About Jays Landscaping
Sixteen years of showing up when we said we would.
Jays started in 2010 with one truck, a small family crew, and a route that mostly stayed inside East Tucson. Sixteen years later it's still mostly the same: same Jay on the truck, same number, same way of working.
We don't oversell. We tell you what the yard needs and what it doesn't. We pull weeds, repair drip lines, trim mesquites and palo verdes back off the roof, and clean up after the storm rolls through in July and August. The yard looks better when we leave than when we got there. That's the whole pitch.
If we say Tuesday morning, we're there Tuesday morning. The crew Jay sends are polite, on-time, and they don't leave a mess.

What we do — Tucson yards
Six things, done well, every visit.
We're a small family crew. We don't pretend to be a design-build studio — we're the people who keep your yard from getting away from you.
- from $120
Weed removal
Hand-pull and pre-emergent for the gravel beds, walkways, and DG. Done before they go to seed in March and again before monsoon.
- from $95
Drip irrigation repair
Find the broken emitter, replace the cracked line, dial in the timer. Most repairs done in one visit.
- from $180
Tree trimming
Mesquite, palo verde, ironwood, citrus. Pulled back off the house and roof, shaped to live through monsoon winds.
- from $220
Yard cleanup
Overgrown lot, post-tenant cleanout, or just months of neglect. We haul it off and leave the yard ready for a normal maintenance schedule.
- from $150
Monsoon prep + cleanup
Pre-season trim and yard-clear in June, post-storm debris and broken-branch removal July through September. Existing clients first.
Why people call us back
Polite, on-time, hard-working.
After sixteen years in Tucson the same three words show up in almost every review. They’re not the words a marketing department would pick. They’re what people actually say when a friend asks who they should call.
If they say Tuesday morning, they’re there Tuesday morning. The crew is polite, they work hard, and they don’t leave a mess.
Honest, fair, and reliable. That’s a short list in this town — Jays has been on it for years.
Jay was easy to talk to and we had a difficult tree to take down to the stump. He worked at it until it was done. No shortcuts.
That’s the whole pitch. Same Jay, same crew, same three words.
The Tucson monsoon list
What we handle before and after the storm.
Tucson monsoon runs roughly mid-June through September. The yards that do best are the ones we touch in the first week of June and again in the first week of September. Here is the actual list.
Pre-monsoon
First week of JuneGet the yard ready before mid-July.
Trim mesquite + palo verde back off the roof
Long limbs catch the first big monsoon gust and come down on the house. We pull them back 6–8 ft of clearance.
Clear the gravel beds + walkways
Old leaf-litter and tumbleweed turn into clogged drains the moment a storm dumps an inch in twenty minutes.
Walk the drip system, head to head
Find the cracked emitters, replace the chewed-through line, dial in the timer for July heat.
Stake or guy-wire newer trees
Anything planted in the last two years gets checked. A 60 mph gust takes out an unstaked palo verde first.
Pull pre-emergent weeds
Before they go to seed in the storm runoff. Saves a full season of spurge and spurweed.
Post-monsoon
First week of SeptemberClean up after the season runs through.
Same-day debris + branch removal
Existing maintenance clients first. We come look the morning after the storm — no waiting on a quote.
Inspect for split limbs + hangers
A half-broken mesquite limb will finish the job two weeks later. Better to take it down clean now.
Rebuild scoured gravel + DG
Heavy runoff carves channels through DG paths and gravel beds. We re-spread, tamp, and re-edge.
Reset toppled pots + lighting
Quick walk-through of patio plants, low-voltage path lights, and anything else the wind moved.
Plan the next round
Tucson monsoon usually keeps coming through September. We schedule a follow-up before the next cell rolls in.
Existing maintenance clients are first on the call sheet for same-day cleanups during monsoon. New clients — call before June and we'll get you on the pre-season schedule.

The neighborhoods we know by name.

Found the cracked drip line in twenty minutes. Other places quoted a full system replacement. Saved us a fortune.
