Secret Gardens absolutely blew me away! I had been wanting to refresh the front of my house for…read morespring, and after hearing great things about them, I decided to reach out--and I'm so glad I did. Phillip was amazing from the very beginning. He walked me through the entire process step-by-step, took the time to understand my vision, and explained everything in detail in a way that actually made sense. I don't know a ton about landscaping, but he made me feel super comfortable the entire time and gave suggestions that turned out to be perfect for my space. The final design was stunning--colorful, clean, and it completely brought my yard to life for spring. I've had so many neighbors compliment the work already. You can tell they really care about what they do, and Phillip made sure every part of the process felt easy and stress-free. I also found out they have a full garden center too, which I'm definitely planning to check out next! It's so nice to know I have a local place I can go for both plants and professional landscaping. If you're thinking about redoing your yard or just want to add a little life to your outdoor space, I highly recommend Secret Gardens. Great people, beautiful work, and just an all-around awesome experience!

We needed an experienced landscape designer that would modify our existing failing landscape due to…read moreincreased shade over the years and also repair and upgrade the irrigation and drainage systems.

I searched for native landscape architect to design and implement a high end landscape at my home…read morein Historic McKinney and after a number of weeks settled upon Texas Nativescapes. I was immediately impressed by Paul's depth of knowledge and unique experience related to native design which set him apart from the rest of the field in North Texas. Fast forward 10 months and two extensive design implementations later (front and back yards) I couldn't be happier with the results. The results are two of the most uniquely designed & implemented yards in all of DFW. The backyard is completely native southwestern landscaping with rock, cactus and agaves imported from all over Texas, Arizona, and California. In contrast the front is classic southern with original elements picked up in New Orleans and Savannah. In the end the pictures, which I have posted here, speak for themselves. If you are looking for someone to develop and implement a totally unique high end design Paul is your best option in North Texas hands down. His design acumen puts him in a category all his own in North Texas and on par with the best native landscape architects from across the country including places such as Palm Springs, CA and Austin, TX.

I highly recommend Texas Nativescapes. We used Paul and his crew at Texas Nativescapes for two…read moreprojects in our back yard. First to repair a rock wall that had not been built correctly by a previous contractor and was starting to fall over. Paul and his crew completely disassembled the wall, put in a more solid base and rebuilt the wall the right way. Second, we had Texas Nativescapes fix a drainage and erosion issue that was causing damage to our back fence. Paul and his team removed about 240 sq ft of grass and dirt and replaced with base of decomposed granite and river rock. Both finished projects look great.

It's taken more than 2 months to get everything done, and it still isn't working right. The control box in front was not properly installed, so now I have a heavy leak, and was told I would have to pay extra for them to fix it. Ha! You think I'd ever call them again? After 30 years as a real estate broker, and dealing with all kinds of landscapers, Pristine wins the award for the worst.

Update 9/14/24: I reported this company to BBB and then the owner Josh started contacting me again…read more THIS WEEK 9/10 He finally brought out more sod. However, he did NOT bring enough to replace all the dead original sod he installed. Also, he did NOT fix the poor ground prep in a large are by my fence gate that his crew did NOT prep originally and left the flag stones and decomposed granite in ground. His crew on 9/10 laid new sod over this area & over flagstones again. He was contracted to clean this area up and prep for new sod removing decomposed granite & flagstones & Josh did NOT both times! So this new sod will die unless me the customer digs it all out and relays the sod. His crew cut more off my front trees that did NOT need it. There were contracted to cut the back trees. None of the crew in 9/10 spoke English at all & did not understand me. Josh did NOT show up as usual to suppervise or send any crew leaders to make sure the work was done correctly. JOSH HAS NO CONCERN TO DO A JOB CORRECTLY OR AS CONTRACTED So tree cutting in backyard was still NOT done per contract Texas Sage bush was still NOT dug up and moved per contract Front gutters are still crooked. Not fixed at all. JOSH REFUSES TO FIX IT Josh refused to make the wobbly fence stable by adding more post and refused to add a 3rd gate hinge. He did fix 1 of the boards on the lattice at the top but we had to fix the other 2 that were coming off. JOSH REFUSES TO FIX THE FENCE TO MAKE IT STABLE OR WORTH $18k he charged for it The fence subcontractor told me Josh was to pay him $5k for the fence build NOT $18k (not sure if Josh paid him or not) that is why the fence guy refused to fix anything on my game, he told me you got $5k fence and that's all he is doing. JOSH IS DISHONEST AND DOES CRAPY WORK. HE DEMANDS PAYMENT UP FRONT TO SCHEDULE, then more UPFRONT BEFORE HE STARTS WORK & PAYMENT EVERY WEEK BEFORE WORK IS COMPLETED. He will hold off on the last few thousand knowing he has already scammed you out of your money & not done quality work. He will keep saying he is showing up to fix work not done correctly, he will say materials are delayed, his crew manager Chris will tell you he is in the hospital when he is not just to delay you and push you off. Then they will block you. So do NOT do business with this company. Look him up because he has 3 different companies and all run this way If you have a contract with his company make sure you don't pay up front like he demands. He does not pay for any supplies up front. He makes his subcontractors pay for all their supplies and doesn't pay them until afterwards. If he even pays them at all. 2 subcontractors were not paid on my Reno and came to my door asking for payment since Josh & Chris refused to pay them and blocked their calls also. With my help pushing back on this company and reporting them to BBB these 2 hard working subcontractors reported to me this week they were finally paid on 9/10 the same day Josh came out with sod & same day Josh reported to BBB all subcontractors were paid in full. These 2 subcontractors jobs were done 30 days ago SO THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAID THEN! Josh has also NOT shown up to do a final walk through inspecting the work with me the customer as port. He is just demanding I pay final bill (which has not been sent) plus daily late fees. This guy is a jock and a SCAMMER . He won't show his face or take your calls. He only shows up for payments https://pristinelandscapingandlighting.com/
