We hired Crazy Aaron to rip out a very large area of primrose jasmine bushes that had been growing…read moreunmaintained for years prior to when we moved in. It was actually quite a large job duke to the sheer volume of bushes which took up about 900 square feet of land on the hill between our house and the street. To us, it was a bit of an eyesore because it had grown so out of hand. To even trim/maintain it, our regular lawn service company said it would cost at least a couple hundred dollars because of the sheer size of it all. Finally, we decided to just go through with doing it right and clearing out the majority of the bushes to reclaim a very large chunk of our side yard. Aaron was one of three people that we got bids from. His bid landed in the middle to do all the the bush removal and dirt/sod replacement, but I liked that he was also a licensed irrigator so I didn't have to worry about coordinating this work with separate sprinkler company for the new watering zone that would be required for the newly laid sod. Prior to laying the sod, he double-checked with us to make sure we were happy with the line of bushes that remained so that we'd be confident in the finished product. He also fixed a leak that we'd had in one of our old sprinkler zones and did a check of the sprinkler system to make sure it was in total working order. The job was completed within a week after I hired him, and I've got to say, it looks better than I envisioned it. Our neighbors have also told us how impressed they were with the work. The best part is we've got our so much more usable yard now, and we can actually see the bottom of the trunks of the oak trees that had been growing in the middle of those bushes. All in all, I have no complaints and am extremely happy we went with Crazy Aaron to do this job.

Safety and Scam warning!!! Warning!!! Warning!!!! For the…read moresafety of your family. Do not hire this company or do business with them. If however you dont care about your safety and the life of your family, hire this company. You've been warned. Adrian and his company will steal from their customers and request money upfront. Once the money is collected, watch them ghost you with excuses on why your project is being delayed and give excuses about having covid, kid being sick, having an accident, blah blahetc. Then everything goes downhill after that. After collecting thousands of dollars, and after running out of excuses, the work was only 20% complete and everything they did was so wrong. Everything had to be demolished. They are currently being sued by my attorney. 1. He claims he builds outdoor kitchens. That is a lie. He hasnt built an outdoor kitchen and him.and his crew has no idea. He may have done basic landscape that anyone can do. Do not take any chances. He is a liar and scams people. See below why I say that. 1. He poured the extended concrete wrong without taking into account any pitch so water was pooling in the center of the slab. Then he did not use rebar to anchor the concrete to the original foundation so as it started to settle, the tiles started to shift 2. He didnt have the right tools to cut the tile which he was supposed to lay on top of the foundation right. 3. He didnt prepare the grout right 4. He was supposed to lay a walkway paver which should be the minimum his team could do because he claims he's a landscaping company, that was the worse I have ever seen. The pavers were cut crooked. And the gravel had a mix in of different sizes. 5. He built the firepit with cement blocks that were not fire retardant and they didnt even use a level because a 6 year old showed up and asked why the firepit was crooked. See photos. He didn't connect burner to the firepit 6. The outdoor kitchen was not completed. And the worse part was they left the tiles sitting as if installed to fool me the homeowner. It wasn't until I stepped on it and noticed movement and realized it was just cut without it being laid with thinset 7. He didnt finish the brick in the bar area 8. He didn't install the cooking sink water( connected it to the sprinkler system which is the dumbest thing I've seen causing my entire backyard to be flooded and running up my water bill 9. The worse part was when he left all the material tossed in someone else's property. Him and his crew ate made made a mess and literally had left over food and maggots growing inside the brand new appliance box that had my appliances in them. 10. Adrian has no respect for his customer' s property. Who puts trash and leftover food in a brand new box containing appliances needed to complete the project and leaves the customer site in such a disarray??? I had to pay a cleaning company to come clean up after their disgusting mess. Then Adrian chews tobacco and spits all over your lawn and yard The most dangerous part was him connecting the gas line using pipes and connections that are not meant to be used for gas lines. He's not a licensed plumber so what makes him think he could do what he did and put the lives of my family at risk is bryond me. In summary him and his team by their negligence wanted to blow up my house and my family. If you want your home and the safety of your family at risk, hire him and watch him literally steal from you under the pretense of being a contractor and destroy your home and property. Fact: they have no clue what they are doing.

DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICE…read more We hired this company remotely to repair our sprinkler system. Based on their assurances, we believed the issue was resolved and promptly made the payment. However, when our housekeeper inspected the system a few days later, it was clear that the problem persisted. Despite numerous attempts to reach out to the company through texts and calls, requesting them to honor their commitment and rectify the issue, our pleas fell on deaf ears. There was a complete lack of responsiveness and accountability from their side. This situation not only resulted in financial loss but also in wasted time and effort trying to resolve a problem that should have been fixed from the start.

I mistakenly paid him before really checking the work and later found that they missed several dead branches, including one obvious large one. There were also a few limbs growing into my neighbor's yard that they were also supposed to cut back. It's my fault for not catching this but when I texted Oscar to let him know I didn't think they had done all the work we discussed, he refused to come back. He wouldn't even come get the big dead limb that I ended up cutting down myself. I will never use him again and urge you not to use Oscar/Mejia Landscaping.

I wasn't on the property for that job so after they were finished he stopped by my house for a check after showing me a picture of the job. He also fixes fences so the next day he came back with a crew and they finished replacing a fence on both sides of the house and a gate on one side. So both jobs were done right away and the prices were very reasonable. The crew worked hard and cleaned up after they left. I especially liked the hardware he put on the fence gate. Very attractive and easy to open. I will definitely use him again if I need the kind of work he does. Thanks Oscar!!

For the past two years, we've had nasty flash floods that have left us collectively about $30,000…read morein debt, even with flood insurance. The house is built on a hill, and when a heavy rain hits us after a dry spell, bad things happen. When the last payout finally came in, we'd planned to earmark a big chunk for fixing the drainage once and for all. Enter Keep Austin Landscaped. Even though our house is small and they usually don't do such small jobs, they came up with a great plan to reroute the water from uphill and guide it around our house to prevent flooding. Initially they suggested an inexpensive galvanized wire and rock wall to keep the water from flowing into our house, but later decided that a better, solid concrete retaining wall would do the job better - - for just the same price. And then, of course, COVID happened. Nevertheless, the KAL team was still ready to work with us as long as we gave the workers their distance, which of course was only fair. I really appreciated them coming out and risking getting sick to do that work, especially when we were really scared that any time now we might flood again. Our uphill neighbors initially agreed to allow us to install a French drain on their property to allow water to drain into the alley behind our houses instead of into our house, but then reneged for reasons we still don't understand. We offered to adjust planning to take any specific concerns into account or seek mediation, but they insisted that we not do anything on their side of the hill. Of course it's difficult to route water away from a house down hill if you can't do anything before the water gets there! The nice folks at KAL tried several times to speak to my neighbors in both English and Spanish on our behalf, and in the end our neighbors allowed them to complete the plan by extending gravel drainage along the shared fence. We've just had the first heavy rain after a dry spell since they've been out here, and not a hint of flooding. Working with them has been an absolute joy, and we heartily recommend them for anyone with a landscaping or drainage issue.
