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.

He's always quick to respond, enthusiastic about the projects, and takes a real pride in his work and making sure things are done in a way that will last. We did a complete backyard overhaul and transformed it from a bare mud pit to a backyard oasis that we now love spending time in now: new sod on half the hard, paver patio and crushed granite on the other half, limestone retaining wall and mulch bed on the back wall, drainage, and irrigation through out. We had an old and non functioning irrigation system that we inherited from the previous owners and rather than just ripping it up and charging us for a new one, Aaron spent hours servicing and getting it to work, and then customized it to work with the new yard layout. We also had some freak of nature downpour of rain pretty soon after the big project was complete, which washed away some of the granite and caused the patio to settle with some dips. Aaron came back and fixed it all and added in additional drainage to keep it from happening again. Aaron is my guy forever now - extremely fair on pricing, honest, full of integrity, thorough, and just an all around nice guy. You won't be disappointed if you choose to work with him.

The photos show how much the selected plants grew in just one season between spring and winter, while still retaining a beautiful look in the colder months without full blooms. The team also fixed our irrigation system and provided additional drainage with a French drain. The team was on schedule and super communicative. After the job completed, Aaron has always been incredibly willing to share advice for landscaping situations that we've encountered since the original installation. His knowledge is very deep and always leads to the expected outcome. I recommend Austin Yard Barber without hesitation.

Travis was a life saver by installing our landscaping for our new custom home in time for move-in…read morewhen it turned out we did not have landscaping included in our project. From the first meeting, he was professional and took the project seriously. He started with a drone photo overhead and created a design with our architect's plan. Travis worked with us to design a drought-tolerant landscape with a combination of astroturf and xeriscape, as well as limestone paver walkways with black granite and black steel edging to go with the aesthetics of our modern ranch. Our third party inspector noted that many landscape companies do not weld the steel edging to the stakes, but Travis's crew welded all of the connections and the steel seems thicker than what we had at our previous home. We chose Thrive because of other Google reviews combined with our interactions with Travis during the quote and design process. We found the same to be true as other reviewers, which was his crew was very positive, helpful, energetic, and some of the hardest workers on our project. They were the first to arrive in the morning, worked hard and fast all day, and stayed often until dark. We truly appreciated the hustle, and the quality and beauty of the finished product and would not hesitate recommending Thrive to anyone in need of landscape services.

They've brought my lawn back to life with biweekly lawn service and fertilizing /deweeding and it's the first time I've been weed-less and have a lush green lawn despite years of trying other services and trying to handle it myself with seeding and roundup. They've also gone above and beyond in construction projects, paving a path for me with my trash cans and doing an amazing job replacing and repainting my fence, gates, and rebuilding a shed for me with insulation for an outdoor water softener unit. Brothers Landscaping are meticulous about quality, making sure sprinklers weren't broken, cleaning up, and making sure materials and work is above and beyond expectations (like adding a paved path for a stonework patio job and cutting out spaces in that path for my sprinkler system). Angel is my go to contact for any outdoor landscaping and construction needs. I highly recommend Brothers Landscaping. They are prompt, easy to work with, reasonably priced, and do high quality work.

After installing our pool in 2023, I've had constant issues with dead spots in my back yard,…read morecausing me to explore the idea of installing artificial turf. I did a lot of research on artificial turf companies servicing the Brushy Creek area and after some shopping around, came across Umesh and KG Lawn Care. After receiving some ridiculous quotes from some of the "bigger" artificial turf companies, offering a lower grade of turf for a substantially higher price, I went forward with the project with Umesh and KG Lawn Care. Umesh took on my project of installing approximately 1000 sqft of artificial turf, metal edging, and black star gravel around some cypress trees. Roughly a month before starting, I expressed to Umesh my desire to have the project completed in time for our family's annual crawfish boil, which he assured me he would fulfill. I can't say enough positive things about Umesh, Lucas, and their crew. As we neared the date of my family's party, Umesh assured me that he would push to make the deadline, even with unpredictable central Texas weather. Umesh not only kept to his promise in finishing the project in time for our party, but also knocked it out of the park! The artificial turf looks incredible and instantly became my daughter's favorite place to play. Umesh and his crew put a level of detail into the project in ensuring every aspect was perfect for my family. As pleased as I am with the project itself, the most noteworthy aspect I want to highlight in this review is how Umesh does business. In a world where so many are looking to cut corners, charge more, and provide less, I found that Umesh is a man of immense integrity who keeps to his word. Umesh delivered on his promise to ensure my yard was immaculate for my family's party, but most notably, his promise on pricing. A day before our turf was set to be installed, Umesh was notified by the turf company that the turf we picked out was no longer available (with zero warning). Umesh was forced to upgrade the turf at a difference of nearly $800. I offered to split the difference with Umesh but was told: "Nah man, it's all good. I like to keep my word and pricing. It's not your fault." This really struck me that Umesh was willing to eat $800 in order to keep his word with me on pricing. KG Lawn Care exceeded my expectations and truly helped me complete my dream back yard - The quality of work and character of Umesh will have me recommending him and his company to all my family and friends!

UPDATE: contacted Umesh end of Feb 2026 to quote additional work. After sending picture of areas…read moreneeding work as requested, received bid and invoice for 1/2 deposit. Invoice was for "ATX Outdoor Upgrades", which Umesh stated was his new DBA. Paid 1/2 deposit same day and scheduled work for week of May 11th. On morning of 5/11 texted Umesh for expected day work would start that week. He texted back to "stand by....little behind." Waited over 24 hours for any feedback before I texted him again regarding schedule. Received text back that rain on Sunday "was a killer" and requested moving job to following week. Agreed if he would guarantee job would start on the 20th. He agreed and said would arrive 9-10am. After no arrival or contact on the 20th, texted at 10:20a asking ETA. Rec'd text back "No way today...too wet. Will dump trailer and be ready tomorrow. Dump site is soaked". Had rained previous night but areas in scope of work were easily accessible. Umesh texted would arrive "10ish" Thursday, 5/21. Received text at 5:43am on 5/21 that he needed "to reschedule wasn't able to dump trailers. Rain is about to kill us". I texted back that we had not received any further rain and he would need to call me to reschedule. Received text back requesting to start Monday it was a "bad week too. Everybody needs off with school ending". After reminding him that Monday was Memorial Day, Umesh replied to start Tuesday. I reiterated that if our job was not started Tuesday and completed by Wednesday, he would need to cancel job and refund deposit. Received text from Umesh this morning (5/26) at 7:30a that he would have to refund deposit "don't have help today. Got backed up". Supposed my refund will be credited to original form of payment within 2 days. We'll see if he follows thru on this since it appears his word means nothing and he only says what he thinks the customer wants to hear at a given moment. Very disappointed in his lack of business ethics, communication and follow thru as we were originally very happy with the work he did for us last year. Would definitely NO LONGER RECOMMEND KG Lawn (or now ATX Outdoor Upgrades).

When we…read moreinquired, they were several months booked, so we just procrastinated and didn't do anything. On the way home one month or so back, there was a PRT crew working in the neighborhood and it motivated me to reach out again. They quickly replied through Yelp once I sent them a message and the estimator was here in a couple of days for an estimate and to provide guidance. He was very helpful in making the decisions we choose. We pretty much revamped our entire landscape. New Sod, removal of old sod and installation of zero scape/natural flat stones/gravel. Replanted all the beds, reworked sprinkler system and a massive trim out of existing shrubs and the sort. Not inexpensive, however they were still less expensive then another service, who suggested such things as a French drain, which really didn't make sense and came in a couple grand higher. The crew were numerous and were on time, courteous and knocked out the project in only a few days. One slight slip was the sod was not available on the last day, so we skipped a day and had the job completed the day after. It still was in the time frame they informed us on to begin with and let us know the day before the sod was to be installed. The result of their hard work will be truly noticed when the new plantings take hold. We have been fortunate with having several days of rain and cool weather. A couple of weeks in the sod has taken hold and none of the plantings have died and are all perking up from the transplanting experience. We are very happy with the results and the ease of working with PRT from start to finish.

They truly did a wonderful job and picked up after themselves and even hauled some leftover rotten decking we had for us. Super appreciated and can't wait to reach out to PRT in the future to help us with refreshing our flower beds. They do have a bit a wait but you receive quality results it's definitely worth it.
