A Small Outdoor Crew in the Sierra Foothills

JLS Outdoor Service LLC works out of Ione, California. Owner-run, small, and squarely focused on the kind of outdoor work that involves moving a lot of stone.

Jade

Owner · JLS Outdoor Service LLC

Jade owns and runs JLS Outdoor Service out of Ione. That means Jade is the one who comes out to look at your yard, the one who works out what it will cost, and the one on site while it is being built. Eric is on the crew as well, so between them you will usually be dealing with someone who was there from the first walkthrough.

It is a deliberately small operation. The upside is that nothing gets lost in a chain of people — you talk to the person doing the work. The downside is that we cannot be in four places at once, so sometimes the honest answer about a start date is “not this month.”

What we are genuinely good at is the heavy, patient end of landscaping: stone that has to sit right, flagstone that cannot rock, water that has to run where you say it runs, walls that have to stay plumb on ground that would rather they did not.

How We Work

Straight Answers, and the Site Left Clean

We would rather tell you something is not worth doing than take the money for it. If a fence only needs its bottom rails replaced, that is what we will quote. If a wall needs to come out and be rebuilt, we will tell you that too, even though it is the answer nobody wants.

Free estimates, no obligation
You deal with the owner directly
Base prep and drainage done properly
Debris hauled out, yard swept
Every photo here is our own work

The Process

Four Steps, No Surprises

1

You Call or Text

Tell us roughly what you are after. If it is not something we do, we will say so on the phone rather than waste your afternoon.

2

We Walk the Yard

We come out, look at the ground, the slope and the drainage, and talk through what is actually possible there.

3

You Get a Number

A straight estimate, free and with no obligation. If the scope changes once we are in the ground, you hear about it before we carry on.

4

We Build It and Clean Up

The work gets done, the debris gets hauled out, and the yard gets swept before we go. That last part is not optional.

Why JLS

What You Actually Get

No claims here we cannot back up with a photograph or a public number.

Owner-run

Jade quotes it, Jade is on it, and Jade is who you call afterwards. Eric is on the crew too.

4.6 from 22 Google reviews

Twenty-two is a lot of reviews for an outfit this size. The 4.6 is the real figure and we print it as it is.

Our own photos

Every image on this site is a JLS job, captioned as what it shows. Nothing stock, nothing borrowed.

Local to Ione

Based at 745 Preston Ave, working across Amador County and the corridors around it. We know what this ground does in July and in February.

Free estimates

We come out, look, and give you a number. No charge and no obligation to use us.

We haul it out

Spoil, green waste, old fence boards, stumps and offcuts leave with us. You should not be left with a pile.
