JV Gardening and Landscaping Inc. provides a complete range of landscaping services for residential and commercial clients throughout the Bay Area. The company utilizes its in-house design and construction capabilities to handle every phase of its customers’ landscaping projects, including specialized installations like outdoor lighting, artificial grass, and irrigation and drainage systems.
Owner Juan Lopez attributes much of JV Gardening and Landscaping’s success to its company-wide commitment to communication. “We understand that top-notch service and communication go hand in hand, so we always stay in contact with our clients during their projects,” he says. “They really appreciate seeing how their jobs are progressing and having direct access to experts who can answer their questions.”
JV Gardening and Landscaping prioritizes quality control in every aspect of its operations, from the initial design process to the finishing touches. “We love collaborating with our clients and tailoring our services to meet their preferences,” says Mr. Lopez. “Also, since I personally stay involved in the landscaping process and work alongside our crews, I’m able to make sure everything meets the highest standards of quality."
“We want each customer to be completely satisfied with their project, so we use industry-best products and installation methods to give them the landscape they’ve always wanted. By focusing on one project at a time and prioritizing details and reliability, we’re able to produce high-quality, long-lasting results.”
When designing your landscape, be sure to account for the impact of changing seasons.
A well-designed landscape isn’t just about looks—it should also be designed to withstand seasonal changes in weather and temperature. Even if a landscape looks and functions great in the summer, it may not fare so well in winter if there are unresolved issues like poor drainage. Also, certain landscape features may pose a fire risk during hot, dry weather. That’s why, when designing your landscape, it’s important to consult a professional who can assess your property and make the proper recommendations.
Wet weather concerns
Certain factors can make a landscape more susceptible to winter-related problems like flooding and pooling, which can lead to soil degradation. Your designer will need to identify potential problem areas and take appropriate preventive measures. These may include regrading sections of the landscape, installing a retaining wall and/or putting in a French drain (a piping system that collects water and redirects it to a different location). There are also smaller steps that can help improve drainage, such as using gravel for plant beddings and permeable pavers for hardscaping.
Hot weather concerns
With the persistent threats of drought and wildfire looming over much of California, it’s important to consider the impact of summer weather when designing your landscape. Since lawns require a lot of water to thrive, consider an alternative, drought-resistant design for your landscape. You should also ask your designer to incorporate fire-resistant elements such as rocks/hardscaping and fire-resistant plants.
Not all landscape designers are well-versed in incorporating both water-saving and fire-safe measures, so be sure to look at their prior work before hiring. An experienced, forward-thinking designer will be able to create a design that addresses these crucial concerns without sacrificing aesthetics.
Maintaining customer satisfaction is a key component of any successful business, but it’s even more important for landscape contractors that have earned Diamond Certified. For JV Gardening and Landscaping Inc., the key to keeping clients happy is putting customer service at the forefront of everything it does. “Simply put, we’re very nice and easy to work with,” says owner Juan Lopez. “We always deliver top-notch service and help our customers achieve their goals without a lot of hassle, which they really appreciate.”
JV Gardening and Landscaping has been providing landscaping services for residential and commercial clients throughout the Bay Area since 2007. The company’s in-house design and construction capabilities allow it to handle every aspect of its customers’ projects, including specialized installations like artificial grass, irrigation and drainage systems, and outdoor lighting.
Unlike landscaping companies whose owners delegate project management responsibilities to less experienced employees, JV Gardening and Landscaping provides every job with the hands-on expertise of Mr. Lopez himself. “As the owner, I stay actively involved in all aspects of the landscaping process,” he affirms. “There’s no better way to ensure quality than to be present and involved with every job, so that’s what I do.”
Ultimately, Mr. Lopez sees JV Gardening and Landscaping’s company-wide dedication to communication as one of its most important attributes. “We take a lot of pride in our communication, so we always stay in contact with our customers and keep them in the loop about the progress of their jobs,” he says. “If they need to contact us for any reason, they know we’re a quick call, text or email away.”
