I love my new landscape that Jay and crew provided. My landscape needed various areas refreshed. I asked for safer pathways, fix drainage issues, and low maintenance, deer proof, drought-tolerant plants, as well as a privacy screen of evergreen hollies. Jay listened extremely well and we discussed a way to approach a design that we could add to as the project went along. I was willing to "let go" of some things I thought I "needed to keep" and very happy I did so. I let Jay use his designer eye and trusted him. As we proceeded it became clear that I wanted an extra crushed granite path and seating

Highly suggest Service First. After dealing with several different companys in Milton/Alpharetta, Jay finally finished our overall landscape design and made it a finish yard. Jay paid close attention and responded to all questions and concerns. After a month or so, we lost a few trees due to the excessive rain. A single email was sent and the dead trees were replaced. I cant say enough about this company and service.

Service First Landscapes recently provided a drainage solution to help prevent storm water from entering our house. They also built a stone staircase up a slope in our backyard and installed aluminum edging for the pathway leading up to our backyard. The workers were all professional, courteous and hardworking, and paid a great deal of attention to detail. We found owner Jay Barnes to be a good listener, intent on providing well thought out landscaping solutions at a fair price, completed on schedule, and achieved with a high level of professional care and attention to detail.

We had Jay and his team for different jobs around our house from fixing a rain water drain pipe, laying new grass sods to to remodeling the walkway with flagstone. Jay was very responsive to our ideas, listened and made good, practical and nice looking suggestions. He wasnt trying to sell the most expensive solutions but made suggestions that were reasonable, worked very well and added a beautiful touch to our yard and house. His team worked fast and thorough and was always friendly. A big thanks to Jay and his team!

This is the second time using Jay. We were so happy the first time and just as pleased with the work done this time. Both times Jay was honest on talking me down on some things I wanted to do. The first time we used him we were getting ready to put our home up for sale. He told me to do just what needed to be done because the people buying our home may want to make changes. This time I wanted to put a pretty stone wall where we had erosion going on. He talked me into something cheaper since it was in an area we wouldnt see or visitors coming to our home. We dont have a lot of privacy so
