JWA Landscape & Concrete Construction

JWA was a pleasure to work with. We had a walkway, patio, and patio cover put in. I am very happy with the work that was done and appreciate the ease of doing business. I had a few small changes to request during the work and they were able to accommodate without issue. I would definitely hire them again.

JWA recently put in a new backyard for us. Like the first time we hired them, they did a nice job and were easy to work with. Highly recommended!

Phenomenal! Flawless work, on time with terrific customer support/​focus! We have not been impressed with other landscapers in the area – including Bushnell’s. So when we had a major project to convert our basketball court into an English garden, we were very careful to pick the best contractor. JWA came with great recommendations and now we know why. John & his team were everything the others weren’t – meticulous in getting every detail right, incredibly reliable and worked within our budget.
We give JWA our highest recommendation!

First off, let me say that I am usually weary when it comes to contractors. It always seems like they are trying to do less for more. But, with John and JWA it was the exact opposite. John actually came out to our house multiple times during the bidding process. We initially declined the initial bid, despite John’s friendliness and attention to detail.
Upon reading positive reviews on the company and mulling over the initial bid from John, I called him directly and told him we would like to move forward with the work. From there, we received an estimated completion date. The work to be performed at our house was rather extensive. We had to have massive tree roots excavated and removed before any drainage or concrete could go in. The excavation alone took 2 days, and over 20 hours of work. The concrete, new fence, and drainage were all done to perfection.
The rest of the process was seamless. Workers were at the house at 7 am, working diligently every morning. Every bit of work that was promised was done. John was even able to do some things we didn’t ask for like extra grass and rock in areas that we did not initially cover during the bidding process.
Overall, I would strongly recommend using John and JWA for any of your landscaping or concrete needs. John is professional and fair in his bidding. He likes to say, «I like to under promise and over deliver.» That statement just about sums up the work that was completed at our home. Thanks again John and JWA for all of the hard work.
PS– We liked John and JWA so much that we signed up with them to complete an «under the sidewalk» drain for us. That also come out perfect, as expected.

We had stamped concrete poured in several places in our front yard: extended driveway, stairs & courtyard and with Landscaping throughout. John worked with us to come up with a plan that matched our wishes but that also stayed within our budget. Anyone working with John will immediately tell that he takes extreme pride in his work and his bottom line is his customer’ satisfaction. John was prompt, diligent and always good with his word. He would often come (almost every time the crew was working) to survey the job. Would highly recommend JWA for your landscaping/​concrete projects!

We recently worked with JWA to redo our backyard. We started with somebody cheap in the beginning who didn’t have much knowledge to do the concrete in the right way, especially with sloped backyard. We called JWA to rescue. John responded quickly and showed us they had the expertise of doing concrete as well as landscaping, and with very reasonable price. We also looked two of the backyards they were doing in our neighborhood and witnessed that they do high quality jobs. John was also very creative for things that were specific for our yard and he always made himself available whenever we needed him. We were very impressed that they worked very hard to excavate the backyard and rebuilt the drains before they poured the concrete which eliminated the drainage problem we had had for long time. Thumb up for JWA’s excellent job and customer services!

I had JWA do a concrete drive way. They did it very professional job each day the job was cleaned up. The workers were very nice and polite. I was very happy with the job they did and I would recommend them to family and friends. Thank you JWA

We hired JWA for our backyard. We met with John a couple of times to tweak the design for the yard. During the walkthrough with John and Dave, the operations manager, we finalized the design and started the next day. From Tom, who installed all the new sprinkler system and took out a concrete patio and walkway, to Hector who layed the forms for new concrete, and the masons that put in our flagstone patio, I can only say they did a great job. My husband and I couldn’t be happier. We replaced what used to be a huge lawn area, with patio and a touch of lawn. John stopped by the house during each stage to check on the progress and make sure we were happy with the way things were going. The yard was finished two weeks early in time for our grandsons to visit from Oregon. I would not hesitate to hire JWA for additional work at our home.

We just had JWA complete their second project at our house in Granite Bay. The first project was about two years ago; It was such a pleasure working with Dave and the guys & we were so thrilled with the quality of work, that this time around we didn’t even get any other bids. We know they are reasonably priced, great to work with and make sure that their client is happy (or beyond happy!). This time around, we were again very happy with the whole process; from Dave’s consultation to the masons who were so precise with the beautiful pavers work. Next time we have a project, we’ll undoubtedly use JWA.

Many of our neighbors recommended JWA and we hired John because his creative designs speak volumes. He did our backyard patio over 20 years ago in the shape of a half moon with a few steps and the patio is still in pristine condition. Since we are getting older, it is much harder for us to access our plants on the hillside so we called him to put in two stone stairways on the hill, as well as two flagstone pathways. Additionally, we added a water feature and now our home backyard has become our home retreat, defining complete relaxation and a sense of peace. He places a lot of thought into the materials used to suit the design of the landscaping and the home. Once the weather heats up, we will be taking advantage of it all the more.
With ease, John captured our vision and put those ideas into reality. We now have a unique backyard and it is not a cookie-​cutter design. He works with your budget and provides several options to meet your needs. John has a sophisticated aesthetic, a great eye, and approaches his work with the utmost professionalism. I would highly recommend him for any of your landscaping and concrete needs. He is very approachable and patient. The JWA team is honest and they have a strong work ethic. I hope you allow the JWA team to bring joy to your home as they have done to ours.

John Anderson of JWA provided me with great service for my hardscaping and landscaping needs. I recently bought a home in El Dorado Hills which didn’t have extensive landscaping in the back yard. I met with a few landscapers and while some bid less, I knew as the old adage goes, «you get what you pay for.»
John sat with me for a few hours on two occasions to consult at no cost or commitment from me. I had a few estimates and some cheaper but John’s commitment to deliver and time showed me he is committed to providing high quality results for the homeowner. John put his best foot forward and gained my trust, I extended the rear yard project to him. Together and tapping into his experience, we collaborated and created a great concept which he just finished implementing.
John’s 20+ year experience in the landscaping and hardscaping field reassured me that I was working with a professional who understood my needs from design to implementation.
I highly recommend anyone in the market to landscape their front or rear yard to call John and speak with him about your project.

I wish I could say something nice about JWA, but me thinks not! From the non existent owner to the clowns selling and installing landscapes. Overpriced, poor quality, bad customer service. Need I say more! Do your research, look at their «current» projects and speak with the homeowners to see how they feel about JWA. Chances are they have no current jobs nor satisfied customers. Get 3 estimates and not one should be from JWA!

We hired them to put in a colored concrete patio and do landscaping. They did a horrible job with the concrete. It was all different tones and when asked to fix areas that the color had not taken they refused to stand by their work. It was a lot of trouble and we were very disappointed. We wound up having to pay for the cement costs to fix their mistake. Buyer beware, this company does not stand behind their work!

After having an incredibly hard time finding a landscape contractor who would either show up or follow up with a quote, I found JWA. I can’t say enough great things about Dave and his team!
They showed up when they said they would, gave a real written quote, had a real contract AND did a fabulous job!
We’re not flowing with money so we asked them to do the heavy work we couldn’t do. They cleared the yard, planted trees, wired the irrigation system and layed a new concrete walkway — all for a very reasonable price.
I would hily recommend JWA!

RUN, don’t WALK away from them! They do not listen to what you want! You will have a yard destroyed by them. We wanted a simple retaining wall with adequate drainage… Three years later we are still in a mud quagmire. My husband dug up what they did and guess what he found? Taped over, dirt covered, mud covered, TAPED drainage! They are too expensive with unskilled labor and you will not get what you want. Our stamped concrete was a mess too. We did not get what we ordered and after the fact, there is no way to repair the mess. We are going to have to redo it all. Find a contractor who hires legal people, who speaks your language, who understand what you want, get you a contract outlining what you want, and go with that. That this contractor «got religion» was not, after all, a selling point with us. The worst contractor we ever dealt with.
