About Jay

Jay Martinez is a small businessman/landscape professional serving the greater Sacramento region since 2013. He currently resides in Orangevale, CA and grew up in Sacramento county.

Jay knows the meaning of hard work. During college at Sacramento State, he worked part time stocking groceries at night, and worked with his dad shoveling wheelbarrows of dirt, installing grass for residential homes. Not working during college was not an option for Jay. Jay would later use his experiences to qualify for his contractor’s license, and ultimately founded JVM Landscape.

Due to his almost ten years of service, he was awarded by the California Landscape Contractors Association as a State of California Award Winning Contractor. His company was also recognized by their local Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, who awarded his company the Certificate of Distinction for the many successful landscape projects done in Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado Counties.

His commitment to community service is evident through his involvement in various organizations, including the Orangevale CPAC, Citrus Heights Water District Customer Advisory Committee, and the Sacramento County Republican Party, among others.

Jay received his BA degree from Sacramento State, and won the prestigious Nammour Symposium academic award during his time there. He lives in Orangevale with his wife Vanessa, and their two children, Jonathan and Emily. In his free time, he likes to stay physically active lifting weights, hiking, wine tasting, and attending church and church functions with his family.

Jay Hopes to earn your vote in 2024. Stay Tuned for more details!
