I called a few other companies before I contacted Fernandez Landscape Contractors Services. I am glad the other companies failed to follow through. Ernesto took my vision for a simple dog run and landscaping and brought it to life far more than I expected. Once my project was scheduled, he and his crew showed up as promised. The crew worked diligently and consistently. I am so impressed by their talents and beyond happy with the outcome. If you want quality work and a company that aims to ensure that whatever they do elevates your yard, give Ernesto a call. He did not under promise, but he definitely over delivered! Service was professional and the lines of communication were open throughout the job and after completion. Looking forward to my next project with this team! read more

Want to be told the job is complete before anyone's walked it with you, then handed a request for final payment only to find more wrong than right? Want every concern explained away: vines won't grow on cedar, fruit trees belong in the shade, a walkway cracking apart after three weeks is "normal"? Want "topsoil" that's actually crushed granite? Want electrical wiring wrapped in electrical tape and held up with a rusty nail? If that's the experience you're looking for, Fernandez Landscape Contractors Services may be the company for you. For anyone who wants specifics, here's my experience. I hired them for a full backyard renovation and paid every phase in full and on time. The finished work did not match the signed proposal. The trellis was specified as cedar, built in pressure-treated pine. The fire pit was built with no drainage and holds water like a basin. Rear grading directed water toward the parking area, the exact drainage problem I'd hired them to fix. Pop-up drains they installed were run over and buried rather than fixed. The custom metal gate was installed without a hasp for over a week, while they repeatedly tried upselling me a motorized opener instead of just finishing the gate I'd already paid for. When a hasp finally went on, it was plastic on a steel gate, held with mismatched fasteners. It broke three days later. When I questioned the fruit tree planted in full shade, I was told it needed shade. When I questioned the pine trellis, I was told vines won't grow on cedar. Buried drainage was brushed off as "punch list" or warranty work to be handled later. Then there's the walkway. Installed weeks earlier, it was already cracking through, with sinking stones and a low spot that pools water in the rain. I was first told cracking mortar is normal, then that cracking flagstone is normal. When I mentioned I'd hired an independent mason to evaluate it, he became irate and said he wouldn't accept another mason's opinion on his work. I had it evaluated anyway. That mason found the base inconsistent with the contract and unsound, requiring a full redo. At the walkthrough, once it was clear he wasn't leaving with a check, he got louder and more belligerent, insisting the "scope of the job" was complete. He got in my face trying to intimidate me into digging up buried drains myself, as if finding them proved they worked. I walked away. He later texted that walking away was unprofessional. I told him yelling in my face wasn't an explanation. He still denied running over the drains, with a shredded one lying right there on the ground. Days later I received an eight-page "Final Project Completion Technical Verification Report," self-prepared, including a "Professional Engineering Opinion," concluding his own work was flawless. Grading your own work isn't independent verification. I requested the engineer's license info and the electrical work's licensing info multiple times. I never received either. When I later raised the trellis and grading again, paid-for add-on work he'd quoted in writing, he claimed he wouldn't address anything outside the "executed agreement." Apparently outside-contract work is fine to accept payment for, just not to finish correctly. The electrical work was interesting too: wiring wrapped in tape, fastened to a post with a rusty nail. I'm now paying an independent electrician to inspect it, since he never provided licensing information to verify who did it. If you need a basic sod job, he's your man. If you need anything as complicated as a straight line, you'll need to hire him and two more people to hold the ruler. Thank God I held the final payment until I inspected everything myself, because the job still isn't complete and I doubt it ever will be by him. Don't release final payment until you've walked every inch yourself. Pictures included: crooked fence, drainless fire pit, cracking walkway, pine trellis, "topsoil" that was crushed granite, the shredded pop-up and the rock-filled hole they used to "fix" it, fruit tree in shade, and the wiring. read more

This company come in on clutch for me, with forth of July weekend around the corner they were able to squeezed me in there busy schedule to perform ground leveling for my above ground pool. I call around to other companies and was told that my project was to small for them. Fernandez landscape didn't care about the size of the project, they cared more about making a customer project happen. I was so happy about them taking on my little project that I also hired them to do some tree trimming and landscape for me as well. I would definitely recommend them. read more

We recently used Fernandez Landscape Services, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Ernesto, the owner, came out personally to meet with us--which was one of the main reasons we chose a small business over a large company. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and truly took the time to listen to all of our questions and concerns. It was important to us to work with someone who really understands plants, and Ernesto absolutely does. His professionalism, attention to detail, and thoughtful recommendations made the entire process seamless. Our yard looks beautiful--honestly, we might be biased, but we think we have the best lawn on the block now! We highly recommend Fernandez Landscape Services to anyone looking for exceptional, personalized care. read more

Fernandez Landscape Contractors Service did an amazing job on my backyard. I had to write this long review to express just how happy I am with their work. From the first phone call to the first meeting today, Ernesto was very professional. I was impressed from the very start when he sent over a Google meeting invite for our in-person interview. This one example shows how well he communicates and values the importance of his customer's time. Communication is key to a successful business interaction. When he arrived to my home today, he showed that he was eager to do a good job. His personality was so joyous and refreshing. Right away he gave me some great ideas on how to enhance my backyard space. I already had a great setup with a tree, pea gravel with pavers and seating area. I just needed to replace my weed infested grass. Ernesto discussed options and I decided on rock and pavers to coordinate with what I already had. This facelift helped to extend my seating area and provided a no maintenance space that I truly love. Ernesto's prices are very competitive. Most importantly, kudos to his crew. From the estimate meeting around 9:30 this morning to the completed job around 4:30 this afternoon, everything was done and cleaned up. Ernesto promised it would be done before Christmas and they delivered ahead of schedule and no increase in cost. I am very pleased with Fernandez Landscape Contractors Service. Great work! read more

Ernesto and team did an amazing job. Highly recommend. The scoping and planning was very professional, with detailed estimates and contracts. Ernesto came with great ideas and was very easy to work and collaborate with. We had some significant work multiple scope outdoor project work -- shore up some ground erosion, installation of under ground drain, pavers/walkway and gravel fill, pergola painting and maintenance, plumbing, electrical, tree cutting, ans fence/gate work - all executed very well. The crew was dedicated and their attention to detail / ownership of their work really showed. Him and his team were great at staying in communication with us. I would definitely hire again. read more

Ernesto and team were great to work with. You redid our whole backyard from lifting pavers up to re-installing new ones. Also did some French drainage in the backyard. Him and his team communicated well, were on time and made sure we were fully satisfied with the overall project. Not to mention very reasonably priced with other competitors. If you need work done reach out to them. read more

Review of Fernandez Landscaping Lengthy Review! My experience with Fernandez Landscaping was unfortunately not a positive one, and I wholeheartedly regret hiring this company. While the initial consultation went smoothly, communication drastically declined once the project began. The contract was vague and lacked essential details, requiring several revisions to capture everything we had discussed. Thankfully, I pushed for those updates--especially since the HOA approval took about a month. The project officially began on Wednesday, 3/13, and things went downhill quickly. There were multiple days when they either didn't show up as promised or only stayed for a couple of hours. Communication was so stressful and inconsistent that I eventually stopped speaking directly with the contractor and had my husband take over. Even then, when my husband tried to have a respectful conversation with Ernesto, it led to a heated exchange. Let me give a clear example of what just two weeks looked like--with perfect weather and no reason for delays: Wednesday, 4/2: We asked for a timeline after being asked for additional money, despite the contract not being followed. We were told that the concrete and electrical would be completed by Friday, 4/4, and the full project would be done by Friday, 4/12. Thursday, 4/3: Some concrete and minor electrical work were done. Friday, 4/4: No one showed up. Saturday, 4/5 - Sunday, 4/6: No work (expected). Monday, 4/7 - Wednesday, 4/9: No substantial progress. Someone briefly came to patch two holes and then left. Thursday, 4/10: We were told the crew would arrive at noon. They showed up around 2:30 PM and left by 4 PM. Friday, 4/11: They worked for about 4 hours. Saturday, 4/12: We received a text saying the crew would arrive between 10 AM and 12 PM. Instead, they showed up after 1 PM and stayed for only about 20 minutes. We were also told that on this day I'd be able to pick out the granite for the outdoor kitchen and that the gutters would be installed. Neither of those things happened. When we called to ask what was going on, Ernesto didn't answer. We followed up with a text--and got no response. So, for the entire week of April 7th through April 12th, they worked maybe 8 hours total. That kind of lack of progress and unresponsiveness was incredibly frustrating. To make matters worse, they left materials sitting outside our gate for weeks, which led to two separate HOA warning violations for different issues. This added even more unnecessary stress and inconvenience. On April 14, I received an email from the front office along with images of someone else's home. They informed me that two projects were complete when, in fact, they weren't. They also told me they were waiting on supplies for the kitchen--which I'm not sure how that is, because they were supposed to leave the countertop options for my review and yep, you guessed it--they were not there. And when we sent a text inquiring about them, yep, you guessed it again--no response. So all of a sudden, Ernesto, our point of contact, is too busy to respond. And typically, I share contractors with my colleagues--and so does my husband. I know of two colleagues waiting to see how my project turned out to see if they want to hire them, but unfortunately, I won't be recommending them to anyone! It also became clear that they were juggling multiple jobs, which dragged our timeline out significantly. What was supposed to be a 2-3 week job ended up taking 7 weeks. Honestly, I hate to say it, but Ernesto's word means nothing--he simply never followed through on what he said. Whether it was timelines, updates, or commitments, nothing ever aligned with what was promised. As a business, they should not take your concerns about the work being done as complaints. Customers have a right to ask questions, follow up, and expect communication--especially when things aren't being completed as agreed. Addressing concerns should be seen as part of providing good service, not as an annoyance. Overall, working with Fernandez Landscaping was extremely stressful. I've gone through a full home remodel and a pool installation, and I've never had an experience this bad. I was genuinely relieved when the project was finally over. Just some word of advice: when working with paying clients, communication is key. My experience might have gone differently if they had simply kept us informed--especially on the days they didn't show up after saying they would. Instead, days passed with no updates or explanations, which only made things worse. I'm not going to bore you further with details. However, I will say that once I contacted the Better Business Bureau, it finally got the ball rolling. That step seemed to be the only thing that prompted any action at all. Based on my experience, I would not recommend or hire Fernandez Landscaping. read more

BEWARE, if you are interested in a huge job!! Fernandez Landscape contractors made a huge error in the maintenance/restoration of pavers in my courtyard!! Per their terms, I paid them IN FULL for their service. They acknowledged their mistake and promised to fix it. Initially, they made attempts to send random workers with inadequate equipment as they made a mess of my property and even damaged some nearby varnished wood work. Eventually, they STOPPED SHOWING UP altogether after several no-shows to complete the remediation. As a result, I had to spend more than 3 times as much just to get another company to come and clean up the mess and fix the mistake. Perhaps its safer to limit such contractors to just cutting grass and avoid the big jobs...... read more

I went through Angi to seek out contractors for a back yard project on a Saturday night. Ernesto called back within five minutes and visited the next day on a Sunday.

Without doubt the most capable, competent and professional contractor I have worked with. I would trust him with my grandmother no questions asked. read more

I'm very pleased with the job Fernandez Landscape Contractors did. I had to have a small 8'x8' space of flagstone replaced in my atrium, after having my storm drains replaced to stop water from coming into my atrium, and then into my house during the 5-17-24 flash flood in Houston. This contractor was the most reasonably priced and had great reviews. I see why the reviews were so good. The English speaking workers were incredible and even cleaned out the moss in my little pond. Keep in mind the grout lightens after it dries. See the initial and a week later pictures below. I highly recommend the company. read more

Not good at all. Great sales pitch but poor deliverables and after the sale service is poor on their best day! Dirt in beds too high (above foundation of my house and had to threaten to get them to reimburse the cost to have my local guy fix it. Planted flowers, they died.

I have to share my experience! My entire lawn died after contracting for ongoing care with a National chain. After ending our "partnership", I put more money into trying to save it, but it was too late. Then I found Ernesto Fernandez. He came over same day I inquired. He was so patient ... answered all my questions, and taught me many things I didn't know about care for a Saint Augustine lawn in Houston. His amazing team was on site and working a quick 4 days later. They were, honestly, fantastic! On time, friendly, fast and precise. And Ernesto was always just a quick text away. His materials are tip-top quality. The lawn is now healthy, and will thrive. I have finally found a company I can depend on and trust, and will heartily recommend Fernandez Landscape Contractors Services without reservation! Thank you, Ernesto! read more

Update: they have been very attentive to my complaint and my concerns and returned multiple times to address issues. They seem genuinely concerned about the complaint of lack of professionalism and are working to show that it is important to them. From start to finish the concrete work was completed differently than what was promised in the sales pitch. The finishing guy left handprints up and down the driveway, they were supposed to use an expansion joint not dowels, but that apparently changed without notifying me, they say they did not use subcontractors but the workers claimed being subcontracted the same day as the pour. read more

We are VERY IMPRESSED with his/their professionalism!! HIGHLY recommend them for any outdoor/yard work needed!! Maria and Cameron read more

VERY unreliable. The only thing he was fast about was collecting money. We went weeks on end with no service. He would promise to come and then not show up - this happened numerous times.

I can't say enough about Ernesto Fernandez's business and crews. They responded quickly to remove trees after Hurricane Beryl and their prices were the best I found. The work done by each of the crews was excellent! They came on time. Worked long days and got all the work done according to the proposed schedule. I needed to use them again for sprinkler repair and backyard reconstruction a few weeks after the hurricane, and they did not disappoint. Great company, great work, great communication throughout the projects. This company will be my go to for any sprinkler work, landscaping needs, and tree removal. Ernesto and the crews went well above and beyond what I paid for!!! read more

Wow! I am so happy with the work that Ernesto's crew did yesterday in my backyard. His workers were very friendly and professional.

I highly recommend them. They were on time and came the same day to fix my sidewalk. Very reasonably priced for great quality of work.

I had a pool leak that was causing me to lose 2 inches of water in 2 days this as been on going for 2 years now .I take walks in my neighborhood everyday and on my nearby street I noticed fernandez landscaping was in the process of landscaping a neighbor's home when I saw their sign advertising that they also repair pools. I gave them a call Ernesto was out the next day and gave me a quote. He told that they could find and fix this that he can have a crew out the next day. They were on time the next day and found the leak and fixed it. The crew repaired the leak and made put my yard back the way they found it. I highly recommend fernandez landscaping to anyone well done. I also like to mention that I had 3 pool company's come out and spent over $1000 with the pressure testing and all of them could not find the leak or was interested in fixing it. read more
