Juddy Watson and Jeremy Arthur of J&J Earthworks (434-826-9646, jarthur@jjearthworks.org) were instrumental in helping Renee and me, and several neighbors, clear our driveways and walking paths after the January 25th snowstorm. These Nellysford-based guys have heavy equipment to handle excavation, grading, driveway installation and repair, hardscaping, etc. I recommend them highly. Submitted by Paul Garver. March 2026

We highly recommend Alex Hicks or Hicks Lawn Management, 434-987-3489, who has been doing landscaping and other jobs for us for years. Alex takes on any landscaping job and completes it masterfully. He is reliable, punctual and flexible about scheduling when the time is best for his clients. Alex also plans to provide snow clearance for a few clients during the snow season.

Taylor Tree Service - 434-531-4734
During our recent ice storm and freeze, I contacted three companies to plow the snow and ice from my driveway. Only Matt Miner of Taylor Tree Service (434-531-4734) was able to do the job. He brought a tracked front-loader that moved the ice out of the way. His price was reasonable for the amount of work involved. Submitted by Robert Peirce. February 2026
We had a great experience with Taylor Tree Service (Matt Minor; 434-531-4734). We had about $4,000 worth of large and medium size trees removed (a total of 11) in September 2022 by Matt and his staff. They had a crew at our home for two consecutive days and after each day they cleaned the area thoroughly. A nice touch. Their work was timely, completed in a quick time frame after we agreed on a price, and well executed. I will be using them again and I am highly recommending them to others. This job was bid out with three contractors; Taylor Tree Service was the low bid. Excellent work at an excellent price. Submitted by Scott Meardon. October 2022.
