Design & Installation
“James Martin Associates performed and completed all the softscape and hardscape around my home. They performed and completed the large project in a timely fashion and with the utmost professionalism. Tom Bolas is a knowledgeable spokesman for the company and truly understands the process with a keen eye to make each project successful. My home required a great deal of precision with heated, bluestone walks and porches, large retaining walls of boulders and significant softscape. The crews of James Martin Associates show up on time, are courteous and most importantly put in a solid days work. I would recommend James Martin Associates without reservation. It is wonderful to be associated with this company. ”
“Dear Heidi and the entire team: Thank you very much for an amazing transformation, so far, of our home. It truly makes a difference to hire someone that is knowledgeable, experienced, professional, and truthfully, brilliant! This is your calling, Heidi. You have made this part of the project easy and seamless and you really, “get it and get us!” I will be passing along your name and company to all and have already told the builder to recommend you to his clients. Every day I am so thankful that we made the right decision and went with you and James Martin Associates for our landscaping. Thank you, thank you!”
“Just wanted to let you know that our backyard turned out so well. We are really enjoying the new space, and you gave us just what we wanted – privacy, low maintenance, great views from indoors, and year-round interest. We’re very happy with the look of bluestone, the pergola, and the lighting. Our neighbors are just as happy as we are and so are the birds. Thank you for the good ideas and for the good work in making them a reality.”
“We couldn’t be happier.  The entire experience was all positive and exceeded our expectations. Thank you to everyone.”
“Many thanks to the entire James Martin Associates team. We have been thrilled with the updates to our front and back yards and found your team to be talented, friendly, and hardworking. They were a pleasure to work with and we look forward to working with you all again on future projects.”
Residential Maintenance
“We love how our yard looks. Â The team knew just what to do to bring it under control and make it more beautiful.”
“James Martin Associates LISTENS to their clients. They never take their customers for granted, and they genuinely are concerned with customer satisfaction. Work performed for this review was annual spring cleanup maintenance plus some add-on tasks. Their knowledge, attention to detail and flexibility in adjusting their work scope is really appreciated. They always leave the property clean and in excellent condition, and they watch carefully for “hidden” hazards such as sprinkler heads and landscape lighting wires. They always have a site supervisor who can communicate clearly in English with the homeowner, so any issues can be handled in a timely manner. James Martin Associates is on top of their game, and I highly recommend them to any residential customer who cares about their property, and wants to be treated with respect by their landscaping company.”
“Your staff has always been responsive and we look forward to continuing working with them to enhance our landscape.”
“We just received our contract for maintenance services and are looking forward to seeing the crews return to care for our yard and garden! JMA has been maintaining our residence for years and we are excited to continue our relationship for many more to come.”
“Thank you for the nice work on our front yard. We appreciate your nice design and the plants chosen. It’s a pleasure to work with professional people and we appreciate your efforts in moving the job along.”
Commercial Maintenance
“I look forward to signing on with James Martin Associates next year. [JMA] has exceptional service and professional response to the needs of my company. I have worked many years in landscaping and I appreciate your help and expert service I have received from both landscaping and snow removal.”
“The bosses here are pleasantly surprised by the service [JMA] is providing compared to the previous landscapers. Your guys were here fertilizing – this was always in our previous vendor’s proposal but we were always hard-pressed to prove if it was ever done. Keep up the good work.”
“We worked with James Martin Associates over a three year process to spruce up the entrances to our site. It turned out really nice! [JMA] did a very nice job with the plan.”
“Thanks for your prompt response in our request to do the edge for the Gurnee facility. The job looks great and we are very happy to do business with you.”
“Many thanks to you and your crew for the incredibly beautiful flower boxes of greenery, berries and twigs. I have heard so many favorable comments and we are very proud to accept them.”
Snow Management
“I just wanted to thank you for your leadership and ask that you pass along a big thank you to your team for all the hard work they do to keep us safe here as we maneuver past the mounds of snow and tread lightly across the parking lots to get into the center. Their efforts do not go unnoticed. This year has been a true labor of love and their dedication is evidenced by the clear paths we are fortunate enough to walk.”
“I would like to thank your crews for their exemplary services this season thus far. I understand the accumulation is not near previous levels, but during each instance of snow or ice, our lots have been free from both.”
“I got here at 6:45 am and your crew had all the lots plowed and salted and were working on the sidewalks and entrances. Please express my thanks and appreciation to all your plow men and shovel crews for a job well done!”
“Everything has been fantastic – I appreciate that the expectations are very clear. The communication between the office and me is also accurate. If there will be any delays or schedule changes they let me know in advance.”
“My manager wanted me to pass along how much he LOVES you, your service and crew. The two guys who are here on a constant basis during the big snows work very hard to get everything up. When we need them to do something a little special, they do it gladly and without complaint. We are VERY HAPPY with the service from JMA. Thank you again.”
