JSL Landscaping started in 1985. In 2007 we incorporated and became JSL Landscaping & Maintenance, INC.

Hiring a licensed contractor gives you the peace of mind that the contractor is operating a legal and fair business according to industry standards.

We cannot quote your project without a design. Besides a professional landscape plan helps to ensure that everyone is on the same page, leaving less chances for lost details or miscommunications. Overall a detailed plan leads to your satisfaction.

No, we will use designs by other companies as long as they are to scale. However, when you use our experienced professional design services, you will be able to visualize your projects with computerized pictures of your landscape in multiple growth stages. Additionally, once you contract us to create your design, you own the design and can bid it out or if you use our contracting services, we will discount the design services by 50%.

A general design for a small project is $500 (up to 8,000 sq. ft.). A general design for a large project over 8,000 sq. ft. is priced at $.07 per sq. ft. Additional design options and renderings are $250 each.

Yes, it is in your best interest as well as ours to have a signed detailed contract before any work begins on your property. Our contract will explicitly outline what we will and will not do and specify the payment terms.

We usually start within 3 ñ 5 weeks after you approve our proposal, sign the contract and make your deposit.

Smaller projects may require only 3-4 weeks, larger project 6-12 weeks. The contract will stipulate how long your project will take based on your selection of components.

No problem! We can include a scale design that you can submit to your HOA in our proposal.

Yes, please email us through our contact page request a free estimate and provide general project details including the square footage of the project area. Do not include the square footage of your home or any landscaping that will remain as is. You may also call us at 707-426-4738. Please note that these free estimates are subject to change once the project is assessed on-site by one of our staff.

Mark the areas to be landscaped into squares and rectangles. Then measure the length and widths of each area and multiply the length by the width. ie: a width of 75 feet by a length of 40 feet deep would be 300 square feet (75 x 40).

We require a 10% deposit to secure your schedule. When we actually break ground we will ask for another payment equal to ‡ or 1/3 of the total project. Other payments will be due at other milestones in the project and/or the balance at the end of the project. All payment schedules will be outline in the contract. We accept personal checks.
