I used PLL for my backyard design and outdoor kitchen. I engaged a bunch of landscapers through Houzz and Yelp and what I found is that while PLL is **slightly** more expensive, they are more responsive and thorough. They are also very professional, care about the types of plants they purchase, and are proud of their work. They also clean up after every work day, which -- for those with children and / or dogs -- is helpful and respectful. read more

We needed a number of minor fixes done really quickly as we were selling our house. I got in touch with a number of companies and Ryan was, by far, the most responsive and got a tech out the next morning. The tech dealt with all the issues very efficiently + provided detailed billing breakdown / invoice to us for our home inspection repair requirements. Thanks so much! read more

I didn't realize how difficult it was to find a great landscaping company because Perfect Lawns & Landworks were the first I ever hired after buying my first home. They do amazing work. They keep their word. They are honest. The crews that come out are friendly and you don't have to watch over them. They know exactly what to do. Aside from biweekly maintenance, Perfect Lawns also did some design for me as well which turned out beautiful and was very reasonably priced and fast. Early this past spring they were a bit short staffed and I had frozen my account for winter. Which made it difficult to get back on their schedule. So I used another company. I was no longer living there and had tenants. The other company destroyed the yard and took responsibility for their crew's mistake. But the next day changed their minds! And realizing the cost of the mistake refused to fix it. I called Perfect Lawns & Landworks and asked if they could please come back to repair the damage and take over the maintenance. They did just that. It was a nightmare dealing with the other company and Perfect Lawns have put me completely at ease! They are taking care of the other company's mistakes. One tip... Maintain monthly visits during winter so that you are guaranteed your place when spring comes. read more

Perfect Lawns & Landworks - Landscaping Near Me - Austin, Texas

I had some bare spots in my yard and a lot of mud was being tracked in by the dogs. I called Perfect Lawns to give us a solution. They gave us some great ideas to fix the problem. We now have new grass that will grow in the shade, mulch in our beds, beautiful stones around our trees and our sprinklers were programmed to water and I did not need to do anything. Rudy and his crew were great. They came when we expected them, the job was supervised and everything was completed as planned. I highly recommend Perfect Lawns for any of your outdoor projects. read more

I was looking for new service and made no less than three inquiries to get someone to call me and get a quote. If they are hard to communicate with for new business I can't imagine how poor the communication would be when you have an issue. read more

Apparently I have strange demands for yard companies. I only need mowing every other week and I'd like my hedges trimmed (not a euphemism) once a month. I was used to this service with the individual yard guy we had but I wanted to go with a larger company this year. Basically I wanted more consistency in the service. The individual guy just wasn't showing up on a set schedule and would simply disappear from October until March even though things continued to grow and need trimming. I shopped around a lot in April. Even paid for Angie's List for a month. Contacted a few places but they seemed to only want to mow every week and wanted to be paid for the year in advance. Yeah, right! One company sent a salesperson over to the house who wanted to upsell me on all kinds of household service. I don't want to join a club I just want someone to cut the grass. Perfect Lawns was rated fairly well on Angie's List. Of course I checked Yelp too however it was a little confusing with so many 5s and 1s. So I sent them an email asking for a quote. No one called to bug me. No one wanted to haggle or sell me a membership. Someone simply came by, took a look at my lawn, and left a form with a price proposal for different services attached to my front door. Some people wouldn't like this. But not me. The less I have to speak to a person the better. I compared the numbers and liked their prices. They're not the cheapest in town and I think it's kind of strange that they send out a separate crew for the hedges but it was still a better deal to me. So I signed the agreement, scanned it and emailed it to their office. I got an email back. We went over dates and a few days later the guys showed up and started working. No one bugged me by ringing the bell. They left a receipt on the door to let me know they'd been there. Now they come every other Monday at nine am. Mow, trim, and blow. Done in 40 minutes and leave a note on the door. Once a month someone trims the hedges. I spend about 90 dollars a month and I get exactly what I want. And I've never had to talk to a single person. I love that. read more

We have used Perfect Lawns and Landworks as our home landscapers for over a year, mostly because it is impossible to find good, consistent, reasonably priced landscapers who will work in Oak Hill. Perfect Lawns delivers in some capacities. They will do a good job on the lawn as long as the team that shows up is not afraid of the dogs and they remember to block the doggie door. (I had to explain that to them in English and in Spanish three times until they caught on.) They'll do a good job with raking the leaves in autumn as long as you are clear that you don't want the leaves dumped in the back part of your lot. Why did I have to request that? When it comes to adding other services such as tree trimming, stump removal, or arborist services, they act as an outsourcer and tend to overcharge on those estimates. We pay about $45 for each visit, plus tax and a gas surcharge, which is no bargain, but again, Oak Hill is a tough neighborhood to get good scapers to come mow, particularly since we have a very sloped lot. And then again, when it is a thousand degrees in August, it's the sweetest deal in town. read more

We have now used Perfect Lawns & Landworks twice (two different areas of the lawn) to replace dead grass, and they did so "perfectly" each time. They communicated well, showed up on time, and meticulously did the job (and I do mean meticulously). Afterwards, they cleaned/picked-up the area, double-checked the sprinkler system, and provided instructions on future watering. They even came back by days later to check how the new grass was progressing! Having seen how thorough they are, I now know why my personal attempts at grass replacement always failed. They are the professionals and combine wonderful service with personal caring. I highly recommend them. read more

We have used 4 different services and Perfect Lawns has been the Best by far. Our lawn looks the best it has in years!! They are prompt and live up to their word! They took the hassle out of lawn care. Thank You read more

Richard: By the way, I could not be happier with the work your crew did on our yard and beds. To begin with, each member of your crew was a pleasure to work with. Friendly, outgoing, professional. They always stopped what they were doing to recognized me and ask if I needed anything when I came around. Above all, they did excellent work making the beds look great. The end result more than exceeded my expectations. Thank you. Please extend to them my praise and highest compliments. Ed Cooper read more

We appreciate the dependable and professional service provided by Perfect Lawns. They provide our regular lawn maintenance.. We've been a client since 2007. When we have special instructions, they listen, and make sure that we are both on the same page. thumbs up Perfect Lawns! read more

We hired PL&L for a yard "clean up" . It was a bit on the high side on pricing but well worth it. They did an amazing job. Their crew was super friendly which is always a plus! We look forward to hiring them for our future landscaping project on our new home and help with seasonal clean up . read more

We've worked with Perfect Lawns for 6+ years now and at two different houses. They're full service and very professional and timely. We use them for irrigation, planting, maintenance, annual trimming and cut back, and a weekly-ish "mow and blow". Unlike other services we've used, we find that we reach out and in the next couple of days someone comes by and "just takes care of it," whatever it is. Very reliable, and interacting with their teams is great as well. Friendly people who get it done and seem to take pride in quality work. I think of them as at the higher end of the price range, but the quality of their work and the ease of working with them makes it worth it. read more

Some nearby construction resulted (long story short) in flooding in our den and dining room during heavy storms over the past few years. After trying and failing to fix the issue myself, I called PL&L. They came in and suggested a low Austin stone wall to permanently deflect drainage around the house. They also suggested some landscape grading and underground drain pipes for the gutters. I agreed and signed the quote. Their crew showed up the following week and worked for several days. At one point we realized that the foundation they had dug for the wall was going to extend into our back yard far enough to be a hazard to any sports back there. I sent an email to my contact and the problem was fixed the next day. The wall looks great, the other work they did is just right, and best of all, no more flooding [edit: even during the 2015 storms]. Money well spent, and I would definitely use PL&L again. read more

Please share with the great shrub trim crew.... I need to share with you how pleased I am with the "Quality of work and attention to detail" the three gentleman displayed. I have had the shrub trim crew here twice in the last 30 days to finish my property and it looks "SPECTACULAR". Thanks again! These guys Rock! Al Bussmann read more

They handle our lawn maintenance. They do a fine job at blowing leaves and mowing the little grass we have. The people at their main office have always been helpful and friendly. But I must echo what another review wrote about a disconnect. It seems their different departments do not communicate. I asked multiple times for additional work to be done (e.g., hedge trimming). It has never been done. It seems like if it does not fit into their SOP then it does not happen. I always want to use a more eco-friendly company. read more

Perfect Lawns and Landworks of Austin recently completed a large landscape project for us. We are very pleased with the outcome and the entire process. Brent Wilshire and his team of professionals were personally and actively involved from the concept design phase to the completion of the project. There was continual contact with us, so there were no unforeseen surprises. We were always made to feel that our project was of the highest priority. Creating a beautiful outdoor living environment and providing customer satisfaction were of the utmost importance to Brent and his team. This was evident not only from the designers and project manager, but also from the crew who carried out the daily work. Our large tree-filled yard was very nice, but now is a beautiful park-like setting, complete with paths and benches, and even a fire pit area overlooking an arroyo. Shrubs and plants native to central Texas were also added, creating a very inviting, pleasant atmosphere. We highly recommend Perfect Lawns and Landworks of Austin. read more

I tried out Perfect Lawns today for the first time after reading the reports on Angie's List. It had been raining this morning so all my grass was wet. They did just okay on the mowing, but it appears to be cut at uneven heights. They left grass clippings all over the place and did not weed the rock bed garden as I requested. When the rep came out to give me a quote, I specifically walked him over to the rock bed garden and showed him what I wanted maintained and it was completely ignored. Also, there are also some flowers that fall off its bush and they just left them on the ground and did not clean them up. The price is decent, but I think I will go back to my old lawn guy. At least my lawn looks good when he is done with it. read more

Thank you to the team at Perfect Lawns. Yes, they are expensive, but rest assured you will receive top tier service and be pleased with the final product. Brent Wiltshire is the owner and is hands-on from the initial consultation to the final walk through. His team does excellent work, from the design created by Tom to the work by Juan Carlos and his crew. They transformed our backyard to a well manicured and designed, easy to maintain paradise and completely reworked our irrigation system. They were here when promised and completed everything as scheduled. I was also provided with regular updates by email on what to expect throughout the process. read more

Perfect Lawns has now done three jobs for me in the last year and all have been outstanding! The flower bed in front is perfect & has really improved the curb appeal. Last week they installed a new sprinkler system and Colorado stone patio and let me tell you...so beautiful & professional work. The crew was so polite, cleaned up each day and gave a progress report, walked through each step and completed the work on time. Miguel, the crew manager, checked in regularly and was very helpful and courteous. Overall, VERY pleased with all aspects of the job and crew. read more

After several years of drought, our grass was getting thin and weak. We added the fertilizer program to our lawn service and the grass has really responded. I am writing a further review because unbeknownst to us, the mower crew took out a sprinkler head with their mower. We were notified in our monthly bill that the head had been replaced and repaired at no charge of course. I love that we did not have to call the company and complain. They did the damage, fixed it, and that was that. Very reputable behavior. By the way, we have had uninterrupted lawn care with this company since about 1993 and se have always had a very good experience with them. read more

We have had PLL on and off: once for almost 5 years in varying capacities, and then we just started up again with them. They are, number one, dependable. They WILL show up when they say they will. They are very easy to work with in terms of degree of care (you can have the Property Care program, which covers all your fertilizations plus weed and ant control) in addition to your mowing service, which, out here, is a comparable cost. You can also modify your service by going on a "mowing hold" in the wintertime to help recoup some cost. If you don't want to have to think about your yard, this is the provider you need. They will get it done. They do not creep you out, but are staffed by upstanding, friendly, long time employees who you will feel entirely comfortable to have surrounding your house for an hour or so. Now, that said, a few years back, it seemed to me as a customer that the departments went through a phase in which they didn't communicate as well with each other (i.e., landscaping with regular services, sales people with the people who were in my yard, and schedulers. There also seemed to be a good bit of turnover with their administrative staff.) I bet the reviews here that are 1-2 stars arose out of that season in PLL's company. I too felt this phenomenon at that time. But it seems that this is no longer the case, much to my delight. Since that time, for one, they have hired this coordinator who not only has the credentials and knowledge of the guys on the ground, but also strives to make you feel like the only (or the most important, at least) customer they have. This employee's passion for getting things exactly as they should be is to be commended. This person is all about the extra mile and the personal touch. As a result, I'm confident that we are getting the best that PLL has to offer. Oh, the first day they were back- you could tell it was PLL that had been there. It made me smile. Yes, you get what you pay for. They aren't the MOST expensive out there, but from someone who tried out the dirt cheap, flyer-on- your- porch person, and then the 'friend" who can do work- there are some things worse than the hit the yard puts on your budget. With this company, it is "no excuses" attention, on the double. We are "Enjoying the View" once again! Keep up the good work. read more

I highly discourage anyone from using this lawn service provider. I contracted with them for less than a month. Work quality was horrible - I don't even think their workers did half of what they charged me for! I called their Customer Service to ask for a Supervisor to come look at the work. But, no one called me back, so I ended up canceling. And then it took several months to resolve billing issues! One big headache for everyone else to avoid. read more

We used Perfect Lawns for a front yard makeover. We replaced a retaining wall and sidewalk and added new landscaping, lighting and irrigation. They did an amazing job -- very professional and pleasant. Highly recommend. read more

Perfect Lawns did a great job for us, we recently moved and needed additional sprinkler heads put in, fences moved, trees planted etc... Their crew showed up early in the morning and worked hard all day for several days until the job was done. Rudy Diaz, our project manager, explained things clearly to me when there was a change needed etc... We have used them for years at our old place for basic mowing and were very pleased with this larger scope of work. We will continue to use them at this house for our basic lawn services. read more

PERFECT lawns? I don't think so. Maybe they should rename the company. I contacted this business on the basis of their A+ rating with the BBB. Should have checked other sources but that's my fault. They charged me over $800 for cleaning up, weeding and mulching a few beds (with mulch I already had). It looked really good for the first week or so. When the weeds started sprouting what I thought was much too quickly, I dug down and discovered that they had done a half-a** job at the weeding and just covered it all up with the mulch. I canceled the contract after a month when no one ever responded to my complaints about the original clean-up job they did. read more

We use this company for our lawn maintenance and most recently a total landscape makeover. The delivered exactly what I wanted-- and I tend to be pretty picky. If anything wasn't just right, they fixed it without hesitation. Brent, the owner, did a very nice job with the design, which saved us some money since we didn't have to hire a separate landscape architect. They even arranged for a new mailbox design to match our now more clean, contemporary feeling front yard. They are definitely capable of providing a complete solution. Thank you! read more

Perfect Lawns failed to provide services as contracted. I paid them nearly $20,000 last year to take care of 1 acre of landscaped property They did mowing, seasonal clean ups, bedding, trimming, fertilization and weed control, and sprinkler maintenance.. While individuals working for them do good work, the main reason to contract with them is to ensure that my landscaping looks great all the time. So if you see a bush that is stressed from too little water and I am paying you to maintain the sprinkler you would put two and two together. No. Shrub dies. I pay to remove and then pay for a new one. Brown spot on lawn. They mow but don't say anything about it. Crape Myrtles covered with aphids. Saw it when we mowed, did nothing about it. Time to trim shrubs. I let them grow a bit too much and then butchered them. I contract for leaf cleanup and trimming each Spring. I point out they missed a bunch of stuff. They come back and charge me again. I could go on and on with examples. I complained multiple times to "Michelle" who made all kinds of excuses (and often took a few days to reply to email) but never got the main issue that I was paying for a coordinated service not a bunch in individual tasks. Finally, I got a bid from a competing large provider in Austin who was literally 1/2 the price, did not charge $99 every time a supervisor walked the property (26 times a year) as they do if for free. So far, great and coordinated service from this new provider. My summary: overpriced and did not deliver as promised. I have pictures of all kinds of things to prove these points. When I got two other bids, the guys from the other companies were in shock at the state of my landscaping. One used the word "butchered". Buyer beware. read more

very overpriced for the end result. many plantings never materialized and we now have to hire another company to plant what should have grown initially for the money we paid. read more
