It is sometimes hard to find good people behind a business. Johns Home and Yard service has excellent people working hard and doing an outstanding job. They have fixed the vinyl fence (two doors), reinforced our rotting deck, and they take care of the spring and fall sprinkler maintenance. Thank you guys for taking the time to do a quality job and not rushing through it just to get it done. You are always professional and polite. Your hard word is appreciated.

Horrible service for tree and shrub trimming as well as sprinkler repair. The 2 trimming guys had no idea what they were doing. They butchered my shrubs and left the trimmings in the shrubs as well as several dead branches that I asked them to cut off. The branches they actually trimmed were randomly cut in the center instead of back to the trunk. When asked to remove the dead branches off my apple tree that has fire blight, they said they were not qualified @ $86 an hour. This cost me $510. When I complained and had them come back they charged me an additional $226.10. I have never paid over $250 for twice as much work. My neighbor saw their and unfortunately hired them. She was just as unhappy and they also cut in to her drip system. The sprinkler repair was just as bad if not worse. I asked them to align some rotary heads and replace any popup heads that were needed, to make adjustments to compensate for whatever brown grass they saw. The 2 rotary heads I specifically asked them to align werent done but they did replace and charge me for several rotary heads that were working well and I did not authorize. Not only did they not correct for all the brown grass, I now have several new ares that are not getting water and the grass is dying. They also put in an addition rotary head were there was no problem and there is an underground leak that is so bad that I had to turn off the water to the entire sprinkler system. There are also 2 popup heads that have some kind of break in them and a third that appears plugged. When calling them today, at 652-8985, the call says it can not go through.

Last summer I asked for an estimate to clean out the yard and plan landscaping for a property I had just bought. I scheduled a time for when I was at work and said they could look at the yard, its fine. A day or so after that appointed time, I called to follow up. The person who said he was coming a few days before answered bluntly, what did you want, I said I was calling about the estimate. For what he asked. I said we talked a few days ago, and he said he didnt know what I wanted, and not in a nice way. It was very odd. I said, sir, you went to my yard for an estimate and you dont know what for? He started getting sarcastic, talkigng down to me Mam, I dont know what youre so angry about, basically implying I was a Karen for finding it odd that he went to a property for an estimate and didnt know why. I firmly replied pointing out how what he did and said made no sense. Then he came out with it, we cant get our equipment back there your property wont allow it. Heres the thing, thats all fine and well. Im not a big enough fish for you to bother trying to catch. Ok, whatever. It was the condescending attitude, and pretending I was the unreasonable one for wanting the estimate. It was really something. Its interactions like this that make me eager for a recession.

Always willing to help. When they get done with the maintenance my place looks fantastic

These guys and gals are great. They do work on our commercial building and my personal home. They are always very responsive and return our calls. David came out to our house and replaced some sprinkler heads and they work perfectly. David was very personable and wonderful to work with. I have an electrical business in town and understand that customer service is key. Thank you guys we very much appreciate you.

Well, for a company that wants new business, the way not to get it is by saying you are fully booked for that service.

I was out of state when dealing with Johns , but they made as simple as if I was there. My parents had reached the age that they could not water their lawn anymore.They install a system to control ditch watering pumps and zones.Problem solved..Mom says she loves you guys..

I used Johns Home and Yard Service for my winter sprinkler blowouts today. Scheduling was easy. David arrived on time, was professional, and thorough. I would absolutely recommend this team to friends and family for any landscaping. They are the best Landscaping Company in Billings. I look forward to working with them next year for my rental property.Thank You!

Absolutely wonderful people to work for and with. They do great jobs and dont stop until finish and done right

We are getting a new patio poured and have had John’s come out on two separate occasions to move either sprinkler lines or sprinkler control boxes. Both times I called and the phone was answered right away. They showed up ten minutes before they were supposed to be here each time. I wanted the same guy to come out the second time because he did such a good job. But, they sent someone else. The second guy was just as good as the first. I would post a picture if I could. It’s pretty damn impressive.

Have always taken care of our home & business maintenance!!

John’s was contacted yesterday by the Vice President of our HOA re a sprinkler issue in our back yard. A lilac bush was impeding the flow needed to water our grass.A gentleman named James came this morning to trim the bush and make sure water was reaching where needed. James was knowledgeable and professional in his assessment of our situation and did the necessary trimming to our bush. He cleaned up the debris and wanted to make sure we were happy with the results.We are grateful to have our water now going where needed to keep our backyard green. Thank you.

Called to setup an appointment to have sprinklers looked at. Was told to text them and they will schedule an appointment. I texted them my info and 2 days later still no response.What kind of business isnt able to easily schedule appointments? All you have to do is look at what day is available, and then say how about on _______ and then if agreed, you schedule it. With cell phones and the internet, and as a business owner myself, its incredibly simple to always have that capability at any time. Inexcusable this day and age to tell somebody on the phone uh Im not sure when we can get you in, probably next week sometime.

Mackenzie and Nick were excellent workers

Work was done in one day! Very efficient and at a good price. The sprinkler system works very well, no complaints. The system needed extra plumbing work but it didn’t seem to be a problem for them to figure out. Making the project stress free for me. Definite plus!!! Would advice and do.

Great service. This is the only place Ill use moving forward.

Ive had Johns home and yard come by to fix multiple sprinkler heads, remove and replace some lines, move heads, and do our startup and shut down. There has NEVER been a negative or unpleasant visit. Every single person that comes is friendly, knowledgeable, takes the time to show me things when I have questions, just an excellent experience all around. Johns home and yard deserves all of your business.

Knowledge and through. These guys hung in there on a very complicated install...well done!

John was great. Excellent attention to detail and a great job! Would highly recommend his services.

I have been a customer for many years and have always been extremely happy with all their services. Lawn care, tree and shrub trimming, landscaping (building garden boxes to my specifications and always filling them for me with wonderful local compost), snow removal, Christmas lights and even a few times they helped with some odd jobs. Jobs are always completed in a timely manner and on time, even with the epic snow we had this past winter, they kept my drive and walkways open!The staff are always friendly and respectful of property and clients (and our pets). Anytime I call in with a question or requests they are ready and willing to help!A great group of people!!!!

Joey Pruitt was excellent he explained everything to me. Great people to work with.A+++++++++

Some good 5-Star reviews posted. So, heres a 1-Star review. And no, its not easier to write a negative review than a positive review. Negative reviews are much harder because one really has to explain why so negative.I got into a very vocal argument with Johns Home & Yard Service owner, after I expressed disappointment about what I believe was very inferior work, at still a high price.I asked several times that the owner come to my home to see what had been done on a flower-bed preparation project. I said that if he really felt their work was proper, then I would say no more, but just accept it and move on. And then do the work myself.He refused to come to my home to look at the very poor, almost none, flower-bed preparation. He just wanted to argue more. So, thats the reason for my 1-Star review.It was more important to him to win the argument than to determine the truth. Potential customers should really document exactly the agreement before the work is started.

Extremely Happy with the Excellent Customer Service & Follow Up! A Professional Company that delivers on their estimates, scheduling, communication and amazing work! Always appreciate working with this Company and the pleasant people who are employed there!

Your crew has helped me non stop these 3 or 4 years and are great to work with. Your honest, quick, and get things done. I would recommend you to all and look forward to next season!Marla AndersonBillings

Long story short a window was broken in my wifes car. Johns landscaping was doing a job next door around that time. When I got home and noticed we went through all possibilities and after talking to the neighbor we concluded it was either a random act of violence or an accidental rock shot put from a leaf mower. My wife, alone, went and discussed this with the owner and his staff. She was treated beyond cordial and was met with a willingness to help WHEN NO PROOF OR EVIDENCE WAS OFFERED other then a timeline of possibilities. Without any proof John offered to cover half of a new window. My wife didnt complain or threaten or cajole to get her way. This was offered immediately and without malice. I run my own company and that kind of service to someone who is not your client shows a solid business ethic/character trait and and should be acknowledged. So I am. 5 Stars. And my neighbors yard looks spotless.

They always do a good job. In the winter they are so good about clearing the snow off early so we don’t have to drive through it.

David did a great job winterizing our sprinkler system today. Very professional and he offered a fair price for what he did. Will recommend to others.

Johns Home and Yard service provides lawn and snow service on several properties for me. They provide professional, timely, and quality service. On top of that they are amazing at communicating.

Johns Home and Yard Service is the best! Ive had them do everything, including mowing, power-raking, aerating, sprinkler service, snow removal, landscaping, building a deer-proof garden, and even bigger repair projects. Theyre wonderful! They are so nice and helpful, and their work is excellent. They are very cooperative. I highly recommend them.

I have had Johns for years and they do great work. They are always on time and call the day before to remind you of your appointment. They are nice people.

I called last minute for a sprinkler blow out. I was told that I had to be there for the appointment or my warranty was void. I didnt even know that I would have a warranty but I was pleased to hear it since two years ago I had a freeze break in my system and the company that blew out the lines denied all culpability. Carl showed up on time and did not waste my time. He was very thorough, running through each zone twice and filling out a pretty big checklist on his work order. I signed where he instructed. Im glad to have a company that is backing their work.I found Johns Home and Yard through a google search and saw their nearly 5 five star rating. I called them and a few other companies and found Johns to neither be the cheapest, nor the most expensive. Their price was in the middle and I found it to be fair, considering the reviews that were written.I thought since I had found the company through google reviews I had better leave one too. I look forward to working with them in the future.

Today I had Johns Home and Yard Service come to my house and complete my sprinkler relocation and line reroute for a project in my yard. I know, it doesnt sound like much but 24 hrs ago I didnt even know these guys existed.My landscaping company that I had used for years has suddenly decided not to return my phone calls knowing that I had a deadline to get this work done. I called Johns on a Monday afternoon, spoke to a very nice woman (Tiffany), and had an appointment at 8 am on Tuesday morning. Carl was on time and actually apologized for being late (maybe 3 minutes!!) and off we went looking at the job. Carl was professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable. He came up with a cleaner solution for the reroute and put his plan in motion.Within 3 hours the trench was dug, lines rerouted, sprinkler heads removed/replaced, back filled, and verified the zones were how they needed to be. There were two younger guys doing the work who too were completely professional and courteous.I cant tell you how satisfied I am by this work today. Ive already recommended them to a friend of mine who struggles with landscaping companies like I have. I called Johns and spoke to Matt to express my appreciation for their hard work and expediency. Please consider Johns for your landscaping needs.

Johns Home and Yard has taken care of the landscaping, sprinkler system and snow removal for my office for years. They do phenomenal work. Im so impressed that I hired them to do work at my personal residence. I highly recommend them!

I bought a home and the previous owner told me they used Johns. I figured it would be good to use someone familiar with my sprinklers and well pump so I called them. They came to service my system and it was ok, except they took a cap from my well pump. I used them again to flush the system at the end of the year. They disconnected pump electrical without telling me and ended up running over two of my sprinkler heads with their aerator. Their work is sloppy and careless for the price they charge. There are enough lawn companies in Billings that it isnt worth dealing with with. Id recommend using someone else.- So youve gone in and edited out the madness in your original response. Good for you. Im absolutely not comfortable with giving you my name. Youve clearly got some mental issues going on and I want no part of it. Ive not had a delinquent account with you nor have I used your services since 2009. I think it is enough to have relayed my factual review and stay away from you and your company. Thanks!

John’s Home and Yard Service is Billing’s best. Great customer service, they treat my home as if it were their own. I highly recommend them!

I have been using Johns Service for various things like sprinkler repair, aeration, power-raking for years and I even had them mowing for me after an injury. The crews they send are always a good bunch of guys, polite, professional and hard working. You really cant go wrong hiring Johns Home And Yard Service.

Very professional. My lawn was deficient so i hired this company to get my green lawn back, and they did. They always call before coming and very reasonably priced. They are very knowledgeable of yard care. Thanks Johns Home and Yard Service!

These guys make my life so much easier! We use Johns Lawn Service for fertilizing, shrub trimming, sprinkler service and line blow out, power raking and aeration. Theyve also done a beautiful major landscaping remodel and with their lawn maintenance program our place continues to look beautiful. We also use Johns Lawn for Spring and Fall clean ups. Last year I broke my heal and called up Matt to have snow removed for the season and it was a life saver. Ive signed up again for this winter!But, the very best part about Johns Home and Yard Service is all of the personnel that have worked on our place have been friendly, respectful and knowledgeable.

I have used Johns Home and Yard Service for a few years to blow out my sprinklers, and to fertilize/weed control. This spring I went to turn on my sprinklers like I always do and I had an issue... I was unsure what happened and after a call, Matt sent out one of his guys to take a look. I was worried that I was going to be stuck with a big bill for something they forgot to do last fall, but they came out, found the issue, and fixed it. They did this while it was raining and with a great attitude. I recommend their service.

These guys are the BEST! I can honestly say Ive never worked with any home service company that was more attentive to our questions and concerns. We had them rebuild a retaining wall for us that was pretty involved and I will definitely use them again for other landscaping and yard services. Everyone who worked on our project was very pleasant, helpful and professional. John was great about staying in touch by calling and stopping by and he kept us updated with the progress as well as the upcoming schedule. If I could give them a 10, I would!

I want to thank all of you for your reviews. It is much easier for someone to leave a comment about a negative experience they have had than a positive one. It means a lot to us to know how we serviced you and we are continually making improvements on our efficiency and methods to better service your needs. Thanks for your business and for taking the time out of your busy day to write those great messages !

Johns H&YS never ceases to over deliver and charge a MORE than fair price. My neighbors on all sides use their services. Their people are always polite, engaged and anxious to deliver. I have contacted Matt several times to sing the praises of their people, even saying whatever you do, dont do anything to loose this guy, he is unbelievable. Everyone who I have recommended them to has thanked me. Call them, hire them, you will NOT be disappointed.

I have no idea what the price is yet. But Im ecstatic about the great job done cleaning up our backyard from several years of debris. We just bought this house and clean up in the yard has overwhelmed me. But I was jumping up and down happy to come home from work to see so much done with our yard in just 4 hours!! Will definitely remember you guys!

Johns Home and Yard did everything that we needed to clean up from the long winter, leaf removal, cleaned up my gutters and even trimmed up my trees. My sprinkler system needed to be blow out and they took care of that and even fixed one of my broken heads from last year. They are extremely profession and their service was of the highest quality and would recommend them to my friends and family. Johns Home and Yard is going to take care of my weekly service this year not more rushing home to mow. Their professional service and because they are family owned they treat you like you are part of their family.

I cannot say enough positive after an acre-plus complete sprinkler, landscaping, retaining wall, and large water feature install. Very professional, prompt, and courteous. I cannot recommend enough!

John’s Home and Yard recently started mowing for my mom and her place looked absolutely amazing when they were done. They weeded and trimmed where the prior mowers had been leaving and just did a great job.

We refer Johns Home and Yard Service and have used them for personal landscaping and fall sprinkler blowouts. Great bunch of people. My daughter also worked for Matt and his crews this past summer and had a great experience --hard work, but great experience. Thanks to Johns Home and Yard for doing great work and employing our youth in Billings, Montana!

I called to have my bushes and shrubs trimmed. The girl that came and did the work was very nice, but the trimming job was great. She was very aware of what I wanted and checked in a few times to make sure it was to my liking.

Great job every time

He showed me where my valve was in my house and charged me $65 and I was fine with it. Asked him to make sure everything was working properly he was there for 10 minutes... still fine with it because lady on the phone specifically told me that I would be charged for an hour and if it didnt take as long I would still have the time paid for, so if I needed anything else Id have a credit. Thought great Ill use em for if anything goes wrong or getting blown out later on in the fall. Well needless to say my sprinklers were hitting my front door and I thought oh well things happen. Then I call them to have my sprinklers blown out and they tell me my credit with them cant be used for that.... just a horrible experience all in all. I know things happen but I just felt after everything that they took advantage of me and screwed me over. Ill go elsewhere for my blow out.

I cannot say enough GOOD about this company. THEY ARE THE BEST!Im noticing that this is under my husband, but Im his wife, and writing this review.This is where words just arent enough to me.... I cant thank them enough....A couple of months we were trying to get our regular guy with our other company to come out and get our sprinkler system up and running...well, when we finally got through to the office, the guy had quit the week before, and they had no one to send to us...all while our grass was turning brown....I am a stay at home mom and my husband works out of town most of the time. The night before I was able to get ahold of Johns Home and Yard Service, or Matt, we experienced a pipe break in our home...which broke in the ceiling of our basement and came streaming through a light fixture. I was telling Matt what was going on while choking back tears... So, home a lone with two young kids, a small flood on my hands, and knowing our sprinkler system needed a lot of work, a new timer, heads, and was basically, well, total crap... you can see I was on the verge of a serious meltdown. Matt came right away, checked things out, and he and his team were here the next day and were FABULOUS! With big smiles on their faces reassuring me they would take care of everything so I would not have to worry about a thing...Their kindness made me tear up....literally. I would recommend them to ANYONE. They came, worked fast and efficient, and most of all, fit ME into their jam-packed busy schedule when they could have turned me away. A++++++++++++++ from this gal!!! Seriously...HIGH FIVE GUYS!!!!!! :)Quality people, quality work. Lil cheesy, but true!!!

Nice people. I needed my yard cleaned up last minute; I am selling my house and had people coming to look at it. They squeezed me in the next day and had it done a few hours before the people showed up to view the house. It looked great!

Great to work with always kind and helpful

Always professional and courteous. I highly recommend them!

My neighbor received a landscaping estimate from Matt and was surprised to hear they only do work that kind of work hourly. He gave her an estimate of around 5k but told her to budget for 6k because of the unexpected. She called other places to get estimates and no other company even came out to look at her project. In the end, she decided to go with Johns. She loved the landscape they did but was afraid of the bill the entire time she was waiting for it. However, it was a delightful surprise when she received it for $3,800. I have always been protective of my elderly neighbor and afraid people would take advantage of her. Johns did exactly as they said they would, charged actual hours and supplies.Monday, with her bill came a series of fall letters with all of their services and reminders. She told me she already called and setup her sprinkler winterization, signed up for snow shoveling, and had Kenny trim her bushes. Good for you Johns, I have also called to setup my winterization. Its no wonder I see your trucks all over the place!

I would give this company 6 stars if i could. They are great at both lawn care and snow removal!!!!!

Always responsive to the customer they do great work.

I just started using the service this summer, but am very happy with the quality work I have seen. I am planning on having them come out next spring and do some quotes for landscaping.

The work is done well. If something isnt right theyll make it right.

Excellent service. Polite and knowledgeable service tech.

Excellent

We couldnt be happier with the outstanding work done on our yard; these folks are truly professional!

Reliable. Works with us with scheduling changes when needed with lawn care. Excellent service!!

Johs home and Yard service was hired to convertan driop systme manual to elctirc an fix a fountain. They gave no bid but an hourly rate. Teh technician I noticed spent a huge amount on the phone, I assume calling for assistance. There were two faucets. They worked for two days and on the third day the sprinklers and the fountain still were not operable so i asked them to discontinue. My bill with nothing working was over $1,000. I paid % approximately $700 of this bill, not the rest because they fixed nothing. I surveyed other companies who said the bill would be about $400 for two sprinklers etc. My daughter bot a new $40.00 pump for the fountain and it worked. One of the two drip system faucets was connected to an outside outlet that did not have electricity. The technician did not even check that outlet to see if it had electricity. so that was simply fixed. It went to small claims court, I was sick the day of the hearing so could not present my viewpoint. i ended up paying over $1,000 for absolutely nothing and my excellent credit was compromised.

Sprinkler blowout was on time, done to satisfaction, and for the price I was quoted.

This company provides the so-called service for the condo association where we live. We have complained about the non-working sprinklers, met with the managers and still the service is worthless.We have to water our own lawns because they dont/cant maintain the sprinkler system that draws the water from the Big Ditch. We asked for a proposal to replace/repair the lawn where there had been a water line break in February 2010. We are still waiting for the proposal.This company is absolutely worthless.

Not taking new customers. Bummer. I will remember that.

Did a great job and was always ontime!!

My parents have been using JH&YS for years with great results and so when my husband and I bought our first home we immediately called them to help us. The place was a landscaping wreck but Matt and his crew came out and turned it into a back (and front :)) yard paradise. They set up our spinkler system, cleaned out the beds, and trimmed our trees. They also got our lawn lush and beautiful using power raking and fertilizing, and they even remind me when it is time to fertilize again! JH&YS also provided full service landscaping with nice bark beds and beautiful healthy plants. I didnt really know what would work best (I definitely dont have a green thumb!) but they gave me choices of what works best in our climate and I could choose from there. We even got a small fountain installed and all of it at such a great value and done so much quicker than I anticipated. We have secured JH&YS for our weekly lawn service and I couldnt be happier! Thank you to Matt, Rhiana, John, and the crew for always assisting me promptly, expertly, and with a smile.

I had a large landscaping project completed at my home by Johns Home and Yard and they did a beautiful job. A huge item when I hire someone is that they show up when they say they will and these guys did. They paid attention to my vision and made it happen. I would certainly call them again for my next project.

Dont call them if you live in Blains Trailer Court. They dont come out there.

I just used the service to have my sprinkler system drained. reviews did not lie, this is a very professional service. The work was done right, they were on time and at the price I was quoted.

I had a very good experience with this company. They treated me fair.

Very prompt and friendly

Good people

Great service.
