J-N-D Company, Inc.:
Landscaping with a personal touch

Written by: John Rankin
Do you know the difference between an emerald green arborvitae and a golden arborvitae? Would a nandina be a suitable ornamental shrub for your house? Is there a way to know how a landscaping scheme will look before you sign a contract with a landscaper?
If you’re considering landscaping work for your home or commercial property, there’s sure to be some uncertainty during the planning stage. That’s why you’ll benefit from the personalized services offered by J-N-D Company, Inc.
J-N-D is a design-build company providing commercial and residential landscaping services throughout Delmarva. Whether you’re considering work for your home or business property, J-N-D can make your landscaping project a success with personalized service from start to finish.
Located in Princess Anne, Md., J-N-D was founded in 1985 by the company’s Vice President, George Kemp. “J-N-D is a three-generation, family-owned business with almost 60 years of experience in the nursery industry,” said Kemp. Since 1985, the business has grown in both staff and the scope of services offered. The company’s resume includes landscaping, walkways and steps, driveways, walls, patios, ponds, fountains, irrigation systems and outdoor lighting. If it’s landscaping or hardscaping, J-N-D has the experience and resources to complete the project to your satisfaction.
Although capability is a factor to consider when choosing a landscaping firm, personalized attention during the planning phase is key. “We spend a great deal of time with our customers discussing plants and materials, tailoring the project to their vision,” said Nancy Brimer, J-N-D president.
A long list of happy clients speaks to the company’s commitment to customer satisfaction. “Our highest priority is to ensure a customer’s satisfaction and their enjoyment during the process, from design to plant selection and project completion,” added Project Manager Dustin Brimer.
J-N-D uses a unique software program to show the client specific landscaping options before the work begins. This amazing software uses a photograph of the client’s property and then overlays the individual landscaping elements being considered one-by-one. By clicking and dragging images, which can be sized larger or smaller on the screen, the client can see how the finished project will appear. This step-by-step visual process shows how each landscaping element affects the scheme, making decisions easier during the planning stage.

“When people view the landscape software, their first reaction is usually, ‘Wow! That’s my house!’”
said Nancy. “They really appreciate seeing what it looks like now, and then seeing it change right before their eyes into what it can become,” continued Nancy. “It’s fun to take the laptop into a client’s home and swap different plants and layouts on the screen until we come up with just the right look.”
During the planning process, J-N-D helps the client select suitable shrubs and plantings for the project based on soil conditions, water and sun requirements. This expert guidance comes from years of experience in landscaping on the Delmarva.
The company’s success is due largely to long-standing and close working relationships with the area’s contractors, developers and architects. J-N-D’s clients include hotels and condominium buildings in Salisbury and Ocean City; business and medical offices in Salisbury, Berlin, Easton and Seaford; school complexes in Worcester and Dorchester counties; and highway plantings throughout the region. The same personalized services offered to residential clients are also offered to commercial clients.
With springtime approaching, J-N-D stands ready to help its clients plan their landscaping and hardscaping projects to complement their vision and budget. You’re invited to call J-N-D to discuss your ideas during a no-cost consultation.
“What sets us apart from other landscaping companies is the time we take to offer our clients a personalized touch and the expertise and attention to detail that follows,” summarized Nancy. “We want to know their likes and dislikes, and make their landscaping dream a reality.”
