We make sure you’re left with a product that’s STUNNING and built to last.
J Squared Outdoor was founded in 2015 and is located in Centerville, Ohio.
The name – J Squared – embodies our core values of Integrity, teamwork, and simplicity.
INTEGRITY: In the military, someone who is “squared away” is someone who has integrity, strong character and is properly trained. At J Squared, we believe in having a team that’s “squared away” and doing work that’s “squared away.”
TEAMWORK: Just as the name suggests, there is more than one J on the team. Since the beginning we’ve been firm believers in working together to make things happen more efficiently, faster, and smoother. Our clients consistently comment about how quickly we completed their project and how fun it was to watch us work. Our commitment to teamwork allows us to get your project finished in a timely fashion so you can start enjoying it sooner.
SIMPLICITY: We believe in keeping things simple. J Squared is a simple name that’s easy to remember. Simplicity is often overlooked as one of the nine critical design elements. We think simplicity is one of the most important elements of design and of business. It keeps things clean and it keeps people focused on what’s important and makes things easy.
Jeremy Swihart - Founder & Owner
About the Founder
“I started this business after 10+ years of working for other landscape contractors. I saw a need for a company that was transparent and put the customer first - a company that would communicate the vision clearly and present a proposal that was accurate. We do everything we can to plan projects thoroughly and avoid costly change orders during the project. When we show up to your project, we bring the proper equipment and a skilled team. We work quickly, efficiently, and with professionalism. I’ve seen many contractors draw projects out way too long. That drives me nuts. No one wants their project to take longer than it needs to and we ensure that it doesn’t.” - Jeremy
