this year our lawn has been the best it's ever been, all to the change in companies doing the applications - JK and his team are great - give them a try, you won't look back because the results to a beautiful lawn are with JK Outdoors! - - now on to Fall and Winter, have a nice holiday season everyone!
This is a new year, So it looks like it starting to be a good year. Your guy showed up and did a good job. I was very happy with your guy's last year, hope everything is as good as last year. THE MOWERS CAME TODAY, THEY DID AGREAT JOB, AM VERY PLEASED WITH JK SERVICE. PEOPLE, ALL I CAN SAY IS CHECK THEM OUT. STILL…
We have been very pleased with our services. The company is extremely responsive when we’ve inquired about issues with our lawn. I haven’t seen that from other companies. We always get a call back or an email reply very quickly. I would certainly recommend them.
Well done and professional
Great service and communication with us to tell us when they are going to treat our lawn and after treatment to tell us what was done. 6 STARS!!
Just started using them but they were on time and efficient. They notified me a day in advance so I could have the gate unlocked and then sent me a notification afterwards to let me know exactly what they did. The season is winding up but they still come when they say they are and do a great job.
The person who did the service did an excellent job to ensure he covered all areas of the yard. Would be happy to recommend your company.
The grass is greener, stronger, and growing at a faster rate. I strongly recommended Outdoors by JK!
My wife said that the gentleman was very thorough with the spot spraying for weeds.very pleased
Great service. I’m a new customer and the process was so easy to get set up. They were quick to respond to my inquiries and were able to fit me into their schedule with the services I was looking for
Always great service This is my 2nd year with jk Have almost no weeds a lawn looks great
Another application down and our yard hasn't looked better - the team advises of when applications will be done and they have never been late or not shown up - great team to work with - Last year they did our landscaping project and will start doing our irrigation maintenance at the close of this year.
JK Does a great job, and takes care of any problems, and is very reasonable price.
Grass looks amazing!
We’ve had a fantastic experience with Outdoors by JK. Their communication is excellent—you always get a quick response, which makes everything so easy. They’ve also been incredibly accommodating with any special requests. We originally had new sod installed that looked really rough—brown and full of visible seams.…
Excellent communicators, and great job servicing my lawn.
Like always, JK gets the job done. They do excellent work and on time!
Called early in the week to start weed and fertilizer treatment and to aerate the lawn. They were out here a few days later!
Had a different company the last two years and switched to JK and after even just two treatments am SO PLEASED! My law is already looking so much better! So glad I made the switch!
Outdoor by JK has transformed my yard with their multi-step lawn treatment program—it’s never looked better. Their professionalism stands out, and the convenient, hands off online set up and service updates makes everything seamless. Hands down the best choice for lawn care I have found! Use them!!!
Great company!
I appreciate the communication from Outdoors by JK. They provide a message 24 hours before arriving to the property and then provide details of the work completed immediately after completion. Highly recommend.
Super great company to work with for all your lawn care and irrigation needs. They take pride in their work and always do an excellent job! AND, their prices are great too! I would highly recommend.
Outdoors by JK has been fabulous to work with. They provide excellent service. I would recommend them to everyone.
These guys are priced competitively, timely, responsive, high quality, and helpful — all attributes I am looking for in a lawncare company. Jake has been great. Highly recommend!
The JK team got our job done on very short notice, and it was perfect! Saydee and Jack are great to work with and we're very happy. Highly recommended!
I went with JK for my lawn and landscaping. We have them doing custom pavers for our outdoor covered patio in about 6 weeks. Got bids from 3 groups and liked Jack the best. All the bids were about the same from 3 reputable groups. I liked Jack, who I believe is the owner, personally bid the job. He was super…
The brothers, Jake and Jack run one of the best companies I have worked with. I had them do a large outdoor remodel and also my irrigation services and the service/support has been exceptional. Their responsiveness is second to none and have always treated me fairly. I could not recommend them more.
Second service and we couldn't be more pleased! It's great to be able to see the weeds disappear!
We have used Outdoors by JK for fertilizations and weed control for a couple of years now, and we've had a great experience! Our lawn looks healthy and the weeds are minimal. We pre-pay for 5 applications and the prices are very reasonable.
Timely service, and friendly applicators. Helped spray weeds when asked.
Outdoors by JK is the real deal! I signed up for their lawn program and they were out the very next day to treat my yard. The results have been amazing, and now my lawn is weed free! Outdoors by JK and their team truly transformed my yard and made it look better than ever. Fast service, great results, and awesome…
We are so pleased with the work performance from Outdoors by JK. Jake and his team were courteous, thorough, personable and professional. We had a two-person team expertly trim overgrowth and weeds, hauling away everything they cut. I definitely recommend Outdoors by JK for all of your outside needs.
JK always takes care of our lawn, irrigation system and answers any questions i have. Great people and grear service!!
They did a great job. My flower beds looked so good when they were done.
I am happy with the service of Outdoors by JK. I have the same person who comes out each time so he is familiar with my yard. They are reasonable and easy to work with. They email you and let you know when your next service is and you send you an email with an invoice you can pay online. I am not a phone…
I am very impressed and happy with choosing JK. My quote for services was returned right away and when I accepted, they were out the next day! We’ve had companies in the past spray our yard for weeds and fertilizer but they took their time and I am very happy we went with them. Will recommend to others!
