Yeah, this is one of those things in life where you don't know what you have been missing until you try it. The crew at Seedlings actually loves their work and takes great pride in it. People work so hard to have a house, but then cheap out the service that take cares of the most visible part of it??? I used to be one of those people. Not anymore! Seedlings Gardening could also be called "House Love" because of the way they take care of your property. The service is not cheap, but it is an AMAZING value! If you want to give love to your house then hire Seedlings Gardening. read more

I moved from Massachusetts to Texas and am completely lost on how to keep a garden alive in hot weather. The past few years I basically gave up on the idea because it seemed like too much work to find info online specific to Austin and even the suggestions on when to plant seeds on the package are not meant for our seasons. The Seedlings gardening class is perfect because it's tips are for Austinites, in fact classes take place in our yards and I totally need an expert looking over my shoulder. I would definitely recommend this class for anyone looking to have a successful organic garden. read more

Seedlings Landscape Design Build - Learning how to thin out the garden. - Landscaping Near Me - Austin, Texas

After several years with a big name yard care company with workers who ran through our yard with weed whackers and leaf blowers in about 10 minutes (leaving a mess of course), Seedlings and Nicky were recommended to me by our landscaper. A woman-owned business, which is important to me, and even more-a super responsive, professional and expert group of yard care folk who are enthusiastic and thorough. And they use organic materials whenever possible-big, big positive for us, especially living on the edge of the Barton Creek green belt. We just had our first big monthly tune-up, including mulching the backyard, weeding and pruning. What a fantastic job! The yard looks tidy and well-kept, weeds are gone, mulch has been carefully applied, old growth on shrubs has been pruned back properly. I'm in organic landscape heaven! Seriously, thank you, Seedlings and Nicky, for taking such care for our yard-exactly as we would if we had the time and the expertise. read more

Couldn't be more pleased with our new backyard! We moved back to Texas and wanted a design that reminded us of our California home, and that is exactly what Liz and the crew did! They are absolute rockstars--communicated throughout the entire process from start to finish. Liz walked us through the design and was very straightforward about cost while staying within our budget. The crew was incredibly friendly--that Texas hospitality we have missed so much! Highly recommend. We've received countless compliments on our new space, and we absolutely love it. read more

In order to know Seedling Gardening you have to know Liz. She's unique is so many ways starting with the fact that she's a native Austinite and REALLY knows this climate and our 3 seasons. I discovered she's quite the expert on perennials' and can help those of you not from here plant the trees, shrubs and succulents that will come back year after year. I'd like to point out that the pictures really say more than words about her work. read more

We Just completed a design consult and combined day of installation and maintenance with Seedlings. Our yard is large and needed a refresh/ renovation. Reese has a great eye for design and made creative and pragmatic suggestions on reworking different planting areas without tearing everything out and starting over. We were so happy with her ability to quickly discern and adhere to our criteria. She was very helpful with ideas for saving more water and improving plant performance. Audrey and Daniel spent a day executing the initial plan and were an amazing team. They efficiently assessed and split up tasks to accomplish more than we thought possible in the time. They're knowledgeable and thoughtful in their work. Both were very pleasant, good communicatiors and flexible with changes along the way. We look forward to working with them again in maintaining and improving our landscape. read more

Oak Hill approved! We needed help with improving our yard, so I asked Liz for a design consultation. First I filled out a survey online. She also asks for a property survey. Then she met me at our house. We knew we wanted native plants that are easy to maintain and will look good for a long time. Everything Seedlings uses is organic and Liz explained how the changes will help save water and mowing and even help the local wildlife! (unlike Bermuda grass) Liz was able to give us many ideas of how to work with our sloping back yard and how to improve the look of our front yard. She worked within our budget and explained different options as far as materials, plant choices, etc. Seedlings can also add more at a later time if you want to do the work in stages, and they can also come by a do the yard maintenance. Liz really knows her stuff! She was able to tell us which plants look "dated" and which trees were more or less valuable, why to plant them in certain areas and not others. You know, things we don't understand. I'm excited because I know the front yard changes will increase the property value a lot! Also, with her terrace idea for the back yard we'll actually enjoy using that space. Looking forward to having it done! read more

So, I wanted to grow a vegetable garden. I had muddled through some online sources, and searched for the perfect gardening book for Central Texas. I ended up with more questions than answers, and still had no idea where to begin. Then came Seedlings' Gardener Within classes. I now have a garden in my backyard that produces real, edible, delicious vegetables and herbs. The class was small (just three of us), and each class was at one of the gardening student's homes. This hands-on, personalized approach was an ideal learning environment for me. Liz took us step by step through the process of preparing, planting and maintaining an organic vegetable garden. No question was too inane, and the Facebook group is a very helpful resource. I often post questions or updates on my garden, and Liz always replies very quickly, and is always posting helpful tips and encouraging posts. read more

The staff at Seedlings Gardening are great. They are all very friendly, knowledgable, creative and most importantly they really listen. They do bi-weekly maintenance for us and most recently we had them design and rehab a backyard pool area and courtyard. They did an awesome job! They were prompt and efficient. During the process the owner did a walkthrough with me before finishing the job and based on my feedback made some changes that gave me exactly what I was looking for. In addition, for what they do and the care they give, they are very reasonably priced. I give Seedlings the very highest recommendation! read more

We have used Seedlings for our bi-weekly maintenance of our beds for about a year. Our beds are looking fantastic; the team is friendly, hardworking, tidy, and very knowledgeable. We added the fertilization of the lawn this year to their work and our lawn has never looked better. The fertilization is all organic so it doesn't hurt our puppy. We have just finished using them for a special project. The special project came up quickly and Liz was able to quote it on Monday and start the work on Tuesday. This timing was very helpful for us. The project was on our back deck in a very tight area and they were very careful to not damage anything. I would highly recommend Liz and her team. read more

I hired Liz with Seedlings to do landscaping for me, and overall the work turned out nice enough, but I was pretty disappointed with the process. On top of that, her follow up and communication weren't great. The timeline she gave me was way off and she never gave me updates unless I asked. The follow up and follow through was poor throughout the process. I also felt like she didn't have as good of a knowledge of plants as I would have expected for a landscape designer. I was especially upset when part of the project wasn't done right and it took months and A LOT of badgering for them to correct it. At least they finally did. read more
