What We Do

Stone, Water and Green Things

Ground-up yard builds and the hard landscaping that holds them together.

Landscaping Backyard planting bed of red bark mulch with new shrubs and a young tree, flagstone stepping stones, and a low stone-faced wall along a weathered fence

Landscaping & Yard Design

Planting beds, mulch, stepping stones, lawn edges and the grading underneath — laid out so the yard still looks right in five years, not just on handover day.

Walls

Curved segmental block retaining wall terracing a front yard up to a two-car garage, planted above with a flowering crape myrtle, ornamental grasses and shrubs

Retaining & Stone Walls

Dry-stacked natural fieldstone, segmental block, and boulder walls — built to hold a slope and to look like it belongs on a foothill property.

Water

Water Features & Waterfalls

Waterfalls, stream channels and ponds built into the grade, edged in river cobble and stacked stone so the water looks like it found its own way down.

Broad irregular flagstone courtyard in warm tan and peach stone with dark mortar joints, edged by a river-rock gravel bed beside a grey stucco house — **Flagstone Courtyard**Irregular tan and peach flagstone set with dark joints, running flush to the porch steps and edged with a river-rock bed.

Long low dry-stacked natural stone wall in gold and rust Sierra fieldstone curving along the edge of an asphalt driveway, backed by a bed of grey-green crushed rock — **Dry-Stacked Fieldstone Wall**Gold and rust foothill fieldstone laid by hand along a driveway edge, with a grey-green crushed-rock bed behind it.

Crew member working from a tracked lift bucket high in a stand of tall pines, chainsaw dust drifting through the sunlight, with bucked rounds and logs stacked on the forest floor below — **Pine Removal from the Bucket**Working from a tracked lift up in the pines, cutting down in sections, with the rounds bucked and stacked on the ground as they come.

Dry creek bed of hand-set cobble edged with green crushed rock running along an asphalt drive, beside a graded decomposed-granite bed and a young Japanese maple ringed with boulders — **Dry Creek Bed, Mid-Install**Hand-set cobble forming a dry creek along the drive, a green crushed-rock edge, and a young Japanese maple ringed with boulders on freshly graded decomposed granite.

Large oval above-ground pool with a stone-look resin frame and metal entry ladder, set beside a timber deck, filled and still, with golden grassland and a sunset behind — **Above-Ground Pool, Filled**A large oval pool set dead level beside a timber deck, ladder in, water in, looking west over open grass at sundown.

Meet the Owner

Jade

Owner · JLS Outdoor Service LLC

JLS Outdoor Service is Jade’s company, run out of Ione and working across Amador County and the corridors around it. Jade quotes the work, is on the job while it happens, and is the person you call afterwards if something needs looking at. Eric is on the crew too, so there is a good chance you will meet both of them.

Most of what JLS does is heavy, fiddly, outdoor work — moving stone, setting flagstone so it does not rock underfoot, shaping a creek bed so the water runs where you want it, getting a wall plumb on a slope that would rather it was not. The shortcuts in this trade show up two winters later, so we do not take them.

We are not rounding the 4.6 up. It is the real figure, and after twenty-two of them it is an average worth trusting rather than one good week.
