For a couple years I'd been watching our backyard privacy fence gradually decay. Posts began to…read morebreak at ground level, nails began to pop out of the gray rotting boards...well, you get the picture. Oh, and greenbelt creatures could easily crawl underneath the fence; it was time. Just by chance, I ran into a neighbor walking her dog who mentioned getting their fence replaced and how happy she was with Austin Fence and Deck. Not only that, Mike across the street had them do his, too. I was sold. I'd been dreading researching fence replacement companies in Austin only to worry that I'd never know if I'd pay too much and wind up with a poor job. However... My experience with Austin Fence and Deck, Aus Tex, was great. David, who developed the quote through his onsite visit, was very professional. He thought of things I'd never have recognized or considered and was very thorough about what the whole process would entail. He developed a quote which I felt was very reasonable considering the scope and left me with the confidence in Aus Tex that I needed to move forward. Aus Tex has a removal and prep team and then an installation team. The whole project only took two days. George and his son Anthony were the removal and prep team. The day they came to our house it was going to be 100 degrees. In short order they started removing sections of fence and hauling them uphill from our back yard to the front which had to be close to 250 feet. Then they began the process of digging the new holes for the steel posts with an air hammer. Our area is solid limestone. And then they mixed their cement in a wheelbarrow setting them all for the installation team. Mind you, it's almost 100 degrees by then. George and Anthony did a great great job and by 3 pm they had loaded all the old fence on their truck and were off to yet another job. The following day, the "Chicago and PT Team" as they are fondly known arrived in the afternoon. Again, another 100+ degree day, and they quickly began measuring, cutting steel posts to size and prepping the 123 foot L-shaped install for the wood. They worked tirelessly through the heat to make sure they installed the cedar boards across the contour of our back lot looked perfect. They even made sure that the corner where our fence met our neighbor's chain link fence was perfectly adjoined so that the feral pigs living in our greenbelt couldn't begin to squeak through. This was important in that our neighbor had spent thousands to keep the feral pigs from destroying his front yard again. Everyone from Aus Tex was both friendly and professional. They did great work in my estimation and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs their privacy fence replaced. You won't have to worry about whether or not they know what they are doing. There in and out, fast and do excellent work.

When I look back at what made our family choose Green Ease Landscapes & Design, three things stood…read moreout: design expertise, clear and timely communication, and experience to back a vision for what our home could be. That vision has been further realized with the help of Green Ease. The following is a pretty detailed review of our positive experience with Green Ease, owner William P, and his crew. In short: You're going to get a solid service with them, so feel confident trusting them for your landscaping needs. My family's home had suffered a great deal of erosion over the years that required some foundation work. While we were pleased to get that done and over with, the truth is that the front and back yards were just unsightly. The front yard was essentially just dirt and roots. The large oak trees had prevented grass from growing, and the water run-off had exposed the massive roots that made walking outside a danger to everyone. In the back, water would collect and stagnate forming a mud swamp that oversaturated the grass. The back yard was literally being used as a storage area because we would never allow guests back there. Aside from a much-needed design overhaul, our home desperately needed drainage infrastructure to prevent further damage and allow the yard to actually function as an outdoor space. Our initial conversations began after I found Green Ease online and reviewed their mix of hardscaping, landscaping, and xeriscaping pictures and services. We were interested in xeriscaping from a water conservation prospective, and because we knew that the amount of shading in our lot just wouldn't make growing grass sustainable. We also knew that no matter what aesthetic we went with, it was critical to divert water in a way that lessened the chance of further foundation damage and swamp-like conditions in our yard. Those were our priorities, and everything else would be nice-to-haves. Green Ease was far away from us and their typical service area, but we took a chance and gave them a call. Owner William P. agreed to meet with us. He surveyed the property and made several recommendations; the core of which involved creating a retaining wall in the front of the home, installing drainage in the back yard, and utilizing a combination of xeriscaping and turf to uplift the overall look of the home. He took the time to ask my parents what they would like and how they would use the space, and then suggested we consider expanding the patio a bit so that there would be more room in the backyard to sit and enjoy the outdoors. After taking a few measurements, he provided a rough estimate of his work right then and there. We asked for some time to think things over. This was an investment, and we needed to be confident. We got bids from two other landscape design companies. One landscaping company refused to provide an honest bid without committing to a design fee, and the other provided a bid very similar to Green Ease, only after asking us to provide a design concept for the work. In the end, no one but Green Ease provided the design expertise and level of communication that we felt comfortable moving forward with. Once we agreed to move forward, William came out and we discussed the scope of work in a second detailed walk-through, and reviewed expectations and timelines. When work was set to begin, we visited with him to pick out hardscaping materials, and a selection of plants that would fit into our xeriscaped design. William made recommendations; many of which we went with, but we also felt very comfortable choosing another option if we would've had a different design element we wanted to achieve. When we met the crew, we knew we were in good hands. Every one of the crew members treated my folks with a great deal of respect. We hope that they left feeling proud of the work they did, because they did a damn good job. We allowed for a good deal of crew-based decision-making simply because of our busy schedule, and we were happy with all of the decisions they made. I especially want to shout out the fact that there were small but meaningful accommodations made in the design that made it safer and easier for my folks, who are up in their years, to navigate. I'm not sure that level of detail and consideration would've happened with another crew or another company. In the end, what we discussed during our first consult with Green Ease was ultimately what we received as a final product. There were no major surprises that you sometimes get from vision to execution. The front yard and its retaining wall and xeriscaped stone and plants are amazing, the back yard's turf and flagstone patio are beautiful, and the garden area that allows for native plants to flourish are all so visually appealing. We're incredibly grateful for the superb work they completed on our home. We chose Green Ease because we felt William would help realize our vision in a manner that was detail-oriented. That was exactly what we got.

A family member asked me to improve the landscaping at her home. The existing landscape was…read moreovergrown from the builder's original plantings over 20 years earlier, and the previous owners' plantings had never been approved by the HOA and were also overgrown. After drawing up rudimentary front and backyard plans, I began looking for contractors that were highly reviewed. Good communication was an important aspect of this. Green Ease, owned by William Paquette, was the final choice. William met us at the house within a few days of my contacting him. He came across as competent and knowledgeable. He gave his initial estimate very quickly, and we found it to be reasonable relative to one other. The landscape plan included a curved limestone retaining wall, irrigation changes, a metal raised bed, and 2 cedar structures (a simple arbor and a trellis). Plants were included, as well as drip irrigation. William accompanied us to a nearby stone yard and wholesale nursery to make selections for stone, gravel, mulch, and plants. The number of plants included in the bid was determined based on the area being landscaped. The nursery products looked very nice when we made selections. Work began within a few weeks and was managed by Chris. William stopped by a few times. Chris also built a custom metal raised bed. A friend of William's built an amazing and substantial trellis and a cedar arbor. Plants were picked up just before they were to be installed, and I was allowed to place them. The project was deemed finished and was paid for, but there were a few things needing corrections. William was responsive and able to fit these fixes in within a few weeks. The positive aspects of this landscaping experience included excellent communication with William, his accompanying us to the stone yard and nursery, well-executed stone work, and the superb trellis and arbor. The guys did a great job of removing old plantings and filling in areas where new sod was needed. The negatives included areas I felt were not as well executed as they could have been, and are the reason for deducting one star on this review. The steel bed, while nicely made, did not fit flush against the patio and was filled with poor quality soil before I noticed the gap between bed and patio. The first "fix" by Chris was putting gravel into the gap and using mortar to seal the ends. The mortar cracked, and a second "fix" of steel being welded to hold the gravel in was done. It's functional but not pretty. Also, the plants that were brought in were definitely not the quality of those we looked at with William. Virtually all of them were leggy, and many looked unhealthy. Several ended up being replaced. I was also not happy that the arbor was positioned without first verifying the desired location. Still, the overall appearance of the landscape is very good, with the standout custom features. Green Ease is a business I would recommend to others. They handle every aspect of landscaping and do a good job.

There is clearly someone that has left this company, the kid doing the work now is as flakey as…read morethey come and clearly expects a participation award with money. I thought that it was odd that his dad came with him since he has supposedly been doing this work for over 9 years, but now I know dad was babysitting him. The quote automatically baked in a tip. I asked for clippings to be bagged, beds weeded, etc each time. If everything had been perfect for the price ok, but not for the nonsense with him. There are so many items, first he put a 30 pound bag of Ironite on the base of a single tree, a 30 pound bag of Ironite is $38 + tax so 41.14 after tax down the tube and a tree that will fry and have to be removed. When his father told him that he should not have done that his solution was to water it in vs raking it out to the drip line where it should have been to begin with. Not only did I tell him very specifically how to do it he said "yes, I understand". 9+ years of experience my foot, I should not have had to tell him how to do it to begin with. His excuse for this stunt was because there was scat there, so the tree is about 15 feet tall and the drip line is at about 15 feet so he tried to claim that there was scat at the drip line in an arc for 15 feet across the yard. He would have had to mow over enough scat that he would have had to pick it up before mowing, this would also mean that the racoons would have had to map out the scat in an arc of 15 feet, no way, period. I also went and smelled the clippings, zero scat smell, I also looked for the scat, I found one small amount near the base of the tree, exactly where he should not have been messing around anyway. He put so much Ironite on flowers that it would have fried every single one of them had it not all been picked out and then he tossed some in pots, who puts a bunch of fertilizer directly in plant pots with supposedly 9 years of experience? So not only am I out a bag of Ironite, I now have to water and water and water to abate the burn so yet more money for no reason, not to mention the amount of walking which is a real issue due to being disabled. The only reason to pull this stunt with 9 years of experience is to kill the tree so he had something else to charge me for He apologized, but laughed as he was apologizing, literally like a grinning i----. I also caught him pushing down backwards on the fence gate, interestingly they do fence work; why would anyone push down on a fence gate period other than to create an issue that needs to be fixed? Next, I told him to mow the grass as high as possible and it is absurdly short and I told him not to burn the edges when he edged, all burned. Next there is horseweed in the back and I told him the day before during the quote, which took over an hour of walking him around and I am disabled so every step is painful, to mow it as if it were grass, he texts me and asks if he should mow it, but did not bother texting or asking about the fertilizer and the tree? He told me during the quote that he would hand weed the area around the air conditioners and then told me that he did not weed anything on that side because I told him to not use the weedwhacker around the air conditioners. Next, a very large bed in front where saplings grow, he did zero, other beds grass was left along with saplings Moved chairs were the grass is not even long enough to mow and left them. I told him exactly where to put the compost bin at the curb before he left, nothing at the curb, his excuse "I thought you meant for next time", so he knows I am disabled and leaves it for me to take out when it was literally the last thing that I reminded him to do. I also had to remind him to lock the gate, seriously a disable single female and I need to remind 2 grown men to lock the gate. He also told me he could do other odd jobs during the estimate, he shows up with a dead drill. The quote was $175 for a quarter acre, but I get bagging, hand weeding, etc takes extra time so I agreed. I waited a day before deciding to do the full feedback and this arrogant little snot told me to get another company, as if I would ever use them again, just how dumb does he need to be to think I would ever consider him for use ever again. He is also out another 5 jobs as 5 different neighbors would have used him had I been happy him, which also basically means he is out of the running for a single job in this neighborhood.
