“Adam was quick and easy to work with. He understood how quickly I needed to get my house on the market and went out of his way to ensure it was done. Adam kept me updated every step of the way.”
“Adam did a great job in getting our house ready to sell and explaining the process to usl. I would highly recommend him.”
“Adam was great to work with! He was very responsive with the million questions we had no matter the time of day. We are very happy with how smooth the process was!”
I live out of state and I was selling my late father’s home. Jeff even helped shovel snow since I couldn’t get anyone to watch the house. He always makes himself available and he was so helpful. He made the process easy and less stressful. I would highly recommend him! -

After showing us great patience during the search process, he sold our home in a day! He took care of everything along with walking us through the process. Answered every question and followed through with what he said he was going to do! We could not be happier! Best of the best, thank you Jeff! - Laura and Jim Sykes Jeff

FROM DREAM TO REALITY: TRANSFORMING YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE
By Michaela Feldmann
“It's important to have a dream space.”
Ruby Sebastian
For many of us, the summertime brings more time outside, often in our own backyards.
“We know just how important it is to spend quality time with our family and friends,” says Ruby Sebastian, manager at J&V Landscaping and Housekeeping.
For Ruby and her family, that meant clearing an area around their shop and installing a patio, equipped with a built-in fire pit.
“It’s all about creating memories and that space is perfect for relaxing with our family,” Ruby explains.
It’s a feeling they hope to recreate every time they come into a new space. Whether you’re starting a patio from scratch or adding on, J&V has you covered.
"We did a project last year where the customer was looking to extend their existing patio and connect it to where their hot tub was, making one big patio space," Ruby shares. "Another customer built a shed and wanted a space outside of it to work."
Others may be escaping the dirt and mud in their backyard.
“We hear a lot of people talking about making their lives easier or tasks more practical. Maybe it’s their kids or pets tracking in mud. Maybe they don’t to care for the landscaping in the back,” Ruby adds.
Ruby says they also see a lot of people adding walkways, especially during the summer months.
“A lot of times these are on the side of the home because they’re using the garage or they need to easily move their trashcans. Instead of seeing mud and cuts in the grass, many people will choose to add a walkway. Again, things that make life a little easier.”
From walking the space with you, to helping you choose the materials, to input on designs and colors, the team at J&V Landscaping is with you every step of the way.
“It’s all about finding out what the homeowner likes and putting that together for them,” Ruby says. “Sometimes they want something simple and straightforward, other times it’s more intricate, colorful and inviting. There are so many different designs you can put together.”
Especially with paver patios and stamped concrete. Ruby says while they still do a lot of concrete patios, they’re noticing a shift in the trend to something a little more unique.
“The paver patios give us more options,” she explains. “We can do different shapes. Now, that does take a little bit more time because that involves cutting the pavers, but you have more flexibility to change the shape and design.”
Looking to add a fire pit to your patio space? No problem.
“It’s just another space to gather around and build those memories. If you’re looking to have a space where even more people can come together, we can do seating walls around the fire pits and patios. Again, it’s creating that outdoor space that brings the home together,” Ruby shares.
One way they help create that dream, is through collaboration with clients.
“We love some inspiration photos and ones of the existing area, too. The more the merrier. Then we hop on a call, see how we can help and come out and finalize everything to make your dream a reality.”
And having a space you truly love is what matters most.
“You are going to be spending the time out there,” Ruby says. “If you put in a space that you don’t like or you’re not a fan of, you are not going to use it. We want them to be proud when they walk out there, show it to all their friends and family and gather to entertain, relax and create memories. That smile, that joy, that satisfaction means everything to us.”
