After being ripped off by another landscaper from Jacksonville, we called Justin to help us out. He came the same day my husband called him. Justin mowed our back yard, which is about an acre. He also came back the next day to weed eat and finish the areas that were too wet to mow the previous day. Friendly, down-to-earth guy who will get our business again!
Description of Work: Mowed our lawn.

I am the house next to where Mr. Smith has worked for two days. He was removing a large tree that fell on a shed, and the shed never maintained, it had to come down as well. This man is EXCELLENT, smart thinking, and non stop..He was organized and very talented in improvising how to make something he needed for job, he took entire tree down and took the shed apart himself with an axe. His trailer did not have too many sides, which he needed to haul the tree and debris away. So, he cut down the doors and the walls on the ruined shed and used it as a frame! He came back today with a helper to load shed parts on trailer,all sorts of stuff around shed, and logs. He cleared the area of work debris at end. He gave me his card and though I have never been on Angie's list - how could I not write a glowing recommendation for anyone that had done so much in a shrot amount of time. I was just really impressed how quick and swift his work was. Its very hard to find someone who works hard like this, he was truly working hard. Im surprised he didn't pass out because of the heat! Anyone who would hire him would not be disappointed. This is someone I would want on MY team.
Description of Work: he cleared a huge tree and a ruined shed from my neighbors yard

Description of Work: 7/11 Provider worked next door. I was in awe how steady, assertive, lots of initiative he had in his work. He was organized and worked the first day - 7/10 - alone. He removed a huge tree from the top of a shed in neighbors yard here on Mandy Lane. He cut this huge tree into sections, loading these huge sections on a trailer. He demolished the shed - which had not been taken care of - with strength and an ax. He used the doors of the shed for the sides of his trailer and some old boards for the front and back. I was knitting in the kitchen on and both days 7/10 and 11. I have not used Angie's List but signed up today just so I could leave a review for this hard working young man. You don't find or see individuals that put this type of work ethic into a job. I am old school and I said that if I had a team I would want him on it! I believe he had to do more in the job than perhaps he thought - the tree and shed was one thing but the people that had moved out - tons of stuff inside, around the shed left behind. He cleared the entire area above and beyond. I had to voice my very positive seeing testimony - he was such a hard working, organized, high initiative man. You can't ignore that. You will not be disappointed if you hire this man.

After hiring a previous landscaper who ran off with my deposit, I realized I had an Angie's list account which I should have used in the first place. I found Justin / Yards of Distinction on Angie's list and took a chance as he had an A-rating and I like the review I read. He showed up at the time he said he would. I like punctuality. Extremely courteous, he assessed the yard and we quickly came up with what I felt was a fair price and he said he could start tomorrow. We met at Lowes to find a stone pattern where he assisted with the best choice, including plants. He worked three consecutive days and the results are great. All of my neighbors walking their dogs stop and glance at the excellent work. Three neighbors have hired him to do work after mine was completed. He has a very good work ethic, polite, shows up when he tells you and will call you if he'll be a few minutes late or if he wants to make sure he's doing the job to your liking. He's a young humble guy who works by himself, has all the equipment and is very appreciative of the business. I'm very happy with the work and will hire him again in the future.
Description of Work: He framed by driveway with a brick paver pattern on both sides including the walkway to the front door. He put in flower beds and pine straw beds around trees in my yard.
