    Great experience having Robert and his crew fill in our sunken living room. They were on-time, courteous, and really took the time to get the job done right, including listening to my concerns. The job came out great, and they'll be my first call for future projects. Thanks, guys!

    6x5 & 9x9 poured in half a day

    They returned my phone call promptly and came out for an estimate very quickly. The job was done well, we're happy with the results, and I was pleased that they also buried a couple of hooks into one of the pads they poured for us, so we could tie down things that might have a tendency to sail away in the high winds we sometimes get in the backyard. The crew was very polite, they worked like crazy even though it was BLAZING hot back there. Robert (the owner I think) is everything Austin, if you've read any other reviews yes he does show up in bare feet, but he was wearing a mask (for covid, if you're reading this a year from now and are like "a mask?") and that's all I really cared about. I read a review here someone wrote a few years back that mentioned that "Robert doesn't do phones", he definitely does phones now, was quick to call me back every time I called (but I guess it's email he doesn't "do" now, I mean, if it's his own business, he can "do" whatever makes him money I guess). We still went with these guys because of a neighbor's very high recommendation and photos, along with all the yelp reviews. The price quoted was fair, the work was done well, and very quickly. It's always good to know someone who does good work, we'll be calling them again.

    Driveway widening by ACC

    I found Austin Concrete Construction years ago on Yelp. We had them bid on a project we never ended up doing. It had nothing to do with their bid; we simply sold our home. Fast forward a few years, our new home needed the driveway to be widened. You could not pass two cars if one was in the garage and another in the driveway, despite being a 2-car garage. Robert came out to the house in his signature barefoot attire. We walked through the project, he took some measurements and told me he'd be in touch with a quote. The quote was reasonable, given how thick and strong the concrete had to be (support a diesel truck). He gave me some upcoming dates and we locked one down. Robert has been specializing in residential concrete for Austinites since the 70s. His son and two other employees have been with him since the early 90s. They are a staple in our community. And for good reason. They arrived on time (8:15 AM) and ready to go. They had the form and rebar ready to go by lunchtime. The concrete truck showed up at 12:30 and was gone by 1 PM. The finishing work and forms were removed around 2:30 PM. As promised, this was a 1-day job for exactly what was quoted. They walked me through how the new section was reinforced and attached to the existing driveway. They also helped slope it to drain water properly. Despite being towards the side of the property and abutting the fence, they still did the finish work on the sides of the new slab. Best of all, they helped accommodate our 8-month old daughter's handprint into the concrete. They thanked us for our business, cleaned up every last bit of debris, and were on their way before 3 PM. I have nothing but great things to say and recommend you use them for your concrete needs. The price is fair and the work is exceptional.

    Old Driveway

    Robert and his crew are the best! Way back they installed paths and a patio in my backyard. Their work stands the test of time and still looks great! I needed to redo my driveway and knew Robert was the one to call. Every time it rained my driveway flooded and I had to wear high water waders to get to my car and mailbox. Robert studied the situation and figured out a way to redo the driveway so it would drain and not need pumps. The original driveway had not been installed using rebar and had gradually sunk in the middle and that's where the water pooled and spread. Robert is an expert craftsman and his crew is very professional and polite. One of his men, Michael, went out of his way to help me find keys I had dropped! Robert is the only one I'll call for my concrete needs!

    Riding a trike on the new concrete

    Home ownership is a blessing that comes with many special joys & burdens. Unless you're an old school renaissance man like my dad, you as a home owner must eventually face the crap-shoot of hiring someone (if you're lucky, an honest & skilled craftsman) to build or repair something on your property. Unfortunately, we have learned the hard-way on several occasions that on any kind of home improvement project you undertake, something can & will go wrong. It's going to take at least twice as much time as you thought to complete (because the workers will only show up every 3rd day), it's going to cost you twice as much money as you had budgeted, and the final outcome is going to be below your original modest expectations, which by this time, you will have thrown out the window, willing to accept just about anything to get the dang project complete so that you can once again use that part of your house and get back to life-before-the-project. We'd been living in our home for about 6 years before we finally had the courage (and savings) to undertake our biggest home improvement project to date -- getting a concrete driveway installed. All these years, we've been driving, parking, and walking on caliche (dusty white rocks, for you non-geologists) every day, twisting our ankles and tearing up our high heels (okay, that was probably just me), and creating dust clouds with every pass in and out of the yard. With the arrival of our son, we knew the day was coming when learning to ride a tricycle would require a smoother surface, but so many bad experiences with contractors and handymen made us dread the prospect of tearing up our front yard. After doing extensive research online, with Angie's List, and with friends in the building industry, we selected 3 businesses to come out for bids. Of those, Robert Russo of Austin Concrete Construction gave us the best price per square foot, offered better materials for reinforcing the slabs, and promised (weather permitting) to be finished in a week. It was a rare pleasure to deal with Austin Concrete. Robert was true to his word and personally supervised the job. He was first to arrive and last to leave each day, and except for the couple of rainy days, he and his crew were working on our driveway every consecutive weekday until the job was done. He helped us design the best layout for the 3,800 square foot project, and his decades of experience were an advantage when foul weather meant shifting priorities and activities of the workers dealing with such an unforgiving medium as fresh concrete. We got a kick out of watching Robert pad around the yard each day in bare feet, like some kind of Zen master who was communicating with the earth and the concrete, coaxing it into doing his bidding. If you look at the website and see a shirtless, gray-haired man working a machine that pats down wet concrete, that's Robert. He's gotta be over 60 (70?), but his upper body is ripped from the hard physical labor he puts in at his business. He owns and manages the company, but he's out there getting dirty & sweaty with everyone else. He's the kind of man who pays a fair wage and has no trouble keeping a reliable team of employees. Bonus: My two year old son was in awe of the cement mixer trucks and all the other machinery, and Robert & his crew were very patient with him. Robert even set up a play area so that our boy could do some of his own work smoothing out some cement.

    Concrete arriving...
    Delia S.

    I was given Robert's name from a friend who had had a few patios poured by Austin Concrete. He came out and gave me a quote the next day and even hipped me to the fact that I could increase the size of the pour and it would not cost much more since you pay for the concrete by the truck load. My patio was in the back of the house, a good bit away from the driveway and I thought that would mean renting a concrete pumper, but to my surprise, all of the concrete was brought in by wheel barrow and Robert and his crew of about seven quickly and efficiently trucked the concrete in and had it professionally finished in just a few hours. Robert uses a sturdy mix of a rebar grid and a thicker layer with extra reinforcement around the edge. It blends seamlessly with my existing patio and I am so happy with the result. The price was very reasonable and I will definitely trust Robert and crew with my next project. Trust the barefoot concrete guy with your next concrete job!

    The new patio for our structure.

    The bare footed Robert and his crew have always completed solid work for our property. This is the second time we've had them complete work for us and we will not hesitate to call on them again for more concrete work. Robert and his crew offered input to improve upon our ideas and honestly executed while staying on budget. One of the crew accidentally broke some of our (inexpensive) yard art and quickly let us know so that we were not surprised. It was an honest mistake and we appreciated the communication. This is a good crew that completes good work on time, and within budget.

    Whitney F.

    They did a great job with our drive way and some stairs around an existing patio! Very professional and nice crew. They made suggestions on how we could make things look better and graded the driveway so it drains really nicely. Would recommend to anybody and would use them again.

    Austin Concrete Construction did a great job expanding my back 10' X 10' patio to a 10' X 20' new patio.  Great crew and job!  Recommended!!
    Duane S.

    I found out about Austin concrete through a Google search and saw the many Yelp reviews so I thought to give them a call for a free quote. Robert was easy to deal with and gave us an estimate in person a day or so after my initial phone call. After I approved the quoted price, he set an estimated start date of about 10 days or so. A few days later, I received a call on Sunday afternoon asking if he and the crew could start the project on Wednesday. That was earlier than expected, but I was happy to get my 10' X 10' back patio slab flattened and increased in size. The crew started the work around 0945 and the cement truck showed up at around 11:30. They removed a portion of my fence to ease in the back and forth wheelbarrow trips with cement and they replaced the fence upon completion. From start to cleanup, it was roughly 4.5 hours. Everyone worked well together as I had taken many pictures throughout the processes as I was walking around during the whole patio transformation. I would recommend Robert and his crew to anyone....they were easy and friendly to deal with.

They handled the full transformation: Texas native plants, fresh sod, irrigation, lighting, a new patio with poured concrete pavers, a pergola, and decking built around our above-ground pool. The result feels intentional, cohesive, and well suited to both the climate and how we use the space. We worked with their designers to develop the plan, and that process was smooth and collaborative. They listened, had good instincts, and were happy to iterate with us until the design felt right. From first contact to breaking ground took about three months, which felt reasonable given the scope. Once construction started, everything moved fast--the entire project was completed around two to three weeks. Most importantly, we're extremely happy with the outcome. The yard is beautiful and dramatically more usable than before. Jason and Nikk were a pleasure to work with throughout: friendly, proactive, communicative, with good taste and a strong sense for design. I'd happily recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their outdoor space.

While all the companies, including Southern Landscaping and Design, were nice and responsive, I feel the need to share our experience regarding their pricing. The quotes we received from the first three companies ranged between $9,000 and $11,000, which seemed reasonable for the scope of work. However, Southern Landscaping and Design came back with a quote of just over $28,000--nearly three times the amount of the other bids. I'm sure they do great work, but this level of pricing feels excessive and difficult to justify. I wanted to share this as a heads-up for anyone considering them. It's always worth getting multiple quotes to ensure you're paying a fair price.

He's always quick to respond, enthusiastic about the projects, and takes a real pride in his work and making sure things are done in a way that will last. We did a complete backyard overhaul and transformed it from a bare mud pit to a backyard oasis that we now love spending time in now: new sod on half the hard, paver patio and crushed granite on the other half, limestone retaining wall and mulch bed on the back wall, drainage, and irrigation through out. We had an old and non functioning irrigation system that we inherited from the previous owners and rather than just ripping it up and charging us for a new one, Aaron spent hours servicing and getting it to work, and then customized it to work with the new yard layout. We also had some freak of nature downpour of rain pretty soon after the big project was complete, which washed away some of the granite and caused the patio to settle with some dips. Aaron came back and fixed it all and added in additional drainage to keep it from happening again. Aaron is my guy forever now - extremely fair on pricing, honest, full of integrity, thorough, and just an all around nice guy. You won't be disappointed if you choose to work with him.

I did a lot of research on artificial turf companies servicing the Brushy Creek area and after some shopping around, came across Umesh and KG Lawn Care. After receiving some ridiculous quotes from some of the "bigger" artificial turf companies, offering a lower grade of turf for a substantially higher price, I went forward with the project with Umesh and KG Lawn Care. Umesh took on my project of installing approximately 1000 sqft of artificial turf, metal edging, and black star gravel around some cypress trees. Roughly a month before starting, I expressed to Umesh my desire to have the project completed in time for our family's annual crawfish boil, which he assured me he would fulfill. I can't say enough positive things about Umesh, Lucas, and their crew. As we neared the date of my family's party, Umesh assured me that he would push to make the deadline, even with unpredictable central Texas weather. Umesh not only kept to his promise in finishing the project in time for our party, but also knocked it out of the park! The artificial turf looks incredible and instantly became my daughter's favorite place to play. Umesh and his crew put a level of detail into the project in ensuring every aspect was perfect for my family. As pleased as I am with the project itself, the most noteworthy aspect I want to highlight in this review is how Umesh does business. In a world where so many are looking to cut corners, charge more, and provide less, I found that Umesh is a man of immense integrity who keeps to his word. Umesh delivered on his promise to ensure my yard was immaculate for my family's party, but most notably, his promise on pricing. A day before our turf was set to be installed, Umesh was notified by the turf company that the turf we picked out was no longer available (with zero warning). Umesh was forced to upgrade the turf at a difference of nearly $800. I offered to split the difference with Umesh but was told: "Nah man, it's all good. I like to keep my word and pricing. It's not your fault." This really struck me that Umesh was willing to eat $800 in order to keep his word with me on pricing. KG Lawn Care exceeded my expectations and truly helped me complete my dream back yard - The quality of work and character of Umesh will have me recommending him and his company to all my family and friends!

Agreed if he would guarantee job would start on the 20th. He agreed and said would arrive 9-10am. After no arrival or contact on the 20th, texted at 10:20a asking ETA. Rec'd text back "No way today...too wet. Will dump trailer and be ready tomorrow. Dump site is soaked". Had rained previous night but areas in scope of work were easily accessible. Umesh texted would arrive "10ish" Thursday, 5/21. Received text at 5:43am on 5/21 that he needed "to reschedule wasn't able to dump trailers. Rain is about to kill us". I texted back that we had not received any further rain and he would need to call me to reschedule. Received text back requesting to start Monday it was a "bad week too. Everybody needs off with school ending". After reminding him that Monday was Memorial Day, Umesh replied to start Tuesday. I reiterated that if our job was not started Tuesday and completed by Wednesday, he would need to cancel job and refund deposit. Received text from Umesh this morning (5/26) at 7:30a that he would have to refund deposit "don't have help today. Got backed up". Supposed my refund will be credited to original form of payment within 2 days. We'll see if he follows thru on this since it appears his word means nothing and he only says what he thinks the customer wants to hear at a given moment. Very disappointed in his lack of business ethics, communication and follow thru as we were originally very happy with the work he did for us last year. Would definitely NO LONGER RECOMMEND KG Lawn (or now ATX Outdoor Upgrades).

On the way home one month or so back, there was a PRT crew working in the neighborhood and it motivated me to reach out again. They quickly replied through Yelp once I sent them a message and the estimator was here in a couple of days for an estimate and to provide guidance. He was very helpful in making the decisions we choose. We pretty much revamped our entire landscape. New Sod, removal of old sod and installation of zero scape/natural flat stones/gravel. Replanted all the beds, reworked sprinkler system and a massive trim out of existing shrubs and the sort. Not inexpensive, however they were still less expensive then another service, who suggested such things as a French drain, which really didn't make sense and came in a couple grand higher. The crew were numerous and were on time, courteous and knocked out the project in only a few days. One slight slip was the sod was not available on the last day, so we skipped a day and had the job completed the day after. It still was in the time frame they informed us on to begin with and let us know the day before the sod was to be installed. The result of their hard work will be truly noticed when the new plantings take hold. We have been fortunate with having several days of rain and cool weather. A couple of weeks in the sod has taken hold and none of the plantings have died and are all perking up from the transplanting experience. We are very happy with the results and the ease of working with PRT from start to finish.

    PRT did a great job creating a backyard patio area and walkway to where we store our trash bins…read more They also created a pathway in our front yard all with concrete pavers and basalt gravel. We absolutely love it! The crew were super polite and professional folks working through extreme heat over two days (super quick imo). They did a cool underground drainage features with our existing gutters that I'm excited to see workout when it rains next. They truly did a wonderful job and picked up after themselves and even hauled some leftover rotten decking we had for us. Super appreciated and can't wait to reach out to PRT in the future to help us with refreshing our flower beds. They do have a bit a wait but you receive quality results it's definitely worth it.
