We started with a backyard that was essentially unusable--mostly dirt and dead grass--and ended up…read morewith a space we actually want to spend time in. 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.

My husband James and I reached out to four different landscaping companies for a bid on a project…read moreto add gravel, place some rock along one side of our driveway, and fill a large bald spot on our lawn. 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.

Jaylyn gave me a reasonable quote for Zoysia and was thorough in explaining yard prep, tilling lawn, adding top soil before laying sod. Pretty much everything on my check list! I was impressed with their efficiency and quality of the job. Always a bit of trust on referrals but rest has to be earned. Very satisfied and would recommend this company.

We hired this crew to redo a neglected area around a large, mature live oak in our backyard -- it…read morewas just bare dirt and old, deteriorating plastic edging when we started. They pulled out the old edging and replaced it with metal edging, brought in fresh dirt and pea gravel, and installed an irrigation line to keep things watered going forward. We also had them plant two jasmine we had in pots, and they patched in new grass around the edges where the old digging had left bare patches. The end result looks great -- clean lines, good drainage, and the area around the tree finally looks intentional instead of neglected. The jasmine and grass patches have taken root well. Jaylin, the foreperson, was easy to work with and responsive to our input throughout the job. It was a small project but he treated it with care, especially working around the tree's root system.

Do not use this company. They seem to have gone out of business!…read more We hired greg to landscape our yard in December. Greg finished the job and was supposed to come back and finish a few parts of the job that his team didn't do correctly (loose decking, broken fence post, incorrect light fixtures). However he just vanished and stopped responding to all my texts and emails. I hope everything is ok and it is sad if they actually did go out of business, but the way greg handled this was cowardly and highly unprofessional. I am very disappointed and feel that he took advantage of us.

Best of Texas not only helped us put it all together, but they executed it so well.

My personal background is one of a certified project manager, so I am trained in all project phases such as planning, executing, monitoring/controlling, and closing. When I began the work relationship with this company, agreement was reached to ensure we both were on the same page for this project. Excellent customer service continued with the use of open communications. Each crew demonstrated impeccable skills throughout the many phases. It was refreshing to see time efficiencies as well as high quality standards within each phase of the work. Perfectly timed was the delivery of all heavy equipment and various materials. All my expectations were exceeded as I watched the details within the processes. I am most proud of all the crews employed with the end result of supporting many families. This project was a job well done and I am thrilled to be a referral for this company! L. Dickey

His quote was very precise on exactly what was going to be purchased, the price, and the labor cost involved down to each plant, which is something the competing quotes were lacking. His team added a walkway going around from our driveway to the pool; excavated a rock wall to reduce the grade so we could get our golf cart around what was a narrow corner; trimmed up trees over and around the pool; added much needed drainage to reduce runoff; built the wall around the pump equipment, added the Zeon Zyosia grass, and did all the landscaping around the pool area. We are extremely happy with the end product and will use them again when our guest/pool house is completed to do the landscaping around it.
