Just moved to Saint James and had RJK do a fall clean up on my new home. What a fabulous job! My yard looks amazing and Luke and his crew couldn’t have been nicer! Thank you, RJK, for making my home look so welcoming!

We’ve been using RJK for 17 years. We wouldn’t consider using another company for our landscaping or masonry needs. Not only is their work amazing - their workers are the nicest people, every single one of them. Rich, the previous owner was always wonderful to work with and Adam & Laura who took over the company are incredible people. They live… right in St. James and always give back to the community and even took care of St. James Elementary for years. When my Mom moved to town I had no question who was going to take care of her property. Rich and Adam checked out the property

What a great company and breathtaking work! My landscaping and backyard have never looked so beautiful. Everyone from the office staff to the landscapers were knowledgeable, respectful and extremely professional. I would recommend them to everyone. So happy with this company !

Went through a long list of landscapers who were cheaper.... was replacing garden hoses, well covers, patio planters etc on the regular. Tried RJK at my husbands encouragement and couldn't be happier. Have never broken or damaged a single item on my property, always great work and leave everything where they found it or better ... and when I'm entertaining and call the very last, last minute for a "quick cleanup"- kitty always makes sure they come and make my yard tip top shape even when she says "she can't promise me they'll find time"... absolutely love
