About Us

J&M Landscape Services is a full service landscaping design, construction and maintenance company serving the island of Nantucket, Massachusetts. We offer professional services from dedicated, knowledgeable owners who work hard to communicate with our clients.

In order to gain an understanding of your precise landscape requirements, an onsite meeting is the most direct way to communicate. We will be happy to meet with you when you are on Island or visit your property per your request.

Our year-round, full-time staff is increased in the busy season, to accommodate all of our clients and their needs. We recruit students from landscape programs of various universities.

In 2007 the company was awarded with Honorary Medal of the University of Forestry, in recognition of its contribution to the practical training of the students and successful cooperation.
