If you want a high quality landscape design by landscape architects and a team that can execute the design without any hassles, I would strongly recommend that you consider Archer Services. We bought a new home with builder grade (really bad) landscaping in 2024, and decided that we wanted to take out everything (trees, shrubs, lawn) and start over including adding a swing arbor, pavers, vegetable beds, screening shrubs, new large trees, and multiple trellises. We have moved into 7 different houses over the years and improved each home's landscaping ourselves. This time we wanted someone else to do the work and were fortunate to find Archer Services. We were 100% satisfied with every part of the design and installation process. Michael listened to what we wanted in both visual appeal and functionality, and developed a design; Aaron put it together visually with a 3D design and answered all our detailed questions; Alex helped us get the design approved through a very challenging HOA process; and Ryan led his superb crew to execute the design while keeping us informed on progress and any issues. The finished product looks exactly like the design that Michael and Aaron originally presented to us. Another very satisfied Archer Services customer! read more

I reached out to request a quote for a landscaping project and provided my phone number and preferred call time as requested. Unfortunately, I never received a response or follow-up. I understand schedules can get busy, but a quick acknowledgment would have been appreciated. I was genuinely interested in getting an estimate and potentially moving forward with the project. Better communication and timely follow-up would make the customer experience more professional and help potential customers feel their inquiries are valued. read more

An update on my previous review. I wanted to add that Archer Services has excellent customer service. They keep you updated on when they will arrive, the project manager visits throughout the project, and the folks in the office are incredibly supportive and responsive. Complete professionals, and a pleasure to work with! read more

Quality workmanship and a top notch team of technicians. Always amazed at the great job and they stand behind their work.

They contacted me & said someone would contact me for a quote but after a week we heard nothing so we hired another company from several bids. read more

We spent several 10's of thousands of dollars on a courtyard with pavers and feel we got a second-class job. The pavers turned "splotchy" and looked like they used factory rejects or seconds on our job. We looked at several similar installations at churches (much larger) and none showed the kind of discoloration we experienced. I could not recommend Archer for this type of work. Ken read more

Aaron and Michael at Archer are high-quality, trusted landscape professionals that provide personalized service tailored to your needs. As professionals they are very knowledgeable in irrigation, soils, plants that do well in the Houston area as well as provide full-service year-round maintenance if desired. Kudos for a great job. We love our new yard. Luis & Gloria read more

We highly recommend Archer Services! Responsive, professional, timely. Everyone involved- Micheal, Aaron, Regina, Laura, Paul, and the contractor crew were all helpful, friendly, and understanding about lots of questions. Once the job was started, they worked diligently to get it completed in a week- with one day rain delay which kept some sod from being put down right away. They left our yard in spotless order as they swept and raked their way to the truck to end the week. All in all, a pleasant experience and we hope to work with them again in the future. read more

Had a great conversation about my project and while we ended up not doing the project at all I really appreciated the knowledge and upfront conversation around options and pricing. I would use them for future projects. read more

Having just moved to the area from the northeast, I knew I needed landscaping and a complete clean-up. Courtney was able to work me into the schedule and the team that came was efficient, communicative, and professional. Excited to have them back and get the backyard landscaped!! read more

Update: I apologize for the late edit, but bumping this back up to a 3. I'll leave the review below, but Archer did call and apologize for forgetting me and I appreciate the quick response. The last person I talked to never called me back. Also, each person I talked to before that point, I had to reexplain what I am trying to do. I will not use anyone that does not have the common courtesy to keep track of their customers. read more

BUYER BEWARE! Archer Services DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR WARRANTY! I had Archer come out to my house to give me a quote to redo my front and back yards. We decided to split up the project into two smaller projects and do the front yard first. During the walk through with my husband and me, I asked the gentleman if we should wait until March to have the work done (this was in October). He said we didn't need to because they "fully warranted" their plants for 90 days. I clarified if that included freezes. He laughed (because it's Houston) and he confirmed it included if any plants died from a freeze. it cost us just over $5,000 for our front yard. Well, a giant freeze hit Texas less than 90 days after they installed my plants. I reached out immediately as we noticed some of the larger plants seemed to be dead. First, I was told they probably weren't dead, to give them some time and to trim them back. She also advised if we needed to replace them, we could just submit the receipts for anything we had to replant. We waited and all six of the larger plants were clearly dead. We went to Plants for All Seasons and bought one replacement plant (apparently this specific plant is in short supply). We planted the plant (which is doing fine). I reached back out regarding the reimbursement and to let them know we couldn't find more replacements. They then sent me a quote to replace the 5 remaining plants (for $205) and told me that I would have to find the plants myself and they would plant them because they couldn't locate them. Now that we have purchased the plants and replaced them, they have now decided that they would have replaced them IF they had been given the opportunity to come to my house (they are in my front yard and I DO NOT live in a gated community) and confirm the plants were dead. The last communication I had received from them was on April 12th and we dug up the dead plants on April 23rd (so they had almost 2 weeks to come and look at the dead plants). They are refusing to take any responsibility for the plants despite their "Unlimited Warranty." Seriously, they charged us over $5,000 for our front yard and provided us an "Unlimited Warranty" and now won't replace $180 (plus tax) worth of plants. After some back and forth about their 'warranty,' they agreed to reimbursement $194.95. They deposited $194.00 into my account. The other $0.95 and the rest of the plants that died as a results of the freeze aren't worth fighting with them over. read more

From the start, Archer took the time and thoughtful consideration to design our backyard landscape. Michael came out to our home and spent a considerable amount of time in our backyard to sketch the design/vision. Archer was knowledgeable about the plant selections that would not only work the best in our yard, but would also be visually pleasing. Their installation crew was professional and efficient. We absolutely love our backyard! read more

Sadly, we do not recommend Archer Services. We paid thousands of dollars for a redo of our beds, and they did a lousy job. Many of the plants looked half-dead when they put them in. Shame on us, we shouldn't have accepted them, but they insisted they'd be great. No problem. That wasn't our experience. They don't replace them until they are completely dead, so we had to live with them for months. Many of them just never grew, so they looked bad but weren't covered for replacement under the warranty. Although they were the ones who redid our sprinkler system and set it up, they kept blaming it on how we were watering. The worst: when they transplanted our 25-year-old, five-foot Sago palm, their crew didn't dig a hole. Instead, they cut all the roots off. It died. Of the three pittosporum they put in, two died. When we dug them out, we found out that they hadn't dug a hole for them either. Just chopped off the roots and plopped them on top of solid clay. Finally, we had them fertilizing and putting down weed control on our lawn. Half our lawn died last fall from a fungus. It appears they hadn't put down a fungicide. read more

We are very pleased with our new landscaping. After the Great Freeze of 2021 we decided our front yard needed an overhaul. Michael and Aaron both met with us one morning at our home, took some photos and videos and then created a wonderful video and quote to show us what our yard could look like. It included several options for pavers, gravel etc. We were able to work with Michael to get exactly what we wanted. The end result is beautiful! Courtney and Stacey were very easy to work with and returned calls and emails promptly. The landscapers were always on time and had a great work ethic. We highly recommend Archer for your landscaping needs. read more

See all

The Archer team did a fabulous job bringing our yard back to life. We had been fighting irrigation issues and the resulting dying plants for 2 years. Christopher, Paul, Stacey and Lisa helped on the scene and behind the scenes bringing our yard back to life. From the beautiful design plan that helped us visualize the new landscape to the finished yard, we are so happy we chose Archer. Their knowledgeable staff answered every question and we had a lot! Stacey and Lisa in the office were easy to reach and happy to help. We made changes to our design with the help of Paul and their on site guys. The result is just what we wanted. We highly recommend Archer Landscaping to anyone looking for a professionally installed beautiful lawn! read more

Initial appointment-to-visit scheduled then canceled due to weather. Our follow up was required but Archer did not respond to several follow up emails and calls; did not answer phone; did not answer voice mails. Random call to Archer resulted in a scheduled call but not a visit. The scheduled call appointment was missed - they didn't call. After several weeks a random phone connection was finally made but despite the missed opportunities for service, "first" available appointment was a month away. read more

Love these guys for their sincere care and attention to customer needs. They are always on time, and communicate with us to understand our needs, and work to complete the job to our total satisfaction in a very timely manner. Always professional and cost efficient. In October of 2016, they planted two new trees in our front yard, and landscaped around them. They were meticulous in their work and it looked beautiful. In February, 2018, we asked them to shape up those trees (along with a couple others). Not only did the trees take on a lovely new shape, but, the supervisor, Ryan, also recommended we feed them with Microlife fertilizer to spur their growth. We are blown away with the results in less than two months!! They have doubled in density and look incredible...we wish we had a "before" and "after" photo to post!!! Soooo pleased!!! read more

Archer is doing a great job of keeping our lawn healthy and green. Brandon, our technician, is friendly, prompt and thorough when he visits. I truly appreciate Archer's commitment to my lawn care. read more

Archer designed and installed landscaping for my backyard in 2017. Impressed by their video showing me what their design would look like and keeping their word they'd stay on the job until it was finished, I had them back in 2018 to redo my front yard. I wasn't disappointed. Owing to the cold winter of 2017, I had some warranty issues. While I think my concerns might have been addressed in a more timely manner, the fact is the warranty issues were resolved without question and finished in time for me to have an outdoor family gathering. I switched lawn fertilization from a large national firm to Archer Services in 2018. In 2017, my lawn had yellow highlights all year and my St. Augustine grass wouldn't spread. In 2018, with Archer, my grass is green, increasing its density and spreading as it should. Again, I'm pleased by Archer's service. Based on their performance, I've signed up for their pruning, bed maintenance and flower replanting services as well. I'm very satisfied. read more

Archer services aim to give you a lawn you'll love. From turf to trees and shrubs. They do a thorough job and very professional. Great job guys!! read more

I would NOT use this company!!!! They were suppose to help make our backyard kid friendly and now it is completely muddy mess! I can barely take the kids outside because of all the mosquitoes now! They charged our credit card WITHOUT APPROVAL and also lied about the extra credit card fees. Please make sure you are on top of their work or they will take advantage of you. read more

It was a pleasure to work with Aaron and his company. They were great with communication. They delivered and installed as agreed and were fairly priced. We will use them again for our "phase 2" read more

I called Archer to receive a quote for landscaping our back yard. Chris from Archer services came out and looked at my project. Three weeks went by before I received a call from Chris stating he wanted to go over my numbers. There is no reason that a quote should take three weeks. It makes me wonder how long it would take them to complete my project. read more

I requested an estimate, so week later they came out and said they would email it soon -in a couple days - it wouldn't take long to write up. It's now been over two weeks and I still have no estimate, even though I've called a couple times. I'm told he's been "too busy" and hasn't gotten to it yet. But when he was here, I even asked how far out they were scheduling, because mine was time sensitive, and he said they would be able to get to it soon because it wasn't a big job. First, if they did not want my job, they should have let me know so I could find someone else. Secondly, my yard has even worse flooding than before. I will now have lost over three weeks by the time I find someone else to call and start the whole process again.This is NOT good customer service and I'm very upset that they treat people this way! read more

We have used Archer Services twice within the last year and they delivered excellent service each time! We had them completely design and install our backyard from a blank slate and the finished product looks amazing. We have had zero issues with the irrigation and drainage systems, and the sod they installed grew in perfectly. Aaron and Paul are both very professional and knowledgeable, and Brandi is always quick to respond to calls/emails. The crew did an excellent job and cleaned everything up perfectly. Although they are a little on the pricier side, they have proven to me it is very well worth it because of the high-quality work and the excellent customer service. read more

I've tried several different Cypress landscaping companies, and this is the first one I'm happy with. First of all, they offer a wide range of services, so you won't have to solicit services from several different providers to take care of your yard. Mowing, fertilization, pruning, weeding, flowers, irrigation, design, construction, cleanup--they handle it all. Second, their customer service staff is top-notch. Friendly, responsive, and easy to understand, and they email you your invoice every week. Lastly, they accept online payment, which is nice so you don't have to remember to leave a check. The only slight criticism there is that they only run their payments every Wednesday, which seems weird since I try to set up all my payments on Fridays...but all in all they're head and shoulders above everyone else I've tried, and the pricing is reasonable. read more

I highly recommend them for your lawn treatments for weeds, fertilizer, and ant control. Our lawn looks great and before it was looking pretty rough. They also did some landscaping and total bed clean up. Very professional, prompt, will answer all your questions. read more

Archer Services completely re-landscaped our home, from recommendations, to design, layout and installation, everything was perfect. There's not a more professional company we've worked with for our home. And the best part is, that in 35 years of living at this address, we had never seen our home recognized by anyone. However, after Arron's team at Archer Services was finished, we were surprised one evening when we drove up to our house to find a sign, "YARD OF THE MONTH". Plus our subdivision includes a nice gift card with the yard of month honor for a local nursery too. Bottom line, doing business with Archer Services pays off in more ways than one. I highly recommend them, especially if you want your home to look great. read more

If you need any landscape services I would highly recommend getting a quote from Archer. They are good people to work with and have two fantastic folks in Ryan and Brandi that you want to work with. Jim L read more

I hired Archer Services a few months ago to do some sod over an area of my lawn where I had a tree removed. They were prompt and the service was excellent! You can't even tell there was ever a tree there! I was so satisfied, I hired them for my weekly lawn maintenance and periodical flower bed weeding. They always show up on the day they promise and notify me if they can't or have to switch. I appreciate that they always keep me informed and always answer the phone. I've had at least 4 other lawn service providers who wouldn't answer the phone or come on the same day each week. I highly recommend Archer Services for all your landscaping needs!!!! read more

Absolute professionals! Archer has taken care of all of our landscaping and general yard maintenance. They have worked with bus on several occasions to beautify our home. The crew even repaired holes dug by our dog while performing regular mowing. They take the time to talk to you about your needs and make suggestions to keep your yard looking great. They go out of their way to make sure that you are completely satisfied with their work. I decided just to let them do what they felt was best on both landscaping and yard care and couldn't be more pleased with the results. Aaron designed a beautiful and functional landscape for our home and Ryan, along with the crew, constantly monitor the health of the lawn, plants, and trees. They send out emails informing me of watering and fertilizing needs. They even moved up the date on a landscaping job just so that it was complete by the date for a party we had scheduled. But, the reader want's to know about the price. The regular maintenance is comparable with any other service. Even those services that just mow and edge with no business license. The landscaping charges are lower. Significantly lower than most. But the quality is excellent, they are professional, and know their business. read more

Good regular service. They work around the weather, and our grass always looks great. I'd like a little more focus on the shrubs, and then I'd give 5 stars. read more

Really good customer support, they always meet the schedule and are completely worry free. I definitely recommend, great service provided. 4 Stars instead of 5 just because the price for one off services can be on the expensive side but you get what you pay for, higher quality. read more

Although I did not end up using Archer Services due to price, they were extremely professional and very responsive. Archer Services has the credentials, and their administrative staff are a breath of fresh air. I can't tell you how many administrative employees at other companies have been unprofessional, but Archer Services' ability to manage logistics and business is excellent. I will definitely keep them in mind for future projects. read more

Archer Services has been a delight to work with since day one. Since they do 2 properties for us (mine and my Mom's), I had lots of questions and concerns. From the very first phone call with Brandy, we were always treated like we were their first priority. Their work is above and beyond other companies we have had in the past, everything is exactly as promised with no surprises. They always leave our yards in pristine condition. The pricing is very good. Chris, Brandi, and the rest of the crew are all very professional and it shows in their work. I am proud to recommend Archer to all my friends and neighbors. read more

I highly recommend Archer Services. I had them replace a 40 year old railroad tie retaining wall with Belgard blocks. I received several bids and was quoted some ridiculous estimates, some crazy materials, and lengthy finish times. From bid to completion I was confident with my choice. Aaron gave me a workable bid number, and assured me with his knowledge and experience with the product. He was quick and easy to communicate with regarding color options, past jobs to view, etc. The job took only two days to complete and Paul worked onsite with his crew from start to finish. My new wall is beautiful and I couldn't be happier with the price, the people and the product. read more

Big mistake. I decided to hire them for lawn maintenance based on all the good reviews. They were very quick to come give an estimate, it was good, and I loved Ryan who was very helpful and informative. After I hired them it went downhill. They could not return emails, calls, or get my services straight. After 3 months of mistakes in my service, I cancelled. Also, they have an ever changing office staff. The last straw was when they applied fertilizer to garden when I only signed up for yard. I had already done my garden the day before. When I notified them, stating I wanted Aaron the owner to call me, the office staff nearly said she would not bill for it. Now I have some flowers dying and bushes yellowing from too much fertilizer. I said I wanted to get a call from the owner, but again the office staff use said they would send Ryan. I have already researched garden centers on how to treat for too much fertilizer - basically flood the roots to get it through the soil, cut the dead plant back, and hope it comes back. Cancelled services. read more

I use Archer Services for lawn care. They are extremely professional. The guys are friendly and take great care of my lawn. Aaron and Brandi have been outstanding. Have asked them for other services such as landscaping and help with drainage. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for. Archer Services is a GREAT value. read more

We have used Archer Services since we moved to The Woodlands almost two years ago. They have done a variety of work for us, including drainage, landscaping, fertilizing, and sprinkler installation and repair. From the beginning they have been easy to work with regarding planning and scheduling, and the work has been first rate: from the quality of the plants and work, to the professionalism of the staff and installers. They show up when scheduled, are clear on the time it will take to do the work, and clean-up when finished. We recommend them to anyone who has landscaping needs! read more
