They are very reasonably priced on irrigation. Other than that they are very expensive for landscaping. They are very, very good!

This was not a simple installation. It had to be tied into our well water and positioned before the water treatment process. Also had to run pretests to see if the pump was of sufficient power to do the watering. There were no real problems that John couldn't handle. He had all the lines in one day and the system activated on day 2. The system worked as promised. I couldn't be happier with AMJ's performance.

We called AMJ Landscaping and were immediately impressed with the professionalism and punctual scheduling of work estimates. Aaron (the owner) came out to provide us with an estimate on major yard work leftover after clearing dead trees and underbrush from the backyard of our property. We also requested an estimate on adding dirt to a shallow ditch in our front yard. The original estimate to clear the debris and prep the land for seed/straw was either comparable or better than others we contacted for the same work. We had some County issues as well, and Aaron was instrumental in helping us work through to meet their remediation requirements. Aaron requested permission to set up his equipment on our property the weekend prior to the work being conducted (March 25); however, it was such a nice day he started clearing the debris that Saturday. It was amazing the difference the short time he was working and how our yard looked! He returned the following week to finish up the bobcat work and correct the ditch in the front yard. They seeded and strawed the areas and gave us instructions on watering to promote strong grass growth. They also planted our weeping willow that our friends gave to us. We noticed after about three weeks that the backyard grass wasn't coming in very well and requested they re-seed. They came out and did so without a problem. The grass is starting to get very thick and lush back there now. It's a marked difference from the tree mess that was in the backyard before! We also had them mulch around a line of trees next to a fence which was completed for $200. On May 11, we purchased our trees to be planted around the perimeter of our yard. Aaron provided an estimate to complete that work of $1300; which we felt was reasonable for 11 large evergreens and mulch around them. We hired him again and they came out that same week on May 15 and completed the work. Eddie and Adolfo completed the work that day and have always been friendly and amenable to our requests when providing guidance. Most recently we had two more evergreens planted for $215 and the work AMJ completed for us since March has made our yard more beautiful than it's ever been. We are so happy with the work of AMJ!

John Gallagher came by very nice and professionally, but then he bailed out when I was ready to make a decision which I think was very unprofessional. His punctuality to see the property was fine, but his punctuality to get back to me on the bidding was horrible.

AMJ consistently does an excellent job on our property. I don't have to call and remind them to do anything. If I have a new need they respond quickly to help me solve the problem. This year we have had an extreme problem with geese on our waterfront property and John and his crew researched how to handle the problem. I would highly recommend them.

I met with John to get an estimate for a large, but simple landscaping project for my property. After our meeting, I was made aware that AMJ would NOT provide a free estimates as posted on Angie's list. AMJ required a $300.00 fee for the landscaping design BEFORE providing the drawings and the estimate. Even then, you don't get to keep the drawings that you paid for unless you contract with them. This contractor wasted my valuable time. Be wary of any contractor asking you for money up-front and getting nothing in return. John is kidding himself if he thinks another professional landscape contractor would use his ideas. A $25K contract was awarded to another company. Very glad I listened to my gut instinct and decided to contract with another reputable company, as the finished landscaping looks incredible.

Excellent! The project manager, John, is friendly and works closely with customers. He offered us many ideas from which to chose. The work was performed on time and completed on time. Very pleased with the results.

I met them at the Maryland Home and Garden show. Aaron and John were absolutely wonderful to work with. I supplied them with current pictures of my yard and they came out and measured and looked. Withing a week I had drawings. John and I sat down and talked about the drawings and tweaked them to fit just what I wanted. A few days later, I had my quote. I went to their office and worked out the specifics and they helped me get everything just where I wanted it to be. They started my job immediately. 3 days from start to finish. Pictures and updates were provided throughout the day. It was so reassuring to see the progress and how everything was going. I would highly recommend AMJ for any project you have. My yard is the size of a postage stamp and they made it look like a million bucks. Thank you AMJ (Aaron and John)

I requested an estimate for a patio. The representative came to my house without a tape measure, used his feet to measure the area then came back with a price that was $10,000 more than the competitors for less work and I was buying the stone. When I inquired about the inaccuracy of the overall square feet and the excessive supplies, the representative produced a duplication of my email with the concerns and say "Sorry." Would never recommend this unprofessionalism that I experienced to ANYONE.

I found out later I paid a too much for what they did. They did an excellent job however.

Overall it went very well. The company was fitting us into their schedule and couldn't give us an exact time of arrival, we were told told that if we couldn't be home, the representative could perform the service anyway. . Company representative called before arriving, we weren't home, company representative performed the service and called and left a detailed message of the work that twas performed and and the steps that we needed to take inside the house to complete the process. The company representative even offered to come back when we were home to take care of the inside final steps incase we wanted him to. We have used other landscaping companies over the past 5 years for this service and so far we are the most pleased with AMJ and will definitely use them again.

never received call back to request for service

Fully satisified

We had been traveling in Europe and returned to a mess of a yard. The grass had been cut by a neighbor but clumps of clippings and dead grass were everywhere over several acres. The lawn near our waterfront was completely over grown and the tree line had extended into the grass area. We were having a party in about a week. I called AMJ and they came over the next day for an estimate and recommendations. Right away, the lawn began to improve with the professional cutting. After the bushes had been clipped, however, the workers also removed my mulch along with the clippings. I contacted John Gallagher and we came up with an immediate compromise and solution. On the second grass clipping just before the party, one area had been neglected. I contacted AMJ again and they came out the next day to fix the problem. I could not have asked for better service. AMJ was responsive to my needs and concerns. As a new customer, I expected some questions to arrise, but the fact that Aaron Jezierski and John Gallagher were always concerned about my needs made the experience a pleasure.

I had an area in between my deck and side garage door that was just sandy, ugly dirt. The area also doesn't get much sun and is very high traffic, so growing grass just wasn't really an option. John came out promptly after my inquiry for an estimate and sketched up some ideas then sent the proposal back to me that evening. We decided to add a paver walkway with multiple flower beds. After a few small tweaks to the proposal and signing the contract, John and his team came out a few days later and finished the project IN ONE DAY. I was ecstatic, as I was having a huge party the next week and didn't think I would be able to find anyone that could get the project done before then. The project team was courteous, relatively quiet (considering they were cutting stone), and they left the area neat and clean at the end of the day. The project lead even took the time to explain the work they did and make sure I was happy with it before leaving for the day. Aside from being prompt, the work is gorgeous. I still can't believe how beautiful that formerly ugly, dirty space looks when i look out my window. It will be much easier to maintain in the winter and spring as well. We've had several heavy rains since the walkway went in and there have been no problems with pooling or runoff. Only "problem" now is how nice that part of my very large yard looks compared to the rest of it! I will definitely be asking AMJ back for future projects!!! John was very easy to work with, and didn't make me feel bad when I asked him to change some things in the proposal. Oh, and he was also nice to my 3 crazy dogs.

I am completely satisfied with all of my projects. As mentioned above, the work is done professionally and well. All debris is cleared away. You would never know that someone had been there until you noticed the finished project. Everyone that I have dealt with, has been knowledgable and helpful. They suggest, but don't push you into doing something you don't want to do. AMJ Landscaping, Inc. wants you to be happy with your project and will work with you until you are!

John the project manager and designer took digital pictures of the existing lawns and overgrown gardens to scan into his landscaping design and layout software.He was than able to offer several ideas for the new gardens and lawn.The next day we added a few changes than signed the contract.His team was here within a week and completed the project and clean up in two days. AMJ landscaping followed up with instructions for the care and maintenance of our new gardens. John and his crew were a pleasure to work with and we would definately recommend their company.

The team that was sent to remove all the plants was quiet and efficient. They cleaned up and took all of the debris to the dump.

Our landscaper, John, was great to work with. We had no ideas for design, he came up with a great idea and offered multiple options both from a design standpoint and a cost standpoint. The price was comparable to other estimates we had received. In the end we chose AMJ because the level of service we received from John in just the planning phase made us feel comfortable that we would get the same level of service in the install. We weren't surprised by any price changes, the estimate was the final cost, no hidden surprises. The work was started quickly and while weather caused a minor delay, I'd say they finished on time. John stayed in close contact throughout the project. The work crews were always on time and very respectful. We had an unusual situation in that we have a pet door on the house and a dog ramp. The new design for the steps meant a new design for the dog ramp was needed. The carpenter custom built a new ramp. While we had to make a few adjustments to it later (make it a bit bigger), we were still happy with the initial product, he built exactly what we asked for. In the design phase John listened to not just my 'wants' for the moment, but what I'd like to do in the future. He gave us an estimate for all the 'wants', all I had to do was pick and choose what I wanted. While we ended up sticking with the initial plan, I now have a good idea of what it will cost to get the other things done in the future, and can easily start budgeting for that now. Some heavy equipment had to be used and because my house is close to my neighbors it meant the grass would be torn up a bit. Another aspect of the great customer service was that John contacted the neighbors personally to let them know what was going to happen. He left his contact info so they could contact him directly if they had any complaints. Part of our wood fence had to be removed to bring in the equipment, but it was put back in place just perfectly. We were very happy with AMJ and John, and we will certainly be using them again.
