ's Landscaping years ago (3 or 4 years ago) to put a new lawn and landscaping on my Aunt's house. They did a great job, and they have been mowing and spraying the lawn ever since. When I moved in to the house next door to my Aunt (about 2 years ago), I called CJ's to install a new lawn and all new landscaping. They did a great job and have been mowing and spraying, etc ever since. Chris also had my landscaping lights done, and they turned out very well. He also had a tree service (Sieber of Hudson, FL) come and take down some really tall trees and grind the stumps. They did a great job. The property looks as fresh as it did 30 years ago when my parents built the house. I had a separate company dig a deep well because I was not satisfied with a points well that was on the property. I do not recommend point wells (shallow wells) in this neighborhood. They work fine for a while, then they just dry up unexpectedly. (If you need a DEEP well with a steel casing in this area, I recommend Gil Perry Well Drilling.) Now that all this work is done, everything looks great.
Description of Work: CJ's Landscaping does my weekly lawn mowing, and my pest and fertilizer spraying. They continue to do a good job. I am very satisfied with their work. I spend $125 on one house and $100 on the other house each month. It's hard to say whether this is expensive or not because lot sizes vary. One house is a corner lot, the other is next door (not a corner lot). I think it's competitive with what others would charge. Chris is very responsive whenever we call.

Chris and his subcontractors and crew finished the front yard first, and then took on the riverfront, a much larger area. All the people he used to work at my home were very personable, and I was comfortable with all of them. I will continue to use the subcontractors as needed in the future. The communications were good both verbally and via email so I was kept informed about any issues that were going on. Chris and his crew also had to deal with city codes and utilities because of right of way concerns, and water needed to be run to the riverfront. All this was handled diplomatically and according to the city's requirements for property owners. The final result was the project ran smoothly and was finished according to our initial conception. The enhancement to my property and to the neighborhood has been significant - this is evident not just by my enjoyment of the beautiful result, but by the remarks of neighbors and strangers, and the number of people who slow down to look at what was done. I cannot wait until the landscaping matures and I am sure that will just increase the beauty. I have retained Chris to continue in maintenance as I trust him to keep the lovely beginnings of my landscaping project.
Description of Work: I met with Chris to go over landscaping plans that were done for my front yard & riverfront by a friend from out of state who is a landscape designer. I wanted modifications to the plans, and he had a lot of good ideas about different plants more locally suited, and hardscaping suggestions that were also more appropriate for this location. I contracted with him to do the landscaping project. This included irrigation system, landscape lighting, pavers, and a significant length of stone garden wall.

He did an amazing job. Every night, when I see the results, I am still in awe of how great everything looks.
Description of Work: Chris is the best - we found him here on Angie's List and gave him a call. I asked for an estimate to fix and add landscape lighting to our front yard, back garden behind our pool cage and both the left and right sides of the pool cage. His estimate was quick, very cost effective and he explained everything with suggestions on how we could avoid buying another transformer by using LED lights instead of conventional. He also had wonderful ideas about how to accomplish what we wanted. He is extremely personable, knows exactly what he is doing and gets it done quickly. I would not hesitate for a second to refer him to anyone, and if this says anything, I have already referred my daughter to him for her landscape lighting needs. Chris is the best.

Response from CJ'S Landscaping
Thanks! Glad we could help. I'm always amazed at how people will spend thousands of dollars on their landscaping, but forget to add lights so they can enjoy that landscaping during the evening hours. With the new L.E.D. lights, you can now enjoy the beauty of a professionally lit landscape and do it in a very reasonable and environmentally friendly way. Bulbs that used to last 6 months can now last 6 years, and use a tenth as much electricity.

After having a flood due to lots of rain, Chris came out to help us figure out what we needed to keep water out of our yard (and out of our house). He installed a large submersible pump on one side of our house and fixed drainage problems on the other. In addition, over the past two years, Chris( who is the owner of CJ's Landscaping) has installed sod and landscaping in the front yard. He always does a great job and our yard looks wonderful! His prices are reasonable, and he is honest and punctual.I highly recommend him for any and all landscaping needs.

Chris has been taking care of my lawn and landscaping for about 2 years now. We have been extremely happy with him and his guys. They're extremely reliable, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. In addition, he is highly accessible. He returns my emails or calls usually the same day. I've used several landscaping and lawn services over the years, and he's the best we've had.

Chris provided an initial design for my approval, he completed the work in a timely manner, and he communicated with me along the way. He was easy to reach via phone and e-mail. He and his staff were professional. He is easy to talk to and answered my questions. Florida is a difficult place for landscaping (long periods of drought, watering restrictions, pests, weeds). Even so, Chris has kept up with the needs of my aunt's yard, and I trust he will do the same with my new yard. I am continuing to use him to maintain my yard and my aunt's yard.
Description of Work: The landscaping at my house and at my aunt's house next door had deteriorated over the years. During the last two years, I have been working with Chris of CJ's Landscaping to restore the appearance of both yards. Two years ago we completely re-sodded my aunt's yard, and we replaced all of the shrubs. Chris has maintained it during that time, and it now looks very green and attractive. Seeing the success of my aunt's yard, I decided to improve my own yard this Spring (2012). My house now has new sod and new shrubs. It also has new landscape lighting. Chris pulled out the old shrubs, some of which were 29 years old, and he re-graded the property to even out the entire lawn area. The tree lane needed extra preparation. Seven stumps needed grinding. His prices were competitive with others I looked at and seemed reasonable to me for my entire house. He also gave me options (more expensive, less expensive).

We spent around $3,000 on that work. We were not completely satisfied with the quote he gave us and the landscaping was definitely not satisfactory. We would not use him again because the work was not up to what they promised. One of the biggest problems was that they did not do proper bed preparation. They were supposed to pull up everything and prepare the bed for putting down new plant and mulch, but in a week we had stuff growing up from underneath the mulch from the old landscaping.

I explained to the members that we would remove the existing weeds and install new weed mat down. I also explained that using any weed mat product does not guarantee that you won't have weeds. In this case, they had a lot of perennial grasses, which will grow through the fabric. We also came back numerous times and treated the new weeds at NO CHARGE, and explained that weed control was a part of landscape maintenance, whether you have landscape fabric or not. We did a very good job and they were very happy when we left the job. The "problem" occurred several weeks later, when they started seeing weeds in the beds. This was in the summer in West Florida. In two weeks, you will see weeds in almost any landscape areas...with or without "proper bed preparation." I further offered to continue treating the weeds for a very fair price, and explained that the service would provide them with control over all the weed problems they were experiencing. Some people have unrealistic expectations of what a weed mat or mulch will do. Nothing is 100% for weed control, including asphalt and concrete, why would someone think a fabric would be? We've installed 1000's of landscapes over 32 years and they all have several things in common. One being they all require follow up care. Weeding, fertilizing, watering, pest & disease control are all part of the equation if you want to develop any landscape. One does not just pay a fee, no matter how big or small, and expect to never have to maintain their landscaping again. The obvious exception to this would be if they were paying for a MAINTENANCE contract also. This was offered, but declined. The obligation to maintain one's landscape is on the owner, unless a contractor is brought in.

I was impressed at first when he wanted my business, however he lost it when he could not keep in touch. He also sent me two invoices for October after I had paid him and after I sent a letter canceling service because of my disappointment, I got no response. No apology, or explanation of what had happened.
Description of Work: The service itself seemed to be ok. The fact that I was unable to get the owner to keep in touch with me for questions and complaints was the problem. There was grass clippings all over my yard and in my bird bath. It was not a good clean up job.

Response from CJ'S Landscaping
The member contacted us for a price on cutting/edging her property. I visited the site, and told her the price. It is a relatively large lot with lots of edging/trimming. I explained that we did not (per IFAS) collect grass clippings, but for environmental reasons, mulched them up. I also explained the benefits of doing this both for the long term health of her turf and the long term health of our environment. Long story short, she was expecting no clipping left on the lawn. We use mulching blades/decks, and double cut if required, but during the summer months, there is still sometimes a minimal amount of visible clippings. We have been using this system for almost 20 years, per University of Florida recommendation, and have had excellent results in both turf quality and reducing our carbon footprint. It's truly a shame that some people can't go with science based advice and have to insist on doing things in a way that not only if environmentally unfriendly- putting more debris in landfills, but also hinders their turf development, by hauling away organic matter that should be utilized by the grass to help promote steady, long term health. We continue to try and educate people, but there are always some that probably will never accept that bagging up grass clippings and hauling them away is neither good for their lawn, or the environment. As far as the billing issue, we accidentally sent out two invoices on the first month, I told the member to disregard the second one. They were duplicates, not additional invoices.
