(198)

Long-running San Diego commercial and residential landscape company (DBA: JCMS) with verifiable 40+ year operating history, originally family-owned and operated out of La Mesa, then acquired in 2021 by the principals of Verde Equity Partners (Gabe Galvez and Jon Hamby) and formally rolled into the Verde Property Services platform in September 2023, where it now operates under CEO Tom Heaviland. The company's stated address is 4817 Palm Ave Suite I, La Mesa, CA 91942 (the La Mesa office per YouTube/Birdeye/MapQuest/Chamber listings); a former/secondary operational address of 8703 Cottonwood Ave, Santee, CA 92071 (per LeadIQ) is now listed as CLOSED on MapQuest. Juniper holds California CSLB license #716313 (C-27 Landscaping, Corporation) and per BuildZoom carries $2,000,000 liability insurance (BBSI), a $12,500 surety bond (Suretec Indemnity Company), and workers' comp via Falls Lake Fire & Casualty. BuildZoom flag as of Jan 2026 was 'Inactive/Cancelled' on the license despite current website/directory/business listing presence — this is one of the few HIGH-confidence identity records with a MEDIUM current-license-status data point. Services span landscape design (on-site consultation, sketch, SketchUp/3D rendering), installation (hardscape, concrete, pavers, walls, plants, water features, organic urban gardens, Modpools), and ongoing maintenance (backflow/irrigation, residential troubleshooting, commercial property maintenance). Notable permitted work in/near 92117 includes retaining-wall and outdoor-living projects, and verifiable completed projects span 92037 (La Jolla), 92110, 92119 (El Cajon), and Bonita; family-business roots mean Juniper's strengths run the full residential + commercial spectrum, including HOA and large commercial accounts acquired via the Verde platform roll-up (City of Santee, Escondido Schools, Helix Water District, Southern California hospital systems).
