Getting to Know Jay Ratto & J. Ratto Landscaping

We were excited to sit down with Jay Ratto to learn more about the passion, history, and heart behind J. Ratto Landscaping- and what has kept the business thriving for more than four decades.

What inspired you to start your business?

“I always enjoyed working outside when I was a teenager-lawns, plants, anything hands-on. I’ve also always been a hustler and motivated to make money. Landscaping just felt like a natural fit.”

What do you love most about serving the local community?

“Working with residents and clients who all have different ideas and needs, and then providing them with a finished product they truly love and get to use. There’s something really rewarding about completely transforming a space.”

Fun fact or unique detail about your business:

“We’re a family-owned and operated company. I started this business 43 years ago, and now having some of my kids involved- and seeing how passionate they are about our clients and the future of the company is an incredible feeling. Knowing they want to carry on the legacy means everything.”

How did you first hear about The Daley Agency?

“I honestly can’t remember 100%, but I believe I met Matt at a LINLA event. At the time, we were notified that our insurance rates were going to increase significantly. We gave Matt the opportunity to review everything, and we never looked back.”

What made you decide to work with us?

“Overall, the answer is Matt. Meeting with him personally as the owner of the agency and seeing his focus on protecting my company at a fair price made the difference. He never oversells insurance and is very honest about what coverage we do- and don’t- need.”

What services or products do we help you with?

“All of our insurance needs. They also provide guidance when entering contracts with larger builders that have complex insurance requirements, and they offer honest feedback to ensure we’re protected without being pushed into unnecessary coverage.”

How has The Daley Agency made an impact on your business?

“They make our day-to-day operations easy. From reviewing contracts and managing detailed commercial requirements to issuing certificates and policy copies- while protecting our sensitive information- it’s a huge relief to have that support.”

How has The Daley Agency made an impact on your business?

“We feel like we won the mega lotto of insurance!”

Would you recommend us to other local businesses? Why?

“Absolutely. Matt and the entire Daley Agency team make everything insurance-related as easy and stress-free as possible.”
