Great business. Cut the trench for burying my electric. 2 day of rock and dirt but they did a precise fast job. Had to be at least 30 in deep. read more

2-3 years ago we had Amanda from Eclipse come out and do a complete redo of our backyard including a stone walkway, stone patio, dry creek to deal with drainage, raised garden beds, and adding plumbing and electrical to the backyard. Total cost was 80K. Well over what we agreed the job would cost at the time. Since the completion of this project every single thing that was done by Eclipse has had to be redone for or removed- minus the raised beds which Rolondo did a beautiful job on. I wanted a stone walkway and patio with crushed granite or similar material between the joints. Amanda said she didn't "do small joints" and steered me into using pebble between the joints. Up charging to more costly materials was a common theme working with her that I didn't realize until way into the job. Our walkway and patio are about as pleasurable to walk across as a Lego littered living room. You can't sweep them either without bringing more rock out of the joints to deal with. The walkway has been redone and the patio is on the list to redo but because of the size is going to be very costly. We wanted a dry creek to divert runoff from going into our pool. Again, Amanda talked us into a much bigger, more costly, and unnecessary job. The creek bed circled the patio and the pool instead of following the simple path of the run off. Our backyard at this point is starting to look like a moonscape and we say so. Amanda insists once the rain cleans the dust off the rocks it'll be beautiful. We insist on the creek being narrowed and removing the rocks that were put inside the rock lined flower beds and to stop putting anymore rock or stone down without our permission immediately- which I'll get back to in a minute. The entirety of the dry creek bed is now gone as it was a hazard and it was very costly. You couldn't get to the patio or pool- or anywhere in the backyard really- but through two entrances in our backyard because to do so meant crossing the dry creek (more than just a step deep) full of loose pebble. When the dry creek was removed we discovered the whole thing was lined with plastic weed cloth. We're in the Edwards Plateau and on near solid rock, but at a 30% up charge for material I guess Amanda thought, "why not, right?" We came home several times to her crew placing stone walkways, moving rocks around our driveway, creating stone flower beds and otherwise doing things we didn't ask for in the contract but were being charged for after we specifically asked that no more stone or rock be put down. The "irrigation" system that was put in consisted of PVC pipe sticking straight up out of the ground by 3 feet or so tied to two pieces of rebar on either side. Why she went cheap here I'm not sure other than her lack of knowledge but not a lack of turning down a job she didn't know how to do properly. Half of all the pipes placed have broken. I've called and emailed several times to ask for the plans for where the piping is and have not heard back. I'm sure there are none even though it's the law they have them. Electrical to a fountain was installed and shorts out constantly. We're in the process of having an electrician fix the problem which involves finding the line, which I also was given no plans for. When the job was finished we had two pallets of patio stone leftover and a construction sized bag of pebble rock (the big white bag that needs a forklift to move.) Once the job was done and we were left with an extreme excess of material it became so clear how our project turned out the way it did and why Amanda was so insistent and continuing to lay down stone and rock. She had to justify the overage of material she bought instead of eating the cost for her mistake. And at 30% material up charge, why would she? I'm off to fix another pipe. Oh goody! This was is placed in cement! read more

I've had Eclipse do 3 jobs for me, and they all have far exceeded my expectations. I have accused the owner, Shawn, of being a perfectionist. After explaining my request, he always has good advice to make it even better. The latest was a significant project. He flattened a hill, built a stone patio, and added stone steps down to my shop. As you can imagine, the heavy track equipment took its toll on the land, but he brought in dirt, spread and leveled it. It looks a lot better than before. I highly recommend Eclipse Landscape & Construction. read more

Delighted! We hired Amanda's team to put in a walkway along the side of the house to the back yard and got more. First, a great walkway, but also custom metal edging (bc the regular wasn't available this week -- so they made it custom at no extra charge) and a refurbished drainage system (the old one was clogged, so they dug it up and replaced the entire thing so it drains properly to the back yard.) They also cleaned out my beds and took away some refuse that wasn't really their responsibility. Most importantly, I misread the bid and called Amanda as the project was in process in panic because I thought flagstone was going to be installed with the gravel. We agreed to as much as $2,000 extra for the stone and the extra day of labor. But her team picked up the stone and installed it quickly without an additional day necessary. When the gravel was offset by the flagstone, we ended up paying only about $100 more for my mistake. All done in three days. BTW, I had cheaper bids. But I've gone the cheapest route before, and it was always a mistake. This is how the professionals do it. read more

Uh Uh.... "The mailbox is full and can't accept any messages at this time" I'd LIKE to see if they can install a french drain for me, but... can't find a working phone number. :( read more

Hired Shawn and his team for back patio renovation which included a large area of concrete demolition and removal and then replacement. Shawn was very helpful pulling together a quote quickly and beginning work on time. His crew was professional, polite and skilled. The old patio was removed quickly and the rebar put in place quickly too. We had a small rain delay before the new cement could be poured but Shawn's team was there as soon as we had a clear window and they did a beautiful job on the new cement which included joining it with the pool patio and sidewalks. I will be hiring Shawn again in the near future which is the best endorsement I can give. read more

Incredible work and good people Absolutely fantastic. My remodeled house has a 5 star green rating, and the landscaping was part of it. Shawn had immediate recommendations which are individualized, unique and easily maintained. Also had a custom gate and landscape lighting. Their workers are delightful and hardworking--whether hourly or bid. Because they were so approacheable and responsible, I had them put in an automatic sprinkler system, so now the yard is minimum maintenance and we love it. Amanda is a creative designer, who understands, translates and can augment and transform your vision. Thank you. We need to get them back to design a great room for the front yard now that Austin survived the drought! read more

See all

We have used Amanda for our landscaping needs before, and she did a great job, but when we called her about another job recently, she came and did an assessment, promising to get an estimate to us. We waited a little over a week to hear from her as she had not given us the estimate. To make a long story short, we waited and waited, called several times to see what the hold-up was, she kept promising to send it to us, and after weeks and weeks of this, we finally gave up. She never did call us! The least she could have done was let us know she couldn't, or didn't want to do the job! It's months now since our original call. This is not good behavior for a professional. read more

Amanda was fantastic to work with...professional, prompt, responsive, and clear...plus with a creative vision that helped transform our front entrance area completely. She helped get our extensive front landscaping project completed on time and on budget, and we LOVE how it turned out. I'd work with them again and can recommend them without reservation. read more

I'm giving them two stars only because they have a great variety of palms, trees, and other plants, and and cool location. The low score is for terrible customer service. I first called them after my wife drove by their location.. We are trying to replace some dead Mexican fan palms, and a pindo palm, that died off this past winter. I called them a week before we were taking an overseas trip, and they finally returned my call the day we got back from the TEN day trip. I went out there, looked at plants, palms, etc, talked to a guy, and set up an estimate visit to our home. He said, "probably by this weekend", and now two weekends later, still no call. Also, when you call them, you get an answering machine, and then they don't call you back. I would gladly pay extra to do business with some one that has great customer service. I can not find some one here that has a good selection of palms and plants, that has any customer service skill at all. Oh, actually Southern Landscape were pretty nice, they were just crazy over priced. So if anyone can tell me where to get a couple of good palms, that has good customer service, I would appreciate it, cause Eclipse sure doesn't. UPDATE: I'm updating my score for these guys, because of a kinda recent thing that happened with them.. As I mentioned before, they have an excellent selection of medium to large Florida and Texas Sabol palms, which are really cool.. I've put medium sized Cal Fan Palms in my convertible (haha yes it's true), and found a really nice sized Sabol palm at Eclipse, but found out they have a much, much heavier root ball than fan palms, and could not get it in my car (fortunately, because it had some fire ants on it).. Anyhoo, the man at Eclipse said he "would try to get it to me that day", even though he had other big deliveries to make.. There was a Longhorn game on that afternoon, and guess what.. he delivered it to me THAT DAY by NOON!! I had the palm in the ground by game kickoff! I know that Eclipse went way above and beyond to do that, and I appreciate it. I see things out there, on their lot, that I'd like to get.. they have a really cool set of adirondack chairs, that are real wood, and look 'aged', that I'd like to have out in my desert scape.. and, again, if I was looking for medium to larger size Sabol palms, I'd definitely go back.. Thanks, Eclipse, for the quick service on that palm tree! read more

This is located very near my house and I decided to stop by when we were building our front flower beds recently. The owner was very helpful and knowledgeable despite me not really knowing exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be shopping here again when I need to do more landscaping to my yard. Update: we went back to finish our flower bed project and the person that helped us was equally as helpful as the owner was the first time. He helped us haul our plants to the register and then helped up load them into our car. This is an excellent local business and the service and knowledgeable staff are reason enough to shop here for plants as opposed to a big box store! read more

We are starting from scratch after a terrible experience with this company. I hate to badmouth companies in general, but I do not want someone else to have this same experience. Everything started off OK, with all the right things being said, and that's where the good review ends... We were given a quote originally that was a little high, but they seemed to want to do a good job and put everything in right. Of the original 50+ plants/trees they put in, only a few remaining are alive, due in large part to the inadequate sprinkler system they put in (replaced that already, too). The plants were all wrong for their locations also. We were given change orders in abundance, nickel and dimed for every tiny fitting that "was not part of the original quote." After questioning the second change order, their desire to do a good job and put everything in right ended and collecting the money was top priority. After the job was over and we were negotiating their last bill, they said they lost money on our job. In essence, it was all our fault! Go figure. Last time I checked, we were out some $3,000+ on their bill and an additional $900 on replacing their work. read more

We paid over $10,000 in french drains and landscaping to this company to prevent flooding into our house. Our house is still getting flooded and they take no responsibility. DO NOT GO WITH THESE PEOPLE. AVOID! read more

I called about getting our sprinkler system repaired and was told that yes they do repairs! Said they would be out the following day for an estimate. I waited until 3:00pm and when I didn't hear anything I called and left a message asking when he would be able to make it. A call back said he was very sorry but was very busy and couldn't make it today, but he would definitely be here the next day. Guess what-he no showed that day too. I wasted 2 days waiting for him to show up-so I took my business elsewhere. I don't care how talented you are-if you can't show up and be responsible to your customer's needs you won't make it in any business. I will definitely not be using this company in the future for my landscaping needs. read more

I cannot speak to their landscaping services because I've never used those but Jonathan and Sean have been super nice and helpful every time I've been by. I live very nearby and always have some gardening project in the works and in the last year their selection of landscaping plants has grown exponentially. A few visits back they had a particular succulent that I eyed for a pot on my porch and although it wasn't ready for sale Sean split the one they had for me which looks fantastic. They have a very nice selection of succulents. I dropped one star only because, as mentioned by others, they didn't call my mom back about a project she was thinking about but all my in-person interactions with them have been excellent. read more

We had Eclipse replace a very long retaining wall and french drain beside our house. We got several bids and this one was in the middle and the only one which took our drainage/french drain problems seriously. Jay kept us informed every step of the way. The new wall looks amazing and the project was on budget and on time. read more

Shawn did a great job with the work we had him do. He is very honest and gets the job done. We had a few snags but he worked through them and always made sure we were happy. And we are! They did a great job from start to finish. I would call them for any job that involves gardening and construction. They also have a nice selection of palms at their shop. read more
