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!

He also repaired a broken pvc line to a spray head and altered a couple sprayers to work better for the space. He even replaced heads on other sprayers that needed it.

Their entire team is professional, accommodating, and did a great job communicating with us thru the process.

The owner Jeff is a great guy, has a ton of experience, and truly cares about each individual project. He is incredibly creative and personally designs each job after consulting with the homeowner. They did fantastic, high quality work on our property and we are excited to work with them again on our back yard next year. Hire ALX for whatever you need to upgrade your yard - they will not let you down!

One of the gentleman (John) that works there always helps me find exactly what I am looking for and he also offers suggestions on how to successfully grow whatever I am trying to grow. There is a large selection of plants, herbs, and flowers to choose from. There is also a gift shop that has plenty of unique and interesting items to purchase for that special someone. One of the most delightful features of this nursery are the cats that live on the premises. My sons and I love petting the cats; there is one in particular we enjoy seeing the most as he is the sweetest kitty on the property and his name is Vail. If you love plants and love cats definitely check them out!

Unfortunately, my experience with RC Landscaping was deeply disappointing…read more I initially hired them to help with a landscaping project. The contractor came out, marked up my lawn, sprayed grass killer, and began preparing the area. Shortly afterward, another contractor happened to stop by and offered a quote. Out of fairness, I wanted to validate pricing not to haggle, just to understand. Instead of having a professional conversation, RC Landscaping took offense and walked off the job entirely. What's worse is that he had already sprayed my yard, leaving me with dead, unsightly grass and no plan to repair or finish the work. Now I'm left scrambling to fix damage I didn't ask for just because I wanted to make an informed decision. The photo attached shows the current state of my lawn. It's clear, marked, and dead. This wasn't how I expected the relationship to end. If you're considering RC Landscaping, beware: if you seek clarity on price, they might just leave you mid-project. RESPONSE : I initially contacted RC Landscaping to help design flower beds for my front yard. We discussed expectations, and he even came out to mark the yard and spray it to prep for install. While I hadn't delivered the materials yet, I was planning to, and we had a start date set. Things changed when I asked a simple question about pricing. Another contractor had stopped by with a lower estimate, and I wanted to understand the difference--especially since only one bed was multi-layered and the rest were basic. I wasn't trying to cancel the job; just asking for clarity. Instead of a conversation, the contractor called off the job entirely, citing a lack of trust. I was left with patches of dead grass and no work done. I also asked to keep the drawing for reference (since I now have to start over), but was told no. The owner claims I was difficult or indecisive--but I have screenshots that show I was respectful and collaborative throughout. I never changed the job scope drastically--I asked thoughtful questions as part of normal planning. In the end, I can't recommend this business based on how the situation was handled. A simple follow-up led to the project being abandoned, and now I'm left cleaning up and restarting. Attaching screenshots from our actual conversation to provide context. I believe they show I was clear, respectful, and simply trying to understand pricing and next steps.

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.
