J P Ventura Lawn Service

Very well. This company is thoroughly professional and knowledgeable. I am happy that I checked out Angie's List when I was looking for a lawn and landscaping service in or near Arlington, VA.

.

They were efficient and one of the most reasonably priced. They were respectful and did a quick quote. I didn't have to be home, they put the quote in the mail slot and it was very nice. They seemed to be honorable and not high pressure and gave suggestions how to do it ourselves.

It got done later than I would have liked but that was because of the weather and that the had gotten behind in the other jobs they had contracted and I understand that. They diHauling away the debris was another plus. All in all I was very pleased with the company and their work.

Years ago, I had J P Ventura Lawn Service mowing the lawn at my house and my Mother's house. Then I got a lightweight electric lawn mower and mowed the lawn myself for some years. I liked the mindless time offline and the exercise. However, when I injured my back this Spring, I realized I couldn't mow for awhile. And I was going to be traveling. I saw the J P Ventura truck in my neighborhood and remembered how good they were, so I called. They kindly fit me in to their schedule and I was happy to have it done while I was gone. When I returned and it was so hot, I realized what a relief it was to have them come regularly to mow and trim, so I've kept going with them They are polite, responsive, reliable, and careful around my other plantings. It seems like they have several long-time workers and that's always a plus. They bill monthly, so I'm not dealing with writing checks all the time. I am very satisfied and am so glad I remembered them. And I've only just realized that they do other grounds maintenance - like gutter cleaning, mulching, weeding (oh my aching back!). So while I just signed on to Angie's List from a big deal item on landscaping services, I'm reminded once again how good I already have it! Their prices are more than reasonable and I like purchasing services from a family-owned small business in our local area.

It went great. First of all, I just love these people. They came and did the estimate very fast but when I called and said I had the estimate, they came by immediately after getting off the phone and did the job. The job was very personable.

Prompt - well done!

They are very flexible on the mowing schedule, which is very nice. In the spring and fall, we usually have them come once a week and in the summer, once every other week. It's not a problem for them at all. The owner is very friendly when I talk to her on the phone, and her employees do very nice work.

My neighbors and I have used J P Ventura Lawn Service for many years - before I started mowing my own lawn - for exercise. They've been in the business more than 2 decades and have built a healthy business by word-of-mouth and personal referrals. I was reminded recently of the extra lawn services they provide when one of my real estate clients was getting estimates for complete lawn care, including turf management. After reviewing an estimate that I thought was high, I looked on Angie's list. Imagine my surprise to find an unsatisfactory rating, as all of my interactions with Ventura have been extraordinary. The same with my neighbors, a number of them elderly and vulnerable to being taken advantage of. They are very flexible and don't lock you in to a rigid schedule of lawn mowing or services, as almost every other company does (I've found). If I don't need mowing one week, I just call ahead and cancel the service for that time. The same if I need an extra mowing - just call and ask Jenny to get it on the schedule for a time when they'll be nearby with one of their always reliable crews. That's because I tend to need mowing only every 10 days or so, once past the growing season. In the past, they were always careful to close up tight so my 'escape artist' dog wouldn't get out, may he rest in peace. They just provide good customer service. I won't hesitate to recommend J P Ventura to anyone in need of lawn services of any kind. I really like the idea of a flat rate for mowing and then the other services by the task. They have a good knowledge of what's needed, but definitely aren't pushy sales people. It's the most economical service I know about. I'm not involved in any way and have no knowledge of the people involved, outside of my personal/professional interaction with them. I just like that it's a family-owned small business and there seems to be little or no turnover of their workers, so they remember instructions time after time. That's a big plus.

Badly. I contacted 4 lawn service companies on March 7 to obtain proposals for fertilizing, mowing, aerating, overseeding and leaf blowing. One promptly informed me that I lived just outside of his service area. The other two provided me with lawn maintenance plan and cost estimate within 10 days of my request. I held off making a decision until I heard from the remaining company, J P Ventura, whom I had to contact two subsequent times, both times getting a promise that someone would come out to look at the property. I finally called them a final time on March 24 and told them that I couldn't wait any longer. I was asked to wait on the phone a few minutes, then the rep came back on to tell me that they did not service my area. Couldn't they have told me that 3 weeks ago back on March 7 and saved me the time and aggravation?

The team at JP Ventura cleared the lot of leaves and clipped back all of the perennials for the winter. They get the job done quickly and don't cut corners. A great crew we use every year for the "heavy lifting" projects in the yard.

It has been a really good experience. They are always punctual and do a good job. Their price is more than fair and they are pretty consistent. If you need to cut your grass a little sooner or something like that, you give them a call and they usually accommodate you and do the work.

Extremely well.

Things were just great! They always do a wonderful job. I never have a complaint about them missing a spot. They are timely and still manage to do the job well done. I will definitely be keeping them around for some quite some time.

Excellent, as usual. I have used Mr. Ventura's company for probably 15 years.

Excellent, on time, reasonably priced, very personable.

GOOD JOB AND RESPONSIVE SERVICE. THEY RETURNED PHONE CALLS PROMPTLY AND CAME TO THE HOUSE FOR ESTIMATES, WORK AND FOLLOW UP PROMPTLY. THE WORK WAS DONE PROFESSIONALLY AND PROMPTLY.
