"Recently, Mauricio Rios became owner of SweetGrass Landscaping Solutions LLC. My wife and I consider ourselves lucky to be among his clients, since we have benefitted from his landscaping skills and professionalism since last January. In January JC Landscaping Solutions installed for us their signature walkways made of rectangular paving stones in two shades of gray. They are gorgeous. But, before they could do that, they had to complete the removal of a huge oak tree in our front yard which was infested with carpenter ants. The company we had hired for the job made a mess of it. They managed to destroy our front sidewalk and some bushes and pull down two power lines. WhenJC Landscaping came to our rescue, the stump was five feet high and a huge portion of the trunk lay on the ground. JC Landscaping, with Mauricio as foreman, finished the job for a very reasonable price in five hours. So, we first saw Mauricio welding an ax and operating a stump grinder. We also found that his English is excellent. The company then installed a new sidewalk after removing tree roots which had caused the old one to buckle. As the result of Mauricio's careful supervision, we now have a sidewalk leading to our front steps which is not only beautiful but LEVEL. Next came a connecting walkway which leads to a wheelchair ramp and curves to 17 stepping stones that lead to a lower garden.This was more challenging. The rectangular pavers are straight. They do not bend. Cutting the pavers and fitting them together to make the walkway CURVE up to the wheelchair rampant then CURVE to the steps required great patience and skill. With Mauricio's supervision this was done successfully and the result is beautiful. JC Landscaping also removed the wheelchair ramp, which had seen better days, and built a new one. After that, Mauricio has supervised the planting of grass, the laying of mulch, weeding, mowing, etc. Growing new grass during the hot summer months was difficult, but, as the result of persistence and cooler Fall temperatures, the new grass is healthy and beautiful. As a finishing touch, Mauricio recently installed a tall spiral wind spinner where the oak tree once stood. It puts on quite a show when there is the slightest bit of wind. Mauricio's new company, SweetGrass Landscaping LLC, will now continue for us the fine work done under Mauricio's supervision by JC Landscaping Solutions We couldn't be more pleased. Joe Kitchen"

"Brayan tore out some old, uneven pavers and leveled and installed new ones for me. He also built a small retaining wall to bring the space together. His work was excellent and he was very responsive throughout the process. He was able to start the work within a couple weeks of stopping by for my estimate and it only took him 2 days to complete the job. Additionally, the cost for materials and labor was very fair. Heâ s a wonderful person to work with and I will be recommending him to others."
