UPDATE-They have responded and said they will come back to screw in panels. I will update this…read morereview when they do. They did "finish" the project - replacing 21 posts that had rotted. Told me it would take one day it took 5 days (weather was not an issue). Tore down 2 sides of fence and had a mess everywhere - even in the neighbor's yard (see pic - I was worried that someone would get hurt with the exposed nails.) And left the side open to neighbors for 2 days. Did not haul off all the old posts. Had asked them to use screws (multiple times and was assured they would) when putting the panels back on - they used a nail gun mostly and some of the panels are already falling off (it has been only a couple days). They finished after dark, so I stupidly was unable to inspect a final time. I emailed them and asked them to come back, but they are not responding.

I had a great experience with Raul and Julian. Their quote for my fence replacement was competitive…read moreand very fair, and they did excellent work. Incredibly, Raul planned the whole job out with me and then his crew started work the very next day. I would not hesitate to recommend these guys.

They did exactly what I asked for at a great price! Would highly recommend them to anyone.read more

First time we used LOTX based of what they had finished for friends. I wasn't just pleased with…read moretheir work; I was absolutely delighted. Not only did LOTX do a great job with the landscaping itself but the job site was always clean. A large team came to our house allowing the work to be completed in a couple of days. Last second minor changes were seamlessly completed without a delay nor "you want us to change that" response. They also do not nickel & dime you to death. Minor changes were absorbed. Larger requests were added at a very reasonable increment to the project cost. Would I use them again, "yes." In fact, I plan to have LOTX review my backyard and propose how to redo it.

Cesar is the owner! ) Fair pricing, quality is amazing, and work ethic is so strong! I saw a few reviews and have to say this... you have to maintain whatever landscaping anyone puts in - whether it be your irrigation, plants, and weeds that follow!!! Weed barrier overall doesn't prevent Texan weeds from growing, and generally I don't recommend or get weed barrier. Use a natural ground cover that snuffs the bad stuff out. You'll also have to replace some plants - they can be finicky based on the elements and soil (or rocks) which can vary in a single yard. If you are new to the area, know this - color is season al but most often everything is green. It requires so much self care if you want color all year around which basically means planting annuals yourself.

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.

AWFUL experience working with Amy Anderson. We hired Anderson Landscapes in October 2021, Amy came…read moreto our house, we discussed our ideas and wants and we got our 3D design a month and a half later. Folks, that design was so BAD that I struggle to find the right words to describe it without being offensive. My fiancé was so put off by Amy's design that he just wanted to take the $850 loss and walk away; he didn't even want to work with her to try to fix it, it was so bad that he didn't think it'd be salvageable. Most of the things that we told her we wanted were not included and those that were included were done poorly and carelessly. Not only did she ignore or forgot most of what we had asked her for, but what she did design was messy, barely functional and not aesthetically pleasing. Some examples of Amy's design: - Plants with huge thorns ALL around the walkways and existing pool - Stairs off our deck that dead-end into an existing privacy wall and trees (so you can't actually get anywhere). - Our only outdoor faucet completely blocked off. - We told her we were thinking about changing our back door for French doors - so in her design she changed our existing windows for French doors and left the regular door right next to it. - We told her we'd like to extend our deck, so she extended it and added two sets of stairs: the aforementioned set of stairs to nowhere and another set that ends about 6 inches from an existing concrete planter. - We told her we wanted to replace the palm trees we lost in the freeze, she ignored us. - We told her we didn't want Cypress trees, she covered our backyard in them. - We told her we wanted shade all over the exiting patio, she designed a pergola that covers only half the patio and with one of the support beams smack in front of an existing smoker. I understand that maybe she couldn't design the pergola we wanted if there were structural or permit constraints, but she didn't explain any of it to us and, to this day, I have no idea why she designed only a half-pergola. - We told her we wanted to xeriscape the side yard, she ignored us and didn't even include the side yard in the design. - We told her we wanted storage under the existing deck, she ignored us. - We told her we wanted an outdoor kitchen (with a sink, a Green Egg and storage) - she added a grill. I, not wanting to just take the $850 loss, emailed Amy with a long list of everything she missed or did carelessly. She was sort of apologetic and said she would re-do it and get back to us "soon". A month later I had to email her asking what was going on as I hadn't heard from her. She made up some excuse about the holidays and said she would have our design in two days. Four days later she did send the new 3D design and, while it wasn't exactly what you would expect from a professional designer, it was much better than the first. She said she would have the 2D design the next day - it's been 50 days. Three weeks after, I emailed her asking for an update. Then again the week after. And again. And again. You get the drift. She didn't answer a single email. I eventually called. And called. And called. You get the drift again. She blocked my number. It took about 50 (ignored) phone calls to two different phone numbers, texts and a couple angry voicemails to get Amy to finally reply. All she said was that they weren't going to bid on our project (as if I would work with them ever again), that she had explained that in her email from 50 days ago (she hadn't) and that if I had a construction company, then she would send THEM the 2D design. So here we are, 5 months after hiring Anderson Landscapes - our backyard is still a mess - but we now have a barely ok 3D design, a 2D design being held hostage and a shady company ignoring our requests for a follow-up. Oh, and we got to pay $850 for this hassle. If that's the experience you want when re-doing your backyard, then by all means, hire Anderson Landscapes. But if six months from now you'd rather be enjoying your backyard oasis instead of dealing with a mediocre, rude, shady company and googling "how to open a BBB complaint", then I'd recommend you stay away from Anderson. They do have some good reviews from years ago but I'd suggest you pay attention to the newer ones as something has definitely changed. There are so many landscaping/hardscaping companies out there, trust me when I tell you, it's not worth your time or money to take a chance on this one (and I wish I'd known that 5 months ago).

Wow! Very happy with Amy and her professionalism. I hired Anderson Landscape to do a landscape…read moredesign for our custom home, having not included one with the original build (big mistake on our part). Amy was on time, prepared, and was very considerate and engaging with my 4 yo daughter who insisted on participating in the design consultation with us. Amy listened to my ideas, took the time to understand what was most important functionally and aesthetically, and asked a series of follow up questions that made me realize that she has clearly done this many times before. She took measurements and photos and said she would have the design to me at specific date. All I had to do was send a survey plot. Amy's design was emailed when she said it would be, and was far better than I could have expected or imagined. The design was not a top-down, 2D mockup, but rather a 3D color, POV animated video walk through so we could see the design from all angles, including from the street so we could visualize the upgraded curb appeal. Amy also sent us the Texas guide for native and adapted landscape plants so we know exactly which plants to buy where to place them per the design, should we end up doing the installation ourselves. All in all excellent service. Highly satisfied. Strongly recommend.

He's also a very nice and kind person and consistently goes the extra mile. Especially impressive when I noticed he took the time to cover our new fence so the stump grinding didn't make a mess...nice touch and very thoughtful. It shows he knows his work and pays attention to details. He took care not to let any falling branches affect our fencing while he trimmed our trees, too! My neighbors have commented on how nice our trees look and we couldn't be happier with the service! The price is fair and these people earn every cent with their efforts! Thanks to you guys!!

UPDATE: Ocampo's eventually responded to the project request that they could not provide the…read moreservice, but only after I posted my review. Upping stars to 3 for not ghosting entirely, but should not have taken a negative review to get a response. I provided a detailed project specification to this vendor 7 days ago--which is an attractive company given that they are covered by the Yelp Guarantee. They are stated to have an average 10 minute response time with a 65% response rate. Seven days later, I've heard nothing. So I'm either in the 35% of their non-responses or I'm an outlier in their turnaround timeframe. I wish I had better things to say since this is an unfortunate lone wolf one star rating in a sea of five stars for this company, but "real people, real reviews" is the rule.
