This is an All-In-One business, Jensen does the design plus runs things, and he is a fortunate blend of talented but also experienced. Just take a peek at their website - those designs are both cool but also thoughtful. We wanted a total backyard redo, including turning a pergola sitting unused in the middle of our yard into an outdoor living room cabana complete with a metal roof and decking flooring. We wanted so much, including but not limited to: ripping out an ugly stone patio off the house's back to replaced it with a roofed over decking floored dining area, then adding an open patio area with metal planters and built in decking bench seating. We wanted landscape lighting, welded metal edged flower beds, more planters, and by the time the project was almost done we added in having them do high quality artificial turf. They had to do wiring, plumb a propane line for a propane fire pit they made out of a huge boulder, roofing, metalwork, decking, planting design and implementation...they reworked and updated our irrigation... It was a lot and they were just amazing at all of it. Jensen cared as much about having everything done right as I did - and I am very picky about quality. And I can proudly say this backyard now looks amazing - like the boutique resort hotel outdoor lounging I was hoping for. We love being in that yard as much as possible now. I cannot recommend Jensen/Red Agave enough, but: five out of five stars all the way! Just absolutely, completely, ...excellent!!

We recently had landscaping work completed and were very pleased with the experience. It took about…read morefour weeks from the time we requested the work until it was scheduled, but once the date was set, the crew arrived on time and completed the entire job in a single day. The project included installing a weed barrier and placing decorative rock around the house and planting two shrubs. The crew was professional, efficient, and left the area clean when they finished. The finished product looks great and has really improved the appearance of our home. We would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for quality landscaping services. A BIG thumbs up to Laura and the crew.

We started with a backyard that was essentially unusable--mostly dirt and dead grass--and ended up…read morewith a space we actually want to spend time in. They handled the full transformation: Texas native plants, fresh sod, irrigation, lighting, a new patio with poured concrete pavers, a pergola, and decking built around our above-ground pool. The result feels intentional, cohesive, and well suited to both the climate and how we use the space. We worked with their designers to develop the plan, and that process was smooth and collaborative. They listened, had good instincts, and were happy to iterate with us until the design felt right. From first contact to breaking ground took about three months, which felt reasonable given the scope. Once construction started, everything moved fast--the entire project was completed around two to three weeks. Most importantly, we're extremely happy with the outcome. The yard is beautiful and dramatically more usable than before. Jason and Nikk were a pleasure to work with throughout: friendly, proactive, communicative, with good taste and a strong sense for design. I'd happily recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their outdoor space.

We ended up having to re-roof the patio they built after less than 3 months because of the wrong pitch angle and constant leaks (we had another contractor come fix the errors) and have someone help us realign a lot of the walk way/landscaping that was haphazardly laid down. The first few days of work went well, but after that scheduling and communication became spotty from them, they had to redo some parts that were not well planned out, and ultimately parts of the work never got completed before they moved on to bigger jobs (but they had been paid).

Their fair treatment, high-quality work, good communication, and hassle-free follow-through on everything they committed to meant a lot to me--especially as a single woman who has sometimes experienced companies trying to take advantage of the situation. My backyard now has the drainage solution I needed and looks beautiful! I never expected that fixing a drainage issue would transform the space so much. The rock selections they recommended was beautiful and the team installing them are true artists -- their craftsmanship turned my backyard into a new highlight of my home! I cannot recommend ADLD highly enough. Thanks for everyone there for the great work and experience. As a side note, the owner, Kyle, is great to work with - a very honest and fair person who clearly sets the tone and culture for the company. They said they aim to exceed expectations, and they certainly did!

So, Ive been calling to make appointments to price out what this will cost. Every company I have talked to has been well represented by whomever answers the phone. A very rough voice, kinda what you would here if you didnt want to answer the phone, answers the phone. Its a woman on the other end. I can hear in her voice that she has probably had a tough day. However, Im a potential new client... I ask to make an appointment to get a quote. "Since you're an HOA, we charge a consultation fee. Thats how we handle it.". I say "Well then, I am not interested." and hang up the phone. Let me give you some advice... If you have a potential new client on the phone and the first thing you start with is fee this or fee that... You are not going to get that client. You have no idea the work we want done here or the amount of projects you could have received. In your line of work, if you're good at what you do or charge the amount that is consistent with going rates, you wouldn't need to charge HOAs consultation fees. If I was random Joe Shmow, I wouldn't have been charged is what that tells me. So instead of coming out to show your work or what you could have done to gain more work, you were a bit rude and started with fees. You just lost some business.

I priced out three different new landscaping companies (besides the other three I had previously used and didn't care for for various reasons) and Aaron was quick to respond to my inquiry, prompt for all meetings and correspondence and brought amazing, collaborative, beautiful ideas to the table. I came in with a good idea of what I wanted but he helped steer me toward what would work best for our home and aesthetic but was incredibly responsive and flexible if I pushed hard in one direction. He came back very soon with a beautiful digital rendering of the work to be done, and was incredibly helpful when I needed to push our timeline back and break up the work a bit. He showed up every day of the project early and got right to work meticulously working on our yard with his awesome team. The level of detail, measurements, materials and design eye that he approached the project with were so evident. Numerous neighbors walked by all week and would comment during and now, after, at their awe to his attention to detail even evident from their "walk by's". Communicative throughout the whole process, the work is BEAUTIFUL. I am so proud of my house and to see my idea come to life with Aaron's help and design guidance. Don't waste any time, call this person NOW. My only worry is that he will get super super busy soon -- good people are hard to find but when you find em, keep 'em! Can't wait for the next project in the Fall

He's always quick to respond, enthusiastic about the projects, and takes a real pride in his work and making sure things are done in a way that will last. We did a complete backyard overhaul and transformed it from a bare mud pit to a backyard oasis that we now love spending time in now: new sod on half the hard, paver patio and crushed granite on the other half, limestone retaining wall and mulch bed on the back wall, drainage, and irrigation through out. We had an old and non functioning irrigation system that we inherited from the previous owners and rather than just ripping it up and charging us for a new one, Aaron spent hours servicing and getting it to work, and then customized it to work with the new yard layout. We also had some freak of nature downpour of rain pretty soon after the big project was complete, which washed away some of the granite and caused the patio to settle with some dips. Aaron came back and fixed it all and added in additional drainage to keep it from happening again. Aaron is my guy forever now - extremely fair on pricing, honest, full of integrity, thorough, and just an all around nice guy. You won't be disappointed if you choose to work with him.

Mateo was polite over the phone and said he could do the job. He and his team arrived on time. He looked at the property and spotted a couple of things in addition to the vines that were invasive/should be removed. Then we had an upfront conversation about price and came to a number we agreed on. He and his team worked quickly and did a great job. He even gave me tips on how to keep the vines in check! I highly recommend Mateo for his professionalism and good attitude. I will continue calling on Mateo for all of my landscaping needs.

One of the reason we went with outdoor Designs is that Wes' picked up on both large and small challenges during our first visit. He talked to us about things that the others failed to mention and when the project was finished we could tell that Wes had a vision in his head about what this was going to look like before he even left our home. We had some minor grade/slope issues that were difficult to see before hand, but now that it is finished we can admire Wes' elegant solutions that show in the end result. I know after our next Texas downpour that we'll appreciate his talents even more. Plus, Wes is a really nice & easy going guy. We both picked up on that within minutes of his arrival - and nothing pushy about him. It was nice to learn that most of his crew have been with Wes for years - low turnover means that he treats his workers well and he keeps the best. Listen, Wes' price will be competitive, but his workmanship is unrivaled. We've been home owners for 40 years and have seen a lot. We can't recommend Wes & team highly enough.
