Let me start by saying that I am a small business owner and customer service is very important to me. We recently built our dream home and needed the entire space to be landscaped. After a great deal of research, we decided to use JML Landscaping. Jeremy and his team were absolutely fantastic to deal with. He personally sat down with my wife and I and custom designed our entire yard. He was able to show us a 3 dimensional computerized diagram of exactly what the finished product would look like. This was amazing and from that point forward we were all in! From start to finish his team was extremely courteous, professional and always on time. We get so many compliments on our landscape and hardscape. I highly recommend JML! You won't be disappointed!!

This was a pretty horrible experience. We gave Jeremy our 50% deposit in March. He had several business setbacks which kept delaying the project start until the start of August. My wife and I decided to stick with him and give him a chance - it was a mistake. His crew started work on August 7 by digging up our existing patio. On the day they were to set posts, on August 10, he finds out that the lumber needs to be pre-ordered and there is an 8 week wait. It was my impression that the project deposit was to be used to order such things, but my guess is he just took his profits up front. He just left our patio as it was and disappeared for 8 weeks. When the posts finally arrived they were rushing to get the work done - making decisions without consulting with us as they went. In fact, Jeremy was hardly ever there and it was clear his crew was never briefed on what the details of the project were. We finally hear from Jeremy on October 3 - only to be told he needs another payment for "changes". We really had no changes, but I wanted the project done so I offered him half of what he was demanding with the balance to be paid with the project completion. He had his crew stop work and leave the site as it was. It was a complete disaster. I ended up hiring a different contractor to finish the project. The summer was completely lost, as well as our deposit. If you do decide to hire him for some crazy reason, do not give him money upfront. You will regret it.

Response from JML Landscape Development
I would like to start by saying J.M.L Landscape Development has a 9 year history of positive experiences and reviews with clients. Unfortunately, due to the extremely misleading and defamatory remarks filed in this report it is imperative I provide an accurate account of the timeline and details of the experience with these clients as outlined in all correspondence, meetings, and notes with them including daily project logs with my foreman on site. The total original project cost at the date of contract signing was $42,628.00 A deposit in the amount of $21,000.00 was given in March of 2016 and was scheduled to break ground at the beginning of June 2016. It is true the project was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances and weather for which I accept full responsibility on the accounts that could be controlled. Even with the delays, I kept [Member Name Removed] updated regularly via emails and meetings as we approached the start date while apologizing for the delay and thanking them for staying with J.M.L Landscape Development to provide them a quality outcome as we have for all of our previous clients in the past nine years. During our June 7, 2016 meeting leading up to the project start, I requested the final height of the pergola so the 10x10” cedar posts could be ordered as this takes roughly 4-6 weeks for delivery being a special order. The homeowners tentatively gone back and forth between the top of their lower level windows or above on their house. I was informed they would discuss further and let me know. After several failed attempts to contact the homeowners for their decision, it was only during the follow up meeting on August 9th, 2016 that I was able to receive a response: one month later. The project deposit IS used for ordering such materials, as stated by the homeowner, but I cannot order the correct material without knowing these certain details in advance. At the time of ordering these 10x10” posts I was again informed by both of my cedar suppliers that there would be a four to six week wait from the mill and passed that info along to the homeowner [Member Name Removed] . My crew started this project the week of August 3, 2016 by dismantling the area of the existing patio for the outdoor kitchen addition. During this week I was on a previously scheduled family vacation and could not be on site. However, I entrust all projects to my foreman who has been with the company since inception. We also facetime and discuss any issues through the week, regardless if I’m onsite or not. I communicated this to [Member Name Removed] on July 26, 2016 after letting him know my crew would be breaking ground on Wednesday the August 3. My crew continued to work to clear the existing patio, set forms for posts and kitchen structures, pour concrete and prep for when the posts arrived, so we could set and anchor them and continue with the project. However, due to the delayed posts, we had no other work that could be completed prior to that. I chose to work on another project in the meantime while making [Member Name Removed] aware of this so he did not think we were abandoning his project—which we would never do. When the posts came in as scheduled (09/21/16) as I informed [Member Name Removed]. We then set them and continued with the construction of the kitchen structure. My crew had been briefed on the ever changing and evolving project as needed. For [Member Name Removed] to say “We really had no changes” is an outright lie. I have countless emails including SIX proposal revisions that say otherwise. [Member Name Removed] even joked at one of the meetings before we broke ground that if they had to wait much longer, they’ll keep thinking of things they wanted to change. On October 3, 2016 construction had been going smoothly. My crew had set the cedar posts and constructed roughly 85% of the kitchen structure, cut in and laid all of the conduit for gas and electric installation and prepped gravel to relay the paver floor. We had reached the halfway point of the project leaving only four days to finish the detail on the “wind wall” and the pizza oven façade, two days to lay and finish the paver floor, and two days to build the top of the pergola. Leaving only the granite supplier to set the countertops and the electrician to finish up. Minus any small finishing details. At this point, I sent [Member Name Removed] an email indicating I would like to settle up on the difference of the extras so the amount he owed at the end would be true to our original binding contract. As previously mentioned above there were many changes and additions throughout the project that had added up to $7,871.55. Since these were added after the original contract became binding I wanted to discuss payment for these items as they were above and beyond the original contract amount. [Member Name Removed] replied to my email on October 3, 2016 wanting a complete rundown of changes and alterations to date which I emailed to him explaining everything. He replied again on the same day detailing some line items he would like to remove. I revised the estimate accordingly and returned. I also wanted to get the detail on the “wind wall” finalized, as well as the end detail on the pergola so we could proceed without delay. We scheduled to meet again on October 4, 2016 to discuss the wall and pergola details. After making adjustments from our meeting, I sent a picture of a mockup of the wall detail for them to review, and receive and response early that afternoon stating “The boss says she likes it. Greenlight.” This was October 5th, 2016. Per [Member Name Removed]’s request, I submitted a detailed explanation of add-ons. I provided him with an exact amount of the changes and additions that were above and beyond what our original contract indicated. I requested the $7,871.55 be paid to get us back on our original binding contract amount of $21,628.00 due at completion of the project. [Member Name Removed] replied “It doesn’t state that in your terms. Sorry, that just won’t happen. I feel the outstanding balance is the only leverage I have in seeing this project done.” I replied and explained the terms refer to the original signed contract amount of $42,628.00 and that he will still have the original final payment of $21,628.00 as his leverage to see the project done. I could understand his concern of paying for extras up front, so I offered to draw up a separate contract for just the add-ons. This is to ensure it’s in writing for his defense and mine as a small business owner that there is a binding contract of payment for services. After [Member Name Removed]s response of needing “leverage” I became concerned that he wouldn’t pay JML for services rendered, which is why I offered a second contract. I am not comfortable as a small business owner to provide services with no proof that the homeowner has to pay at completion. At this point of progress in the project, the cost amount of labor and materials equate to the amount of the deposit. We were at an impasse. All meetings and correspondence up to this point have been very nice, light, and cordial. There was never mention at any point of issues they might be having with JML and the services we provided. I reached out to [Member Name Removed] several more times to discuss a resolution. However, on October 6, 2016 I received a email threatening a lawsuit. [Member Name Removed] writes, “I feel that you clearly took your profits up front. Look for my reviews on Angie’s List, Facebook, BBB, Ripoff Report, and others. I’ll be honest.” After receiving a threatening email like that I’m completely blindsided and now unsure of what his motives are, so I instruct my employees to collect our tools and leave the site until I can meet with [Member Name Removed] to sit down and talk face to face to see if there is something I might be missing in our impersonal emails back and forth. Never, in the 9 years of business, have I ever left a project unfinished. However, I’ve never had a client refuse to pay for what they approved outside of the original contract amount either as [Member Name Removed] refused. After calling and emailing several times to try and set up a meeting with the homeowners to resolve this problem I get no response until October 17, 2016 stating “We’re considering all of our options, but we know that we will not be moving forward with JML.” Again I reply asking for their availability to meet and find a resolution to the problem instead of sending long cumbersome impersonal emails. I receive no reply nor explanation. At this point, all materials and labor have been paid. On November 17, 2016 [Member Name Removed] begins submitting misleading and defamatory reviews of J.M.L Landscape Development stating more or less that I simply took his money and ran which simply couldn’t be further from the truth. Everyone in the nine years of clients can unequivocally vouch that J.M.L Landscape Development has never done this. We enjoy a great reputation for a quality product in the central Ohio market area. We’ve had nine years of great products and services for our clients since we’ve opened our doors January 1, 2008. The majority of my business is done by referral as we take pride in our work and our relationships. We also provide a warranty for services that cannot be beat. We invite you to give us an opportunity to prove it to you and you’re welcome to reach out to the long list of happy clients we’ve provided.

We completed the project in 2 phases over 2 years. Jeremy could not be any easier to work with! He and his crew are just wonderful! They do such amazing work and plan to have them back for other paver projects in the future. Excellent communication. Courteous, professional, very easy to talk to. They go above and beyond any expectations I ever had. Highly recommend them! We've had a ton of neighbors come by to look at their work and ask for their contact info. Just a really talented group of guys!
Description of Work: Rebuilt front stoop and stairs. Created a paver path from driveway / front entrance around the side of the house to the back patio. Landscaping to the entire area.

They did a good job. However, we had an issue with them. They were very good about coming back and correcting the issue. The issue was so small that it was not even a problem. They were very easy to work with and very good overall. Their price was fair. They were very responsive and very professional. They worked with us very easily to come up with a landscaping design. They were very flexible and we were very pleased with the outcome. We would use their services again in the future.

He came to the house and gave us a reasonable estimate for a retaining wall and patio. We had to put off the construction as my wife became very ill. He call a few times over the next year per my request to see if things were OK with my wife and understood when I couldn't do the work right then. He was always understanding and patient.

The project was delayed, due to other obligations/weather related reasons. I think this is very typical, especially as you go later in the peak season. Once the team began the job things progressed quickly. Was very happy with quality of work, materials, professionalism and attention to detail. They made sure to check that we were happy with the work/design as job progressed and were very responsive to any changes or ideas we had. We are quite pleased with the job and design and would happily recommend the company to others.
Description of Work: Installed hardscape: new landing/stairs, grill surround, fire pit with partial surround seating wall. Installed landscape: mulch beds, raised flower beds, trees, shrubs.

We haven?t decided who we are going with. They price they quoted me was about $8,000 for that work. We liked him and he was real friendly, on time and went out and walked the area with us in our backyard. He looked at stuff and gave us good ideas and stuff that we may not have thought of. Based on the plan he showed us, he was a little over the budget but followed what we were asking. I had no problem getting a hold of him and him returning phone calls.
Description of Work: JML Landscape Development came out 2 or 3 weeks ago and gave us an estimate to have a paver patio done with a couple of columns, a step down and some lighting involved with it.

Jeremy, the owner of JML Landscaping, was prompt and professional from start to finish of our project. He responded quickly from the beginning, first with design ideas and then with estimates and a final design of our project (He was very patient with us as we made up our mind on which design and company to use). Ultimately, we really preferred his professionalism, patience and quick responses to our calls and emails. He offered ideas and ultimately designed a space of about 500 square feet of outdoor space. He redesigned the steps going outside. He suggested the design in the pavers that we chose, and created a raised bed. In the future, we may have JML install two seat walls and a built-in grill. The guys who did the physical work were always prompt and professional. They came to work when they said they would and even worked in the rain at times. I observed them checking and rechecking their work with a level while they were laying the pavers, so I knew they were perfectionists. I would definitely recommend JML Landcaping to others. Jeremy wants to make the customer happy and exhibits patience with even the most discerning customers (as we tend to be). Even when we had a mis-communication throughout the process, Jeremy worked hard to make it right. We could not be more pleased with how the patio turned out.
Description of Work: JML Landscaping removed our old patio bricks and some plants and a birch tree with roots that had caused damage to the old patio. They designed and installed a beautiful new patio space with a raised bed. They used our old bricks for a side project, and also installed some new soft landscaping - bushes and plants, trees, etc.
