I want you guys to know that we are really pleased with the outcome of the project. The place looks fantastic and the guys did an excellent job; especially Michael Kelton and Donald Lopez. They returned on the second day and pretty much worked independently and did a very professional job. Now, we are ready to put the finishing touches on what they accomplished.
Outstanding experience working with Matt, and Longhorn Lawns! Replacing our Bermuda grass with Zoysia, and expanding our existing flowerbeds, really made a statement. Thanks for making our vision a reality. Looking forward to continuing our landscaping goals.
As always Matt and the crew at Longhorn Lawns went above and beyond on my backyard project. Matt came thru and we talked ideas and he shot straight with me the whole time about costs and scope. I like working with people I know I can trust and do the best work possible. That’s what I got. I even noticed that the crew fixed a couple of my loose fence posts too just to make sure everything looked as good as it could. Same type of thing they did on my last project and why I wanted to work with them again. Little touches to show that they give a damn and do good work. All in all - they transformed my backyard to something better than I could have imagined and kept my budget. Can’t beat that.
Couldn't be happier with the outstanding service provided by Matt and Longhorn Lawns!! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. The crew did an exceptional job not only laying down fresh sod but also trimming the trees and shrubs, allowing much needed sunlight to reach the lawn. Matt Reyes, the manager, was an absolute pleasure to work with. His expertise shone through as he quickly identified the issues that caused my old lawn to fail and addressed them with a solution that worked. He didn’t just fix the immediate problems but also provided detailed instructions on watering and maintenance, ensuring long term success for my new lawn. What really stood out was how much the whole crew cared about making sure I was happy with the final result. They paid attention to every little detail and went the extra mile to get things right. It's rare to find a service that combines professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for the customer, but this team delivered all that and more. Highly recommend!
It has been a very positive experience working with Longhorn Lawn Service! We started with one project and since work was very satisfactory, we did two more projects with this company! Our project manager Mr. Matt Reyes, and his crew were fantastic and it was a pleasure working with them! They were on-time on all the projects, and had very reasonable price on all the work we did together. We will contact them for any future projects and are looking forward to working with Matt and his crew, again! We recommend Longhorn Lawn Service as it one of the best companies we have worked with!
Longhorn Lawns did an excellent job on my landscape project. Project manager Matt Reyes was a pleasure to work with, professional and responsive to suggested changes in the design and plant selections.
Best experience ever!!!!! John Paul and his crew were: on-time, on-budget, professional, courteous, experienced and overall, a pleasure to work with. They installed a major landscape project in our front yard, and when they left, you couldn’t tell they had been here (complete cleanup!). Would definitely use again or recommend to anyone!
Our lawn was a travesty. The trees had great shade, but the grass died. Then the soil died. Then I spent time on weekends shoveling dirt off the sidewalk and throwing it back onto the yard. Matt Reyes with Longhorn Lawns assessed the problem and built a plan that thinned the trees, added a retaining wall, added a path, recommended plants, adjusted the sprinklers, and laid down sod. Everything is native and/or drought tolerant. And the results are beautiful! I couldn’t be happier! Yes - it was expensive. But it was absolutely worth it.
They did a great job. Professionals through and through, re-did the whole backyard to remove the lawn and put in pea gravel and limestone pavers. Re-did the irrigation, moved plants around, planted new plants. Easy to communicate with them, and a fair price.
Great job great follow up and competitive price!
Great Job and easy to work with Grant Faris
This company did an amazing job for our home.
Very good & prompt service at a reasonable price. The workers understood exactly what we wanted and did exactly that pretty fast. Matt, the project manger was very nice and he understood exactly what we wanted and executed perfectly. Would highly reccomend.
Longhorn Lawns just installed 3 bushes and winter color in my flower bed. They consulted with me in advance and recommended bushes and flowers they thought I would like. When it came to installation, they were professional and did a great job, including explaining the watering procedure so that I knew how to maintain my new plants. Their staff also followed up afterwards to make sure I knew how to water correctly. I count on Longhorn Lawns for my weekly lawn service as well as for updates to my landscape on a seasonal basis (installing flowers in beds, adding mulch, etc.). They do great work for a very fair price. I highly recommend them.
It s been a pleasure working with Matt and Longhorn Lawns, we are very pleased with the outcome and plan to enjoy our backyard landscape for many years to come. Matt has assured us that if anything pops up, he s always there to help!
We had the crew from Longhorn Lawns out to take care of our out of control garden beds. Between the summer heat and vacation the beds were overgrown, weedy and much more than we could handle. The team did an amazing job restoring the beauty of our garden beds and landscaping. Highly recommend them!
Very reliable company. The workers are trustworthy and go the extra mile to clean up your property. The owner comes onsite to check things out periodically, which shows he really cares about the quality of their work. Ive been using their services for regular lawn and leaf maintenance, tree trimming, and our special landscape projects for over 10 years.
I cannot say enough good things about Longhorn Lawns. They did a phenomenal job landscaping my yard. The whole process was easy and they beat other companies prices. The team also trimmed my trees and added mulch to my beds free of charge. Would highly recommend.
We have utilized Longhorn Lawns for several years for all maintenance needs from general lawncare to extensive landscaping projects. They have always been professional and quick to respond. Highly recommend.
Wanted to put gravel around our playscape and clean up our backyard and also needed a stone replaced on our pool. Consultation was easy, and John knew just what I needed. He was quick and his guys were out here the next week getting it done. It looks fabulous!
These guys did a wonderful job and worked relentlessly through the hot July day! Will definitely be my go to for any work needed in the future.
They did great work. Fast, efficient, friendly, and affordable. Project was completed exactly as described.
I recently joined my HOA to address our landscaping issues. With my background as a landscape designer, I knew I could make a positive impact on our neighborhood. Initially, we had Brightview maintaining the property, and I was astounded by the lack of services provided. They took advantage of the boards trust, leading to a huge disappointment. After securing a refund from them, I decided to hire Longhorn Lawns. I couldnt be more relieved with this change. Longhorn has been exceptional in every aspect from removing dead plants and trees, installing new landscape, handling annuals and mulch, to maintaining the park and conducting regular irrigation checks. Their communication is clear and efficient, making the entire process smooth and satisfactory. I highly recommend Longhorn Lawns to both residential and commercial clients!
Reliable. They do a great job taking care of our commercial property. Phone calls and emails answered promptly. Recommend.
The project ran smoothly from planning to execution. The end result is amazing.
JP did a great job understanding our project and seeing it through to completion. His crew was timely and capable. JP was always available and we have been pleased with Longhorn Lawncare for the 10 years we have been working with them. Great job Longhorn !
Matt Reyes is exceptional! I would give Matt 6-Stars if I could. Thank you Matt for your great attitude & work ethic!
You all planted seven plants in the front walkway to the Harris house. Theyre all lined up perfectly and perfectly distanced. Thats why I had you all do it. I didnt think I could make them this perfect as you.
Longhorn Landscaping took on a little job a lot of the other contractors turned down as not worth their time. John Paul Ballesteros (PM) was super responsive and got me a reasonable quote quickly. Follow up to project execution was just as brisk. Matthew and Max (landscapers) did a great job knocking out my shed base. High quality workmanship all around as far as I can tell. As a bonus, the guys were friendly, focused, and neat in their work. Super pleased.
John Paul and team did exactly what we needed on time and as specified. Great work. I would recommend them to anyone. And Ai think a good value. Also very timely.
On time, fast working crew completed agreed on work plan, all at reasonable price.
Longhorn Lawns exceeded expectations with their recent refresh of our neighborhood entry monuments. JPs stellar attention to detail, clear communication, fair pricing, and prompt service made the experience seamless and enjoyable. Our community is thrilled with the results, thanks to Longhorn Lawns professionalism and dedication. Highly recommended for any landscaping needs!
Overall, the team did an excellent job. A few plants I wanted left in place were taken out. Still, plants can be replaced.
Longhorn Lawns is a dream to work with! Matt and his team are pros at what they do and we really enjoyed working with them from beginning to end. They know their products well, are very professional and kind at the same time. Our job was finished very quickly. They understood everything that we were looking for and made it even better than we had imagined! It s so wonderful to be able to support local businesses such as them. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for big or small yard jobs! Thank you Longhorn Lawns!
New sod & landscape update done professionally. Matt, project manager, communicated clearly. His crew led by Humberto was superb. Everything was done to high standards. Just hoping the Austin summer doesnt burn up the new Zoysia!!
I love the way Longhorn listens and finds ways to accommodate our needs! They did a great job. I was amazed how much they got done in one day! Thank you for always helping us make the most of the resources we have!!
Matt Reyes and Longhorn Lawns provided us with outstanding and timely service. I highly recommend them.
I ve been using Longhorn Lawns for several years. They have highly professional teams who always make my yard look outstanding. I d highly recommend them
Matt and his team did a fantastic job taking our front and back landscaping from overgrown and falling apart to green and beautiful. Longhorn Lawns is great to work with and the team genuinely wants to make sure youre happy with the final project. Several of our neighbors have hired Longhorn Lawns for their own projects after seeing our transformation!
Great communication all the way through the process from design to implementation. Their landscaping team are absolute pros and took the time to make everything look perfect, especially the edging a artificial turf they put in around my pool. Would absolutely work with Longhorn Lawns again!
Longhorn Lawns - Matt and his crew, did a fantastic job on my new gate and privacy fence. They also installed metal posts for sun sails. It looks fantastic and i am very happy with their work and customer service. Shout out to Max for the gate and posts with the welding !
Matt Reyes with Longhorn Lawns is one of the best in the landscaping business. From the beginning to the end of our project, Matt & his crew were excellent to work with. Matt worked closely with us in the design phase of projects in both our front and back yard. He listened closely to our ideas and wishes, then put a plan together that met our needs and budget. All along the way, he was responsive to our concerns and worked hard to implement a few requested changes. When plant substitutions had to be made in a few cases due to availability, Matt worked hard to find us good options. He also located a couple of plants I had my heart set on. That was so very appreciated. It was such a good experience! Matt also worked with well his great crew. Everyone on the project worked hard to do high quality work. Its rare to find such exemplary work, but the crew was a very experienced group, which says a great deal about Longhorn Lawns! Big thanks to Matt Reyes & his crew for a job well done!
The yard looks great. Were very happy with the project.
The staff & crews @ Longhorn Lawns are simply the best
The team at Longhorn Lawns is exemplary. Everyone from the office staff, to the crews are clearly not only the best in their field, but KIND as well! They have consistently bent over backwards for us, and we are not big money bucks people. Many thanks to John Paul and Julie!
Longhorn Lawns has always done amazing work in our neighborhood!
Excellent customer service and reasonable rates. Better than average communication and response to needs. Very pleased!!
The team was great to work with. They were professional, responsive, and our landscaping looks great. Would work with them again and recommend them to otehrs!
It was a real pleasure working with John Paul Ballesteros as my project manager. From outset to completion he was a real dream. The completed work product was a beautiful front lawn post new sod, made necessary from the drought here in Dripping Springs.
Fantastic landscaping company . It doesn t get any better than this! Thank you so much for the great backyard lawn install.
John, Sandy and their crew members are very easy to work with. They did great job installing new sprinkler system. I highly recommend them for any sprinkler or landscaping related work.
I first used Longhorn Lawns in about 2009 for a custom landscaping project in South Austin and their regular lawn service. Now I am in my third home since then and Heath and Longhorn Lawns were the first call I made for the new landscaping project. Kara, the designer, took my basic ideas and turned them into a fantastic design. Matt, the project manager, and the rest of the crew were very courteous and patient with my numerous questions. I highly recommend the Longhorn Lawns teams for all of your landscaping needs.
Longhorn lawns is the best! They provide a level of service that is extraordinary. They provide really amazing plans and will work with you to meet your needs. We have used them twice and will be using them again in the future! Super clean and professional!
Second day-of cancelation in a row for a quote. I understand landscaping companies have a large backlog but do not make appointments and cancel them multiple times. I can understand once but twice in a row is a trend. If you can wait around to a companys whim stay patient for when Longhorn Lawns thinks your time is important enough. If not spend your effort finding a company that will honor its commitments. The good; Longhorn Lawn was upfront about its project start date availability when I inquired to schedule the first visit.
Longhorn Lawns did a exemplary job installing our new French Drain. We put this off for years, but couldnt wait any more after the monsoon rains last Spring. I contacted Longhorn Lawns to do the work based on Yelp reviews. JP and Matt scheduled us and sent out one of their top crews to do the work. The crew worked meticulously to get the drain angle just right for the drainage. To accomplish the task, they had to use a jackhammer to get through all of the limestone. Note: It was ~100 degrees the day they were here. They worked tirelessly all day to get the job just right. When they finished testing the drain, they put all of the plants back in there places and added more mulch to make it look fresh. Needless to say, they did an awesome job and I highly recommend Longhorn Lawns for your next work. My beds looks fantastic and now I am ready for the next big rain.
I have had Longhorn Lawns for over 2 years now. This is a professional and customer oriented business. They always say Yes when you need help. Fast responsive communications. I ve had big and little projects and they were all completed to my approval. LL aims to please. Also they have provided bi- weekly yard services for us. Never once did they miss a service, unless weather was really bad. Always on time and always to my satisfaction. Moved into an apartment so I don t need their services but I will use them again if we buy a house.
My experience with Longhorn Lawns was NOT good, to say the least. All I wanted to know is what was included in the price quoted to me. If you tell me you re going to charge me $20K to $40K to landscape my yard, then you need to tell me what I will get for that and what I will have to pay for separately. If all your estimate includes is labor and your fee, then all other supplies, stones, plants, hardware, parts and materials are separate charges, then be honest and say so. I m not going to pay you $500 for a non-refundable landscaping plan only to find out that what you led me to believe would cost $20K to $40K will actually cost me upwards of $75k. If you can t give me an honest answer to a simple question then you are disreputable. This business model is a disgrace, and these smoke and mirror tactics to force a customer into a commitment are disingenuous, manipulative and just plain CROOKED! I do not recommend Kara or Longhorn Lawns to anyone who seeks integrity or honesty up front in what you will actually pay to get your landscaping done. Buyer beware this merchant!
I could not ask for better service. I needed help with erosion issues and overall curb appeal. They did both. They exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Longhorn Lawns!!
Very immature. Drives like a maniac!!!
JP and his crew went above and beyond the original quote in both quality and materials used. They made sure that the job was done right and that our family was very happy with the results. It was an 8 day drainage and landscaping project to reroute runoff rain water and design the front of our house (before/after pics). Their price quote was 75% of competitors in the Austin area with comparable plans to meet our requirements. We made slight changes to do the plants ourselves, mostly due to indecision on our part, and added more grass to the order. Both changes were efficiently and effectively managed and implemented. We will be recommending them for related jobs, and VERY likely to be return customers.
We hired Longhorn Lawns to replace our irrigation after we built our pool and then complete the backyard with landscaping. We also had them replace our builder landscaping in the front with xeriscaping and then hired them again to set poles and hang lights around the fire pit. They were on time, within budget, communicative, and creative during the process. They made a mistake by breaking the fill line to the pool and fixed it without question. I would recommend them to anyone.
Terrible, owner is incompetent, doesn t know how to research basic facts. If you want a lawn like the owner s mind (half-dead) try this guy!
I have no clue about the service but I just about got hit by one of the trucks today. I was right beside the trailer and he just decided to come on over and then flipped me off.
Was looking to have several trees installed estimator came out and despite multiple calls in the past six weeks they keep calling back saying the estimator is going to be right back to me and I ve never heard I wouldn t trust this business to do the work for anyone
This is a wonderful company that actually cares! Not only do they show up when they are supposed to but my yard always looks amazing when they leave!! They pick up the hose when it s left out. They move toys when in the way. They always have a friendly smile and a wave! Anytime I have a special request or need anything, Julie and Virginia in the office are always super helpful and quick to respond. We currently have Longhorn Lawns full service maintenance package. This past spring we wanted to spruce up our back yard and they blew our expectations away! We gave them a few ideas we wanted and Kara, their landscape designer, created a backyard oasis! All the guys were friendly, efficient and I will refer them again and again!! We love our Longhorn Lawns!!!
Truly a fantastic experience! Ive been a customer for 10+ years and their service and personal touch is unmatched! I wanted to create an enjoyable, but sustainable backyard - something that made me excited each and every morning when I looked outside... mission accomplished! Worked With: -- Kara, she is the landscaping manager. She transformed a muddy, grass less backyard to the present with design, installation, irrigation, maintenance, and ongoing attention and trouble shooting. -- Heath (owner): After signing up, for the ensuing 10+ years could not be more pleased. In early days Heath actually did lawn work himself, and as the company has grown, both he and director of operations Julie have provided prompt responses and problem solving on a multitude of issues. -- Another key element is how nice ownership is and how this ethic is reflected in their staff. Pros include: Lover of everything Longhorn! Courteous. Responsive. Creative. Cons include: I wish I had another house for them to take care of! (on behalf of Joe S)
I have been working with Longhorn Lawns for three years and I could not recommend them more highly. Above all they are honest, trustworthy, talented and strive to ensure that their customers are happy with their work. Any time that I have had a question or critique they always ensure that my satisfaction is their top priority. In addition to maintaining our yard and sprinkler system, they have also done a number of landscape projects at our home. Before we owned the house the former residents let the yard grow out of control and our neighbors/HOA were not happy when we moved in. Thanks to the crew at Longhorn Lawns, we now notice our neighbors frequently stopping on the street to look at our yard and even taking pictures of the plants and flowers. We are so appreciative of their time and expertise! Special thanks to: - Heath for leading an excellent team and for always making it a point to drop by the house for frequent quality checks or anytime I had a question or concern. - Kara for her landscape design expertise as well as her vast knowledge of native plants. Our yard has been dramatically improved thanks to her vision. - Virginia & Julie for answering emails and calls quickly, efficiently and with kindness. - Juan & Eloy for continuing to improve the coverage and efficiency of our sprinkler system. They come out to the house quarterly to ensure that everything is running optimally and do not stop working until everything is in tip top shape. To be more specific, these guys do not cut corners and have helped me reduce water usage in the yard which has ultimately saved me water usage and money!
Tried multiple times to get an estimate but these guys dont care
Because I worked there and know how the crews define the lawns or propertys. Small business with enough work .Yes we do everything. Full service would be the best way to go , a lil. Pricey but the service is well done and when the fall comes you wont have to worry about the leaves especially if you have a lot of them we service all types of properties make sure you specify exactly what you want on the order all Crews have memos with each residence specifying exactly what they want so we do get them if something isnt getting done its because you didnt order it
AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL! I paid for their hands off, your lawn will look great 365 days / year service and my lawn literally DIED on their watch. No one ever came to me and said we need to do anything differently. I had to proactively call them and say why did my lawn die? and they had the nerve to blame me for it. My sprinkler system was checked by a professional company only 2 months ago and is working great and on the right settings. Terrible service and feel like they literally stole my money for months. Dont use them under any circumstance. UPDATE: After having my lawn evaluated by a third party, they determined the cause of the damage was a gas leak in whatever mower had been utilized previously. Longhorn lawns is an unbelievable fraud that wouldnt own up to their own mistake and left me holding the bag.
