J & J Landscape Management, Inc.

Over the winter of 2014 we moved into a single family home in northern VA with a good sized lawn and hedges / bed areas. Due to work / travel schedule we knew we would need to look to a landscaping company to refresh the look of the property and provide regular turf management. In years past I had used a patchwork of different providers on different seasons at our previous residence (also Northern VA), and wanted to find one company that could do all the components under one contract. I contacted four different companies to provide estimates. In looking at the estimates, it seemed to me that J and J had really looked at the property, and made good recommendations for work based on our property, type of hedges and trees, and current condition of the lawn and bed areas. Some of the other estimates looked more cookie cutter, and in communicating with the various providers over phone / email I further got the sense that J and J had provided and estimate that best matched the needs of the property. So far, J and J has competed a Spring Cleanup consisting of weed and leaf removal, pruning, mulching, and establishing a dug edge to define turf from bed areas. They are also mowing weekly and operating a fertilization / weed control schedule. The Spring Cleanup was a good sized job, and we are really happy with the results. Their crew was out for three days at our property and did an outstanding job. They hand-dug the edge area between the turf and bed areas, and it looks great. The pruning and mulching has made a big improvement on the hedges / shrubs. I have had the opportunity to communicate with Mr. Jones, their operations manager who completed the estimate and has been the primary point of contact, Mr. Derrington, who founded J and J, and the crew who came to our home to do the Spring Cleanup. They have all been knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. Mr. Jones in particular has been really helpful in setting up the work specific to the needs of the property. If you are looking for a comprehensive landscaping company that can do regular mowing, a fertilization / weeding program, and landscaping, and want to support a local northern VA business, from our experience we 100% recommend J and J.

Work description: Very large property landscape and grounds renovation; hardscape construction. Donnell and his crew provided high quality work in a professional, timely and cost effective manner. Highly recommend.

J&J was an easy company to work with ; we're certain to hire them again when we need landscape assistance and service at our home! We hired the company to install a driveway and footpath in our back yard. The end result is highly functional and blends nicely with the existing landscaping. The owner of the company visited us to give the estimate; he came out the same day I called him, which was a nice surprise. The price was very reasonable and the company exceeded my expectations for timeliness and quality of work.

J&J sodded our lawn and performed fall clean-up. Our lawn looks phenomenal! The crew was courteous and extremely knowledgable about grading the lawn and placing the sod. Our shrubs also look spectacular. Our neighbors simply can't get over the transformation. Jamie, the owner, reached out directly throughout the process. Couldn't be happier! Will definitely use J&J again. They were extremely competitive in price and their work is exceptional.

We had a new porch, front steps and driveway installed. We hired J&J as our landscape team. James Derrington, president of the company, oversaw the project. He worked closely with the contractors and the irrigation company. The J&J team was extremely professional and knowledgeable. They went above and beyond to create a fantastic front yard. They completed the installation on time and when bad weather caused a delay, the install team worked on Saturday to finish on time. The team answered all questions and made good suggestions for adjusting the plantings to maximize coverage. The cost was exactly as proposed. We have hired J&J in the past and will continue to do so.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jamie and his team at J&J for about 6 months now. I recently purchased a property in Clifton that was in need of major landscaping work. Jamie and his team have done excellent job turning a jungle into a park so to say and I get plenty of compliments from all of my neighbors about the new look. They are professional, on time and do love what they do which translates into excellent job at reasonable prices.
