Morningstar Landscaping replaced our limestone garden wall and did an absolutely excellent job. Once finished, Jodi Phillips guided us through what plants that would best suit the area while being very mindful of pricing. With plants determined, she then had her exceptional crew do the dirty work and the garden came out beautifully. I highly recommend this company for any and all landscaping needs! read more

You must pick Morningstar Landscaping for your next project(s)! I am a repeat & lifelong customer. This is now the 4th time working with Morningstar over the last 8 years, and I love everything they have done (I think we're up to 10-11 projects completed). There isn't anything that they cannot do! Everything is beautiful with quality craftsmanship and satisfaction guaranteed. Great value. The crew is respectful, always keep a clean site, and finish the job on time. This time around we did a lot! They trimmed my Oak Trees, fixed mortar on my flagstone patio + re-stained my pergola (Morningstar built this for me in 2016 and it has held up beautifully even through our harsh elements), added clear polycarbonate roofing to the pergola, built limestone boarders for my flower beds, created an area for my grill AND put the finishing touches on a little rock garden I tried to start on my own. You will love the owner, Jodi, she's amazing and one of the best!! And her crew is awesome too! Jodi has been working with the same guys for years-- they make an excellent team! read more

Jodi and her team took our vision and delivered exactly what we wanted. She has a great eye for design and is very knowledgeable about all things landscaping. We loved her recommendations but she also listened to what we were envisioning. We are very happy with the end result and will definitely use her again. read more

Jodi is so talented at what she does. She is able to reimagine a space and add aesthetic beauty while making the space useful. She put a stone border in my backyard and planted native plants that look stunning combined. She also planted sod in my front yard and brought it back to life. This is my 2nd time using her company and both times she was honest, reliable and affordable! She is just a good person with great ideas and i will use her for every project in the future read more

The patio that Morningstar Landscaping built for us is beautiful and so much more than expected! The flagstone floors are exquisite--such artistry. The overhang is perfect and the woodwork is so professional and detailed. In the midst of the project I added the idea of a gable to help with more shade and a better look and got what I wanted read more

From the Washington Post, July 2023 "Those 10,000 5-star reviews are fake. Now they'll also be illegal." "The Federal Trade Comission has proposed new rules that clarify what is and isn't a deceptive online review -- and would give it the power to fine $50,000 for each fake." A few years ago, I won a small claims suit against a tile contractor and while prepping for court, I saw that his online reviews followed similar punctuation, content, and grammar. They were in fact, fake. Jodi Phillips was the worst Austin contractor I've dealt with, and trust me, I've seen a whole bunch of them. I was suckered into using Morningstar because of all the five star reviews. Now get this: Yelp asked me to review Morningstar Landscaping, and I wrote an honest review. After the review was online for a short while, I got a call from Williamson County Detective R. Jenkins, informing me Jodi Phillips had filed (a false) an harassment criminal complaint against me. If I'd wanted to push back, I could have followed up by filing a false charge complaint, her complaint a total fabrication. In fact, I hadn't spoken to her since she walked off my unfinished job. Get down in the mud with a pig, you just get dirty and the pig loves it. Honestly, I just have to wonder why are most Morningstar reviews 5 star, all sound similar. "knocked it out of the park", "nailed it". Decide if YOU think they're legitimately written by different individuals or have too coincidental similarities. Don't make the mistake I did in believing all that flowery prose. read more

Following our recent new pool and pavilion construction, we hired Jodi and her team at Morningstar Landscaping to transform our backyard into something amazing and she knocked the project out of the park! She built us an outdoor kitchen and fireplace which are truly works of art! Her team also rebuilt the irrigation system, laid new zoysia sod and river rock, and designed flower beds that are outstanding! Jodi's landscaping design is where you see her magic. Her knowledge of plants, trees and shrubs and what combinations will create a beautiful outdoor space is just incredible! We are truly grateful for her expertise and for turning our backyard into an oasis that we will enjoy for years to come! read more

So, we bought a home with an existing pool that we knew would need some work. Enter Morningstar Landscaping and the owner, Jodi Phillips. From start to finish, even with the wonky South Texas weather and holidays, our pool was resurfaced beautifully! It looks swanky now instead of like a Motel 6 pool thanks to suggestions made by the owner! We couldn't be more happy, and highly recommend Morningstar Landscaping! read more

Jodi Phillips was, without a doubt, the worst, most dishonest, contractor I've ever had the misfortune to hire. I don't know if she has some kind of disorder, but she blames anyone who criticizes her, saying it's the client's fault, not hers. She was rarely on the job site. She finds someone that has a crew. The crew she hired for my job did stone work and concrete. They didn't know anything about plants, drainage or drip irrigation, which is what I needed done. The stone and concrete work was very good. Everything else was a disaster. I've had to tear out the irrigation and replace it. Same for the drain lines...none of them worked. I found several that were buried in the yard with no outlets. Same for a driveway channel drain, dead ended in the concrete, no outlet. So many dead plants from not following planting directions in the contract. I was talking to a laborer installing plants. He said he was really a roofer and didn't know anything about landscaping. In the end, Jodi refused to return and address the myriad problems. On Angie's List, she attacked my character, accused me of mental illness, stalking her, and more. She said she was in Arizona for the rest of the summer, grieving over a death in the family and couldn't do anything about my complaints. I drove to her house the very next day. There she was in her front yard, beer in hand. She went ballistic when she saw me. I stayed in the roadside, did not trespass, and photographed Lyin' Jodi in her yard. I don't understand the good reviews. I guess even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while A year or more later, I ran into the stone & concrete sub contractor that did my job for Jodi. He told me she had screwed him over and was considering suing her. I have lots of photos documenting the inept work I had to re-do: drain lines buried in the dirt with no outlet; drain lines not connected underground; channel drain in driveway with no outlet; rocks piled in yard (mowing hazard!!); Japanese Aurelia planted on top of nandina; Jodi in her front yard with a brew after claiming she was in Arizona. BEWARE!! read more

This is the third time Jodi Phillips of Morningstar Landscaping has completed a project for me and she has once again done an outstanding job! Jodi is knowledgeable and capable and just all around fun to work with. And her work is entirely reasonable. It is so reassuring to work with Jodi because I know I can rely on and trust her. read more

Our sloped and shaded backyard was having erosion problems. The mature trees prevented any grass from growing in this part of our yard. The dirt that was washing down the slope with each rain had clogged a previously installed french drain and was washing up onto our patio. It looked terrible! After other contractors recommended simply covering the slope in rock, Jodi (owner) gave us a comprehensive plan to install retaining walls, repair the drain, and install beautiful landscaping with drip irrigation. The whole project went very well. Her crew had clearly been working with her for a very long time. They showed up when they said they would, worked hard, and cleaned up after themselves. Even after the project was completed, she has been helpful in coaching us through watering. I was especially pleased that she was able to re-use existing materials including stone edging and river rock. The back yard is beautiful and finally functional. We had a lot of rain this week with widespread flooding in Central Texas. The drainage worked beautifully! No erosion at all. Overall, very pleased with this project. I would definitely hire Morningstar again. read more

We have now worked with Jodi twice and both times her and her team have been courteous and professional. We are extremely satisfied with her work and would easily recommend her! We first worked with her when we were putting our house on the market. Our backyard was basically just weeds and dirt; she helped us turn it into a selling point in just 2 weeks, for a really reasonable budget. Most recently, at our new place, Jodi installed a gorgeous stone patio, landscape lighting, and some beautiful plants and trees. We love the results and have gotten tons of compliments from friends and neighbors! read more

I hired Morning Star to replace a large hardscape ground cover with mulch. They also replaced a smaller hardscape area with Zoysia sod. The work involved removing a large quantity of small river rock stones and pulling up the weed cloth beneath it. Irrigation system was expanded to accommodate the additional Zoysia sod. The work went very smoothly. Jodi and her team were both responsive and professional. I was impressed by how hard and fast they worked in removing and hauling away all that river rock and weed cloth - it was grueling work but they pulled it off efficiently and with good spirit. This was the second time I used Jodi and her team, and I will continue to do so should the need arise. read more

It has been a challenging couple of years. I have been wanting a wall to edge the pool since we built the pool 4 years ago. We had several companies look at the job but Morningstar was the one that understood what we were going for. Jodi and crew of master masons built the most beautiful wall. There were difficulties that delayed the job, mostly the wettest Spring and Summer in decades. The rain delays were frustrating but in the end Morningstar came thru for us. Love Jodi and her amazing crew. read more

I interviewed a lot of landscapers before I hired Morningstar Landscaping. Lucky me, to get them. The work was terrific. I had Jodi and her team re-do the entire yard at my new condo. That included planting huge amounts of jasmine, a palm, and tree/bushes flowers, building a patio, creating walkways, and doing a million other projects and pieces. I highly recommend Morning Star. read more

We had a small flagstone patio job that wasn't a good fit for Jodi's team but she was kind enough to answer my questions and give me some pointers as I met with other folks. I really appreciated her making the time and can only assume that she takes great care of her paying customers. read more

Moved to Austin but wanted to get a professional opinion on drainage and costs on a large renovation. Jodi met with me twice to see the property and go over several options. I took her recommendations to my realtor and was able to get the seller to pay for the drainage issues. I hired Jodi for the entire projects which included retaining walls, extend the patio and hardscaping, painting inside kitchen, touch up paint outside, epoxy, and minor carpentry repairs. The process thus far has been a delight and I'm very thankful to have met such an honest and professional contractor as her. Very excited about more future projects with this company. read more

Stay away. The owner is unhinged. We made an appointment over a week ago. We spoke to Jodi on the phone and she was pleasant at the time and asked us to send pictures. We texted a few times. We reconfirmed our appointment the morning of the appointment and she said she was running 15 minutes late. Then she says she cannot find our street on her GPS which is odd as both of my cars find it all the time. We just moved here so we are not that familiar with directions. Jodi texted us for directions and we told her we were not familiar with Austin and to use Waze or google maps. She said she couldn't because she was driving. We asked her to pull over to call us but she wouldn't. How it is she can text while driving but not use an app or stop for second and figure out where she was. She told us she lived Austin for 45 years but she is so uneducated and uninformed that she could not figure out an address in South Austin less than a mile from downtown and near Zilker Park While we were waiting she just cancelled on us telling me I was rude while texting her. Mind you I took a day off of work and waited a week for her to show up. She could have easily looked up our address in advance. Every delivery service has made it to our house. I would never hire someone with so few skills. She made it our problem. Don't make it yours. Stay away read more

Thank you to Jodi, Jose, and David! They were quick, friendly, and professional. They were also kind when I realized I did not explain clearly what I wanted in one area and promptly re-did it to meet my needs. Much appreciated! read more

I spoke with Jodi after I found Morningstar Landscaping on the "Bark" app. Unfortunately I live quite far from Texas (I'm in Oregon) I sent Jodi pictures of my deck situation and she consulted with me on the best course of action to save me money and keep my existing decks for a couple more years. Even though I'm so far away Jodi still took the time to give me solid advice on how to go about what my deck needed! In clear and concise directions. I was so appreciative of the advice I received and would absolutely utilize her expertise even from afar when we do decide to completely revamp our deck! read more

Great local company. Professional experience from the initial consult through the final install. Will hire again.

I had previously written a glowing review of this company regarding a pergola they built for me. Unfortunately it started leaning and I have tried multiple times to contact the owner Jodi. I have not heard a word back. I've had to hire someone to correct it. read more

We had an ugly and barely usable deck and patio next to our pool that we wanted replaced. We had some ideas but really needed someone to pull it together and make a plan that could work. Jodi came out and worked with us, gave us plenty of ideas, created a design that meshed with what we wanted, and executed quickly on it with her crew. She was always on top of the process and had multiple options to get the desired end result. If anything turned out different than expected, she was very willing to figure out how to make adjustments so everyone was happy. Her crew worked very hard and did a great job. Now we have a beautiful backyard space that we are proud of! read more

Jodi and her team were excellent! She did an on-site consultation and really thought about our needs from both practical ( will these trees thrive here) and aesthetic standpoints. The day before the work was to be done, the crew came out to confirm exactly where we wanted everything. They gave us a window for arrival the next day and were punctual. The work was quickly completed. We are thrilled with our beautiful new trees. We will definitely be hiring Morningstar again. read more

OK, so the last couple of grass guys over the recent years suggested all manner of thoughts: "you need our super-cool fertilizing", "too little water", "too much water", "you'll never grow grass there". Some folks don't even bother to return emails/texts/phone calls. Then I came upon Jodi at Morningstar. She came over, surveyed the grass, ok, desert, and talked with me about the situation- what had been tried and some options. Jodi struck me as super knowledgeable, actually interested in the botany involved and is environmentally-minded. Within a few days I had a proposal and we agreed to a plan. The grass is now in, the sprinklers humming and the other bits and pieces are taken care of. If you want someone who'll look you in the eye and tell you what's really what- and give you good sound advice, you might want to call Jodi at Morningstar. We're happy we did. read more

Jodi is wonderful to work with. She truly loves what she does, and it shows in the way she interacted with us and the vision she had for our backyard. Her solutions for our backyard issues (grass wasn't growing, needed to extend the patio) were much more creative and beautiful than the other proposals we received for this job. Morningstar created and extended our outdoor hardscaped stone patio living area, created masonry flower bed borders, added and updated our landscaping, installed a new patio and carpentry deck for our pool and painted existing and new decking, stone and gravel pathways. The Morningstar crew was wonderful. Very friendly and hard working. Jodi was on hand to answer questions and supervise, and was always available via text or phone if she was overseeing another job site. Despite CRAZY weather delays from the rain we had this past spring, they worked quickly and did a beautiful job. We are outdoors so much now, and we just love being outside in the gorgeous backyard Jodi and her fabulous crew created for us. read more

My experience with Jodi was amazing from the start. After contacting her by email with a few pictures of my backyard and a brief description of what I was looking for, Jodi responded right away and we set up a time for her to stop by the house to take a look the very next day. She gave me plenty of ideas of things we could do and after she left texted me several pictures of her past projects as examples of things she thought would work well in my yard. We went back and forth for a few days and she worked with me to figure out a way to do everything I wanted and stay within my budget. She even helped me figure out how to deal with getting approval from our HOA. Once we decided on a final plan for the project, Jodi sent me everything I needed to turn in to the HOA right away. I received HOA approval on a Friday and Jodi and her team were ready to work on Monday! I couldn't believe how quickly things were moving since I'd heard horror stories about projects like this dragging on for months. Her team is very fast but they don't skimp on quality. I was amazed to see that the patio was near completion in a matter of days.The total project was completed within 2 weeks, and it only took that long because of weather delays beyond anyone's control! I really enjoyed working with Jodi because not only is she passionate about what she does, but she's down to earth and does everything she can to make sure her customers are happy and within budget. I've already started talking to Jodi about more things we can do in the backyard down the line. Her enthusiasm is contagious and I can't wait to see what she and her team can do next! read more

This company is terrific! We had struggled with various landscapers and landscaping companies for 10 years until fate hooked us up with Morningstar. We knew nothing about them (and they weren't on Yelp), but we met with the owner, Jodi, and liked what we saw from her portfolio. She worked within our budget and exceeded our expectations. Her crew of 6 tore out our existing xeriscape and replaced it with more manageable gardens in just 1 day! We couldn't be happier with the job they did and definitely recommend them to others. BTW, if you're a member of Angie's List, this company is highly recommended on that site. read more

This was the second time I used Morningstar Landscape. The first time was a large project--installing a limestone patio, fixing a drainage issue, taking out a dead tree and planting a new one and installing sod. The work was outstanding and I couldn't have been more pleased. This recent project was much smaller. Replanting beds in the back and front and reinstalling a walkway. Because Jodie is a licensed Horticulturist and master Gardner, I left the project (plant choice) mostly up to her. There were a few issues, but most were resolved. Although our business relationship did not end on a positive note (totally on me), I highly recommend Morningstar for any of your landscape needs. read more

Well we started with the idea of expanding an existing patio by approx 400 sf flagging the new and old patio, flagging the existing pathway to the gate (approx. 195 sf),repairing / sanding/re-staining the existing patio columns, moving the hot tub, building a small pergola off of the patio, building a smaller pergola in a side yard for our 5 dogs, and installing outdoor lighting in the existing landscaped beds. Then we got started and after discussions and ongoing conversations with Jodi and her team we ended up with twice as much pergola coverage, an extra patio for the dogs area, Replacement of the existing patio columns to match the pergolas, lengthening of the pathway flagging to come all the way to the front driveway, a new border to replace a smaller one (and match the new work), removal of a couple of plants, an addition to the existing patio, and reworking the sprinkler system to accommodate all of this!!! OK, first of all I have read almost every review Jodi has gotten and all I can say is she is VERY deserving of praise. Is she busy and sometimes not able to get back to you in a moments notice? Sure, however my experience wouldn't suggest that as I got nothing but immediate and continuous communication from the initial call to the end of the project (and after). Heck the only time there was a delay in hearing from her was when I wanted to get a check in her hands and she politely and calmly said, I'll come by in a couple of days to pick it up. We began after some initial conversation and design ideas with Jodi, and selected a rough patio layout. Jodi was accommodating, friendly, very communicative (texts and emails were flying back and forth feverishly), and all this in the first few days of us talking with her for the first time. She used her experience and expertise to recommend things that would look good, feel fluid, work with our lifestyle / usage desires, and that would in the end give us a place to spend countless hours barbequing, lounging with friends, relaxing with our puppies, and enjoying the Texas weather to the fullest. Now some perspective... I and my fiancee are SUPER PICKY and have very definite ideas about what we liked. We were not disappointed... Jodi and her crew (which is amazing) helped us make decisions along the way to account for unknowns and design changes that were made from day 0 to the last day. As an example, Jodi took our desires and told us to go see one of 2 kinds of rock to use for the flagging. She said we could use whatever we liked, but based on our conversations she thought we would like one of these 2 the best. It is hard to guess what the finished product will look like so her expertise here helped immensely. It limited our focus so we could concentrate on the other details, like the shape of the patio. Initially we were going with a more fluid rounded look, but after some lengthy discussions and 2 cans of marking paint we elected to simply straiten the lines our for more usable space. Jodi, continuously encouraged us to make changes, try marking different shapes, look online or at the dozens of pictures she sent us of comparable and previous projects to get ideas. She always told us, nothing is permanent and changes can be made anytime. She was very flexible and never pushy about getting us to "finalize" anything. But eventually we did decide on several items to at least get started. As it all started to come together and we could see the project turning into the vision we had early on (AND MORE!!). Jodi was awesome throughout the process, stopping by every other day to see the progress, bring the crew snacks, talk through minor questions we had regarding additional changes we wanted to make to add steps where the patio was higher than we expected. All of this was done without one quirky look, or disdainful response; just a polite " Whatever ya'll guys want! " and then it was done. Period. At the end there were minor things (again we are picky) that we wanted changed or redone a bit differently and all was done right then. In fact we added so many small requests that I thought it would extend the timeline.... nope, done faster that she expected. A testament to the crews. They are skilled craftsman, all of them. And the masons are simply artists... watching them piece together the entire patio out of different sized pieces of oddly shaped rock was amazing. Heck, she was so polite she didn't want to ask for the draws we had discussed and agreed to early on. She and her crews made the entire process (although daunting) a breeze. She is by far the best contractor I have ever met.. If you can get time on her busy busy schedule (that should tell you something), take advantage of her liveliness, spunky nature, dedication to make it beautiful and fantastic from beginning to end, and her fair prices at your earliest possible convenience. You won't soon meet a person like her on your daily travels. read more

Jodi and her crew are fantastic to work with-this is our third job with her. We started with Jodi evaluating our lot and existing landscaping in front yard. Removed boxwood foundation plantings along entire front of house, removed existing landscaping at street. Replanted at front of house with Texas native drought resistant plants and trees, planted additional Texas native drought resistant plants at street side of lot; included river rockscaping. Created a very natural looking riverbed of riverstone in our backyard where natural storm runoff goes, creating a lovely bed that also controls for soil erosion. Planted side yard of home to accommodate extremely rocky Edwards Plateau soil with more Texas natives that will thrive in the poor soil and hold it against rainfall. Final finishing touches--Jodi installed landscape lighting that we have wanted for years! Uplighting on new and existing trees. Installed new outdoor ceiling fan at porch to create a lovely oasis at the front of our home, and then power washed/cleaned and oiled our languishing ipe wood deck. Jodi listened to what I was hoping to accomplish with the front and side yard, and really delivered EXACTLY what I was hoping for! Jodi is so knowledgeable about plants and our climate-and she also is extremely particular about the quality of every aspect of the job--spending a lot of time choosing the best specimens of plants, staying in constant touch with me if the plants we'd discussed just didn't look at good at the nursery as she wanted, and offering alternative options. She is also very conscious of budget, and works extremely hard to find the best quality for the best price - be it a tree or tons of river rock. And to seal the deal, Jodi is absolutely delightful to spend time with. She is passionate about her work, and loves to share what she knows. The icing on the cake is Jodi's crew-Rafe is a real gem, and let's not forget her electrician, who worked extremely hard right as our nasty cold weather took hold before Thanksgiving to complete our landscape lighting. We just can't recommend Jodi and Morningstar Landscaping highly enough. We won't hesitate to recommend her to others and look forward to working with her ourselves again! read more

Jodi has been great to work with. We waited a bit to start our project, but we were in no real rush given the quality in the pictures we saw from work she has done for others. The wait was well worth it as our newly flagged upper patio looks awesome transitioning into our existing wooden deck which they re-stained, then the flagged concrete addition that her team did extending out from the wood deck looks fantastic. The prior owners of this house left us an oddly placed (square in the middle of the backyard) and overgrown vegetable garden. It also looks like the prior owners started to build a pergola and just gave up, leaving a half-assed structure next to the crappy garden. Jodi's team cleanly demoed all that and dropped a beautiful flagstone patio in it's place. Sweet. Jodi communicated with us throughout the process and was always focused on making sure the project came out beautiful in the end. She accommodated requests we had along the way to make sure everything was to our liking, gave us a fair deal for all the work they did, and has been willing to work with us on some work/foot traffic grass damage to get us back to normal after all the great work her team has done the past couple weeks. It's the little things that separate a good contractor from the good ones that truly care about their quality of work and their customers' satisfaction. Jodi and her team meet both of those marks, and have left us with a great addition to our backyard that we will be enjoying with friends and cold beers in the very near future. Thanks again Jodi! read more

This is the second job I've done with Morningstar. The project included installing a paver driveway and some landscaping. Here's what I love about these guys...All my communications with Jodi were responded to immediately. They were here when they said they would be. If I had a concern(which were few) her attitude was..."we'll do whatever it takes to make you happy". Throw in competitive pricing and it's a match made in heaven. I sleep easy knowing that this company has been in business for many years and will be here down the road if I have an issue with their work. There is no doubt in my mind that I will be working with this company again. read more

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Jodi improved our landscape design and managed the entire quick and painless process. We couldn't be happier with our new back yard. Highly recommended! read more

Second Project with Morningstar! The work last summer was outstanding, so I didn't think twice about who to call for a new cedar pergola on our patio. Jodi and her carpenter came out to scope the project and design a custom pergola to wrap around a circular stone patio. The result is absolutely stunning. They built a wide pergola with a fan shaped canopy to compliment the curved patio they built for us last summer. They stained the whole thing a deep reddish brown, ran power to it, and installed an outdoor power outlet for lighting. I would definitely recommend them, and we will go with them again for any future projects of this nature. read more

Morningstar Landscaping just finished a pretty big project for my 1200-square foot home- new landscaping in the front and side plus limestone edging plus a Oklahoma stone walkway plus Oklahoma flagstone veneer for sidewalk and porch. And wow is everything beautiful! Jodi did a great job listening and bringing her creativity to the project. Her crew is also terrific - professional and very hardworking, even in the brutal summer conditions. A special shout-out to Juan for his artistry with the flagstone veneer and walkway, both of which are so beautiful! The landscaping and hardscaping have transformed the look of the house which now definitely says "welcome." Jodi chose cool plants that replaced the boring and overgrown landscape bushes. We have nice color now that will be even more vibrant and prolific as time goes on. Everything looks great! Jodi and her crew came to the rescue twice for me as well. First they swapped out the edging for a curved limestone edging which was done the same day as my decision for a change in plans. Next they corrected a walkway problem caused by somebody else in the neighborhood - also same day. I highly recommend Morningstar. I'm sure you will be as happy as I am. read more

We had a very old deck that needed to be removed and replaced with something, but we didn't know what. Also, we had to deal with strict requirements of impervious coverage on our property. Jodi had several ideas that we all loved, but the one thing we really loved was tile but didn't know anything about the process. This was an extensive project and we still are amazed at the results. Jodi designed everything, ordered custom tile in, and just blew us away during this 6 week project. She even worked with a structural engineer so inspections seemed a breeze. We went from nothing to a gorgeous covered patio with pergola, a large kitchen area, flowers beds incorporated into the patio, and a stunning fireplace. They were very respectful and clean during construction, and Jodi was great on communication. Cannot tell you how many compliments we receive and jaw drops when our friends and neighbors come over. Magnificent is the best word I can think of. read more

I had new flower beds installed this summer all around my house then needed to change contractors to finish the job and do the planting. Jodi responded quickly with a reasonable estimate. Jodi worked closely with me on plant suggestions and she had lots of great ideas. The crew worked hard and left the yard nicely cleaned up - they even raked my gravel path before leaving. It looks fantastic, couldn't be more pleased. read more

We needed the exterior lighting of our 1950s house updated and electricity brought to our garden shed. Jodi sent David and several workers over the course of two weeks to do an excellent job. She communicated with us daily and responded quickly so there was never any doubt about what needed to be done and when it would be done. I highly recommend Morningstar. read more

Jodi is amazing to work with, her energy and enthusiasm made this a fun and enjoyable experience. She follows up regularly and was very professional. I would easily recommend her to anyone looking for a job. I had some landscaping and yardwork done, everything looks great! read more
