From promises made and not fulfilled, to contract signing problems, to promises made and not kept, to lack of communication, and to some shoddy work, this was an extremely stressful experience. The cost was so extreme for the work done, that I feel like I was scammed, not just by Waterloo but also by the construction company, Laguna Landscaping, which Waterloo uses for landscaping and construction. Again, so very disappointed!

We loved our experience with Angelica and Matt and the entire OES team…read more After extensive research of Austin-area landscape architects, my husband (an architect) determined that OES had the most impressive project portfolio and approach. What he especially appreciated is that OES is about so much more than plant installation. They have skilled welders and carpenters on their team, who completely transformed our property. They took us from flat spreads of dying grass to outdoor LIVING spaces, inviting our family and friends to enjoy the Austin weather. Angelica and Matt bring expertise and hands-on experience to every project, large and small, and they also know how to listen to the needs and wishes of the client. Throughout the years, we have used them for three major projects: transformation of three yards (involving steel retaining walls and steel and wood pergola), design and installation of a custom steel fence, and a swimming pool with limestone patio, wooden decks, and custom steel gates. If a problem arose--such as the gate shifting due to shifting temperatures--OES was always quick to respond by sending someone over to correct the matter. We give OES our highest recommendation.

Although the…read moresize of the project was small, it involved several elements such as concrete, landscaping and irrigation work. Criselda was quick to respond and set up a time to come over and take a look. She was understanding, thorough, and quickly provided a quote. After much thought about our budget and our needs we ultimately ended up changing our vision on her! She quickly supplied quote #2, scheduled our contract meeting, and outlined the phases of the project. Her and her team were extremely communicative during the entire process. Always available, always on time, and always engaging. This was very much appreciated on our side. To CJ's Landscape & Design... Thank you for helping guide us through the concept and construction process, and always being ready to accommodate our needs. We love our new space! PS I'd also like to add, her and her team have been just as available after the completed work to answer any questions we had!

We are so happy with the job done we've already hired her to repair and stain our back patio. Could not possibly be happier!

AWFUL experience working with Amy Anderson. We hired Anderson Landscapes in October 2021, Amy came…read moreto our house, we discussed our ideas and wants and we got our 3D design a month and a half later. Folks, that design was so BAD that I struggle to find the right words to describe it without being offensive. My fiancé was so put off by Amy's design that he just wanted to take the $850 loss and walk away; he didn't even want to work with her to try to fix it, it was so bad that he didn't think it'd be salvageable. Most of the things that we told her we wanted were not included and those that were included were done poorly and carelessly. Not only did she ignore or forgot most of what we had asked her for, but what she did design was messy, barely functional and not aesthetically pleasing. Some examples of Amy's design: - Plants with huge thorns ALL around the walkways and existing pool - Stairs off our deck that dead-end into an existing privacy wall and trees (so you can't actually get anywhere). - Our only outdoor faucet completely blocked off. - We told her we were thinking about changing our back door for French doors - so in her design she changed our existing windows for French doors and left the regular door right next to it. - We told her we'd like to extend our deck, so she extended it and added two sets of stairs: the aforementioned set of stairs to nowhere and another set that ends about 6 inches from an existing concrete planter. - We told her we wanted to replace the palm trees we lost in the freeze, she ignored us. - We told her we didn't want Cypress trees, she covered our backyard in them. - We told her we wanted shade all over the exiting patio, she designed a pergola that covers only half the patio and with one of the support beams smack in front of an existing smoker. I understand that maybe she couldn't design the pergola we wanted if there were structural or permit constraints, but she didn't explain any of it to us and, to this day, I have no idea why she designed only a half-pergola. - We told her we wanted to xeriscape the side yard, she ignored us and didn't even include the side yard in the design. - We told her we wanted storage under the existing deck, she ignored us. - We told her we wanted an outdoor kitchen (with a sink, a Green Egg and storage) - she added a grill. I, not wanting to just take the $850 loss, emailed Amy with a long list of everything she missed or did carelessly. She was sort of apologetic and said she would re-do it and get back to us "soon". A month later I had to email her asking what was going on as I hadn't heard from her. She made up some excuse about the holidays and said she would have our design in two days. Four days later she did send the new 3D design and, while it wasn't exactly what you would expect from a professional designer, it was much better than the first. She said she would have the 2D design the next day - it's been 50 days. Three weeks after, I emailed her asking for an update. Then again the week after. And again. And again. You get the drift. She didn't answer a single email. I eventually called. And called. And called. You get the drift again. She blocked my number. It took about 50 (ignored) phone calls to two different phone numbers, texts and a couple angry voicemails to get Amy to finally reply. All she said was that they weren't going to bid on our project (as if I would work with them ever again), that she had explained that in her email from 50 days ago (she hadn't) and that if I had a construction company, then she would send THEM the 2D design. So here we are, 5 months after hiring Anderson Landscapes - our backyard is still a mess - but we now have a barely ok 3D design, a 2D design being held hostage and a shady company ignoring our requests for a follow-up. Oh, and we got to pay $850 for this hassle. If that's the experience you want when re-doing your backyard, then by all means, hire Anderson Landscapes. But if six months from now you'd rather be enjoying your backyard oasis instead of dealing with a mediocre, rude, shady company and googling "how to open a BBB complaint", then I'd recommend you stay away from Anderson. They do have some good reviews from years ago but I'd suggest you pay attention to the newer ones as something has definitely changed. There are so many landscaping/hardscaping companies out there, trust me when I tell you, it's not worth your time or money to take a chance on this one (and I wish I'd known that 5 months ago).

Wow! Very happy with Amy and her professionalism. I hired Anderson Landscape to do a landscape…read moredesign for our custom home, having not included one with the original build (big mistake on our part). Amy was on time, prepared, and was very considerate and engaging with my 4 yo daughter who insisted on participating in the design consultation with us. Amy listened to my ideas, took the time to understand what was most important functionally and aesthetically, and asked a series of follow up questions that made me realize that she has clearly done this many times before. She took measurements and photos and said she would have the design to me at specific date. All I had to do was send a survey plot. Amy's design was emailed when she said it would be, and was far better than I could have expected or imagined. The design was not a top-down, 2D mockup, but rather a 3D color, POV animated video walk through so we could see the design from all angles, including from the street so we could visualize the upgraded curb appeal. Amy also sent us the Texas guide for native and adapted landscape plants so we know exactly which plants to buy where to place them per the design, should we end up doing the installation ourselves. All in all excellent service. Highly satisfied. Strongly recommend.

I had earlier…read moreindicated that the roots from the shrub removal were still visible and was informed that the root balls had been extracted and that this was sufficient. While I was setting up Christmas decorations, I observed that one of the bushes has begun to regrow, which seems to be regarded as a miracle since the root ball was supposedly removed! Additionally, I noticed that a considerable portion of the newly installed concrete slab is distinctly discolored due to inconsistent or improper mixing. Unfortunately it seems I will have to resolve this through our court system.

I have used Bioscapes on three major projects and have been completely satisfied with the results…read moreof their services that included meeting with me and helping me with the designing and planning of each project. The project included a complicated French drain that started in the far side of my backyard and extended down the fence line of my property and emptied into the front lawn. The second project, which occurred a couple of years later was to install new sod in my front yard. The most recent project was to replace existing grass from one side of my yard and replace with gravel and step stones. None of the projects were simple one day projects. In most cases the jobs were 2-3 days of hard laborious work for the workers. Speaking of the workers. Pete Facundo is the director of the Bioscapes projects. Pete has always been honest, patient and a professional to work with. His employees are well trained and skillful in the performance of their work. They are respectful and courteous to their customers and their neighbors at all times. I would not hesitate to recommend Pete and Bioscapes for your landscaping project.

He even gave me tips for planting our own flower beds (which we did to stay on budget). The work was also done more quickly than expected.

Nicolas was extremely fast in responding to my initial requests, where other companies failed to respond at all. Nicolas helped me size up the scope and helped flesh out the ideas I had for changes to make. In addition to our stone hardscape they also installed a french drain to ease the pooling problems we were having. We had such a good experience, we had him come back and rework a section of our front yard to replace some old pavers with a more modern look and additional plants. He even went out of his way to put my old pavers up for sale and brought the money made back to me! All around great service and very communicative. I would recommend to anyone looking for landscaping help or inspiration. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. I can't recommend enough!
